A
Late one morning in 20 1 2,headed for lunch in San Francisco,I drove towards one of the toll booths(收费亭).I heard loud music.It sounded like a party,or a Michael Jackson concert.I looked around.No other cars with their windows open.I looked at the toll booth.Inside it,a young man was dancing.
“What are you doing?”I asked.
“I’m having a party,”he said.
“What about the rest of the people?”I looked over at other booths:nothing moving there.
“They’re not invited.”
I had a dozen other questions for him,but somebody in a big hurry to get somewhere started punching his horn (按喇叭) behind me and I drove off.But I made a note to myself‘.Find this guy again.There’s something in his eyes that says there’s magic in his toll booth.
Months later I did find him again,still with the loud music,still having a party.
Again I asked.“What are you doing?”
He said.“I remember you from the last time.I’m still dancing.I’m having the same party.”
I said.“Look.What about the rest of the people”
He said.“Stop.Do you see other people there?”He pointed down the row of toll booths.“Everyday, they just get in the booths,stay for eight hours,do the same motions.Brain is on hold,dead on the job.But I am enjoying my life and I’m going to be a dancer someday.”
Sixteen people are dead on the j ob,and the seventeenth,in nearly the same situation,finds out another way to live.He and I did have lunch later, and he said。“I don’t understand why anybody would think my job is boring.I have a comer office,glass on all sides.I can see the Golden Gate,San Francisco.the Berkeley hills.Half of the western people have vacations here while I can stay here every day and practise dancing for the future success.’’

A man was charged with first··degree murder of a 79.-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death.In an attempt to escape after a bank robbery, the 20.year-old Larry Whitfield broke into the home of Mary Parnell.Police say he didn’t touch Parnell but that she died after suffering a heart attack that was caused by terror.Can the guy be held responsible for the woman’s death? Prosecutors(公诉人) said that he can under the state’s murder rule,which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another person’s death while committing or fleeing from a felony crime like robbery---even if he or she doesn’t kill someone on purpose.
But,medically speaking,can someone actually be frightened to death?
Absolutely, no question about it.
The body has a natural protective method called the fight—or-flight response(战或逃反应),which was originally described by Walter Cannon,the chairman of Harvard University’s physiology department from 1906 to 1942.If, in the wild,an animal is faced with a life.threatening situation.the autonomic nerve system responds by increasing heart rate,increasing blood flow to the muscles,and slowing digestion,among other things.All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast.This process certainly would be of help to ancient humans.However, in the modem world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response.
The autonomic nerve system uses the chemical messenger to send signals to various parts of the body to activate the fight-or-flight response.This chemical is toxic(有毒的1 in large amounts;it damages the organs such as the heart,lungs,liver and kidneys.It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart.There is almost no other organ that would fail so fast as to cause sudden death.Kidney failure,liver failure,those things don’t kill you suddenly.
By the way, any strong positive or negative emotions such as happiness or sadness can cause the same result.There are people who have died in strong emotions.There was a case of a golfer who hit a hole in one,turned to his partner and said,“I can die now”一and then he dropped dead.For about seven days after the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.there was an increase of sudden cardiac death among New Yorkers.
31.Why was the man charged?
A.Because he was trying to kill an old woman.
B.Because he caused an old woman’s terror and she died.
C.Because he beat an old woman and caused her heart attack.
D.Because he murdered an old woman while robbing a bank.
32.The underlined word felony in Para.1 most probably means ___________.
A.new B.severe C.deadly D.organized
33.Which of the following about the fight-or-flight response is true?
A.The fight-or-flight response was not raised or proved yet.
B.It is a natural protective method that can only be found in humans.
C.The ancient humans had a better fight-or-flight response than modem ones.
D.The fight—or—flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs.
34.What activity can we infer is less likely to damage the organs?
A.Winning a big lottery. B.Missing a dead family.
C.Watching a horror movie.D.Listening to a sweet song.
35.The purpose of the passage is _____________.
A.to explain why people will die of a heart attack
B.to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failure
C.to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a death
D.to show strong emotions can cause a sudden death
