15.Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket,I want to stop them and ask if they know just where their money is going.
The lottery money is supposed to go to charity,but it makes me angry to see some of the so-called"good causes"that it's being used to support.Also,Camelot,the organizers,have made a profit of£10.8million in five months.We hear that a lot of that money is boosting(increasing) the pay packets of the company's bosses.
For the past 10years I've been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus.My husband,Sandy,died from cancer 11years ago when he was only 51.There's been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it's been destructive.I've also lost two sisters-in-law,my brother,Michael,my father-in-law and my father.That's apart from several close friends
The charity is 50years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research.It also runs a support line for the families of cancer sufferers.Our local group raises£3million and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets.But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced.
I'm not against people playing the National Lottery,but they should think about what they're doing.The chances of winning the cumulative amount of money are so small; they might as well throw their money away.The Government tells us that the proceeds (收益)are going to things like the arts and sports,but what about the National Health Service?They should give some cash to that,too.How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so-called works of art like display of potatoes or buying up Winston Churchill's papers at a cost of£12million?
So who really are the winners in the National Lottery?When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research,I could weep.It's time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery.It's disappointing and so frustrating.

66.The reason why the writer raises funds for cancer research is thatC.
A.she herself is suffering from cancer    
B.the cancer is the most frightening disease

12.For a while,my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑的人).They were there all the time:early morning,noon,and evening.There were little old ladies in gray sweats,young couples in Adidas shoes,middle-aged men with red faces."Come on!"My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening."You'll feel great."
Well,I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day,anyone could.So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life,and not a day more.Based on my experience,jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around,and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army.I'm not alone in my opinion.
First of all,jogging is very hard on the body.Your legs and feet a real pounding(沉重的脚步) ruining down a road for two or three miles.I developed foot,leg,and back problems.Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging,and I had something else to worry about.Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people,but if you have any physical weaknesses,jogging will surely bring them out,as they did with me.
Secondly,I got no enjoyment out of jogging.Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun.Jogging is also a lonely pastime.Some joggers say,"I love being out there with just my thoughts"Well,my thoughts began to bore me,and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain?And that wasn't just the first week-it was practically every day for two months.I never got past the pain level,and pain isn't fun.What a cruel way to do it!So many other exercises,including walking,lead to almost the same results painlessly,so why jog?
I don't jog any more,and I don't think I ever will.I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace,and that feels good.I bicycle to work when the weather is good.I'm getting exercise,and I'm enjoying it at the same time.I could never say the same for jogging,and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

56. From the first paragraph,we learn that in the writer's neighborhoodA.
A. jogging became very popular 
B. people jogged only during the daytime

19.Tanzania Tarangire is a national Park which lies in Tanzania.The park itself covers an area of around 2,850square kilometers,making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country.I recently visited Tarangire to see what it was like….
One of the first sightings upon entering the park which I found was a huge herd(群)of elephants.Our guide told us that Tagrangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large herds of elephants,and that their population in the park was around 2,500.We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch(痒处).
To the right of the elephant herd,we noticed a big tree!Our guide informed us that this was a Baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of years.Compared with this tree,the elephant just looked like dwarfs(侏儒)!We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best National Parks in Africa to see so many Baobab trees.
As we continued our drive through the park,we finally reached a watering hole.Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us.It took us all a while to find them,but there they were!Most of them are resting in the shade under brushes,but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us.We then noticed just to our right,there were a couple of fresh zebra corpses(尸体)-it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them!We were unlucky not to have seen the actual kill,as our guide had mentioned that the zebra corpses were fresh and the kill had occurred within the last hour.
Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see,even our guide!We pulled over to where there was a large gathering of cars,with a sleeping leopard(美洲豹)there!We took photos happily and excitedly and observed its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.
So,I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire,and that I have inspired you to add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route.

9.Many of us enjoy doing it:you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high angle,making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more defined.You turn to your best side and click.There it is-your selfie.
Over the past year,"selfie"has become a well-known term across the globe.This August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as:"A photograph that one has taken of oneself,typically with a smartphone or webcam and up-loaded to a social media website."
Today it's not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends.And selfie culture has become especially relevant for young people.As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online,according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center.
So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?
"The cult (狂热) of the selfie celebrates regular people,"Pamela Rutledge,a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology,told Vogue magazine."There are many more photographs available now of real people than models."
Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online."I like having the power to choose how I look,even if I'm making a funny face,"Samantha Barks,19,a high school student in the US,told Vogue.
In addition to self-expression and documentation,selfies"allow of a close friendship for long-distance friends,because you can see each other's faces every day",wrote Casey Miller at The Huffmgton Post.
But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems,"There's a danger that your self-esteem may start to be tied to the comments and‘likes'you get when you post a selfie,and they aren't based on who you are-they're based on what you look like,"Weber told Vogue."When you get nothing or a negative response,your confidence canplummet."
63.With the first paragraph,the author intends toB.
A.tell us the fun of taking a selfie

e.It is considered a good way to stay connected with friends that are far away.
A.a,c,e          B.b,c,d     C.a,b,c          D.b,d,e
65.What is Jill Weber's attitude toward selfies?C
A.She thinks they are a good form of self-expression and documentation.
B.She believes the disadvantages of selfies outweigh the advantages.
C.She is worried that people's self-esteem might be affected by how others react to their selfies.
D.She thinks that selfies can help people learn about their friends based on who they really are.
