Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; (2) citrus （柑橘）fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables ; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal (谷物), rice is also in this kind of foods; (7) butter or something like butter. 
People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways.  People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.
There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first thing is to find some ways to feed the world’s population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kind of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.

A lot of grown-ups worry that spending too much time playing video games isn’t good for a kid’s health. Now some doctors have noticed that kids who bring their hand-held game players to the hospital seem less worried about being there. These patients also seem to experience less pain when they are concentrating on a superhero adventure or a car race. At the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Maryland, young patients are finding hospital visits easier to deal with, thanks to a test program called the Hospital-based On-line Pediatric Environment (HOPE). Patients in HOPE have a life-threatening condition where their kidneys(腎臟)no longer filter(過(guò)濾)wastes from their blood. To get their blood cleaned, these kids must be hooked up to dialysis(透析) machines at the hospital three times a week, for at least three hours each time. HOPE allows kids to play online sports, racing, and adventure games with each other. Eventually they will be able to connect with kids in other hospitals who are suffering from the same problem. "We want to use the power of the Internet to bring together kids who feel that they are separated by their illness, and let them know that they are not alone," said Arun Mathews, the doctor who heads the program. He loves video games himself and got the idea to connect kids all over the country. Many researchers elsewhere are testing video game programs that might help young patients. For example, nine-year-old Ben Duskin of San Francisco, who was struggling with cancer helped to design a video game where players get rid of cancer cells. That’s all great news, because doctors already know that reducing pain and worry helps patients heal faster.
小題1:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Playing video games too much is bad for kids’health.
B．Playing video games seems to be beneficial to young patients’ recovery.
C．Doctors find that reducing pain helps patients recover faster.
D．Doctors invent a game to help kids in hospitals.
小題2:How long will it take a patient to get his blood cleaned in a week?
A．About 3 hours.B．About 6 hours.C．About 9 hours.D．About 21 hours.
小題3:According to Arun Mathews, the main purpose of HOPE is to _________.
A．encourage kids to play online games
B．teach kids how to design video games
C．help kids who are suffering from illness connect with each other
D．make parents worry less about their kids playing video games too much
小題4:Which of the following plays the most important role in the HOPE project?
A．Music.B．The Internet.C．Novels.D．Films.
小題5:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Nine-year-old Ben Duskin, who has a cancer, is very brave and clever.
B．Many parents want their children to play video games because it’s good for their health.
C．Doctors are not sure whether reducing pain and worry can help the patients recover faster.
D．HOPE allows kids to play online games only with the kids in the same hospital.

In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments (裝飾) and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.
　The furniture may often be "antique", and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.
　The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town's main trade.
　There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called "junk shops", where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits (利潤(rùn)) from these shops go to charity(慈善事業(yè)). Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on to another country or to death.
　Although the British do not worship(崇拜) their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are rebuilt until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.
57．Books found in second-hand book shops may_________.
　　A．be copies of the earliest printings    B．be on sale for the first time
C．never be worth very much          D．never be rare
58．Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because_________.
　　A．they are too expensive for average buyers
　　B．they remind you of the original owners
　　C．they are now forgotten
　　D．they are sold for charity
59．The average British person ___________.
　　A．does not respect old things because they are not fashionable
B．likes to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do so
C．likes to buy new things because they are fashionable
　　D．does not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable

Hey, Mr．a(chǎn)nd Ms．Unluckiness and Unhappiness! Terrorism, the war, the economic crisis and unemployment are at your door．Are you afraid of them? Well, don’t be! America is a happy land．The Smiley Face icon proves this in towns all over the country．
The tallest structure—the steel water tower—is often painted bright yellow, in a circle containing a pair of black dots for eyes and an upturned（朝上的）line for a mouth: the unforgettable smile．Most towns decorated their spheroid (or cylindrical) water storage tanks in the 1970s, when Smiley was still conceptually fresh．As a "safe" counterculture symbol, with absolutely no bite, the Smile Face water tower was a low cost way to radiate sunny greetings to travelers and locals．Calumet City, Illinois claims to have been the first, when 8-year old resident Kim Fornero sent a letter to the city council in late 1972 suggesting a smile face would be more fun to look at than a plain old water tower．
In the 1980s, with the paint on the water tower fading, residents of Calumet City decided to make the face their own．They repainted the tower, and a Happy Cook Restaurant and Smiley Face Inn appeared on the highway outside the town, ready to make you smile! Local businessmen printed the Smiley icon on their business cards, and displayed Smiley Face souvenirs in shop windows．
By the late 1990s, the survival of the Smiley Face water tower was assured．It didn’t matter why the face had been painted there—it was now a part of history．In May 2009, the town again celebrated its Smiley Face water tower as a symbol of hope for a better tomorrow．

