The Ivy League is a name for eight schools in the northeastern America. All but one were established many years ago, when England had colonies in this area. The oldest schools are Harvard Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Princeton, Brown and University of Penn. The newest is Cornell founded in 1865.
Originally ,the term Ivy League was used to describe a sports grouping of the eight schools . And many language experts believe that the term first appeared in the media. In the 1930s a ports reporter called the schools in the grouping, the 'Ivy League．s' The group also had an unofficial name -- 'The Ancient Eight．' Now both names are used．
Why the reporter used the term is not completely clear．Some people say the term is linked to the ivy plant．And ivy does cover some of the grounds and buildings at the schools．Other people say the term dates back to when only four of the schools were part of the sports group．Because in Roman numerals, the number “4”was written in letters “I” and 'V．' However, most historians say that explanation is incorrect．
The term Ivy League is sometimes said in a disapproving way．Some people think the eight schools and their students value themselves too highly．Admission to the schools is very competitive．Only as little as 7% of students who seek admission are accepted.
The educational offerings of Ivy League schools are considered among the best and most demanding in the world．On the one hand ,all the eight schools are also private and extremely costly．A four year degree from Harvard, for example, can cost more than$2000,000 On the other hand, however, admission equality opens its door for all top students around the world.

British scientists say they have developed a new material called Armourgel that could help protect older adults from breaking bones when they fall. Scientists say it is soft enough to be put in normal everyday clothing.
As people get older, many of them develop the disease osteoporosis（骨质疏松症）．It makes their bones so weak that even a minor fall can cause a bone to break．In some cases, older adults can die from breaking bones or from problems resulting from them．
Armourgel is a combination of two new man-made materials．These materials quickly take in or absorb energy when they hit something, this protects whatever is behind the material．
'It"s soft and flowable so it moves with the musculature of the body but when you impact it it momentarily goes rigid,'（僵硬的）said Daniel Plant, the leading researcher,and his team have joined the material with a substance whose cells collapse when they are hit．
Daniel Plant says, it is the combination of these materials that makes Armourgel special．The new product is said to be much thinner than other protective materials currently being sold．
However, “Bone protectors, no matter how good, are not the best solution．'The key is to prevent the bones from losing their mineral content, staying healthy．And then even if you fall, you won"t break your bone,' said Gambert．
47．The passage mainly talks about .
A．some British scientists B．a medical experiment
C．a new bone protector D．ways to protect the old
48．What makes Armourgel different from other protective materials?
A．The light weight of the materials.
B．The combination of some materials.
C．The adoption of advanced technology.
D．The convenience for the old adults to use it.
49．What does doctor Gambert talk about in the last paragraph?
A．How to prevent the old from falling down.
B．How to stay healthy when we are getting old.
C．The key point to prevent bones from breaking.
D．The difference of a newspaper can we read the passage?
50．In which section of a newspaper can we read the passage?
A．Sports. B．Health. C．People. D．Education.

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences . Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scares. Usually , these experiences will appear in people’s nightmares.
Now American researchers are close to developing a pill, which help people forget bad memories．The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience．They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories．
Last month experts tested a drug on people in the US and France．The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain．But so far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced．
The research has caused a great deal of argument．Some people think it is a bad idea, while others support it．
Supporters say, “Some memories can ruin people’s lives．They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare．They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor at Harvard. “After taking the pills, they may relieve a lot of that suffering..”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is dangerous because memories give us our identity．“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that are horrible. At the same time, however, these bad events make us who we are. We are not sure whether we like to wipe those memories out ,” they said, “ and those memories also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
