Tom Macdonald would describe himself as pretty relaxed-unless he sees the doctor.Then, suddenly, his blood pressure（血壓） rises.
“I was a truck driver, I would be under pressure all day, dealing with traffic and long journeys to make sure we were on time, ” said Tom.“But I never got worried with work.Yet medical settings made me very nervous.”
This wasn’t a problem until ten years ago when Tom developed an umbilical hernia（臍疝）.His doctor told him although not considered serious, if left untreated, a hernia can cause bad results.However.Tom’s situation created problems.“When I had my blood pressure taken in hospital, the doctor told me that I wouldn’t be able to have the surgery（手術(shù)）because it was so high.”
Surgery for patients with high blood pressure can be risky.But when Tom’s blood pressure was later taken, the top number fell to below 140high, but not high enough to prevent surgery.“Soon afterwards, my doctor told me that I suffered from ‘ white coat syndrome（綜合征）’.He explained it was seeing a doctor or being in a hospital that caused your blood pressure to rise even if it is usually normal.”
“The main difficulty with white coat syndrome is that it only happens in a medical setting, which means you can’t really treat it,” says Professor Peter Sever, “You can’t send a patient away with medicine because once they get home and take it, their blood pressure is going to fall through the floor.” The good news is that many people do gain control over the syndrome; knowledge can make a difference.“For some people, if they know they have it, they do seem to be able to take some control over it and it can improve,” says Professor Sever.
Many hospitals now have methods to solve the problem of white coat syndrome.They include the Will Adams NHS Treatment Centre in Gillingham, Kent, where Tom finally had his hernia repaired earlier this year.

A.Taking some medicine.
B.Avoid going to hospitals.
C.Getting treatment at home.
D.Fully knowing the syndrome.
4.What can we know about the result of Tom’s treatment?
A.It’s creative.B.It’s satisfying.

Some people state they never forget a face.But what does that saying mean? Is there really no limit to the number of faces a person can remember?
A new study has found that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces.That number comes from a group of researchers at the University of York in England, There have been many studies recently on facial recognition.But the authors of this study say theirs is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the abilities of humans to recognize faces.
During the study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible, Then, they wrote down famous faces they know, such as actors, politicians and other public people.The results showed that the participants knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces, which is very shocking to the researchers.Rob Jenkins, coauthor of the study, said one explanation about it may be that some people have a natural ability for remembering faces.He also said it could be because of different social environments.Some people may have grown up in more populated places.So they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.
The ability to tell individual people apart is “clearly important.” In today’s modern world of big cities, televisions and social media, we meet thousands of people.Our facial recognition abilities help us to deal with the many different faces we see on the screens, as well as those we know.
The people in the study included 25 men and women.They are between 18 and 61 years old.“It would be interesting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Jenkins said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime.But, he added, there also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.
1.How is the study different from the previous ones?
A.It is the first study on facial recognition.
B.The study includes participants of all ages.
C.It lists the number of faces people can recognize.
D.Participants could only recognize faces from personal lives.
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The difference of social environments.
B.People’s natural ability to learn.
C.The wide range of the numbers.
D.The necessity of facial recognition.
3.What will the researchers probably focus on after this study?
A.Why older people remember more faces.
B.When people can remember the most faces.
C.Whether people’s ability to remember faces is necessary.
D.How our ability to remember faces vary at different ages.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Human Beings Never Forget a Face
B.Face Recognition Benefits Humans
C.The Key to Remembering More Faces
D.The Brain Remembers Thousands of Faces
二、七選五
The world’s African elephants are in serious danger.1.And if we do nothing to put an end to the illegal ivory trade, elephants will be extinct from the wild within the next 20 years.
Many believe that an illegal hunter could get ivory without killing the elephant-this is not true.2.And the rest lies beneath the surface like an iceberg（冰山）in water.The tusk is not just bone but rather it is alive, filled with nerves and blood vessels（血管）and when broken off, the tusks would likely become infected and lead to a slow and? painful death.
However, there is a new form of hope rising from nature itself.African elephants are being born without the tusks that illegal hunters have targeted for decades.But why is the largest land mammal on earth now being born tuskless?3.
Is such change beneficial to elephants’ survival in the long term? As we know, elephant tusks ate not just glorious-looking.4.Therefore scientists are just benspecies.to track the newly tuskless among them, to see how this unfortunate adaptation affects the species.
Ivory hunters are not the only danger faced by elephants today.And more support is needed than ever to create a safe world where elephants can live together with humans happily, tusks and all.5..
A.Action should be taken to protect animals in the world.
B.They also have important uses such as self- defense and digging.
C.Only two-thirds of an elephant’s tusks（象牙）stick out of their mouth.
D.It is estimated that one is killed every 15 minutes for their ivory tusks.
E.That’s because elephants without tusks have a better chance of surviving.
F.After centuries of being hunted by humans, many African elephants are tuskless.
G.And it’s in our power to make this happen by cutting demand and raising awareness.
