阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该答案涂黑。
I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 36 me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 37 , my mother is telling me, “Don’t watch the 38 when you say, ‘I’m sorry.’ Hold your head up and look the person in the 39 , so he’ll know you 40 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a (n) 41 apology: it must be direct. You must never 42 to be doing something else. You do not 43 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 44 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 45 . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 46 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 47 .
One of the important things you should do for an 48 apology is readiness to 49 the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 50 for the other person to 51 us. Since most people are open – hearted, the no – excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 52 about themselves. That, after all, is the 53 of every apology. It 54 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s 55 encourages others to take their share of the blame.
36．A．provided B．mixed C．compared D．treated
37．A．dreams B．courses C．memories D．ideas
38．A．side B．ground C．wall D．bottom

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When John Milton, writer of “Paradise Lost”, entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul’s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word – for – word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.
After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems, Y they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645.
56．What does the passage mainly tell about?
A．How John Milton wrote “Paradise Lost”.
B．How John Milton studied Latin.
C．How John Milton became famous.
D．How John Milton became a poet.
57．Which of the following is true of John Milton’s pronunciation of Latin?
A．It has a strong Italian accent.
B．It has an uncommon accent.
C．It was natural and easy to understand.
D．It was bad and difficult to understand.
58．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．Milton’s training in Latin was similar to that of the other boys
B．Milton hadn’t learned any foreign language except Latin before going to college
C．Milton’s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talking
D．Milton’s classmates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton
59．Which of the following is suggested in the passage?
A．The schoolmaster mainly helped those who were bad at Latin.
B．The schoolmaster usually stood beside the boys with a stick in his hand.
C．The schoolboys could repeat Latin grammar rules from memory.
D．Some of the schoolboys were quick at writing compositions in Latin.
60．What is the meaning of the underlined part “Latin should be beaten in” that the writer wishes you to understand?
A．Schoolboys should be punished if they were lazy to learn Latin.
B．Schoolboys should be encouraged if they had difficulty in learning Latin.
C．Schoolboys were expected to master Latin in a short time.
D．Schoolboys had to study Latin in a hard way.
B
The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smaller college age population starting in the middle 1970’s. Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel – efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gas – guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service – unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example – than during more prosperous times. It also means that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.
61．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.
B．There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.
C．Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.
D．High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.
62．The phrase “laid off” can best be replaced by which of the following?
A．Poor. B．Got rid of. C．Removed. D．Unemployed.
63．American cars weren’t popular in their domestic markets because of .
A．small B．gas – consuming C．fuel – efficient D．not attractive
64．The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that .
A．they couldn’t get enough income to keep them running
B．young people couldn’t afford the tuition fees
C．keeping them running at the same level would cost much more
D．social services need more state funds because of the recession
65．All of the following statements are true EXCEPT .
A．young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’s
B．it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’s
C．fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of the recession in 1970’s
D．Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recession
C
Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers said, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take your further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pressure for her that she never thought of stopping.
We are all born with wide – eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist (大提琴家) Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach (巴赫). As the music flowed through his fingers, his bend shoulders would strengthen and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Yeas make the skin old, but to give up enthusiasm makes the soul old.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.”
If we can’t do what we love as a full – time career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her sadness that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might – have – beens ”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what – can – be ”. We need to live each moment whole – heartedly, with all our senses – finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six – year – old, and the beauty of a rainbow.
66．The passage mainly shows us .
A．enthusiasm is the basic element of everything
B．enthusiasm helps us to succeed to a greater degree
C．enthusiasm makes us experience more life
D．we can do nothing without enthusiasm
67．From the example of the Nobel Prize winner Barbara McClintock, we may find .
A．enthusiasm can encourage us in difficult times
B．enthusiastic people always get a deep pleasure from work
C．you can’t make any achievement if you have no enthusiasm
D．enthusiastic people are sure to gain great fame in the end
68．The underlined sentence in Paragraph Three suggests .
A．time and tide wait for no man
B．we grow old as time goes on
C．people feel young with enthusiasm
D．our soul becomes old with enthusiasm
69．The sentence “I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.” In Paragraph Four refers to “ ”.
A．I wouldn’t work unless I could make money
B．I believe that my work will be rewarded
C．Working for money is what I love to do
D．Working for money makes no money at all
70．The main idea of the last paragraph is .
A．we should try heart and soul to win what we want
B．enthusiasm can give us pleasure, though we have to sweat
C．we have not enough money to buy what we need
D．enthusiasm with sweat is what we need
D
It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and /or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels is creating a “greenhouse effect” – holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature – a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.
71．As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution .
A．caused widespread damage in the countryside
B．affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C．had damaging effects on health
D．existed merely in urban and industrial areas
72．As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, the author .
A．shares the same view with the scientists
B．is uncertain of its occurrence
C．rejects it as being ungrounded
D．thinks that it will destroy the world soon
73．The word “offset” (Para. 2) could best be replaced by .
A．slip into B．make up for C．set up D．catch up with
74．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees wouldn’t do much harm to life on earth
B．lowering the world’s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster
C．almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade
D．the world’s temperature will remain constant in the years to come
75．This passage is primarily concerned with .
A．the greenhouse effect B．the burning of fossil fuels
C．the potential effect of air pollution D．the likelihood of a new ice age

