A
The blue eyes that looked at him from outside the door were like the light through a magnifying glass (放大镜) when it is at its brightest and smallest, when paper and leaves begin to
smoke.
"Hey," said the man in the door. "Remember me?"
"Yes," the boy said, whispering. "Rick."
He felt so surprised to see Rick. All of Rick seemed to be shown in the eyes, with a strong feeling that ought to have hurt him.
"You knew me," Rick said. "You hadn't forgotten."
"You're --just the same," the boy said, and felt much thankful.
He seemed even to be wearing the same clothes, the same blue shirt and grey trousers. He was thin, but he was built to be lean; and he was still, or again, sunburnt (晒黑了). After everything, the slow white smile still showed the slight feeling of happiness.
"Let's look at you," Rick said, dropping into a chair. Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick, as if nothing had happened. There were lines about his eyes, and deeper lines on his cheeks (面颊), but he looked like--just Rick, lined by sunlight and smiling.
"When I look at you," he said, "You make me think about me, for we look like each other."
"Yes," said the boy, eagerly, "they all think we both look like my grandfather."

Baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a water system for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.
Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modem medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700's has also become popular in the United States.
For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one's health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!
By the 1700's doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.
In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as "The Great Unwasbed!" In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bath every thirty days!
Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential to good health.
60. According to the passage, dirty bodies can ________.
A. ruin one's business B. cause disease
C. drive customers away D. contribute to good health
61. In the 18th century doctors believed that being clean was ________.
A. meaningful B. good for health C. harmful D. important
62. The underlined word perfume in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A. a sweet smelling liquid B. a man-made coat(涂层)
C. a kind of bathing equipment D. a kind of soap
63. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans rarely bathed. What do you think the reason is?
A. Water there was in a great shortage. B. A law forbade them to do so.
C. The Americans didn't like bathing. D. It is not mentioned in the passage.
C
The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It shows the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab's changing colour follows a regular twenty-four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.
Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun's rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab's skin colour continued to change exactly on time.
This characteristic probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated inside the living body of the crab.
The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab's period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!
64. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes its colour ________.
A. in a regular 24-hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun's rays
C. at low tide D. every fifty minutes

A. tells the crab what time it is
B. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies
C. keeps it in a proper condition of temperature
D. is of no practical use
66. The crab's colour-changing ability was probably developed ________.
A. through being exposed in the sunlight B. since it was born
C. by the work of biologists D. in the process of evolution (进化)
67. The best title for this selection would be _________.
A. The Sun and the Tides B. Discoveries in Biology
C. The Crab and Its Colour D. A Living Clock
D
People used to say, "The hand that rocks the cradle (摇篮) rules the world." and "Behind every successful man there is a woman."
Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them.
Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid.
They want to be as successful as men.
The American women's liberation movement was started by women who didn't want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.
A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence (自信) in herself. If somebody says to her, "You have come a long way, baby." She will smile and answer, "Not nearly as far as I'm going to go, baby!"
This movement is quite new, and many American women don't agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women's lives--in men's lives, too.
68. Which of the following statements is NOT tree?
A. Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for the
same work.
B. Most American women want to be more successful than men.
C. Not every American woman wants to get a job.
D. The American women's liberation movement did make some changes in women's lives.

A. still going a long way to work
B. working at easier jobs than men
C. unwilling to work side by side with men
D. willing to be less important than men as they used to

A. I'm still going to work farther away from home
B. I'm not going to work far away from home
C. I'm not satisfied with what I've done
D. What I have done is not far from success
71. The American women's liberation movement ________.
A. still has a long way to go B. is a failure
C. was started by many successful women D. is a new thing not accepted by the writer

If your friends and family get fat, chances are you will too, researchers report in a new study that suggests obesity (肥胖) is "socially contagious" and can spread easily from person to person.
The study found that to be true even if your loved ones lived far away. Social ties seemed to play a strong role, even more than genes are known to do. "We were surprised to find that friends who are hundreds of miles away have just as much powerful effect on a person's weight status as friends who are right next door," said co-author James Fowler of the University of Califomia, San Diego. The study found a person's chances of becoming obese went up 57 percent if a friend did, 40 percent if a sibling (兄弟姐妹) did and 37 percent if a spouse (配偶) did.
Researchers think it's more than just people with similar eating and exercise habits hanging out together. Instead, it may be that having relatives and friends who become obese changes one's idea of what is an acceptable weight. Despite their findings, the researchers said people should not cut off their relationships. "There is a ton of research that suggest that having more friends makes you healthier," Fowler said. "So the last thing that you want to do is to get rid of any of your friends."
The study was published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine and funded by the National Institute on Aging.
Obesity is a global public health problem. About 1.5 billion adults worldwide are overweight, including more than 400 million who are obese. Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese. Much of the recent research focus has been on the hunt for obesity genes involved in appetite or calorie burning. Treatment has been mainly centered on helping individuals control their weight through better diet and fitness. The findings could open a new method for treating this worldwide epidemic (流行病). The researchers said it might be helpful to treat obese people in groups instead of just the individual.
"Because people are interconnected, their health is interconnected," said lead author Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a Harvard sociologist.
72. The word contagious underlined in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. similar B. serious C. interconnected D. spreading
73. According to the passage, if your friend who lives far away from you get fat, you ________.
A. should cut off the relationships with him
B. should care about him as a friend
C. will not be infected for the long distance
D. are probably either overweight or obese
74. Which is the new way for treating the worldwide epidemic after the new study?
A. Treating fat people in groups instead of the individual.
B. Hunting for obesity genes involved in calorie burning.
C. Controlling their weight through better diet and fitness.
D. Hunting for obesity--genes involved in appetite.
75. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Obesity is "socially contagious".
B. How to control individual's weight.
C. Obesity is a global public health problem.
D. Everything is interconnected in the world.
