enough courage to enterhe was warmly greeted by a young assistant. james felt a rush blood to his face as he explained he would bring in his future wife to choose a birthday presentthe assistant listened carefully and told him hed better buy a necklace. he wasnt used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending. after some discussion as to reasonable price and type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. at last james chose one and left the shop promising to return at five oclock. when, half an hour later, james did return to the shop with his future wife, laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. when she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose and then gave them the one she had prepared. a choice was soon made and they went away, satisfied. james would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.56a good title for this passage

knew how to satisfy the people who came to buy thingsd. the assistant who served james was very beautifulbamerican author mark twain once noted that “life would be surely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” twains words were only one of many complaints about aging. the ancient greek poet homer called old age “hateful”, and william shakespeare termed it “terrible winter”. alexander the great, who conquered most of the known world before he died around 323 b.c., may have been looking for a river that healed the ravages of age. during the 12th century a.d., a king called prester john ruled a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth. but the name linked most closely to the search for a fountain of youth is 16th-century spanish explorer juan ponce de leon. he thought it would be found in florida. in st. augustine, the oldest city in the u.s., theres a tourist attraction. it is said to be the fountain of youth that ponce de leon discovered soon after he arrived in what is now florida in 1513. however, elderly visitors who drink the springs water dont turn into teenagers. but the tale of the search for a fountain of youth is so appealing that it survives anyway, says ryan k. smith, a professor of history. “people are more attracted by the story of looking and not finding than they are by the idea that the fountain might be out there somewhere.” still, a few grains of truth have helped to support the story. kathleen deagan, a professor of archaeology, says a graveyard and the remains of a spanish mission dating back to st. augustines founding in 1565 have been discovered near the so-called fountain of youth. michelle reyna, a spokesperson for the fountain of youth archaeological park in st. augustine, says the fountain has been a tourist attraction since at least 1901 and may have been attracting visitors since 1860. 61according to the passage, who searched for a fountain of youth? a. ponce de leon b. william shakespeare. c. kathleen deagan d. michelle reyna 62what does the underlined word “ravages” in the second paragraph probably mean? a. growth. b. limits. c. damages. d. benefits. 63what is the attitude of people towards the fountain of youth? a. people find much pleasure in looking for it. b. people believe the existence of it somewhere. c. people have no interest in searching for it. d. people consider the idea of the fountain of youth absurd. 64the passage mainly tells us _. a. how the fountain of youth came into being b. why some famous people hate becoming old c. how to remain young forever d. whether the fountain of youth exists 65which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the underlined words “the story” refers to alexander the great ruling a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.b. augustine, which is the oldest city in the u.s, lies in florida. c. some elderly visitors find themselves younger after drinking the water from the fountain of youth. d. kathleen deagan is the spokesperson for the fountain of youth archaeological park. cwanted, someone for a kisswere looking for producers to join us on the sound of london kiss 100 fm.

they thought they had.given that i teach students who are trained to be doctors, i was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “what kind of help is that?” i asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“surgery（外科手术）”, one replied. i was pretty alarmed by that response. it seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. one girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “they break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows. you can get at least 5 cm taller!”at that point, i was shocked. i am short. i cant deny that, but i dont think i would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller. i dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as im not trying to hide the fact that i am just not tall!it seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.no one is born perfect, yet magazines, tv shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm（标准）. advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. in my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.71we can know from the passage that the author works as _.a. a professor b. a model c. a teacher d. a
