29、l. Professor Katariina Salmela-Aro, who led the study, said, “ Courage means a young person is really interested in his or her studies and does not give up easily.

34、at they are like family to you? It turns out that this isnt just an expression. A study by Yale University has found that you and your friends have more genes （基因）in common than strangers do. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and stranger
35、s. They found that friends have 1% of genes that match. “1% of genes may not sound like much to the layperson （外行）, but to geneticists （遗传学 家）it is a larger number, “ Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your f
36、ourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution（进化）that brings you together. People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes, r
37、esearchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility （易感性） to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to stay alive. Researchers also found that among all th
38、e genes studied, those producing a change in sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes （咖啡馆） more often and as
39、 a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the u friendship score“. It can help tell how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. So, here is a question for you: woul

44、，根据短文内容回答问题。 （共 10 分,每小题 2 分） Psychologists（心理学家）are interested in the reasons why some 汽 people like taking part in risky sports. When they studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they found that the parachutists9 bodies produced large amounts of two hormones （激 素） ，
45、adrenaline （肾 上 腺素）and noradrenaline （去甲肾上腺素） ，just before they made their jump. These parachute hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart beat and provides more sugar for the muscles （肌肉） ，while noradrenaline makes us react （反应） more quickly. However, norad
46、renaline also supplies energy to a part of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure. A feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone makes certain people want to take part in dangerous sports. Another possible reason is the level of excitement in part of the brain. According to some psychologists,
47、 the brain tries to manage a certain level of excitement. They believe that people who have a low level of excitement look for new experiences in order to fire themselves with excitement, but people who usually have a high level of excitement try to avoid risks in order not to become overexcited. If
48、 the psychologists are right, people with a low excitement level are the ones who enjoy taking part in dangerous sports and activities. It is thought that people with low levels of excitement have a slower-reacting nervous system than people with higher levels. So it may be possible to find out your
49、 level of excitement by testing your 9 nervous system. A quick way of doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue （舌头）.If you produce a lot of saliva （唾液），your nervous system has been affected （影响）by the lemon and so you probably have a high level of excitement ； if you produce little saliva, you probably have a low excitement level. If you have a low level, you might enjoy taking part in risky sports. However, this does not mean that you have to try parachuting J 34. Did the parachut
