C Yogiraj Bikram Choudhury has set up Yoga College of India. Born in Calcutta in 1946, Choudhury began yoga at the age of four with Indias most famous physical culturist Bishnu Ghosh. Choudhury practiced yoga at least four to six hours every day at Ghoshs College of Physical Education in Calcutta. In 1959, he won the National India Yoga Championship (冠军). At fourteen, he called himself Yogi Raj(King of the Yogis). At seventeen, his knee was injured (受伤的) during a weight-lifting accident and his leading European doctors predicted that he would never walk again. Not believing them, he went back to Bishnu Ghoshs school, for he knew that his teacher Ghosh could help to cure his knee. Six months later, his knee had completely recovered. Ghosh was the first to use yoga to cure long-term physical illnesses and cure the body. Choudhury was asked by Ghosh to start several yoga schools in India. The schools were so successful that, at Ghoshs request, Choudhury traveled to Japan and opened two more. Combining (结合) eastern training methods and western medicine, Choudhury perfected his yoga system, which he said was suitable for all ages and all levels of fitness. Choudhury arrived in the United States in 1973 at the invitation of President Nixon. He quickly became a famous yoga teacher in the West, as celebrities (名人), athletes and others began to flock to his school. Since that time he has been teaching thousands of students at his school in Los Angeles and traveling the world, spreading the philosophy (哲学) and practice of Bikram yoga to millions of students around the world.63. Choudhury insisted on going to Bishnu Ghoshs school when his knee was injured because _.A. his leading doctors were thereB. he wanted to have a good rest C. he wanted to teach yoga to studentsD. he believed his teacher could help him64. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. People recognized Choudhury as Yogi Raj. B. Bishnu Ghosh doesnt believe in western medicine.C. Choudhury was the first man to use yoga to cure physical illnesses.D. Choudhury won the National India Yoga Championship when he was 13.65. What does the underlined word flock mean in the last paragraph? A. Skip. B. Gather. C. Devote. D. Donate.66. From this passage we can infer that _. A. people whose knee is injured should not practice yogaB. most American presidents have practiced yogaC. Ghosh offered a lot of guidance to Choudhury on his career D. Choudhury is much more famous in the West than in the East D In the past, degrees (学位) were very unusual. I remember the day when my uncle graduated, and we had a huge party. For many years my mother called him the genius. Today, five of my brothers and sisters have degrees. However, today some people think this increased chances of education is devaluing (使贬值) degrees. In this essay, I will discuss whether further education is important. People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also thought that education has become a rat race, with many graduates competing for the same job. Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible (不灵活的). Employers prefer more flexible workers. However, I feel strongly that having more education is a positive development. In the past education was the only way to be rich and powerful. Now almost everyone has a chance to receive education, and this will have many advantages for the country and the people. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas much more easily. A further point is that people with degrees have much more opportunities. They can take more kinds of jobs and do what they enjoy doing. In conclusion, although there are some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress when all the people are educated.67. The underlined words in Paragraph 2 are closest in meaning to _.A. ability B. competition C. necessity D. Achievement68. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. People couldnt discuss or exchange ideas well in the past.B. The author believes it is possible to be overeducated.C. The author thinks degrees can help people take more jobs. D. People can do whatever they enjoy doing today.69. The author mainly wants to tell us that _. A. increased chance to education is devaluing degreesB. people have different opinions on the need for degreesC. studying leads to learners becoming inflexibleD. education is necessary for the development of the country70.

The best choice for a mother is carnations (康乃馨), especially the red, yellow and pink ones. You dont need to give her roses on Mothers Day.
