       The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs.    71   Some people are compulsive（難以自制的）shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games．

       72   Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day，but it’s more

than a common hobby for some of them．They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who

simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it．They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need．Even though they don’t have enough money，they buy everything they want．

       The question is，why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a specific answer．Some people go shopping when they are sad，worried，upset or lonely and they want to feel better．They use this activity as a way to forget their problems．Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something．  73   

       Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction，but it can bring out problems．Some of them can be psychological．If this is the case，people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit．However，the process，like for most addictions，is long，and they suffer a lot．  74   They just think about satisfying their feelings，so they spend money they don’t have.    75 

       A．Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs，it is difficult to get rid of．

       B．Over the years，shopping has become a very common activity．

       C．They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty．

       D．However in modern—day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions．

       E．People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves．

       F．They get deep in debt，and they can even go bankrupt（破產(chǎn)）and get sent to prison．

       G．It can also cause financial problems．

       If you are afraid of the dark，it’s not a big deal．It’s perfectly normal to feel afraid After all，animals do too. “Fear matters，”says Karen Warkentin，an ecologist．“It’s a good thing，” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”

       Like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways．Afrightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell．A small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approaches．

       Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect．The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red—eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.

       In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps（果凍一樣的塊狀物）of their eggs to the undersides of leaves．The leaves hang on branches that dangle（懸掛）over ponds．After they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles（蝌蚪）then fall into the water，where they eventually grow intoadult frogs.

       Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching．If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.

       If hatching early helps protect red—eyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs don’t always hatch sooner．It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger．Once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too．Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos（胚胎）to grow big and strong．This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water．

68．It can be inferred from the passage that fears       .

       A．help animals grow bigger and stronger

       B．a(chǎn)re less common among young animals

       C．help animals move a lot to fit the environment

       D．a(chǎn)re more or less important in order for animals to survive

69．We are told in the passage that tree frogs        .

       A．face danger both inside their eggs and in the water

       B．will grow fast if they fall into the water later

       C．a(chǎn)re surprisingly clever when inside their eggs

       D．stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened

70．What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?

       A．Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule．

       B．How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them．

       C．Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way．

       D．How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.

　　　 If you’re a male and you’re reading this, congratulations! You’re a survivor. According to statistics，you’re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman，and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78 years for men in Australia，you’ll die on average five years before a woman.

　　　 There're many reasons for this--typically，men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

　　　 “Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should，” says Dr. Gullotta.“This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike. According to a recent survey, 95％of women aged between 15 and early 49s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70％of men in the same age group.

　　　 “A lot of men think they’re unbeatable，”Gullotta says．“They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, Geez, if it could happen to him …”

　　　 Then there’s the ostrich（鴕鳥(niǎo)）approach．“Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.

　　　 “Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.

“Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases．Besides, the final cost is far greater，it’s called premature death.”

　　　 A．They can live longer than they expected．

　　　 B．They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.

　　　 C．They have lived long enough to read this article.

　　　 D．They are more likely to survive serious diseases now．

65．Which of the author’s statements is the most important reason that men die five years earlier on average than women according to the passage?

　　　 A．Men drink and smoke much more than women.

　　　 B．Men don’t seek medical care as often as women.

　　　 C．Men are more likely to suffer from deadly diseases.

　　　 D．Men aren’t as cautious as women in face of danger.

66．Which of the following best completes the underlined sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him…” （in Para 4） ?

　　　 A．it could happen to me，too.

　　　 B．it would be a big misfortune.

　　　 C．I should avoid playing golf.

　　　 D．I should consider myself lucky.

67．What does Dr．Ross Cartmill mean by“the ostrich approach”（in Para 5）?

　　　 A．A casual attitude towards one’s health conditions.

　　　 B．A new treatment for certain psychological problems．

　　　 C．Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.

　　　 D．Unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear.
