[不定项选择题]When the right person is holding the right job at the right moment,that person’s influence is greatly expanded.That is the position in which Janet Yellen,who is expected to be confirmed as the next chair of the Federal Reserve Bank(Fe
D.in
January,now finds herself.If you believe,as many do,that unemployment is the major economic and social concern of our
day,then it is no stretch to think Yellen is the most powerful person in the world right now.Throughout the 2008 financial
crisis and the recession and recovery that followed,central banks have taken on the role of stimulators of last resort,holding
up the global economy with vast amounts of money in the form of asset buying.Yellen,previously a Fed vice chair,was one of the principal architects of the Fed's$3.8 trillion money dump.A star economist known for her groundbreaking work on labor
markets,Yellen was a kind of prophetess early on in the crisis for her warnings about the subprime(次级债)meltdown.Now it will be her job to get the Fed and the markets out of the biggest and most unconventional monetary program in history without derailing the fragile recovery.The good news is that Yellen,67,is particularly well suited to meet these challenges.She has a keen understanding of financial markets,an appreciation for their imperfections and a strong belief that human suffering was more related to unemployment than anything else.
Some experts worry that Yellen will be inclined to chase unemployment to the neglect of inflation.
But with wages still relatively flat and the economy increasingly divided between the well-off and the long-term
unemployed,more people worry about the opposite,deflation(通货紧缩)that would aggravate the economy’s problems.
Either way,the incoming Fed chief will have to walk a fine line in slowly ending the stimulus.It must be steady enough to
deflate bubbles and bring markets back down to earth but not so quick that it creates another credit crisis.
Unlike many past Fed leaders,Yellen is not one to buy into the finance industry's argument that it should be left alone to
regulate itself.She knows all along the Fed has been too slack on regulation of finance.Yellen is likely to address the issue
right after she pushes unemployment below 6%,stabilizes markets and makes sure that the recovery is more inclusive an
D.robust.As Princeton Professor Alan Blinder says,“She’s smart as a whip,deeply logical,willing to argue but also a good
listener.She can persuade without creating hostility.”All those traits will be useful as the global economy’s new power player
takes on its most annoying problems.
What do many people think is the biggest problem facing Janet Yellen 《》（）
A.Lack of money.
B.Subprime crisis.
C.Unemployment.
D.Social instability.

When We Are Asleep
Everyone dreams,but some people never recall their dreams,or do so very rarely.
Other people always wake up with vivid recollections（记忆）of their dreams, though they
forget them very quickly.In an average night of eight hours' sleep,an average adult will
dream for around one hundred minutes,probably having three to five dreams,each lasting
from ten to thirty minutes.
Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which
measures the electrical waves in the brain.During dreaming,these waves move more
quickly.Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under
the lids，just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects.These signs of
dreaming have been detected in all mammals（哺乳动物）studied, including dogs,
monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles（爬行动物）.This period
of sleep is called the"D"state.Babies experience the"D"state for around 50%of their
sleep;the period reduces to around 25%by the age of 10.
Dreams take the form of stories,but they may be strange and with incidents not
connected,which make little sense.Dreams are seldom without people in them and they
are usually about people we know.One estimate says that two-thirds of the"cast"of our
dream dramas are friends and relations.Vision seems an essential part of dreams,except
for people blind from birth.Sound and touch are senses also often aroused,but smell and
taste are not frequently involved.In"normal"dreams,the dreamer may be taking part,or
be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.
However,the dreamer does have control over one type of dream.This type of dream is
called a "lucid"（清醒的）dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are
occasional lucid dreamers.Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time.In a lucid
dream,the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.
In a lucid dream we can use Morse code to communicate with others.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned

When Teen Dating Turns Abusive and Violent
When teens start dating,parents' worries grow.__________(46)Nearly 10 percent of teenagers experience some form of violence in their dating relationships,according to the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dating violence encompasses physical,emotional and sexual abuse,the CDC notes.___________ (47)A study in the January issue of Pediatrics found that teens who had experienced dating violence were more likely to binge drink,smoke,have depression symptoms,think about suicide and experience additional intimate partner violence than were their peers who'd never experienced dating violence.
Often,though,abusive behavior starts with teasing and name-calling,which teens may see as a normal part of a relationship but which,according to the CDC,can lead to more serious violence, such as hitting or rape.
Nancy Diaz,a domestic violence consultant who has provided services to Outreach in New York City,said that when she explains verbal abuse to teens,many think it's just normal conversation. __________(48) "It's the cycle of violence,"Diaz said.
If a teen girl slaps a teen boy,the boy often says it's not abuse because it doesn't hurt,but Diaz explains that it is._________(49)"That's rape,but the girls don't think of it as rape,"Diaz said.
For parents,protection starts with knowing the person their teen is dating."Invite them in,or offer to drive them somewhere," Diaz said."Just make sure you know who they're connecting with."__________(50)"Look for sores,bruises or scratches,and check out what they're doing on social media like Facebook."
________（50）
