suddenly the young ones began to shout at her. the travellers face turned red and she apologized to the head for what she was doing, and told him she had forgotten that people in some places believed a person would lose his soul(灵魂) if his picture was taken. she explained to him the operation of a camera for a long time. several times the head tried to say something, but he couldnt. when she believed that the head didnt fear any longer, the traveller then let him speak. with a smile, he said, the children were trying to tell you that you forgot to take off the lens(镜头) cap! 56. the children shouted when the traveller was taking pictures of them because _. a. they didnt want to stop playing b. the traveller forgot to take off the cap on her headc. they didnt want to have their

that the travellers camera would hurt the children.d. the traveller didnt understand why the children shouted.b everyone wants some degree of success. many people believe that they deserve success simply because they believe that they deserve success.but there is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential (有影响的) friends or the right background. sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. i once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted to production manager. instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors (上司). this injustice discouraged the young engineer and many of her colleagues. it also meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.at the same time, we should not be pessimistic (悲观的). more and more the modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. there is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. he examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. the machine started up immediately. when he presented his bill, the owner protested, this cant be right! $ 100 just for tapping a machine with a hammer? the engineer wrote out a new bill: for tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap. $99.60. the engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because _.a. it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the manb. her boss did not think she had the fight qualifications for the jobc. the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she wasd. it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague61. the engineer who repaired the machine was right in charging $ 100 because_. a. he hit the machine to get it started againb. the factory owner could not have repaired it himselfc. he was charging for his knowledge and expert skillsd. he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it62. what can we learn about the authors attitude toward the widespread belief that people get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it?a. he quite agrees with it. b. he doesnt express his opinion his opinion at it.c. he completely disagrees with it. d. he doesnt quite agree with it.63. according to the text, which of the following is not true?a. having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes.b. the engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.c. not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted. d. those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society.c popeye the sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.the sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. people watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! spinach became a necessary part of many peoples diets. even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.many people thought that the iron in spinach made popeye strong, but this is not true. spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.people only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. in the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. this group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. the group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. however, spinach does have something else which the body needsfolic acid.it is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. maybe it was really the folic acid that made popeye strong all along. 64. why did many people eat spinach after they saw popeye the sailor?a. they thought spinach made them strong.b. they thought popeye was funny.c. spinach had a lot of iron. d. people liked folic acid.65. a research group told people that spinach_.a. made popeye strong b. was a green vegetablec. had less iron than other green vegetablesd. had more iron than other green vegetables66. the reading passage says that perhaps popeye got his strength from_.a. ironb. folic acidc. spinachd. exercise67. folic acid is _.a. something in food b. a vegetable c. dangerousd. a certain kind of spinachd body and foodyour body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).the old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think. the body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin c. many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.but a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. the body doesnt need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?in the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. they throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. the list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening,68. “your body has close relations with the food you eat.” it really means that _.a. all kinds of food you eat can be made into your bodyb. your body is made up of the food you eat c. what you eat has great effect on your healthd. the more you eat, the fitter you will feel69. the old saying referred to in the passage tells us that _.a. eating apples regularly does lots of good to our healthb. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruitsc. apples can take the place of doctorsd. an apple is a sure cure for illness 70. in the modern western countries _.a. people dont want to pay more attention to their eatingb. lots of peoples illnesses are caused or made worse by bad eating habitsc. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewingd. people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves 71. from the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy,we should _.a. only eat an apple a day b. eat properlyc. take as many vitamin pills as possibled. throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefullyeamerican and british use different greetings. in the usa the commonest greeting is “hi”. in britain it is “hello！” or “how are you？”. “hi！” is creeping(不知不觉的)into british, too. when they are introduced to someone, the americans say, “glad to know you.” the british say, “how do you do？” or “pleased to meet you.” when americans say “goodbye”， they nearly always add, “have a good day，” or “have a good trip，” etc. to friends and strangers alike. britons are already beginning to use “have a good day”。the british usually use “got”in the sense of “have”. the americans hardly ever do.am.e: do you have a car, room，etc.？yes, i do.br.e: have you got a car, room, etc.? yes, i have.finally, there are a number of differences between american and british english in the spelling of words, eg.check(us)/cheque(uk); center(us)/centre(uk). many american words ending in “or”， eg. honor, vigor, labor are spelt in british english with an “our”， eg. honour, vigour, labour. many verbs in american english with “ize”or “izing” forms, eg. organize, realizing are spelt in br.e “ise”or “ising”，anise，realising.in american english, “practice”is used both for the verb and noun.in br.e, the verb is spelt “practise”， and the noun “practice”. in the main, american english avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母)in nouns and verbs while british english does not.in american english, for example, one writes “travel, traveled, traveling, traveler，” while in british english, one writes “travel, travelled, travelling, traveller”it was once predicted that british and american english would became separate languages finally. but the opposite has happened. the links(连接)between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上的), and probably culturally(文化上的)too, they are closer together than ever.72the americans hardly say_.agoodbye.have a good day! bglad to know you!chi! dhave you got a car?73a british writes_.acheque；center bhonor；organisectraveled；practice dlabour；traveller74what does the fifth paragraph talk about?athere are lots of differences in spelling between
