he went to a laundry owner and asked him the question. the owner said, “this is the month of the rainy season and we have to wash the clothes, dry them off and iron them before handing them over to customers. if the sun doesnt shine, how can we dry our clothes and earn money to pay you back?” ramesh then realized that it was his patience and endurance that kept him going and ultimately helped him achieve success. like ramesh, each one of us should realize that apart from being honest and hard-working, if we can keep our patience, we are inching up the ladder of success. 56. what can we learn about ramesh?a. he didnt like the job of salesman.b. he was confident in his first task.c. his customers were mainly the local laundry owners. d. he accomplished his sales task perfectly within 10 days.57. the laundry owners asked ramesh to come later, because _.a. they felt embarrassed about refusing ramesh directlyb. they didnt want to pay ramesh back at all c. they had to wait for the sun to come out to dry clothes d. they had to save up money to pay for the products they bought58. which of the following best describes ramesh?a. hard-working and patient. b. patient and generous. c. generous and hard-working. d. confident and persuasive.59. according to the passage, which of the following is true?a. june is the start of the rainy season in the southern part of india.b. to sell products, ramesh helped his customers to wash clothes. c. ramesh became the “star performer” for the next three months.d. a minority of customers paid for the products using the money from ramesh.60. what does the author try to tell us?a. plans are everything. b. patience leads to success. c. customers must come first. d. success is one thing; luck is another.b physical fitness refers to good health, and is the result of regular exercise, proper diet and nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery. a person who is physically fit will be able to walk or run without getting breathless and he or she will be able to carry out the activities of everyday living and will not need help. how much each person can do will depend on their age and whether they are a man or woman. a physically fit person usually has a normal weight for height. the relation between height and weight is called the body mass index. a taller person can be heavier and still be fit. if a person is too heavy or too thin for the height it may affect the health. mental health refers to a persons emotional and psychological well-being. “a state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her thinking and emotional(feeling) abilities, function in society, and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life.”one way to think about mental health is by looking at how well a person functions. feeling capable and efficient, being able to handle normal levels of stress, having good friends and family, and leading an independent life, and being able to “bounce back” or recovering from hardships, are all signs of mental health.public health refers to trying to stop a disease that is unhealthy to the community, and does not help in long life or promote your health. this is fixed by organized efforts and choices of society, public and private clubs, communities and individuals.it is about the health of many people, or everybody, rather than one person. public health stops instead of encouraging a disease through surveillance(监督) of cases. to prevent being sick, it is good to do healthy behaviors, such as hand washing, vaccination programs and so on. when infectious diseases break out, washing hands may be especially important. 61. what is the best title of the passage? a.three healthy lives b. importance of health c. something about health d. physical, mental and public health62. what does “body mass index” in paragraph 1 consist of? a. abilities, functions and demands. b. height, weight and their relation. c. exercise, proper diet and nutrition. d. recovery, independence and relation.63. what are the signs of mental health? a. living an independent life and suffer from hardships. b. reducing normal levels of stress and handle “bounce back”. c. living an independent life and own good friends and family. d. increasing emotional demands and psychological well-being.64. once bird flu takes place, that refers to _. a. the problem of public health b. the problem of mental health c. the problem of physical health d. the importance of washing hands.65. what can promote your body health according to the passage? a. family, society and individuals. b. regular exercise, proper diet and nutrition. c. private clubs, communities and individuals. d. hand washing, vaccination and other healthy behaviors.cthe oil from palms (棕榈) has a wide variety of uses and is found in food, soaps and shampoos. an international team found a gene that made some of the trees produce more oil than others.dr rajinder singh, from government agency the malaysian palm oil board, said, “the oil palm has three fruit forms: a thick-shelled type the dura; those that dont have any shellthe pisifera; a third form produced as a cross between the thick shell and the one without the shellthe tenera, which are more of the fleshy fruit to produce the oil,” and the researchers identified the gene producing this trait.while oil palm growers attempt to grow only the thin-shelled tenera variety, up to 10% of the seeds can be contaminated (污染的), and turn out to be the other less oily plants. prof. martienssen, from the cold spring harbour laboratory, said, “we can now use that gene in genetic testing, which will allow growers as well as producers to know exactly what sort of tree they are planting before it produces fruit. it takes a long time for these trees to produce fruit, but by being able to predict exactly what sort of fruit that trees will produce, it will greatly assist growers.”the researchers say this could offer a more sustainable form of agriculture
