Thats the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower（降低）among those who ate at least an ounce（盎司）of salt water fish per day compared with those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits（好处）, especially to the heart.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next 20 years, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly（经常）ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of （不管）other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels.51.

For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested(逮捕) for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Jessicas father said with anger. “Your family history isnt so good. You know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes(罪行)?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors (祖先) arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked, I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing(熨) clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark and a bundle of(一捆) white bones fell to the floor. Jessicas mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.55.

In the harbor sits Denmarks best-known landmark（地标）: the Little Mermaid. Remember her? She left the world of the Sea People in search of a human soul in one of Hans Christian Andersens beloved fantasies(幻想). From the harbor you can get a feel for the attractive “city of green spires（尖塔）.” At twilight or in cloudy weather, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches lend the city a dream-like atmosphere（氛围）. Youll think youve stepped into a watercolor painting.Churches and castles are almost all that remain of the original city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. During the late 16th century, trade grew, and so did the city. But the fires in 1728 and 1795 destroyed the old wooden structures. Much of what we see today dates from the 19th and early 20th centuries.See one of the spires up closereally close at the 17th-century Church of Our Savior. Brave souls may climb the 150 stairs winding outside the spire to its top. If youre afraid of heights, or if it is a windy day, you can forget the climb. But then youll miss the magnificent (壮丽的) view.To see them having fun, and to have some fun yourself, cross Andersens Boulevard and enter Tivoli Gardens. You wont be alone. More than five million people a year come here. They come to dance, dine, take in outdoor and indoor concerts, see ballets and laugh at the comedy. One tip: Bring a lot of money. About 20 restaurants are among the citys most expensive. Even without money, you can still enjoy the proud old trees, the colored night lights and the beautiful gardens. You might fell as if you are in a fairy tale.63. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage?A. To advertise a place of interest B. To do research in the city.C. To introduce the cityCopenhagen. D. Only to make the readers laugh.64. Why is Copenhagen sure to change your mindthat you are too old for fairy tales?A. The Little Mermaid is Denmarks best-known landmark.B. Copenhagen is a city of green spires and wooden buildings that often appears in fairy tales.C. Copenhagen is like a dream-like watercolor painting.D. Copenhagen is a city where you find yourself in a fairy atmosphere.65. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The Little Mermaid is a character（人物）in one of Hans Christian Andersens fantasies.B. The 17th-century Church of Our Savior is high.C. The Little Mermaid is a real person in Denmark.D. Copenhagen has less traffic, noise and pollution in Europe.66. Which title is the most suitable for the passage?A. The attractive City Copenhagen.B. Not Only Ancient but Modern Copenhagen.C. City of Green Spires Copenhagen.D. A Fairyland CopenhagenEPeanuts to ThisProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused(疑惑的), I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day when Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there we
