His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT”.56.

CPhys ed (physical education) is making a comeback(恢复)as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程)， but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力). In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often put P.E. on the chopping block(砧板), cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered, says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum, she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野)than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant(勉强的)students were able to sit on the bench. Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood.63.According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?A. Lift weights B. Cycle C. Climb a rope D. Have a balanced diet64. What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P. E. on the chopping block”? A. Schools welcome P. E. but do not have time for it. B. Schools put P.E. in the first place. C. Schools do not pay enough attention to P. E.D. Schools cut down other subjects time for P.E.65. Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage? A. More American teenagers are overweight. B. Traditional group sports teaching is not effective. C. Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life. D. Phys ed programs need less money to support.66. Whats the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model？ A. The Phys ed teaches group sports. B. The Phys ed provides more fitness programs. C. The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life. D. The Phys ed has more support from the government.DRecently, we were given the opportunity to review a book written by a young author. When we received it, I noted how beautifully done it was.
