Once upon a time, there was a king who had a wise advisor. The advisor followed the king everywhere and his favorite piece of advice to the king was “Everything happens for the good.” One day the king went hunting and had a small accident. His foot was injured. Fortunately he was not badly injured but as always he was forced to ask his advisor what he thought about the accident, to which the advisor replied，“Everything happens for the good.”
This time the king was really angry and put his advisor in prison. The king then asked his advisor，“Now, what do you think？” The advisor again answered，“Everything happens for the good.” About a week later the king went on another hunting trip. It turned out that the king was caught by some cannibals (食人者) and taken to their camp where he would be prepared to be their evening meal. Before putting him into the cooking pot, he was examined and the cannibals realized that the king's foot was injured. They decided to throw him back into the forests. It is the tradition for the cannibals not to eat anything that was in any way injured.

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 scars(伤口). Often they relive(再体验)these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will 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(抹去), the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing(释放)chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
＂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 Medical School. ＂This could reduce lot of that suffering.＂

They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. ＂ All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,＂ said Rebecca Dresser, a medical expert.
32．The passage is mainly about __________.
A. a new medical invention B. a way of erasing painful memories
C. an introduction to the function of a new pill D. an argument about the research on the pill 33．The drug tested on people can __________.
A. cause the brain to fix memories B. stop people remembering bad experiences C. prevent body producing certain chemicals D. erase the emotional effects of memories 34．We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. not all of the people support the research B. taking the pill will do harm to people’s health
C. the pill has probably been produced in America D. the pill will put an end to people’s bad experiences
35．Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser probably agree with?
A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives. B. People want to get rid of bad memories. C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others. D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Green: More than just a color
