If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?   51  It never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(創(chuàng)造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?” “Why can’t I think?”

  52   Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.

Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you.   53   Now this seed is unknowingly(未發(fā)覺(jué)地) used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity.   54   Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading.   55   Go and get a book!

A. Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.

B. Reading can help you make more friends, too.

C. Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.

D. Now what are you waiting for?

E. Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.

F. Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

G. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as seed.

Did you know that Christmas shopping is even worse for our health than we previously thought? According to an internet survey, the incidence of hypertension during the festive shopping season is on the up.

Christmas shopping increased blood pressure to dangerous levels in 50 percent of shoppers. This can lead to hypertension. Heart rates increased by an average of 10 per cent during Christmas shopping. In the study of 16 men and 16 women, men had the worst beating in heart rate during a 90-minute shopping. Samuel Thompson, 30, said: “I had to buy five items and had an hour and a half to buy them.” “Normally, I know exactly what I want to get and do it as quickly as possible. But having to make on-spot decisions, like we did in the test, makes it more stressful.” “Lack of time and the crowds were the biggest pressure points. I got frustrated by other people slowing me down by stopping to chat in the street. And I could feel myself sweating in queues. Everything took longer than planned.”

Dr Turner drew the conclusion: “Samuel’s heart rate was good at the start but it had almost doubled by the end. Combined with his systolic blood pressure（舒張血壓）up by nearly 15 percent, it could put him in line for stroke(中風(fēng)). Systolic blood pressure relates to the pumping out of blood by the heart.”

Men suffer twice as much as women and are therefore in greater danger of dying on the High Street in the coming weeks.

Remember, a husband is for life and not just for Christmas.

48. The word “hypertension” in the passage most probably refers to      .

49. The author develops the second paragraph mainly in order of        .
A. cause and effect         B. space         C. time           D. topic and example

50. Which statement is TRUE according to Dr Turner?
A. Samuel’s heart rate was good all the time.
B. Walking on the street will put Samuel in danger.
C. Samuel is likely to have stroke when shopping for Christmas.
D. Samuel suffers as much as his wife when shopping.

 The audience starts to scream and young people all over Britain turn on their TVs. Yes, it’s Top of the Pops!

Top of the Pops is an amazing 34 years old. Pop stars from all over the world appear on this successful TV programme. After 1,800 shows, it’s still the most popular pop music show in Britain. So what’s the secret?

“We get lots of bands to perform live in the studio,” says producer Chris Cowey. “That just doesn’t happen on other show.”

Chris starts planning the programme over a week before it goes out. His first job is to decide which bands to have on the show. When the chart of the top twenty songs is produced on Sunday, Chris can start to book the bands.

Monday starts with Chris meeting his sound, lighting and camera workers. They listen to each song and plan the show.

Tuesday is paperwork day. There are bookings to make sure of letters to answer and lots of phone calls to make. The show is on Thursday. Bands arrive at the studio from 10 o’clock in the morning and start practising. Tonight’s presenter, Jo Whiley, practices too.

First the bands go to make-up. Judy and Issy are the make-up artists. “We see the stars with no make-up on, looking terrible,” says Issy. Then the bands go to the costume department where Marianne dresses the stars.
