The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles （柴油机） by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.

Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes, you feel as if you ' re on top of the world. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem （自尊） is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.
“ Forgetabout self-esteem, ”says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist （心理学家） at the University of Michigan, US. “It 's not the important thing. ”
Feeling good
Crocker 's advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.
Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent and wicked people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: “ There 's no evidence that kids with high s-e lsfteem do better in school. ”
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos （自我） that can make them less likeable to their peers（同龄人）,said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.
People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. 药方“） iTshtoe rbeecsotgthneizreapy （
your faults, ” Vohs says. “It 's OK to say, ‘I'm not so good at that, ' and then move on.

A. is not important at all
B. has taken on a different meaning
C. may not be the key to success
D. does not help you do better at school
6. One of the conclusions of the new research is that ______ .

B. people with high esteem usually do not seek other s help '

The physicians in a hospital form the center of medical staff. But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical employees. From the viewpoint of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital.
A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. however, each must be equally dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.

A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital.
Serving as a nurse can be a very rewarding job. But it is not an easy one. Not every person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a profession.

A “ losttribe ”that reached America from Australia may have been the first Native Americans, according to a new theory.
If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it.
On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals （土著人） in boats.
To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said .
Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people of the South Pacific Region.
The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology （人类学） in Mexico City, have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand years before the arrival of people from the North. “ Wethink there were several migration waves into the Americas at different times by different huma n groups, ” Dr. Gonzales said. “The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains a most contentious topic in human evolution. ”
But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists, so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they were consistent（—致）with an Australian origin.
13. It is generally considered that the first Native Americans came from ______ .
A. North Asia
B. Australia
C. South Pacific
D. South Asia
14. The skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico have ______ .
A. the broad skull shape
B. the narrow skull shape
C. different features of Aboriginal Australians
D. the same features of Native Americans
15. The underlined “ contentious ” is similar in meaning to “ _______________________ ”.
A. likely to cause great interest
B. difficult to solve
C. well-known to all
D. likely to cause argument
16. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. Research on skulls can draw an exact conclusion.
B. DNA tests have proved the fact that the first Native Americans came from Australian.
C. Scientists are still not sure about the origin of the Native Americans.
D. People began to enter America across the Bering Strait about 12,700 years ago.

But it has not been proven, said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.

Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.
“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters, Clive ”Waslkaeidr, who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉动物).

Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can?t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.” Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don?t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!” In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging(摇摆) from one high steel pole to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying. That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we?ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars. “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow （肘）. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档）I reached. I?ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open. One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.” For a long time, I didn?t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you?ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears. 21. Which can be used to describe Mom?s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes? ______ A. Cruel. B.
