阅读理解：
（1）[1] One Sunday, Nick Tyler went with his aunt and uncle to see the Acropolis, the famous hill in the city of Athens.On their way they stopped at a large white marble stadium that the Greeks had built in 330 B.C.The Greek nation had rebuilt it in 143 A.D., and then again in 1896 for the first modern Olympic Games.How thrilled the athletes must have been, Nick thought, to perform in such a stadium.[2] Soon the Tylers arrived at the Acropolis itself.They climbed many steps to reach the top, and there they stood before the ruins of the beautiful Parthenon.Nick had seen pictures of the temple before, but the actual sight of the structure gave him an unexpected pleasure.Its design and proportion were perfect.[3] The Greeks had built the Parthenon during their Golden Age, and it should have lasted for thousands of years, but it didnt.According to one of the guides near the gate, an army had once used the temple as a storehouse for ammunition; then during a battle, it had exploded and left the building in ruins.Nick thought the soldiers ought not to have put the ammunition there; surely they could have kept it in another place.However, they probably never imagined that there would be such an explosion.Or perhaps they might not have appreciated the beautiful design of the fine structure.[4] Nick and his relatives also visited one of the smaller structures on the Acropolis, and then they went down to the marketplace of old Athens.The early Greeks must have liked to buy things in the shops there; they could always look up and see the beautiful temple on the hill.[5] Afterwards, the Tylers stopped at a place which some people believe is the actual building where Socrates spent his last days.Nick felt sad when he thought of the death of that great teacher.Socrates, however, would have been very happy to know that many of his ideas still live today.[6] When they returned home, Nick thanked his aunt and uncle for the interesting afternoon.They had been glad to show him the most famous monuments in their city.They had wanted to take him to other places that day, but there was not enough time.However, Nick would be in Athens for a whole year, and he would have many more Sundays for sightseeing and such experiences.

（2）Its a dog-eat-dog world and in the UK theres enough exhaustion around to make it look like an epidemic. Every year, a mountain of surveys and reports centers on stress—- the disease of the modern world.November 6 was Britains fifth annual National Stress Awareness Day. In our grab-it-all-now culture, three out of every 10 workers in the UK suffer from depression, stress or burnout, according to a United Nations report.Women suffer more than men. Today, says Herbert Freudenberger, author of Womens Burnout and Burnout. The High Cost of High Achievement, Im seeing more women with symptoms of burnout.Why is this? In part, I think this is due to the multi-role lives they now lead-as mothers, wives and professionals. Equal opportunities for men and women in our society have given women double the responsibilities. They suffer from chronic fatigue trying to pursue careers while at the same time running their home. Some women blame their employer, their partner at housework, or themselves, but more than half accept that this is just the way life is now.Not to be left out, womens magazines havent hesitated to cash in on this. Good Housekeeping magazine has not been too shy to indulge in gloomy statistics, such as: More than half of the British women lie awake at night because of stress.But its not only working mothers who suffer from burnout. Young unmarried professionals are also feeling the strain of increasingly competitive and globalized lifestyles.Nicola Moule, 26, was a marketing consultant in London. She was hit by a rare illness and could not work for a year. Moule says it was caused by burnout. I think my subconscious was telling me that what I was doing didnt suit me. I had been putting too much pressure on myself to be successful and trying to keep up with London life. You just get on with it. But if getting on with it also means getting ill it could be that our very development heads to our downfall.

