country within a dozen miles of where i live. in imagination i have bought all the farms, one after another, and i knew their prices. the nearest thing that i came to actual ownership was when i bought the hollowell place. but before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. however, i let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what i gave for it. the real attractions of the hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. the poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadnt been used for some time. i remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and i was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. i wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. but it turned out as i have said. i was not really troubled by the loss. i had always had a garden, but i dont think i was ready for a large farm. i believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的). it makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.56. what do we know about the author? a. he wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived. b. he made a study of many farms before buying. c. he made money by buying and selling farms. d. he had the money to buy the best farm in the country.57. why did the author decide to buy the hollowell place? a. it was of good market value. b. it was next to the highway. c. it was in a good position. d. it was behind a nice garden.58. why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry? a. he was afraid the owner might changes his mind. b. he hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm. c. he wanted to keep the farm as it was. d. he was eager to become a farm owner.59. the underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to _.a. the money the author lost in buying the farmb. the sale of the garden in the hollowell placec. the removal of the trees around the housed. the failure to possess the hollowell place60. what does the author believe as important in life?a. to own a farm b. to satisfy his needsc. to be free from worries d. to live in the countryside bvans, keds, dolliesthey sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, youll know theyre actually the latest in teenage footwear. but experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future. here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers shoe choice. keds/vansslip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with keds and vans the most sought-after brands. the main problem is that they are just too flatso flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.ballet pumpsthe worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. the problem is partly their flatness, as with keds and vans. however ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems. “as the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait（步法）, this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses（茧子）, heel and knee pain.” wedges and stilettosthese shoes can also cause problems with gait. they may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearers body weight forward, making them very unstable.teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain. school shoesso what do podiatrists（足科医生）have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear? something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as clarks, marks & spencer or rhino. if your teen insists on wearing bad shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. these support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage. 61. of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems? a. marks & spencer. b. wedges & stilettos. c. keds and vans. d. ballet pumps.62. which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists wish list? a. b. c. d.63. the underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _.a. increase b. worsen c. stop d. cure64. from this passage we can infer _. a. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers healthb. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them c. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes d. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes65. in which column of mail online can you find this passage? a. sports. b. science. c. health. d. shopping.cthose who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick. now a new study in the archives of internal medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness. the study of 79 adults (average age 72) with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help. traditional behavioral therapy（疗法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist a costly commitment many patients either cant make or dont have access to. other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements. in the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45- to 60-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls. doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day, regardless of sleep duration; dont go to bed unless sleepy; and dont stay in bed unless asleep. the other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia, which included the same instructions given to the intervention group, but without the individualized sessions with a therapist. two weeks later, the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call. at the end of four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group. by that time, 55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia, compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures. the good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the u.k.s mental health foundation. the report, sleep matters, suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to concentrate. poor sleep has already been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease. 66. what is the meaning of the underlined word “ insomnia”?a. sleeplessness b. depression c. heart disease d. immune deficiency67. what is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy? a. it cant help. b. it costs a lot of money. c. it requires sessions with a therapist. d. it includes sleep-aiding medications.68. how to improve sleep according to the doctor? a. lying in bed awake. b. get up early every day. c. dont go to bed late at night. d. dont stay in bed if you are not asleep.69. we can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following results except_. a. depression b. concentration c. immune deficiency d. heart disease70. what can we infer from the study?a. the intervention group was not given the printed materials.b. the latter group of the study was not given follow-up phone calls.c. the behavioral treatment group was less likely to show improvements.d. the instructing session that the intervention group received is most effective.di entered high school having read hundreds of books. but i was not a good reader. merely bookish, i lacked a point of view when i read. rather, i read in order to get a point of view. i searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. when one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade english class that a person could not have a complicated (复杂的) idea until he had read at least two thousand books, i heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. i merely determined to make a list of all the books i had ever read. strict with myself, i included only once a title i might have read several times. ( how, after all, could one read a book more than once?) and i included only those books over a hundred pages in length. ( could anything shorter be a book?)there was yet another high school list i made. one day i came across a newspaper article about an english professor at a nearby state c