Celebrity endorsements
Despite the fact that companies believe celebrities had a lot of pull with regard to the buying trends of consumers,researches have discovered that this does not seem to be the case．British and Swiss researchers conducted a study showing that advertisements made by celebrities like David Beckham and Scarlett Johansson are not as effective as those by ordinary people．
In a sample of 298 students,researchers presented a magazine advertisement for a digital camera that was endorsed by a fictional student claiming the camera was“hot”and his “preferred choice”．The same advertisement was shown to other students，but with a difference：The camera was endorsed by a famous person in Germany．
While the students said that both advertisements were beneficial,the one made by the student topped the celebrity one if students aimed to impress others with their purchases.More than half of the students，who admitted purchasing products that would impress others，said they were influenced by the student’s advertisement．Only 20％ said the celebrity one would affect their buying decision．
Professor Brett Martin，of the University of Bath’s School of Management，explained that the findings could be used not only in Germany,but in other countries as well．“Our research questions whether celebrities are the best ways to sell products，”said Prof Martin．“Celebrities can be effective but we found that many people were more convinced by an endorsement from a fictional fellow students．This is because many people feel a need to keep up with the Jones when they buy．”
46．Some companies think the celebrities endorsement ____________．
A．is popular with the consumers
B．can pull all the consumers into the shops
C．can affect the consumers’ purchasing
D．is as effective as an endorsement from common people

Why is there no risk to the customer when a bank prints the customer’s name to his cheques?
When anyone opens a current account at a bank, he is lending the bank money, repayment of which he may demand at any time, either in cash or by drawing a check in favor of another person. Primarily, the bank-customer’s account is in credit or overdrawn. But, in addition to that basically simple concept, the bank and its customer owe a large number of obligations(義務(wù)) to one another. Many of these obligations can give rise to problems but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot complain that the law is loaded against him.
The bank must obey its customer’s instructions, and not those of anyone else. When, for example, a customer first opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit（把......記入借方） his account only in respect of checks drawn by himself. He gives the bank specimens(標(biāo)本) of his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right to pay out a customer’s money on a check on which its customer’s signature has been forged(偽造). It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very skillful one: the bank must recognize its customer’s signature. For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the practice, adopted by banks, of printing the customer’s name on his checks. If this helps forgery, it is the bank which will lose, not the customer.
1. When you have a bank account, you ___
A.must always be in credit
B.can’t draw any money if you’re overdrawn
C.can draw money without notice
D.can’t pay money to anyone else
2. One of the obligations a bank has to a customer_____
A.is that it can’t take instructions from other people
B.is that it can avoid complications and problems
C.it must pay money to the customer even if he is seriously overdrawn
D.it must print the customer’s signature
3. The underlined part “the law is loaded against him” in the second paragraph is most likely to mean_____
A.the law is not of his interest
B.the law is unfavorable to him
C.the law is not in favor of him
D.the law is not in his honor
4. If someone forged your signature and drew money from your account___
A.the bank would always pay money to the forger
B.the bank wouldn’t lose any money
C.you wouldn’t lose any money
D.you wouldn’t lose your money

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “l(fā)ow” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
60. The writer of the passage thinks that _______.
A. education can settle most of the world’s problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won’t help to solve problems
D. all the social problems can’t be solved by education
61. The writer wants to prove that _______.
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. work with hands is the most important
62. The purpose of education is _______.
A. to choose officials for the country
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world
