Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the          is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a developed country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making          for the homeless of Berlin, the capital of Germany. They first          doing that during a long hot summer when most Germans were         on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made  sandwiches,        a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t          . “What these people also need is warmth and         ,” says Rita. The Mullers were always willing to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita         there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always         to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon          all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to         donations. Today, over thirty companies  regularly donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to         them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer  even gives away new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no payment for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t       money for helping their children. The love we get on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita says she often gets       , she says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a         in the world.

A mother in Australia was told by a doctor that her new born son was dead but she helped to bring him back to life by holding the baby against her body. She used a method known as a kangaroo care. The child, named Jamie ,was born after only 27 weeks with his twin sister, Emily, in a hospital in Sydney. Her birth went well ,but his was a different story. The doctor struggled for 20 minutes to save Jamie before announcing him dead.
“His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body.” Kate Ogg said ,“I took off my coat and put him on my chest with his head over my arm.” She and her husband, David ,said to the child as she continued to hold him for nearly 2 hours. During that time, the two-pound baby showed the sign of life. She said , “I told my mum ,who was there, that he was still alive. Then he held out his hand and grabbed my finger. ”Their tiny baby grew stronger and stronger in his mother’s arms, and their final goodbye turned into a hello.
The doctor at first ignored the baby’s movements, but when he put the stethoscope（听诊器）to his chest, his mouth was wide open and he said ,“It’s my fault, It’s a miracle( 奇迹).
“The kangaroo care helps the baby keep body warmth” Dr Pinchi Srinivasan said, “It also regulates(调节) heartbeat and breathing rates and is believed to help weight gain and improve  sleeping habits. Fathers can also use kangaroo care. The key to the method is skin-to-skin contact.”
The practice began in less developed nations. It has become a recognized pracitce in helping premature babies. The techniques is good for babies, and is used in many baby care centers.

When the baby first showed sign of life, the doctor________.

From what Dr Pinchi Srinivasan said, we learn the baby came back to life mainly because of________.

According to the paassage, premature babies refer to babies that are born______.

What the main idea of the passage?

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.
Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩) and pumping（向---送出） blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.
Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: "Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart."
The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, "The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. So our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see - and guide whether we see fear."
To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear. "We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear," Dr Garfinkel said.
"We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder."
What is the finding of the study?

When are people more likely to feel a sense of fear ?

The study was carried out by analyzing （分析）_______.

Which of the following is closest in meaning to "mechanism" in Paragraph 6?

This study may be useful to _______.

Your feet are an important part of you. Without them, you couldn’t stand up, walk around or run a race. In fact, your feet work so      for you that sometimes they get sweaty(出汗的)-and smelly.
Germs are the reason. They live on your feet and love dark, wet         like the insides of the sweaty shoes. They eat        skin cells and oils from your feet, and get rid of waste . So what can you do? It’s        to stop the smell completely, but if you cut down on sweat, you will cut down on the bad smell. Here are some things to try.
1.Bathe your feet every day. Dipping(浸泡) your feet into a tub of water is better than just     the shower water run past them.
2.Wear cotton socks ,because they take in sweat better. Put on a fresh pair        they get  wet.
3.Never wear shoes made of plastic. Plastic and other artificial(人造的)materials don’t let your feet breathe. Don’t wear the same shoes every day, because       will allow germs to build up.             Let your shoes dry out for a few days before       them again. Putting        out in the sun may also help kill the germs.
Remember : As long as you keep your feet       and dry, those germs will have to find lunch somewhere else.
