His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that were bright like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a smile. He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.” Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying(扶稳) him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.” “You are welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. Ill be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me! ” After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!” He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!” When Mary went to clean his table, she was surprised. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin餐巾纸, under which was a $100 bill. The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness.

Fifty-eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many wayseducation, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different societyone in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A persons age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. Theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as it used to be. It doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age. ”No one says “Act your age” any more. Weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.63. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _.A. has made people feel younger B. has changed peoples social positionC. has changed peoples understanding of ageD. has slowed down the countrys social development64.

America C. a placeD. population65. “Act your age” means people should _.A. be active when they are old B. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect for their parents young or old D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age66. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _.A. unbelievableB. wonderful C.normal D. unreasonable DDo you love the holidays, but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. Whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner, you should regard eating as a chance for tasting a variety of foods. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You dont have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining/keeping physical fitness: Dont skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods. Control amount of food. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “load up”. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. Once you have your “tasting” serving, move away from the buffet (自助餐). This helps to prevent eating again and again as your appetite (胃口) is inspired by the sight of food. Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full. Stick to physical activity. Dont let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help to burn off excess calories. Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. Choose lean meat (瘦肉). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.67.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. You should never eat delicious foods.B. Drinking some water or soup before eating helps you to eat less.C. Holidays are happy days but they may bring you weight problems.D. Physical exercise can reduce the chance of putting on weight.68. Which of the following can NOT help people to lose weight according to the passage?A. Eating lean meat. B. Creamy food.C. Eating raw fruit or vegetables. D. Physical exercise.69. Many people cant control their weight during the holidays mainly because they _.A. cant
