He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite excited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in London. Mrs. Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. To his regret, he lost it at the station.On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The womans umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said good-bye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.“Wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “Thats my umbrella!”Now Mr. Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. His face turned red at once and said in a hurry, “Oh, Im very sorry, Madam! I didnt mean it!”Seven days later Mr. Brown left the capital.

He has told you to quit smoking, lose weight, exercise daily and cut down on the beer and bacon all very difficult and unpleasant tasks.But theres another way to keep your blood pressure low, which might be the easiest method of all: Be part of a happy couple. (Though come to think of it, it could also be the hardest.)In a recent study from Brigham Young University, researchers investigated the blood pressure of 99 single and 204 married adults over a 24-hour period, after asking them questions about the quality of their relationships with both partners and friends. According to their findings, men and women who feel satisfied and happy in their marriages have lower blood pressure than single people, no matter how many friends they have.“They seem to benefit from marriage,” the studys author, Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad said in a statement. “Its not just being married that benefits health. The most protective of health is having a happy marriage.”Its true: The study participants who said their partners made them miserable had higher blood pressure than both the happy couples and the single people. So if you dont get along well with your partner, too much time with him or her may actually raise your blood pressure. On the other hand, if youre lucky enough to be living comfortably, you can take advantages in the fact that your partner is helping your health.61. may be a cause of high blood pressure.A. Doing exercises every morningB. Quitting smokingC. Drinking too much beer frequentlyD. Controlling your weight62. What is the possible meaning of the underlined sentence?A.

From the study we learn that .A. if you have many friends, you will have low blood pressureB. if you have a happy family, you will keep your blood pressure lowC. it is smoking that keeps your blood pressure lowD. staying with a friend will make your blood pressure high64. will have high blood pressure according to the passage.A. A person who is losing weightB. A wife from a happy familyC. A husband who loves his wife very muchD. A person who likes eating more bacon for breakfast65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How to keep your body healthy. B. How to keep your blood pressure low.C. How to get along well with others. D. How to make your family happyCAs a child, hopelessly unsporty, Rosie Pope never made the hockey (曲棍球) team. But at the age of 57,in 2020, she ran around the world.Setting off from home in Tenby，she returned four years, 10 months later，having run 20,000 miles through Europe, Siberia，Alaska，Canada，America，Greenland and Iceland. Moreover，she did it alone with a small cart of food and equipment - running with it through the frozen wastes of Siberia and the streets of New York.Now Pope is at it again: she has just completed 26 marathons in 26 days. If I can start out again at 63 and feel like 36，then anyone can，because I dont think Im a superwoman. Im a very ordinary person,” she said.Pope spent her early childhood in remote County Limerick in Ireland with her grandmother after her mother died when she was two. Her father also died at the age of 47.Pope didnt go to school regularly until she was 13;she was encouraged, instead, to spend her time outside, learning about the natural world. But it was her first husband, Colin Swale, a fearless sailor, who introduced her to the world of extreme adventure. In 1973 they became the first to go around Cape Horn in a catamaran(双体船).And in 1983, after they separated, Pope went on to sail across the Atlantic alone. After discovering running at 47, she spent her fifties completing a series of marathons in far-away places.But it was the death of her second husband, Clive, a businessman and photographer, from cancer, that triggered(引发)her biggest challenge so far.She had been thinking of running for cancer awareness, when “something broke through my grief as I was looking at a world map on the wall. I thought I could do this.”Pope is now a motivational speaker. “Running around the world, or going to the moon or whatever, is only a metaphor(比喻),” she says. “The most extraordinary（特别的）adventure is every day of your life.”66. When Rosie Pope was a child, she_.A. was too weak to take part in any sportB. didnt receive any education at schoolC didnt show any talent for sportD. was encouraged to teach herself at home67. When did Rosie Pope run around the world?A. At the age of 57. B. Around the age of 50.C. When she was 63. D. In the year 1983.68. Popes second husbands death caused her to_.A. gain more confidence in herself B. pay more attention to catamaran.C. sail across the Atlantic alone D. run all the way around the world69. We can learn from the last paragraph that_.A. Pope doesnt care about cancer at allB. maps have helped Pope to sail the worldC. our real adventure exists in everyday lifeD. Pope hopes to help others by using her experience70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It is never too late to take on a real challenge.B. Pope is a wonderful speaker,thanks to her experience.C. Nothing is impossible.D. How a woman is able to run a marathon at 63.DAt the very beginning, the earths surface layer（层）was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks. Then slowly, there rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebbles（卵石）and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and crack（裂缝）in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.The moving water of streams and rivers also help to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones. Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.71. After reading the passage, we know that soil _.A. forms very slowly B. is a mixture of stones, pebbles and sandC. makes up the layers of the earth D. is becoming smaller and smaller72. How many ways can help rock break into small pieces?A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. More th