Zinc (锌) is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health. It is present in the body in a very small amount but makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells. Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and the other elements work..
Researchers first studied zinc as a way to speed recovery. Dr. Waltor Powys formerly with the United States Air Force noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some matters were added to their food. One of these matters was zinc. Dr. Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American airman recovering from medical operations. The airman who received zinc sulphate (硫酸盐) recovered in half of the usual time. Other doctors studied persons who had a number of strange disorders. The doctors learned that all of these problems were caused by lack of zinc in the body. They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patients zinc sulphate.
The amount of zinc in the body can be found by examining blood and hair. A lack of this important element is not uncommon among people in both industrial and developing countries. Zinc is found in most high protein foods such as meet, milk, fish and eggs. It is also found in whole grains. But many people do not eat enough of these foods. Food markets should add these elements so that .

There are four people in the picture. A girl is learning how to ride a bike. Her parents and her grandmother, being afraid that she might fall off the bike, are trying hard to support her. The mother is even carrying a first – aid box. But with them around her, the girl finds it very difficult to learn. So she tells them to let her ride it by herself.
In our real life, we can see something like that happening everywhere. Parents love their children too much. They take care of everything for them. They don’t want them to take any risks. However, by doing so, the parents actually hinder their children from growing up strong and healthy. Parents should know that trees can’t grow big and strong in a greenhouse.

M : But it’s beautiful.
W : I know. I’ll pay half and he can pay half.

M : OK.
W : Fred says here that his cotton is ready for harvest. And he’s thinking of buying some more fields next year.

（Text 10）
Last Friday a storm tore through two villages in South Africa destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or torn roofs. One person was killed, several were badly injured and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received small injuries. Altogether over two hundred people were left homeless as a result of the storm.
A farmer, Mr. Smith, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was in the kitchen with my wife and children, when we heard a loud noise,” he said, “A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We managed to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but frightened.” Soldiers helped to bring people out of the flooded area and the government provided food, clothes and housing.

I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 36 me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 37 , my mother is telling me, “Don’t watch the 38 when you say, ‘I’m sorry.’ Hold your head up and look the person in the 39 , so he’ll know you 40 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a (n) 41 apology: it must be direct. You must never 42 to be doing something else. You do not 43 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 44 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 45 . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 46 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 47 .
One of the important things you should do for an 48 apology is readiness to 49 the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 50 for the other person to 51 us. Since most people are open – hearted, the no – excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 52 about themselves. That, after all, is the 53 of every apology. It 54 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s 55 encourages others to take their share of the blame.

A
When John Milton, writer of “Paradise Lost”, entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul’s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word – for – word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.
After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems, Y they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645.
56．What does the passage mainly tell about?
A．How John Milton wrote “Paradise Lost”.
B．How John Milton studied Latin.
C．How John Milton became famous.
D．How John Milton became a poet.
57．Which of the following is true of John Milton’s pronunciation of Latin?
A．It has a strong Italian accent.
B．It has an uncommon accent.
C．It was natural and easy to understand.
D．It was bad and difficult to understand.
58．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．Milton’s training in Latin was similar to that of the other boys
B．Milton hadn’t learned any foreign language except Latin before going to college
C．Milton’s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talking
D．Milton’s classmates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton
59．Which of the following is suggested in the passage?
A．The schoolmaster mainly helped those who were bad at Latin.
B．The schoolmaster usually stood beside the boys with a stick in his hand.
C．The schoolboys could repeat Latin grammar rules from memory.
D．Some of the schoolboys were quick at writing compositions in Latin.
60．What is the meaning of the underlined part “Latin should be beaten in” that the writer wishes you to understand?
A．Schoolboys should be punished if they were lazy to learn Latin.
B．Schoolboys should be encouraged if they had difficulty in learning Latin.
C．Schoolboys were expected to master Latin in a short time.
D．Schoolboys had to study Latin in a hard way.

