Passage 5
Once they decided to have children, MiShel and Carl Meissner tackled the next big issue: Should they try to have a girl? It was no small matter. MiShel’s brother had become blind from a hereditary (遗传的)condition in his early 20s, and the Meissners had learned that the condition is a _1_ passed from mothers to sons. If they had a boy, he would have a 50 per cent chance of having the condition. A girl would be _2_. The British couple&39;s _3_ about gender selection led them to Virginia, US where a new sperm (精子)-separation technique, called MicroSort, was under _4_ . When MiShel became pregnant, she gave birth to a daughter. They will try to have a second daughter using the technique later this year. This is not only a _5_ effective way to select a child’s gender. It also brings a host of ethical (伦理的)and practical considerations—especially for the majority of families who use the technique for _6_ reasons. The clinic offers sex selection for two purposes: to help couples _7_ passing on a gender-linked _8_ disease and to allow those who already have a child to “balance” their family by having a baby of the opposite sex. The technology is still _9_. However, Blauer says the company has an _10_ success rate: 91 per cent of the women who become pregnant after sorting for a girl are successful, while 76 per cent who sort for a boy and get pregnant are successful.
A) genetic
B) overlapped
C) impressive
D) unaffected
E) perpetually
F) investigation
G) inquiries
H) feats
I) disorder
J) gropes
K) experimental
L) seemingly
M) elicit
N) nonmedical
O) avoid

Task 3 Directions: Please match the famous figures with their statements of love. Bertrand Russell 1) Bertrand Russell A. Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl — no superior alternative has yet been found. 2) Mother Teresa B. The course of true love never did run smooth. 3) Sir Winston Churchill C. It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving. 4) William Shakespeare D. To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

From the start, there's something not quite right about TillyTilly: she seems out of proportion. "Was she too tall and yet too ... small at the same time? Was her neck too long? Her fingers?” At first, she merely echoes Jess's words, but she soon develops into the friend and playmate Jess has never had. Together they have adventures: they manage to break into Jess's grandfather's locked study and then into an amusement park (also locked) where the gates magically swing open.
All too quickly, though, the family returns from exotic Nigeria to prosaic England, where Jess is surrounded once again by bullying schoolmates, a hostile teacher and her hateful, doll-like blond cousin, Dulcie. Then, to Jess's joy, TillyTilly reappears, simply knocking on her door. They play together, go on a picnic, write a poem. But TillyTilly also formulates a plan to "get" Jess's tormentors.
The reader suspects that TillyTilly is one of those imaginary friends so common to lonely childhoods, and that the strange and sinister events art happening only in Jess's imagination. But just as Jess herself begins to doubt whether TillyTilly is "really really" there, her playmate's malevolent magic begins to spread, infecting every corner of Jess's world.
TillyTilly's power, at least, is far from imaginary. She reveals that Jess had a twin who died at birth — and that she intends to act on that twin's behalf. No longer a girl but a hordfic primeval presence, she takes over Jess's beciroom, turning it from a safe haven into a place of terror. "Stop looking to belong, half-and-half child," TillyTilly intones, "Stop. There is nothing; there is only me, and I have caught you."
Oyeyemi brilliantly conjures up the raw emotions and playground banter of childhood, writing with the confidence and knowledge of one who has only recently left that state herself. Jess' s schoolmates, her therapist, the people she meets in Africa, even her parents, remain suitably shadowy figures, seen solely through the distorting lens of Jess's increasingly skewed perception.
"The Icarus Girl" explores the melding of cultures and the dream time of childhood, as well as the power of ancient lore to tint the everyday experiences of a susceptible little girl's seemingly protected life. Deserving of all its praise, this is a masterly first novel — and a nightmarish story that will haunt Oyeyemi's readers for months to come.
Jessamy Harrison is a girl who______.
A.is a native British girl
B.is out of her mind
C.is a born in a poor family
D.has trouble in controlling her temper

Text 1
When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merely a cold. But when the sneezes continued for hours, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl was still sneezing, thousands of times a day, and her case had attracted worldwide attention.
Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from"put a clothes pin on her nose"to "have her stand on her bead"poured in. But nothing did any good. Finally,she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr. Leo Kanner, one of the world's top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling (难以理解的) problem with great speed.
He used neither drugs nor surgery, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in her mind, he said a view which Aristotle, some 3,000 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily.
Dr. Kanner simply gave a modern psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too much sneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; and he began to treat the girl accordingly.
"Less than two days in a hospital room, a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment, and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer to an ex-sneezer," he reported.
Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder, awe and puzzlement. Dr. Kanner has collected thousands of superstitions concerning it. The most universal one is the custom of begging for the blessing of God when a person sneezes-a practice Dr. Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit. Strangely, people over the world still continue the custom with the traditional, "God bless you" or its equivalent.
When scientists look at the sneeze, they see a remarkable mechanism which, without any conscious help from you, takes on a job that has to be done. when you need to sneeze you sneeze, this being nature' s clever way of getting rid of an annoying object from the nose. The object may be just some dust in the nose which nature is striving to remove.
