Many people take extra vitamins in pill form（丸剂）, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesnt need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?In the modern western world, many people are too busy to about eat properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.59. “Your body has close relations with the food you eat” really means that _.A. all kinds of food you eat can be made into your body. B. your body is made up of the food you eat.C. what you eat has great effect on your health. D. the more you eat, the fitter you will feel.60.

In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know _.A. our bodies need food, or we cant live. B. often eating apples is a good habit.C. taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless.

CE-mail has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good. E-mail is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. It is also changing the way we interact(交流) and build relationship. These are a few of the recently recognized features of E-mail, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use E-mail. “E-mail has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics(语言学) at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of E-mails reflect(反映) a growing unconcern about the way we write. Baron argues that we shouldnt forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in E-mail. “The more we use E-mail and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says. Others say that despite its poor writing, E-mail has finished what several generations of English teachers couldnt: it has made writing fashionable again. “E-mail is a critical new communication technology.” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before E-mail. It is the purest form of written speech.” Lancashire says E-mail has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of E-mails close similarity to speech. “Its like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says. Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. E-mails sent in a day almost exceed(超过) the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical E-mail message is not often exact.63. From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that _.A. careless people use E-mail more than careful people B. E-mail requires people to change their native languageC. professors in universities dont need to use E-mailD. people communicate by E-mail full of mistakes64. What does the underlined word “it”(in Paragraph 4) refer to? A. The poor writing. B. E-mail. C. The good writing. D. A new communication technology.65. In Lancashires opinion, E-mail is a wonderful technology because _. A. it can be useful all over the world B. it is the fastest way to communicate C. we can express ourselves in a free way D. we can save a lot of paper66. This passage mainly shows us that _. A. people should stop using E-mail to communicate B. experts hold different opinions about E-mail writing C. Americans only use E-mail to communicate D. E-mail makes people lose interest in English67. Which of the following is NOT true about E-mail? A. It is changing the way of communication. B. It is used more than letters in the US. C. It helps us write better. D. It causes us to write more.DMark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time.
