They read newspapers at 51 ; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on the 52 as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they read an evening 53 .There are many daily newspapers in 54 . All the nine national daily newspapers are 55 in London, and all appear every 56 except on Sundays. Most sell more than a million 57 a day and cost about three pence each. 58 the daily newspapers, there are a number of Sunday newspapers, many of which are 59 with the “dailies”. The Sunday papers are larger than the daily papers and are usually read for their 60 and other special long articles rather than their news reports.Of all the “morning papers”, the most 61 is The Times, which is not a government newspaper. The various newspapers usually have their own views on politics, 62 they are not organs (机构) of the political parties, 63 the Communist Morning Star. It is free for a newspaper to say exactly what it 64 about anybody or anything, though, of course, 65 newspapers are responsible for what they publish.However, it is true of some British papers, especially the Sunday papers, that in order to 66 more readers they have become vulgar (庸俗的). The main headlines have nothing to do with 67 news at all. And there are a few, especially The Times, the Guardian and the Observer, which are of the greatest importance in both guiding and expressing the free 68 of very important people.Nearly all papers pay special attention to the 69 of sports and games. The evening newspapers are often bought because the reader wants to know the winner of a race, or to get a good trip for a 70 that is still to be run.51. A. schoolB. breakfastC. lunchD. supper52.

It isnt that our friends are all very busy; it is just that we havent got a television. People think that we are very strange. “But what do you do in the evening?” they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly dont spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and Im always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess togetherSometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us; we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost-no television! -So they dont know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full; they all come to us. They all have a good time.

We Go Without Televisions!(C)When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arms length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts(白内障) and remove them.When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.79.We dont know that our eyes are of great importance until _.A. we think about our eyesB. we cannot see clearlyC. we wear glassesD. we have to do much reading80.According to the passage, a _ is more likely to be nearsighted.A. tailor B. doctor C. guard D. painter81.People who are farsighted _ .A. cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB. can only see things that are very close to their eyesC. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arms lengthD. have the same problem as the nearsighted people82.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look _ .A. with wide open eyesB. with half shut or narrowed eyesC. straight at itD. in a slightly different direction(D)Whats your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember the first time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.A variety of explanations have been proposed by psychologists for this childhood amnesia(记忆缺失,健忘).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains (主张) that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they dont find any that fit the pattern. Its like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.Now psychologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply arent any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone elses spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent l
