even children are getting overweight. today some of the newborn babies are also born fat. it has been proved that the people living in the developed western countries are more likely to become overweight. there are a number of causes behind this.the people in the developed countries including the united states almost enjoy all the comforts of life. almost all the things in the lives of the people living in these countries are at their fingertips. a very limited amount of movement and physical effort is required to do any kind of job. because of the fact that these countries are quite developed，most of the jobs that the people take up are desk jobs. so the lifestyle of them is just around the office desk. most of the developed western countries are cold ones. nature demands that people eat the food that can somehow make them stand the coldness. therefore，wine，fatty dairy products，bread，junk food and red meat become an important diet in these countries.however，the blame cannot be entirely put on the unhealthy eating habits of the people. technology allows them to import almost all the food products that they do not grow. although some healthy food are grown in the countries nowadays，the quantity is very limited. it is not enough to meet the demand. so when they are not available and fatty foods are cheaper，then people prefer to go for the eating habit that they have always been following.51. according to paragraph 2, most people in the developed countries do _ jobs.a. physical b. management c. desk d. tiring52. the underlined word in paragraph 4 refers to_.a. the

protect themselves from the cold (b)have you ever had the desire to wander the world and see what was out there? while some people prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home, others been bitten by the travel bug and cant wait to explore the world. exotic(异国的) places call to them. “come to visit us and we will show you my mysteries，” they say.every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and flock to visit the seven continents of the world. they wander through the castles and museums of europe, and the cities and natural of north and south america. some visit the vast exotic cultures of asia, africa and the middle east. the great outback of australia is a wonderland for those who go there. and a few lucky people even realize their dreams to visit the most mysterious continent on the earthantarctic.why do people want to explore the world? it gives them a better understanding about the earth and the people living on it. it opens their minds, it gives them a feeling of accomplishment, and it makes them feel alive. so save some money, get your passport ready, and see the world. it will change your life forever.55. if a person is bitten by a travel

miller(19152005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. millers father had moved to the usa from austria-hungary，drawn like so many others by the “great american dream”. however，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the great depression of the early 1930s.millers most famous play，death of a salesman，is a powerful attack on the american system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. in willy loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he cant do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the wagner company，and he must go. willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. he refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.when it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews，and it won the tony award for best play，the new york drama critics circle award，and the pulitzer prize for drama. it was the first play to win all three of these major awards.miller died of heart failure at his home in roxbury，connecticut，on the evening of february 10,2005，the 56th anniversary of the first performance of death of a salesman on broadway.59. why did arthur millers father move to the usa?a. he suffered from severe hunger in his home country.b. he was attracted by the “great american dream”. c. he hoped to make his son a dramatist.d. his family business failed.60. what can we learn about willy loman?a. he treats his employer badly.b. he runs the wagner company.c. he is a victim of the american

best-known play.(d)most of the movies show our relationships and our society. whats more important is that people love to watch highs and lows of the relationships in movies. friendship has been the favorite subject of movie makers for a long time. many movies are based on lovely relationships like friendship. friendship can be between two persons or among more than two persons. movies based on friendship make us remember that the relationship among friends is delicate (需要小心处理的). these movies also show how important it is to have a true friend in life and to own the friendship.friendship is described in different ways in movies. these movies show different faces of this lovely relationship including the pleasant and interesting faces .let us discuss how friendship is described in movies.friends make sacrifices (牺牲): in most of the movies，friends make sacrifices for each other. a good example is “sholay”. in this movie，there are two friends jay and veeru who are there for each other till death. jay sacrifices his life to save his friend.friends never run away from difficulties: in movies，it is always shown that true friends always stand up for their friends in times of

born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. there are too many people，however，who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. in my opinion，its a waste of time. i dont mean that we should do nothing about it；quite the contrary，i think we need to separate the basic fact of shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.look at one of the most famous shy people of them all，johnny carson. this man is painfully shy，yet for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往)with different people every night，in front of a national audience. carson has never done away with his shyness，but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be，not just a talk show host，but a legend(传奇) among talk show hosts. look also at sally fields，who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. this is a woman who has appeared in many films，tv shows and interviews，yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from jane fonda because she
