根据短文内容回答下列问题

    Every day on Amelia's way to work she had to pass a slum(贫民窟) .Though she was a social worker, she had never paid much attention to it.

    This changed when she met a boy named Jack. Jack knew that she was the head of social services, and was sure she could help. He reached out his hand to touch her, and said, "Can you help me? I'm looking hard for my dad."

    His hands were so cold that Amelia could not help holding them. She said, "What's up? ""My mum is sick and too weak to get up. Her birthday is coming. I know my father's coming back would be the best present. We really love him, and need him." "So what's his name? What does he do?" Amelia asked. He said, "I've no idea. My mum said he had left us before I was two years old." Amelia was deeply moved and said, "Take me to your home, son."

    He led her to a small house. Looking around, there was nothing in it except for a small bed. A woman was sitting on it and as soon as Amelia saw her, she knew her life was near its end. She said to Amelia, "Please find a home for my son. Please don't leave him alone in the world. "With tears running from her eyes, Amelia took her hand and said," I will take care of him and love him as my own son." In fact, since her husband and she had no children, they had been wanting a child for a long time.

    Ever since Amelia took Jack into her home, life is full of joy and laughter. She got the best present in return for her kindness.

阅读下列短文, 根据短文中的信息完成文后表格, 每空一词。

WARNING(警告): Holding a cell phone against your ear or putting it in your pocket may be bad for your health. This sentence is a warning that you'd better not put it close to you when a new phone is bought. Apple company, for example, doesn't want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry's producer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.

      If cell phone use can cause health problems, the result will be very serious. Americans spend 2.26 trillion minutes chatting on cell phones every year, which brings $109 billion for the wireless businessmen.

      Devra Davis, an epidemiologist(皮肤病专家)who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation(辐射)"Disconnect." Davis studies how often brain cancer happens during different age groups. As a result of mobile phone radiation, she finds that a big increase(增长)in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.

      Children are more easily hurt by radiation than grown-ups, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. But no studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children, she says.

      Henry Lai, a research professor, began lab radiation studies in 1980 and found that mice exposed to(暴露在) radiofrequency(电波频率)radiation had destroyed DNA in their brains.

      Ms. Davis recommends using wired earphones(有线耳机)or the phone's speaker. Children should send text messages rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from their bodies.

下面文章中有五处(第31-35题)需要添加小标题,从以下选项A~F中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。
A. The engine in your body.
B. The location, size and heartbeat of a heart.
C. What happens when the heart beats?
D. How does your heart work?
E. How do we know about the heart?
F. What can a doctor tell by feeling your pulse?
       {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Your heart is located in your chest, a little to your left. This heart of yours, which is about the size of your two fists held together, beats about 90 times a minute. A grown person's heart beats about 60 to 80 times a minute. The heartbeat is not just the same in all persons, and it is not the same in any one person at all times.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
When your heart beats, it is pumping blood to all parts of your body. If you could examine your heart closely, you would see that it is really two pumps placed side by side, and working at the same time. Each pump has two parts, the upper part called the auricle (心房), and the lower part called the ventricle (心室). The auricles receive the blood as it comes into them after it has been pumped through the body. The ventricles pump the blood out. The right one pumps the blood to the lungs and the left one pumps the blood to all other parts of the body. At the top and bottom openings of each ventricle are valves (阀门) which make the blood go in only one direction.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
 Your heart is sometimes called the engine or the motor in your body and sometimes called the pump. It works away, both day and night. First it pumps out some blood, rests for a few seconds, and then it pumps some more. In a normal day, the heart pumps about 2,500 gallons of blood from the auricles and ventricles.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
By using a stethoscope to listen to the heart, the doctor can tell whether your heart is beating evenly and whether the valves are closing tightly. The stethoscope makes these sounds so clear that the doctor can hear them easily. The stethoscope has an earpiece that he places on your chest and tubes that he places in his ear. The earpiece carries the sound or your heart's beating along the tubes to the doctor's ears, and it makes the sound seem much louder than it really is. The doctor could listen to your heartbeat by pulling his ear against your chest.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
An easy experiment can help you understand what happens when the heart beats. You can do this experiment with a hollow rubber ball. Make a small hole in it, and fill the ball with water through the hole. When you squeeze the ball, you will notice how the water comes out in a spurt each time you squeeze. After each spurt the ball comes back to its round shape again. Something like this happens when your heart beats. The muscles(肌肉) in your heart grow smaller, or contract, and squeeze the blood out of the heart. Each time this happens, we say your heart is beating. Perhaps you have noticed that the doctor places his finger on the pulse in your wrist when you are ill. By doing this he can tell how fast your heart is beating.
