It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether
in the United States or the Amazon Rain Forest. Without it we would not have grown
into
primates
(
灵长类动物
).
Or
we
would
probably
still
be
struggling
to
sharpen
a
bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition,
Columbus
wouldn’t
have
discovered
America
and
Edison
would
never
have
invented
the light bulb.
Friendship,
like all relationship between two people, involves competition. It isn’t
competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize.
Perhaps the ecological definition
—
the simultaneous (
同时的
) demand by two or more
organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light
—
better explain it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened
- 2 -
version of Darwin’s theory of evolution
, overpopulation, and competition. There is an
abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (
分
类
)
take
place.
In
high
school,
friendships
learn
to
co-exist
with
competition
even
though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, competition is
too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission
is the final high school
objective. Four
years of hard work is to achieve good grades,
and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of
thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless,
by
necessity,
competition
between
students
exists
in
all
aspects
of
high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to school
work. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too
fierce,
jealousy
(
妒
忌
)
can
tear
friendships
apart.
Yet,
despite
all
this,
without
competition, we would be lost.
24. What does the ecological definition mainly explain?
A. How friends compete with each other.
B. How to win the competition.
C. What the result of competition is.
D. What competition exactly is.
25. According to the writer, what causes the high school students to compete?
A. The number of them is too large.
B. Friendship is a burden for them.
C. They know the laws of nature well.
D. They are divided into different groups.
26. Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?
A. Friendship is always based on competition.
B. The degree of competition is vital to friendship.
C. Competition is terribly harmful to friendship.
D. Competition is a result of lost friendship.
27. What does the author think of “competition”?
- 3 -
A. The results of competition are out of control.
B. Competition becomes fiercer in high school.
C. Competition is certain to happen at schools.
D. Friendship is not as important as competition at schools.
C
A Japanese company
，
NextTechnology
，
has created a robot dog that can tell you
how bad your feet smell
，
by using a powerful sensor fixed in its nose. If your feet don’t
have a bad smell, Hana-chan will happily wag its tail
，
if it's exposed to feet that are
mildly smelly
，
it'11 start to bark
，
and
i
f they give off an extremely
bad smell,
it'11
just fall over like the smell caused it to faint (
昏倒
).
Foot odor(
脚臭）
is a big deal in Japan, where it’s customary for people to take off
their
shoes
whenever
they
enter
someone'
s
home.
In
fact,
exposing
others
to
bodily
odors can be considered annoyance in Japan. Some of the most brilliant minds in the
country’s tech industry have been trying to solve this problem. Last year, Thanks started
selling axmpit(
腋窝）
fans designed to keep people’s
armpits nice and dry. Now, we have
Hana-chan.
The robot dog has a special sensor for a nose
，
and can tell you if your feet smell
just by sniffing
them
for
a
few
seconds.
According
to
some
media
reports
，
Hana-chan can help solve the problem of extremely smelly feet by spraying them with
air freshener, but it's unclear whether this feature comes built- in
，
or if you ’ 11 have to
pay extra for it.
According to researchers at NextTechnology, the idea for Hana- chan was inspired
by a person who desperately
wanted some way to know if his feet smelled. “He told us
his daughter had said his feet were smelly,” NextTechnology's Kimika Tsuji said.
But
he didn't want to know how bad the
odor was
because he
would feel
hurt. That's why we developed this cute robot
.”
You may be able to make Hana-chan faint with your smelly feet
，
but it can have
an
effect
on
budget-conscious
people.
NextTechnology
plans
to
start
selling
the
feet-smelling robot dog next May.

28. Under what condition will Hana- chan bark?
A. When its nose is fixed with a sensor.
B. When it detects mildly smelly feet.

A. Because Japanese have strong bodily odors.
B. Because its tech industry is highly developed.

B. It’s already available in the market.
can recognize foot odor quickly,
D. It has a built-in air freshener sprayer.
does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?
A. Hana-chan is no cheap thing.
B. People should mind their smelly feet.
should be careful about their budget.

D
I look around and can’t recognize where I am. It seems familiar but distant. I see
my
friends
gathered
by
a
stage
where
music
is
playing
and
I
run
over.
As
I
begin
running towards them, they become further and further away. I keep calling for them,
but
no
one
hears
me.
I
start
hearing
a
distant
alarm-like
sound
and
I
am
transported
away. I woke up in a daze (
茫然
) sitting in my bed.
“Oh, it was only a dream,” I said to myself. I have always had vivid and intense
dreams. Sometimes, it
feels like I haven’t even slept because I have been living out my
dreams during my sleep.
Today, dreaming is being studied even more than ever. Some say that dreams are
how your receptors (
受体
) make sense of random thoughts while you sleep. Some say
- 5 -
that y
ou can’t dream of a face you have never seen before, so everyone you see in your
dreams you have at least laid eyes on at one time or another.
Other
people
think
dreams
are
ways
of
expressing
stress
or
internal
feelings
you
may be experiencing. A lot of people say that they have dreams about being chased (
追
逐
).
A
common
interpretation
of
the
“being
chased”
dream
is
that
you
are
feeling
threatened. Some dream interpretation sites say you should try to reflect on what or who
is chasing you to get a better idea of what is making you feel this way.
Another
dream
that
is
often
experienced
is
flying.
This
dream
has
a
much
more
positive interpretation,
which is that
you are feeling free or have broken out of a bad
situation such as a relationship turned sour or a job you hate.
Unfortunately,
if
you
even
remember
your
dreams
at
all,
you
forget
half
of
your
dream within five minutes of waking up and within 10 minutes, you usually forget 90
percent of it.
Dreamologists, people who devote time to the study and interpretation of dreams,
suggest
if
you
want
to
try
to
remember
and
study
your
dreams
you
should
keep
a
journal beside your bed and jot down what you dreamt as soon as you wake up so you
can reflect on it later.
32. Dreams of “being chased” occur because ________.
A. you are feeling threatened
B. you just quit a job you hate
C. your friends are far away from you when in need
D. your receptors is always thinking while you sleep
33. Why should we keep a journal beside your bed to reflect on dreams?
A. We need to chase those people who appeared in our dreams.
B. We usually forget 90 percent of dreams within 10 minutes.
C. It can help us get out of the intense dreams.
D. It can help us sleep well without dreams.
