One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. His short steps dragged on the carpet. “Is 77 too old to learn the banjo（班卓琴）?” he asked. “ Its never too late to learn to play,” I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I was giving false encouragement. I reached the instructors schedule and gave the rates, the available(有效的) time and additional information that he would need. To my surprise and delight, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher. With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didnt arrive one Tuesday. The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. “Carls in hospital,” the voice recorded. Two months later, I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher. We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student. Several months later, an old woman came into the store carrying a plant.“This is for Carls banjo teacher,” she said.“Im his wife, Mary.” “Why did Carl want to play banjo?” I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Carl was at some show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were picking up their instruments, the banjo player said to Carl,You want to see this up close?Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo.” Carl had waited 67 years to realize this dream! Mary gave the plant to me. “Thank you for the best six months of his life,” she said.61. In Paragraph 2, the authors reaction to Carls question showed that he _.A. was willing to help B. didnt want to encourage CarlC. didnt want to give him false encouragementD. encouraged Carl though he had doubts62. The underlined word “obituary” in Paragraph 5 means a notice that _. A. announces somebody has diedB. announces somebody is neededC. announces a good piece of newsD. announces a gift for somebody63. Why did Carl want to learn banjo? A. Because his wife encouraged him to learn it.B. Because he wanted to become a banjo performer.C. Because he wanted to realize a dream from his early age.D. Because he wanted to enjoy the last six months of his life.64. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. all roads lead to RomeB. its never too old to learn C. well beginning is half doneD. a friend in need is a friend indeed.BMasako KaiI dont think its good for teens to devote so much time to training for the Olympics because I think that too much pressure is not good for anybody and some young athletes want to do other things. If they are training all day for the Olympics, they will forget how to enjoy athletic events and will hate them. They need to take a rest sometimes. Hiromi MaruyamaI think if the teenager wants to take part in the Olympics, to practice many hours each day is not bad. Watching the Olympics on TV. I feel like taking part in the Olympics. Then I am willing to make that kind of sacrifice（牺牲）. It is very good memory and gives confidence to athletes, so I think that if teenage athletes spend a lot of time on practice, it is good.Ai Onitsuka I think its not good for youngsters, but if they want to win the Olympic Games, they have to practice many hours every day. Most young people want freedom, but if they want to accomplish something, it is important that they accept some restrictions（限制）.Maybe they feel very annoyed and they want to stop their practice, but these feelings are connected to their strong will to win the Olympic Games. But it is more important that they take holidays sometimes. They have to refresh their feelings, so they can practice with new spirit.Meiko MiyagawaMost Olympic athletes start practicing sports in early childhood. The practice is very hard. Sometimes they cry, but they continue the practice because they like their sports. When I watched a TV sports interview, a small girl said, “I want to become an Olympic champion.” I was surprised because the girl was only 6 years old.65. What are the four people talking about?A. How teens practice for the Olympics.B. Why teens want to take part in the Olympic Games.C. Different ways to train young Olympic athletes.D. Whether teens should spend so much time training for the Olympics.66. Who obviously agrees that teenagers should spend a lot of time practicing for the Olympics?A. Masako Kai. B. Hiromi Maruyama.C. Ai Onitsuka. D. Meiko Miyagawa.67. According to Ai Onitsuka, _.A. young athletes should practice hard every dayB. young athletes usually feel annoyed during the trainingC. winning the Olympic Games is more important D. young athletes should take a rest sometimes68. What surprised Meiko Miyagawa is that a six-year-old girl _.A. can be an Olympic championB. was interviewed by the reportersC. could say such words D. is trained for the OlympicsCImagine that while walking through a park one day, you begin to notice strange things all around you. People in colorful clothes from centuries ago walk on the roads. A magician is doing amazing tricks. Musicians play strange music on strange instruments. Knights（骑士）on horseback show their skills in riding competitions. The smell of roasting meat begins to make your mouth water. A pleasant voice shouts, “Good morrow!”What is going on? Have you traveled back in time? In a way, yes. You have found yourself in the midst of a Renaissance fair（文艺复兴嘉年华）! Since the 1960s, Renaissance fairs have become more and more popular in the US and Canada. Communities in at least 44 states and two Canadian provinces now hold Renaissance fairs every year. The first Renaissance fair was started in the 1960s by a school teacher in southern California named Phyllis Patterson. She wanted to give her students a real-life history experience, so she created the “Renaissance Fair” in her backyard. The rest, as they say, is history.Since Renaissance fairs are “living history”, you might think they are designed to be mainly educational. Its true that some people try to make the fairs as genuine as possible. However, for many others, the key word is entertainment. With all the musicians and magicians walking about, you will be surely pleased. A Renaissance fair will be a feast for your eyes and ears, not to mention your stomach.So if you have ever wanted to travel back in time, heres your chance.69. Why did Phyllis start a Renaissance fair?A. To help her students become the master of history.B. To make her students experience history.C. To give her students an experience of life.D. To allow her students to play in her backyard.70. As well as educating, Renaissance fairs are intended for _.A. adventureB. communicationC. businessD. fun71. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. Americans and Canadians like fairs moreB. attending Renaissance fairs is to be educatedC. Renaissance fairs are more popular than everD. California is where modern fairs were born DIf your friend and family get fat, chances are you will, too. Researchers report in a new study that suggests obesity is “socially contagious(传染性的)” and can spread easily from person to person.The large, federally funded study found that to be true even if your loved ones lived far away. Social ties seemed to play a surprisingly strong role, even more than genes are known to do.“We were shocked to find that friends who are hundreds of miles away have just as much impact on a persons weight status as friends who are right next door.” Said coauthor James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego.The study found a persons chances of becoming fat went up 57 percent if a friend did, 40 percent if a sibling(兄弟姐妹) did and 37 percent if a spouse(配偶) did.Researchers think its more than just people with similar eating and exercise habits hanging out together. Instead, it may be that having relatives and friends who become obese changes ones idea of what is an acceptable weight.Despite their findings, the researchers said people should not stop their friendships. “There is a ton of research that suggest that having more friends makes you healthier，” Fowler said.“So the last thing that you want to do is get rid of any of your friends.”The study was published in Thursdays New England Journal of Medicine and funded by the National Institute on Aging.Obesity is a global public health problem. About 1.5 billion adults worldwide are overweight, including more than 400 million who are obese. Twothirds of Americans are either overweight or obese.Much of the recent research focus has been on the intense hunt for obesity genes involved in appetite or calorie burning. Treatment has been mainly centered on helping individuals curb(抑制) their weight through better diet and fitness. The findings could open a new way for treating this worldwide obesity. The researchers said it might be helpful to treat obese people in groups instead of just the individual.72. Treating obesity at present is mainly by _.A. not keeping in touch with your relatives and friendsB. taking some lossweight pillsC. going on proper diets and having right exerciseD. getting rid of obesity genes involved in appetite or calorie burning73. According to the new study, obesity is “socially contagious”，which seems to be mainly caused by_.A. genes B. social tiesC. living conditions D. diets74. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 mean?AIt is unwise for us to get rid of any of our friends because of obesity.BThe best way of preventing obesity is to get rid of any o
