During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whomAlexused to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that hed be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary General of the United Nations (UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting. It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalem, he took the book along.61Alex lent Emma the book, Markings, .Ato show his friendliness to herBto show his interest in readingCto tell her about the importance of the UNDto let her write her name and address inside62How did Emma feel the moment she opened the book?APleased.

I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.65. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A. Those who often take exercise. B. Those who often watch television. C. Those who often have meals at home. D. Those who often walk to school.66. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because A. their parents often cook meals for themB. they are too busy to go out and playC. they can' t choose what to eat D. there are too many fast food shops around67. The word "steer" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _. A. force B. guide C. expect D. observe68. The main purpose of the text is to _. A. tell a story B. provide factsC. give advice D. compare opinionsCRemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it. Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a persons name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After youve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names. Admit you dont know. Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?Use connections. Connect each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng - tall, black hair. " To reinforce youre your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to othersan automatic(自动) review for you. 69. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed. C. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged. 70. If you can't remember someone's name, you may _. A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you71. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember _A. all their names B. a couple of names firstC. just their last names D. as many names as
