Often they worried about their car because the bank would take it if they didnt pay for it on time.One day, Rose found a wallet containing a credit card, an airline ticket to New York and $2,394 in cash at a shopping center in Los Angeles.“For a second I thought about taking the money,” she said later. “But only for a second.” Instead, she took the wallet and its contents to the nearest police station, where a man was asking for help. He wanted to get his wallet back. In return for her honesty, Rose and her husband received more than ten job offers and an apartment rent-free for six months.

So when we make another decision for the coming year to lose those 20 or 30 pounds, we can only wonder: Is there a better way to diet?Yes, say a growing group of scientists and experts. The old advice obviously isnt working. Fat isnt the only crime. Filling up on rice and bread isnt a solution. They argue that, among other things: sugar and white food, like bread, rice and potatoes, are diet destroyers. A diet that stresses meat and eggs but cuts out sugar and simple carbohydrates (碳水化合物) is more successful at helping people lose weight because they feel satisfied longer and wont be eager to fill up on snack food (点心). Fat isnt all bad. The simple message to lower (降低) fat ignores some important facts: Fat is necessary for the body to function correctly. There are good fats and bad fats. If not eaten too much, fat can actually help you diet because it makes food taste better and helps you feel full longer. 56. The traditional rules tell people _.A. that losing weight is dangerousB. not to make a new decisionC. that eating fat is dangerousD. not to eat too much bread57. While people are following the old advice, they wish to know whether _.A. fat makes themselves fatB. there is a better way to dietC. there is something dangerous in fatD. fat causes heart attacks58. A growing group of experts suggest that people should have a bit more _ for their health.A. fat B. sugarC. snack foodD. carbohydrate59. Meat and eggs are considered good for dieting because _.A. they help to lower fatB. they help people feel full longer C. they are important to peoples healthD. they are necessary for the body to function60. The purpose of this essay is to inform people that _.A. fat puts people at riskB. fat makes you fatC. fat causes illnessesD. fat isnt all badPassage ThreeBack in 1912, chocolate maker Charlie Johnson had a problem. His chocolate didnt ship well in hot weather, so candy stores ordered almost none between June and September. To stay in business, Charlie decided to develop a summer line: hard candy mints (薄荷糖).Charlies factory wasnt set up for making hard candy, so he hired a pill producer for the job. Most candies at the time were square and pillow-shapedand expensive to produce. So Charlie ordered his flat and round, with a hole in the middle, to be different.“They look like little life-savers,” Charlie said. Suddenly, the mints had a name.Still, for Charlie the candies were only a sideline. When New York advertisement salesman John Tailor tried to persuade him to advertise the unique mints, Charlie wasnt interested.“You would make a lot of money!” John said excitedly.“Do you think so?” Charlie replied. “Then you buy the brand.” For $2,900, John bought the brandand went to work.“Why sell only in candy shops?” The salesman asked himself. He persuaded drugstores and restaurants to put the mints near the cash register (收款机) with a big five-cent card. “Be sure every customer gets a nickel (5美分镍币) with his change,” he told them.His marketing idea worked. Customers threw their nickels to the clerks to get a little roll of the candy mints. From then on, Life Savers familiar little roll became one of the worlds best-selling candies. 61. Charlies problem during summer was that _. A. he couldnt produce chocolateB. he could only produce chocolate C. he couldnt sell chocolate D. he could only sell chocolate62.

John put the candy near the cash registerD. John bought the brand at a high pricePassage FourA computer is a machine. It handles a lot of information. Many people use computers to help them work better. Unfortunately, many computers are often hurt by virus. A computer virus is a set of bad instructions written just to hurt computers.The virus is made by someone and sent to computers. It is set to turn on by itself.

When the computers are invaded (攻击) by a virus, some people have to turn off their computers; others have to stop their computers from being connected to other computers.
