No one likes bad news, but for some
people, no news is worse. People who are mildly neurotic are stressed by
uncertainty even more than by bad news, a new study finds. Psychologists have
long known that bad news grabs attention, making its recipients take notice,
while good news often is given short effect in the brain. Scientists have
explained the phenomenon as a survival mechanism of the brain.
But researchers at the University of Toronto wanted to learn more about
how people respond to uncertainty--a lack of information or information that
isn’t well understood. Forty-one young men and women took a test designed to

Passage One
The Gulf Stream, which runs like a friendly blue river across the cold green Atlantic Ocean, is one of the mightiest powers in the worlD. By comparison, the Mississippi and the mighty Amazon are but small rivers. Two million tons of coal burned every minute would not equal the heat that the Stream gives forth in its Atlantic crossing. Without the Stream’s warmth England’s pleasant green countryside would be as cold as Labrador, which is no farther north than EnglanD. If this "river of blue" were cooled as much as 15 degrees, England, Scandinavia, northern France and Germany would probably become a region for the Eskimos.
The general course of the blue river has never been known to change. From Florida north the Stream follows the curve of the coast but stays well away from the shore. When the warm waters meet the icy Labrador currents, the Stream loses some speed and heat, but even with icebergs at its margin it stays warm
A. interesting facts about the Gulf Stream
B. scientific experiments on the Gulf Stream
C. currents similar to the Gulf Stream
D. tropical sea life in the Golf Stream
[单项选择]Grandpa My Hero
My grandfather had only one child and that was my mother. He always wanted a son but it never happened. 26 When my mom got pregnant, he thought he finally had a boy in the family, but it turned out that her first child was my other sister. When I was born, Grandpa was very happy.
He was the first person to give me a baseball glove and to play baseball with me. My first glove was as small as my whole hand is now. When Grandpa gave me that glove, I was very excited. 27 It was my pride and joy.
When I was five, I played on my first baseball team and Grandpa was the coach. He wanted me to play one position, but I wanted to play another. 28 I tried so hard that I made good progress. Grandpa was very proud of me. Ever since then, he has worked with me to make me a better player.
Grandpa has helped me become not only a better player, but a better person. 29 Today Grandpa does not play baseball with me so often, but he still comes
