The next morning, when I 18 my bed after breakfast, I unexpectedly 19 __a note under my pillow. Mother wrote that she loved me and 20 me.

A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of （证明有……罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months.

Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street ,London ,on March 9.
Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting（起诉）,said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies’ toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms（防盗警报装置）.

“She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn’t really have any explanation why she did this ,” Miss Duff said . “She didn’t intend to steal when she went into the store .She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady .She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this.”
Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡ 50, and warned : “You’ve got a criminal record .If you carry on like this ,you will end up in prison ,which will ruin your bright future you may have.”

On Tuesday, there will be a tiny salt shaker(小盐瓶) symbol on menus in some restaurants in New York City. It warns certain meals are high in sodium. The first US city is taking the step to fight against heart disease and stroke(中风).
Any menu item with more than 2.3 grams of sodium in it must have the emblem of a salt shaker in a black triangle. Many scientists give us the advice: A person shouldn’t eat more sodium than the daily limit every day, which equals about one teaspoon of salt.
“It’s not hard to get 2.3 grams of sodium into your mouth,” said Dr Howard Weintraub from New York University Langone Center(预防中心). A study found New Yorkers eat more than 3,200 mg of sodium each day on average(平均), the health department said.
For most Americans, eating in the restaurants such as Chipotle(小辣椒) and Subway(赛百味)is thought to be more healthy. The new menu symbol may be an eye-opener for people who go to eat in these restaurants. Until Tuesday, they may haven’t noticed that there is 2,790 mg sodium in a Chipotle loaded chicken burrito(双层鸡肉卷). And a foot-long spicy Italian sub(香辣三明)has 2,980 mg sodium in Subway.
Getting New Yorkers to start watching their sodium intake is a first step. And people should do more to improve their health. “Things are not going to work out great if all you do is just not eat salt,” Weintraub said. “But maybe, just maybe, they’ll start to watch how much they eat, maybe they will get off the subway a stop earlier and walk, instead of taking the elevator, they will walk two flights, there will be some weight loss.”
31. What’s the symbol on the menus like?
A. A white bottle in the red circle.
B. A tiny salt shaker in a black triangle.
C. A capital letter P in a yellow circle.
D. A coffee cup in a white triangle
32. A Chipotle loaded chicken burrito has ________ sodium more than the daily limit.
A. 490 mg B. 900 mg C. 2,790 mg D. 3,200 mg
33. We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. all restaurants across the US will use the salt shaker symbol
B. New Yorkers eat one teaspoon of salt each day on average
C. eating too much salt can cause heart disease and stroke
D. New York will ban (禁止) smoking in public places
34. The underlined word “eye-opener” in the passage probably means “__________”.
A. 喜悦 B. 愤怒 C. 失望 D. 震惊
35. According to Weintraub, which is a healthy life style?
A. People should eat no salt when they are old.
B. Jim takes the elevator up and down.
C. Lucy climbs a long flight of stairs.
D. We should eat meals which are high in sodium.
C
There is really little doubt that the British are different from other members of the European Community as some recent statistics demonstrate(说明). Take marriage for instance. Nowhere else in Europe—except for Portugal—has fewer marriages. Yet Britain has the highest divorce rate-almost half of all marriages end up on the rocks. Italian couples are six times more likely to stick together. Of those who divorce, British men seem far more willing to take another chance than women divorcées.
　　However, Britain measures up pretty well in other departments. It is the second safest place in Europe to drive a car, beaten only by Norway. There are many more fatal road accidents in France, Spain and Portugal. Also, the reputation the British have for being work-shy is not confirmed(确认) by statistics. At an average of forty-four hours a week they beat even the hard-working Germans by four hours. Unfortunately, there is a downside to this. Britain and Holland share the worst rates of job absenteeism(旷工) in the whole of Europe. The Dutch and the British, so alike in many superficial(表面的) senses, differ markedly in one area: The British lock up twice as many people as the Dutch do.
36．Which country seems to have the most safe marriages?
　　A．Portugal B．Italy C．Britain D．France
37．Divorced men in Britain ______ .
　　A．usually do not get married again
　　B．are more likely to marry again than divorced women
　　C．generally remarry women who have not already been married
　　D．are usually willing to live with women divorcées
38．Which of these countries has the worst road accident record?
　　A．France B．Norway C．Britain D．Italy
39．Which of these statements is true?
　　A．The British work as many hours as the Germans.
　　B．Britain has Europe's best road safety record.
　　C．Britain is tougher on criminals than Dutch.
　　D．The British work fewer hours than the Germans.
40．Which people appear to be the most conscientious(勤恳的) workers?
　　A．The Dutch. B．The French. C．The Spanish. D．The British.

As a Bangladeshi-American (孟加拉裔美国人), Khan understands that many kids, especially those in developing countries, cannot get a good education. He himself has three degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and one from Harvard.____44_____. Thus, his courses are all offered for free. “Our mission (任务) is to provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere,” he said.______45_______.

We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up extra fat and also keeps the body full of energy. If you exercise several times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.
Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many people don't have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from morning to late afternoon, so they don't have time to take exercise.
Most westerners live too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This is not good in two ways. First, these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and needs too much attention. It makes a person very tired. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don't want to take exercise after work.
Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don't see a difference right away, they will lose confidence and stop exercising.
