Diners appear in our novels, plays, poems, and movies. Many artists have used diners as scenes for their paintings. Why are diners so interesting to us? The diner attracts many different kinds of people. It is a safe place for lonely truck drivers far away from home. Construction workers learn about new jobs in distant cities. Traveling salesmen exchange information with one another. Students sit there, having drinks and hamburgers. The people who work in diners are also interesting. Where did the new waitress come from? Will she remain here, or will she suddenly run off one day, as the last one did? And is the short cook really an escaped prisoner? Everyone comes to the diner for different reasons. Some want to work there, and some want to eat there. Some stay for years, and others stay only for a few minutes. But, for all of them, the diner is a bright, warm pause between the endless stretches of open road. 56. Whats the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Diners attract different people. B. Diners offer different food. C. How people eat at the diner. D. When people come to diners. 57. The purpose of the last paragraph is to _. A. tell us about the reasons for people coming to the diner B. invite us to try diners as a pause between stretches of open road C. give us a summary of the whole passage D. provide us with more information about a diner 58. Why do truck drivers like the diner? A. Its a place to exchange information. B. Its a place for a drink and a hamburger. C. Its a safe place against loneliness. D. Its a good place to learn about new jobs.BAn election year is one in which all four numbers can evenly(偶数地) be divided by four (1944, 1948, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending in zero have been destined to die in office. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia several weeks after taking office. Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were murdered. He was elected in 1860, and his untimely death came just five years later. James A Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldnt give a job. While in his second term of office (1901), William Mckinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Exposition(全美博览会) at Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was murdered while shaking hands with some of the guests. Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G. Harding died in office. Although it was never proved, many believe he was poisoned.Franklin D. Roosevelt had been elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and died of the illness in 1945.John F. Kennedy, the last of the line, was murdered in 1963, only three years after his election. 59.

Regular X-ray can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give a three-dimensional (三维的) view of body organs .What is CAT scan? CAT stands for Computerized Axial Topography (层面X线照相术). It is a special X-ray machine that obtains a 360 degree picture of a small area of a patients body.Doctors use X-rays to study and diagnose (discover the nature of) diseases and injuries within the body. X-rays can learn the position of foreign objects inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs-if special liquids are added to the organs to be X-rayed.A CAT scanner, however, uses a light of X-rays to give a cross-sectional (横断面的) view of a specific part of the body. A fine light of X-rays is scanned across the body and turned around the patient from many different positions. A computer collects the information from each position and produces a clear cross-sectional image on a screen. This image is then photographed for later use. Several cross-sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photo” of the entire body organs. The newest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, just as a fast action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show 3 dimensional views of organs in a manner that was only made known during an operation or an examination a dead patient.Too much X-ray can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually dont expose the patient to more radiation than regular X-rays do. CAT scans can also be done without injecting liquids into the patient so they are less risky than regular X-ray procedures. CAT scans provide accurate, detailed information. They can find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives.68. What is NOT true of a CAT scan?A. It makes use of computer techniques. B. It gives clear images of active, moving body parts.C. It can stop the action of an organ for some time.D. It is safer than regular X-ray procedures.69. What is special about the latest CAT scanners?A. It helps to find out what is going on inside a persons body without opening it up.B. It provides clear photos of moving organs.C. It wont cause serious skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body.D. It can take 3-dimensional pictures of inside organs.70. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that _.A.CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or one part of itB.CAT scanners do not need the injection of liquidsC.CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray proceduresD. the patient can be exposed to a slight amount of radiation safely71. The best title for the passage might be _.A. The New Medical Invention B. Advantages and Disadvantages of CAT ScannersC. How to Avoid Damage to X-rays D. A New Type X-ray Machine to Save LivesEWhat do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly. The brain is like a telephone exchange. It is the switchboard (电话总机) , but not the whole system. Its function, is to receive incoming signals, make proper connections, and send the messages through to their destination , For efficient service, the body must function as a whole.But where is the “mind”? Is it in the brain? Or perhaps in the nervous system? After all, can we say that the mind is in any particular place? It is not a thing, like a leg, or even the brain. It is a function, an activity. Aristotle, twenty-three hundred years ago, observed that the mind was to the body
