i dont think so. “health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. you cant be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. if you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, i think you should go to the doctor. the doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest x-rayed. after that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. the only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.speaking about doctors advice, i cant help telling you a funny story.an old gentleman came to see the doctor. the man was very ill. he told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. the doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. he told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. he also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. in other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” the doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day.a month later the gentleman came into the doctors office. he looked cheerful and happy. he thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“but you know, doctor,” he said, “its not easy to begin smoking at my age.”51. the writer thinks that _. a. medicine is more important than pleasure b. work is as important as studiesc. health is more important than wealth d. nothing is more important than money52. the doctor usually tells his patient what to do _. a without examining the patient b. unless the patient feels painc. if the patient doesnt take medicine d. after he has examined the patient53. the underlined part means “_”. a. he wasnt a healthy man b. he was feeling better than ever c. he was feeling worse than before d. he will be well again54. from the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man _before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day. a. didnt smoke b. didnt smoke so muchc. was a heavy smoker d. began to learn to smoke55. which of the following is not true? a. the doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill. b. the man didnt follow the doctors advice. c. the man thanked the doctor. d. the man told the doctor he couldnt remember things.b shopping is not as simple as you may think! there are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand(商标) of product （产品）on the shelf.colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers（生产者） are trying to sell. health foods are packaged（包装）in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.when some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white packageblue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.the size of a product can attract a shopper. but quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to.it is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!the most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product. the founder of pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “any fool（傻子）can make soap, but it takes a genius（天才）to sell it.”56which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?a. the cost of its package. b. the colour of its package.c. the price of the product. d. the brand name of the product.57which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?a. the way to promote goods. b. the discovery of a genius.c. the team to produce a good product. d. the brand name used by successful producers.58according to the passage, which of the following statement is true?a. making soap is so easy that any fool in the world can make it.b. greens, yellows or silver are considered to be healthy colours.c. the size of a product can have an effect on the shoppers.d. 25 years ago, the founder of pears soap was a pretty girl herself.59which of the following would be the best title for this text?a. effect of packaging on shopping b. disadvantages of productsc. choice of good products d. brand names and shopping tricksc. new research shows sheep are clever people often make jokes about how dull sheep are, but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think. researchers at the university of cambridge discovered that welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals（等同于）rodents (啮齿动物). tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead. young fish prefer noisy neighborsa new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs with noisy neighbors! researchers from the universities of auckland and bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live. the scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. the young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, complete with noisy animals! the scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!butterflies are disappearing a new study has shown that 17 species (物种) of butterfly found in europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years. the information collected from 3,000 sites across 15 countries shows it may be caused by the loss (减少) of grasslands covered with flowers. you can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers. 60. what is the passage mainly about?

a. nature. b. culture.c. travel. d. geography.d knowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student. by using your time properly, you can do your homework more quickly. learning to study is not difficult.the first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. it doesnt mean that you must always like the subject. it does mean, however, that you must be willing to do whatever is necessary to learn. try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things. knowing mathematics facts will be useful in your whole life. knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier. sometimes a subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly. learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.heres some advice for you: have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can concentrate(集中精力) on your study without interruptions(中断)； have everything ready before you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books； be sure you understand what you should learn before you start；read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things；when memorizing（记忆）, first find out the main parts and then recite(背诵) the whole thing；check your homework after you finish it；never forget the importance of review(复习) and preview（预习）.64. the main purpose of the article is_a. to prove that learning is not difficult b. to make the readers interested in studyc. to tell the students how to study well d. to tell the importance of self teaching65. we learn things because_a. our parents want us to learn b. we may use these things in the futurec. every student learns at school d. we like the subjects66. which of the following is not the advice given in the article?a. to put a pen, paper and books beside you before study.b. to pay attention to the most important things.c. to review and preview. d. to study at any possible time and place. e when i was walking down the street the other day , i happened to notice a small brown leather wallet lying on the sidewalk . i picked it up and opened it to see if i could find out the owners name . there was nothing inside it except some change and an old photographa picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old , who looked like the womans daughter . i put the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station , where i handed it to the desk sergeant . before i left , the sergeant took down my name and address in case the owner might want to write and thank me . that evening i went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle . they had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table . her face was familiar . i was quite sure that we had not met before , but i could not remember where i had seen her . in the course of conversation , however , the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon . all at once i realized where i had seen her . she was the young girl in the photograph , although she was now much older . she