The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smaller college age population starting in the middle 1970’s. Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel – efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gas – guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service – unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example – than during more prosperous times. It also means that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.
61．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.
B．There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.
C．Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.
D．High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.
62．The phrase “laid off” can best be replaced by which of the following?
A．Poor. B．Got rid of. C．Removed. D．Unemployed.
63．American cars weren’t popular in their domestic markets because of .
A．small B．gas – consuming C．fuel – efficient D．not attractive
64．The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that .
A．they couldn’t get enough income to keep them running
B．young people couldn’t afford the tuition fees
C．keeping them running at the same level would cost much more
D．social services need more state funds because of the recession
65．All of the following statements are true EXCEPT .
A．young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’s
B．it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’s
C．fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of the recession in 1970’s
D．Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recession
C
Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers said, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take your further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pressure for her that she never thought of stopping.
We are all born with wide – eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist (大提琴家) Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach (巴赫). As the music flowed through his fingers, his bend shoulders would strengthen and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Yeas make the skin old, but to give up enthusiasm makes the soul old.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.”
If we can’t do what we love as a full – time career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her sadness that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might – have – beens ”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what – can – be ”. We need to live each moment whole – heartedly, with all our senses – finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six – year – old, and the beauty of a rainbow.
66．The passage mainly shows us .
A．enthusiasm is the basic element of everything
B．enthusiasm helps us to succeed to a greater degree
C．enthusiasm makes us experience more life
D．we can do nothing without enthusiasm
67．From the example of the Nobel Prize winner Barbara McClintock, we may find .
A．enthusiasm can encourage us in difficult times
B．enthusiastic people always get a deep pleasure from work
C．you can’t make any achievement if you have no enthusiasm
D．enthusiastic people are sure to gain great fame in the end
68．The underlined sentence in Paragraph Three suggests .
A．time and tide wait for no man
B．we grow old as time goes on
C．people feel young with enthusiasm
D．our soul becomes old with enthusiasm
69．The sentence “I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.” In Paragraph Four refers to “ ”.
A．I wouldn’t work unless I could make money
B．I believe that my work will be rewarded
C．Working for money is what I love to do
D．Working for money makes no money at all
70．The main idea of the last paragraph is .
A．we should try heart and soul to win what we want
B．enthusiasm can give us pleasure, though we have to sweat
C．we have not enough money to buy what we need
D．enthusiasm with sweat is what we need
D
It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and /or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels is creating a “greenhouse effect” – holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature – a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.
71．As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution .
A．caused widespread damage in the countryside
B．affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C．had damaging effects on health
D．existed merely in urban and industrial areas
72．As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, the author .
A．shares the same view with the scientists
B．is uncertain of its occurrence
C．rejects it as being ungrounded
D．thinks that it will destroy the world soon
73．The word “offset” (Para. 2) could best be replaced by .
A．slip into B．make up for C．set up D．catch up with
74．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees wouldn’t do much harm to life on earth
B．lowering the world’s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster
C．almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade
D．the world’s temperature will remain constant in the years to come
75．This passage is primarily concerned with .
A．the greenhouse effect B．the burning of fossil fuels
C．the potential effect of air pollution D．the likelihood of a new ice age

Zinc (锌) is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health. It is present in the body in a very small amount but makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells. Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and the other elements work..
Researchers first studied zinc as a way to speed recovery. Dr. Waltor Powys formerly with the United States Air Force noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some matters were added to their food. One of these matters was zinc. Dr. Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American airman recovering from medical operations. The airman who received zinc sulphate (硫酸盐) recovered in half of the usual time. Other doctors studied persons who had a number of strange disorders. The doctors learned that all of these problems were caused by lack of zinc in the body. They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patients zinc sulphate.
The amount of zinc in the body can be found by examining blood and hair. A lack of this important element is not uncommon among people in both industrial and developing countries. Zinc is found in most high protein foods such as meet, milk, fish and eggs. It is also found in whole grains. But many people do not eat enough of these foods. Food markets should add these elements so that .

There are four people in the picture. A girl is learning how to ride a bike. Her parents and her grandmother, being afraid that she might fall off the bike, are trying hard to support her. The mother is even carrying a first – aid box. But with them around her, the girl finds it very difficult to learn. So she tells them to let her ride it by herself.
In our real life, we can see something like that happening everywhere. Parents love their children too much. They take care of everything for them. They don’t want them to take any risks. However, by doing so, the parents actually hinder their children from growing up strong and healthy. Parents should know that trees can’t grow big and strong in a greenhouse.

（Text 10）
Last Friday a storm tore through two villages in South Africa destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or torn roofs. One person was killed, several were badly injured and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received small injuries. Altogether over two hundred people were left homeless as a result of the storm.
A farmer, Mr. Smith, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was in the kitchen with my wife and children, when we heard a loud noise,” he said, “A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We managed to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but frightened.” Soldiers helped to bring people out of the flooded area and the government provided food, clothes and housing.
