In 1880, the traveller and journalist Lafcadio Hearn was living in New Orleans and writing for a couple of local papers, Daily City Item and Times-Democrat. Hearn sensed that New Orleans exists in a state of insidious disintegration (蜕变) — “crumbling into ashes” — thanks to its dangerous geography and its “frauds and maladministrations.” And yet, Hearn wrote

to a friend, “It is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio.” New Orleanians have

always resembled New Yorkers; they tend to share the sense that to live anywhere else would lead inevitably to a stupid and pitiable existence beyond the bounds of understanding.

In part, the spirit of New Orleans is rooted in the city?s below-sea-level unsteadiness, the condition of looking out — and even up — at the water all around you, the knowledge that water saturates (浸透) the ground you stand on. Katrina, the fierce hurricane that destroyed the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, tested the self-possession of every citizen who survived it. More than eighteen hundred people did not survive it, and hundreds of thousands lost their homes. The storm and the terrible flooding that followed — a natural disaster worsened by a range of man-made disasters — revealed much that had been fragile, or rotten, in Hearn?s time and grew worse with every decade: shabby civil engineering; corrupt and inefficient government institutions; and it turned out that an Administration in Washington witnessed for days a city drowning — a largely black city drowning — and reacted with annoying indifference. And yet, in the face of abandonment — in hospitals, on rooftops, on highway overpasses — the residents of New Orleans behaved with resilience (不折不挠). Rebecca Solnit, an acute observer of Katrina and its aftermath, has written, “The belief that a Hobbesian war of all-against-all had broken loose justified treating the place as a crime zone or even an unfriendly country rather than a place in which grandmothers and children were trapped in frightful conditions, desperately in need of food, water, shelter and medical attention.”

Alec Soth, a photographer who lives in Minneapolis and travels the Midwest and the South with the energy of a latter-day Walker Evans, did not join the artists who came to New Orleans a decade ago to capture what he calls the “eye candy of rot and ruin.” Instead, he waited, preferring to capture the city of water ten years later, a city in a state of both persistent suffering and persistent renewal. Soth shows us the upsetting image of a freestanding column — all that is left of a house in the hard-hit Lower Ninth Ward — but he moves toward a vision of promise, a lonely figure at his leisure, staring into the waters of today?s New Orleans.

58. New Orleanians are similar to New Yorkers in that ______. A. they refuse to leave their homeland B. they exist in insidious disintegration C. they possess dangerous geography D. they have a sense of boring existence 59. What can we know from the hurricane Katrina and its damaging consequences? A. A range of man-made disasters led to the fierce hurricane. B. The hurricane happened following a terrible flooding.

C. The American government failed to provide help and support. D. The residents of New Orleans have a deep hatred for governors.

60. Why did Alec Soth refuse to join other artists to take photos of New Orleans a decade ago? A. He also treated New Orleans as a crime zone.

B. He had high expectations of the future of New Orleans. C. He couldn?t put up with the suffering the hurricane caused.

D. He was traveling the Midwest and the South with Walker Evans.

A little social support from your best buds goes a long way, whether you?re a human or a chimpanzee (黑猩猩). A new study that followed a chimpanzee community in the forests of Uganda has found that quality time with close companions significantly decreased stress hormone levels in the primates — whether they were resting, grooming or facing off against rival groups.

The findings, described this week in the journal Nature Communications, shed light on the physiological effects of close companionship in chimpanzees — and could have implications for human health too.

Researchers have long known that stress can worsen health and raise the risk of early death in humans as well as other social mammals.

“It can have effects on immune function, cardio function, fertility, cognition, and even your mood,” said study coauthor Kevin Langergraber, a primatologist at Arizona State University.

Maintaining close social bonds can help these animals (humans included) reduce some of that stress, potentially minimizing some health risks. But scientists have yet to pin down the exact physiological mechanisms at work.

“Social bonds make you survive and produce better — but how do they do that?” Langergraber said.

To find out, the international team of researchers studied members of the Sonso chimpanzee community in Uganda?s Budongo Forest, a group consisting of 15 males, 35 females and 28 juveniles and infants during the study period from February 2008 to July 2010.

Like humans, chimpanzees tend to have besties — bond partners with whom they appear to feel close. The researchers wanted to see whether interactions with these bond partners led to lower stress levels during particularly stressful situations, such as when fighting rival groups, or whether time spent with friends helped lower stress levels more generally, throughout the day.

The scientists observed the chimps perform three types of activities: resting, grooming or quarrelling with other groups of chimps. The researchers kept track of whether the chimps were doing any of these three things with their bond partners or with other chimps in their group.

A team of up to six observers watched the chimps and followed them around to collect urine (尿液) samples. The samples, collected from nine adult male and eight adult female chimps, were tested to see how much of the stress hormone cortisol they contained.

The scientists found that chimpanzees? levels of urinary cortisol were 23% lower, on average, during the activities when they were with their bond partner. This was especially true for stressful activities, such as the intergroup rivalries, where any chimp on the front line might face physical harm or even death.

The findings in chimpanzees, some of our closest living relatives, could shed light on the role such close social relationships play in human health too, he said. Such friendships may be just as important during good times as bad — though more research needs to be done before any conclusions can be drawn.

“This has interest for a lot of people in a medical context as well,” Langergraber said. 61. The scientists carried out a research into chimpanzee community in Uganda ______. A. to seek evidence of benefits of social bonds from physiological angle B. to uncover whether social bonds make humans survive C. to study how chimps perform three types of activities

D. to train chimps to maintain close social bonds with each other 62. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 10 refer to? A. Observers. B. Chimpanzees. C. Urine samples. D. Bond partners.

63. The chimps? levels of urinary cortisol decrease most when ______. A. they are with other chimps in their group B. they face the intergroup rivalries with friends C. they perform three different types of activities D. they spend time with friends throughout the day 64. What?s the author?s purpose in writing the passage? A. To point out stress is harmful to all social mammals. B. To illustrate how chimps control their stress level.

C. To urge scientists to do more research into chimpanzees. D. To inform us friendships benefit both chimps and humans.

Dad and I loved baseball and hated sleep. One midsummer dawn when I was nine, we drove to the local park with our baseballs, gloves, and Yankees caps.

“If you thought night baseball was a thrill, just wait,” Dad told me. “Morning air carries the ball like you?ve never seen.”

He was right. Our fastballs charged faster and landed more lightly. The echoes of our catches popped as the sun rose over the dew-sprinkled fields.

The park was all ours for about two hours. Then a young mother pushed her stroller toward us. When she neared, Dad politely leaned over the stroller, waved, and gave the baby his best smile.

The mother stared at him for a second, and then rushed away.

Dad covered his mouth with his hand and walked to the car. “Let?s go, bud,” he said. “I?m not feeling well.”
