It was a very hot afternoon. The old man was pulling grass in his fields when he felt pain in his left hand. He at once realized he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. In no time he wrapped a cloth tightly around his arm to stop the poison spreading to his heart.

Two of the most well- known British festivals are Bonfire Night and Halloween.Bonfire Night has an interesting history. In 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes and some of his followers tried to blow up the British Houses of Parliament. They hoped that if they succeeded, they could take control of England and become its new rulers. Guy Fawkes and his men dug a tunnel under one of the Parliament buildings, and hid 36 barrels(桶)of gunpowder there. Fortunately, on November 5th, Guy Fawkes was caught just before he was able to light the fuse（导火线）. He and all his followers were burned to death.Today, people in Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes capture by lighting fires and holding fireworks displays.Halloween is celebrated in Britain on the night of October 31st. There are many customs associated with Halloween. One of these is the game of trick or treat. Children, dressed up as witches, ghosts or monsters, knock on their neighbours doors, and shout trick or treat! If they are lucky, they receive a treat a bar of chocolate, or some sweets or some money. If, however, their neighbours refuse to give them anything, they play a trick on them. They might spray their front door with shaving foam(剃须膏), or knock on their doors and then run away!Another game played at Halloween is bobbing for apples. In this game, a bowl is filled with water, and apples are placed in it. Children then have to take a bite from one of the apples without using their hands. This game is difficult and messy(杂乱的), but great fun!60.

Some experts believe that the answer is to make jobs more varied. Do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is something to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, it does not make him work harder. So variety is not important.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is very little that can be done to achieve this.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are said to be experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem then that the degree of worker contribution is important.To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important, but perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if companies succeed in making workers jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.65. Which of the following things will not increase productivity?A. Making jobs more varied. B. Giving workers the freedom to do his jobs in their own way.C. Increasing the workers contribution to production. D. Longer working hours.66. The last sentence in this passage means that if companies manage to make workers jobs more interesting, _.A. they will want more money B. they will demand shorter working hoursC. more money and shorter working hours are important D. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them67. In this passage, the writer tells us _. A. how to make the workers more productive B. possible factors leading to greater productivityC. more money leads to greater productivity D. how to make workers jobs more interesting68. The writer of this passage is probably a _. A. teacher B. worker C. manager D. physicistDZinc(锌) is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health. It is present in the body in a very small amount, but it makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells. Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and other element 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 substances were added to their food. One of these substances 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 one half 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 a 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 the 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 meat, milk, fish and eggs. It is also found in whole grains. But many people do not eat enough of these foods. Food makers should add the elements so that more people could get needed amounts of these essential substances.69. Which of the following statements in NOT true? A. Scientists are just starting to study how zinc and other elements work.B. People only need a very small amount of zinc to maintain good health.C. Zinc is important because it allows important chemical actions to take place in cells.D. A lack of zinc is rare among people in developed countries.70. Some health experts say food makers should add some elements _ people wont lack these essential substance. A. therefore B. since C. for the purpose that D. for the effect that71. The topic of this passage is _. A. the role of zinc sulphate B. the relationship between zinc and peoples healthC. the amount of zinc that the body needs D. the food that contains zincERich or poor, we all have problems: that unfaithful mate, that irritating(恼人的) colleague, that persistent disease, the investment that is turning into a huge loss.How do we remain calm, positive and even elegant in the face of all these difficulties of life?The following suggestions may help.It comes with the pay. I have a friend who used to complain about her dead-end job and unreasonable boss. Sound familiar? One day I told her. Look at it this way. You are getting paid for the annoyance as well as the work. It comes with the pay.This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations. Take every day as a bonus. When we learn to treasure every moment of what we have, we begin to see life in a whole new perspective.Its all in the mind. Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important we work at resolving problems. But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would only compound(使更复杂) the frustration.If you tell yourself there isnt a problem, there wont be one. Its all in the mind.Stop thinking about your own problemhelp others instead. A lady who is combating a life-threatening disease revealed she coped with her illness by making herself useful, by offering help to others in a similar situation.She has spoken to at least five other women with breast cancer. She says that the sharing has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.Never give up on your dream. Why do we give in and give up when we meet difficulties? Is it because we have no confidence in our cause and no commitment for what we pursue?It was said that Albert Einsteins last request on his death bed was to be given his equations and his unfinished statement declining the presidency of Israel. Einstein first picked up his equations and lamented to his son, If only I had more mathematics! What a great persistent spirit!One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy. She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to an assassins bulletBoddy Kennedy: And we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards to the past, but we shall carry on with courage.Not the end of the world. Do you know something else? Ive learned that care as you might, love as you might, some people just dont care back.And its not the end of the world. After all, its not the event that makes a person, is it? Its what we do about that happens to us.72. Which of the following may serve as an appropriate title for this passage? A.
