the record for his age during a charity bodybuilding (健美) event by the ms therapy centre, which collects money to offer care and support for sick people. before his attempt, the record for a 12-year-old was set by an american kid.kyle started kickboxing (跆拳道) when he was four years old and became a black belt by the age of nine. he began weightlifting at the age of ten. when he is not

bodybuilder like my dad. people may think ive been pushed into weightlifting, but i wouldnt do anything i didnt want to do, i do this because i love it.”a former professional bodybuilder, john, 44, who has been weightlifting since he was 18, said, “i give it a year and kyle will have beaten my record. his strength for his age is just amazing. the first time i realized just how strong kyle

twenty years of hard work gained me nothing in the end. i wasnt alone, but that was no excuse. i was angry with myself because i should have known better. i should have been more careful and i shouldnt have listened to the so-called expert.then one day something happened. it started with a thought: whats the worst that can happen? so i dont get to retire young. so i work until i drop. so

lost and more. not in the the stock market, but by working, by finding tough problems for my company and customers and solving them. in taking smart risks on good opportunities, i learned, in times of crisis, what makes certain people able to gain wishes for the future and what gives them the courage to face their fear and anxiety, to put everything on the line and go for it.i think its primarily

around 8 p.m., july 26,2010,a citizen called lu shan spotted this special phenomenon in leshan, sichuan: three unidentified (未确认的) and bright objects appeared in the sky above “jade international” building, and then disappeared all together after 10 more minutes.the phenomenon caught a lot of attention of some experts and leshan citizens. on august 3, professor wang sichao from the purple mountain observatory of the chinese academy of sciences said, the objects still need to be identified. luckily, lu shan took some photos of it. he described, the objects first lit up the sky in the west, but lasted for about 10 minutes. then they moved slowly at a speed of 1 meter per minute to the north, and became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.“it was like a sunset before they faded, and their light also became so gentle as the sunset.” some citizens doubted they were ufos, but lu shan thought it was possibly caused by the refraction (折射) of the sunlight. however, lu found no scientific proof to support this special phenomenon after comparing with his photos. according to professor wang sichao, it could be the “sun dog (幻日)” which is an atmospheric phenomenon that creates bright spots of light in the sky, often in a bright ring or halo on either side of the sun. but he also added the sky above leshan city that night did not satisfy the conditions to have “sun dog”.“sun dog” usually happens in cold areas, such as the north and south poles of the earth.“so this phenomenon was strange,” said wang sichao. wang also stated hes only able to confirm the identity of the objects after collecting and analyzing more information and photos snapped (快拍) from different locations and then decide on a more scientific explanation.66. what is the text mainly about?()a. what is “sun dog”? b. wang sichao discovered three suns.c. three suns shine in leshan, sichuan. d. lu shan found three sun dogs in leshan.67. according to this passage, who took some photos of the three suns?()a. wang sichao. b. some citizens of leshan.c. not mentioned in the passage. d. lu shan.68. which of the following descriptions of the three suns in leshan is false?()a. they first lit up the sky and lasted for about 10 minutes.b. at first they gave off the same bright light as the real sun.c. they became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.d. their light also became so gentle as the sunset.69.the underlined word “halo” in paragraph 4 probably means .a.斑点,污点 b.区域,面积 c.光环,灵光 d.曲线,弓形70.from the last paragraph, we can learn that .a. there has been no clear answer to this special phenomenon in leshanb. the three suns are the “sun dog”c. there must be three suns in the universed. “sun dog” usually happens in hot areas (d)wine drinkers tend to buy healthier food than beer drinkers, according to a danish study published on tuesday on the website of a weekly medical magazine. people who bought wine at the store were also more likely to buy fruit, vegetables, fish, lean meat (瘦肉) and milk than beer buyers did, said the study.beer buyers were more likely to buy frozen dinners, cold cuts, pork, sugary products, and soft drinks.the study was conducted by four researchers from the national institute of public health over the course of six months.alcohol researchers erik schulenburg and marten greenback and two other doctors collected 3.5 million receipts from 98 stores. the customers at the stores represented a large number of danish people, they said.“our results confirm international studies which show that wine drinkers tend to eat more fruit, vegetables and fish and rarely eat fats, compared to those who like other kinds of alcoholic drinks,” they concluded.wine buyers also tended to have higher education levels, higher earnings and be in better mental health, they added.their interest in consumers shopping bags followed a series of studies in the danish media. the studies suggested that wine drinkers ran a lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and types of cancer than beer drinkers.71.the passage mainly tells us that wine drinkers .a.eat more vegetables than beer drinkersb. usually buy healthier foo
