that heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!” papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldnt recognize him if he changed the hat. but she didnt believe him. mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long. at last papa answered, a little angry, “it would not the cowboy hat but a wifes talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair.” mama had a very serious look on her face. she went straight out and later came home with a straw hat. it was a bad year for ranger and we didnt have much money. she thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat, papa would wear it. when papa saw the hat, his face got red. without a word, he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses. he was a good ranger and gentle to his horses. but as papa got close to the horses this time, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. all of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn. papa began to shout “woo boys. steady boys, steady.” but there was nothing equal to. papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen, pushed the straw hat deep down into the fire then turned to mama, in a way that even frightened me. “now listen to me, mama. understand this i will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like.” then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house. i never heard mama talk any more about hats. perhaps, that is why when papa died many years later, there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.24.according to the passage, a ranger is _. aa person wearing a woolen hat ba position requiring clean clothesca person riding a carriage with horses da person training horses for some purpose25.mama bought papa a straw hat because _. ashe was worried about his health bmost cowboys preferred to wear itca woolen one didnt suit papa dit was cheap and she could save money26.what quality can we learn from papa? agentle.bpatient. cmodest. dcommitted.27.it can be learned from the story that _. apapa didnt love the straw hat and mama bprotecting hair was very important cthis family were not rich but diligent da cowboy hat was useful on farming c weve reached a strangesome would say unusualpoint. while fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the world health organization (who), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. its the good life thats more likely to kill us these days.worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. whats going on? we really dont have many excuses for our weight problems. the dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting throughup to a point. in the 1970s, finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. not any more. a public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades. maybe that explains why the percentage of people in finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. that has become a sort of fashion. no wonder it ranks as the worlds most body-conscious country. we know what we should be doing to lose weightbut actually doing it is another matter. by far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. more than half of us admit we lack willpower. others blame good food. they say: its just too inviting and it makes them overeat. still others lay the blame on the americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much american-style fast food. some also blame their parentstheir genes. but unfortunately, the parents are wronged because theyre normal in shape, or rather slim. its a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. parents are eager to see their kids shape up. do as i saynot as i do.28. what is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence? a. the good life is a greater risk than the bad life. b. starvation is taking more peoples lives in the world. c. who report shows peoples unawareness of food safety. d. overweight issue remains unresolved despite whos efforts.29. why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight? a. a lot of effective diet pills are available. b. body image has nothing to do with good food. c. they have been made fully aware of its dangers. d. there are too many overweight people in the world.30. the example of finland is used to illustrate _. a. the cause of heart disease b. the fashion of body shaping c. the effectiveness of a campaign d. the history of a body-conscious country31. which would be the best title for the passage?