（3）[1] One day sixty-seven years ago, a young man had an accident on his motorbike in which he suffered a few apparently minor injuries. There was a bruise on the left side of his forehead and some slight bleeding from his left ear. He was taken to hospital for examination but X-rays did not reveal any other injuries.Nevertheless, the doctor who was treating him decided to keep him in hospital for further observation because the young man was having difficulty in speaking and seemed very confused.[2] At the time of the accident, the young man was twenty-two years old, and the date was August 1933.A week later he was able to carry on what seemed a perfectly normal conversation.However, he told the doctor that he was only eleven years old and that the date was February 1922.What is more, he could not remember anything that had happened since 1922.For example, he could not recall having spent five years in Australia, or coming back to England and working for two years on a golf course.[3] As time went by, part of his memory of the eleven missing years came back.A few weeks later, he even remembered his years in Australia.But the two years of his life just before the accident were still a complete blank.Three weeks after his injury, he went back to the village where he had been living for those two years.Everything looked unfamiliar and he did not recall ever having been there before.[4] Despite this, he was able to take up his old job again in the village and to do it satisfactorily.But he often got lost when walking around the village and found it difficult to remember what he had done during the day.Slowly, however, his memory continued to return so that, about ten weeks after the accident, he could even remember most of the previous two years.There remained only one complete gap in his memory: he could remember absolutely nothing about what he had done a few minutes immediately before the accident or the accident itself.This part of his memory never came back.

（4）Some radio signals are reflected when they meet solid objects; for example, television signals are reflected when they meet walls and houses, and when meet an aircraft in the sky. The picture is not clear when the signals are reflected like this. When a plane is flying near the house, the picture on the television screen sometimes dances about in a very troublesome way.These reflections, which led Watt to the science of radar, are now used a great deal. Radar instruments can show the direction and distance of aircraft. The signal are reflected only when the instrument points at the aircraft; this shows the direction. How do we find the distance?Electromagnetic waves travel at a speed of 186,300 miles per second. We know when the signal is sent out; we notice when it is received back. The signal takes a small part of a second to go and return, but this time is known. So we know the distance from the ground to the plane.Radar is very important to ships on the sea. In most big ships, a radar instrument is always watching the sea on all sides. If any other ship reflects its signal, a white spot is shown on a screen on board. Big aircraft also use radar. The instrument finds other aircraft in the sky. A mans eye is not good enough to do this because it cannot see far enough; but the radar beam can see for many miles.

（5）[1] Many primitive peoples believed that by eating an animal they could get some of the good qualities of that animal for themselves. They thought, for example, that eating deer would make them run as fast as the deer. Some savage tribes believed that eating enemies that had shown bravery in battle would make them brave.Man-eating may have started because people were eager to become as strong and brave as their enemies.[2] Among civilized people it was once thought that ginger root by some magical power could improve the memory. Eggs were thought to make the voice pretty.Tomatoes were also believed to have magical powers. They were called love apples and were supposed to make people who ate them fall in love.[3] Later another wrong idea about tomatoes grew upthe idea that they were poisonous. How surprised the people who thought tomatoes poisonous would be if they could know that millions of pounds of tomatoes were supplied to soldiers overseas during World War II.[4] Even today there are a great many wrong ideas about food. Some of them are very widespread.[5] One such idea is that fish is the best brain food. Fish is good brain food just as it is good muscle food and skin food and bone food. But no one has been able to prove that fish is any better for the brain than many other kinds of food.[6] Another such idea is that you should not drink water with meals. Washing food down with water as a substitute for chewing is not a good idea, but some water with meals has been found to be helpful. It makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food.[7] Many of the ideas that have no foundation, according to scientists, have to do with mixtures of foods. A few years ago the belief became general that orange juice and milk should never be drunk at the same meal. The reason given was that the acid in the orange juice would make the milk curdle and become indigestible. As a matter of fact, milk always meets in the stomach a digestive juice which curdles it; the curdling of the milk is the first step in its digestion. A similar wrong idea is that fish and ice cream when eaten at the same meal form a poisonous combination.[8] Still another wrong idea about mixing foods is that proteins and carbohydrates should never be eaten at the same meal. Many people think of bread, for example, as a carbohydrate food. It is chiefly a carbohydrate food, but it also contains proteins. In the same way, milk probably the single best food, contains both proteins and carbohydrates.It is just as foolish to say that one should never eat meat and potatoes together as it is to say that one should never eat bread or drink milk.
