分析 你是听到音乐就想动起来的人吗？这是很自然的事情，不只是大人、小孩，就连动物都会跳舞．但是动物的舞蹈与人类是不一样的．舞蹈队人们有很多好处：对身体有利，让你自由表达自己的情感，舞蹈还能解除坏心情，甚至让你结识新朋友．

解答 AEDB
61．A联系下文题．下文The"dances"of animals send messages to other animals．But when people dance，they express feelings about life and love，or about these very human experiences．说到动物跳舞是为了传递信息，而人类跳舞是为了表达情感，所以这里讲的是人与动物跳舞的目的是不同的．故选A．
62．E联系上文题．根据前句It makes your heart work and makes you breathe fast．可知它让你的心脏运行加速，并且使你呼吸加重．E项：它也会用到你的胳膊和腿．符合文意．故选E．
63．D承上启下题．根据前句It gives you a chance to express your feelings and feel better about yourself可知它给你表达你的感情的机会，并且让你感觉更好．及下文If you go dancing often，you can keep physically fit．，舞蹈会有助于消除这些情绪．D项：如果你对某些事情感到愤怒或者心烦．符合文意．故选D．
64．B联系上下文．从下文的Some dances are for couples and some are for groups．But all kinds of dances give you a chance to meet new people or to do something enjoyable with friends．可知"有些舞蹈是给夫妻的而有些是给组合的．但是各种舞蹈都会给你结识新朋友和跟朋友做高兴的事情的机会"可以看出舞蹈也是社交活动．故选B．

-Yes．But I can't think of his name _____．（　　）
A．in a momentB．at the momentC．for a momentD．at any moment
3．Ernest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20th-century literature，but was also a pack rat．He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets，leaving behind one of the longest paper trails of any author．
"Ernest Hemingway：Between Two Wars，"which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library & Museum，is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work．The largest and most interesting section focuses on the'20s，Hemingway's Paris years，and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting：Hemingway before he became Hemingway．
The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded，manly，Hem．He's shown posing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat，the Pilar，with Carlos Gutiérrez，the fisherman who became the model for"The Old Man and the Sea．"But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome，clean-shaven，19-year-old standing on crutches．This is from the summer of 1918，when Hemingway was recovering from wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction．
The evidence at this exhibition suggests that，in the early days，he often wrote in pencil，mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand．The first draft of the short story"Soldier's Home"was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office．The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going．
F．Scott Fitzgerald （some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view） famously urged him to cut the first two chapters of"The Sun Also Rises，"complaining about the"elephantine facetiousness"of the beginning，and Hemingway obliged，getting rid of a clunky opening that now seems almost"meta"．In 1929，in a nine-page penciled critique，Fitzgerald also suggested numerous revisions for"A Farewell to Arms．"Hemingway took some of these，but less graciously，and soon afterward his friendship with Fitzgerald came to an end．
The papers at the Morgan show a Hemingway who is not always sure of himself．There are running lists of stories he kept fiddling with，and there are lists and lists of possible titles，including the 45he considered for"Farewell"and 47different endings for the novel．
In display case after display case，you see Hemingway during his Paris years inventing and reinventing himself，discovering as he goes along just what kind of writer he wants to be．In a moving 1925letter to his parents，who refused to read"In Our Time，"his second story collection，he writes："You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not just to describe life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive．So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing．You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful．"
By the time the Second World War broke out，Hemingway had solidified into the iconic figure we now remember：Papa．Even J．D．Salinger calls him this．And a blustery，cranky Hemingway appears in 1949when aboard the Pilar he grabs an old fishing diary and begins scrawling an angry letter to Harold Ross，the editor of The New Yorker，complaining about Alfred Kazin's review of"Across the River and Into the Trees，"not，in truth，a very good book．But，Hemingway，often drinking and depressed，didn't know it，his best work was behind him by then．

20．Maybe you know floods（洪水），droughts（干旱），earthquakes，sandstorms and so on．But have you ever heard of typhoons？
Typhoons are some of the worst storms，usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea．Most happen in July，August and September．
How does a typhoon happen？When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer  sun，it evaporates（蒸发掉） into the air．This makes the air hotter．When the air gets warm enough，it starts to move higher up into the sky．Then，cooler air around it rushes in． It fills the space that is left．After the air gets warmer，it starts to move quickly，making wind．The wind goes in circles，and it keeps moving higher in the sky．The warmer the air gets，the quicker the wind moves．And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second，a typhoon begins．
A typhoon has two parts．One is called the"eye"．In the eye，the wind does not move so fast．The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye．This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are．
Typhoons are very dangerous．In 2004，Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang，and 24 people were missing．In May 2006，Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian，and thousands of houses were damaged．
What to do when a typhoon hits
Stay inside．Close all the windows and stay away from them．
Try to bring all of your things inside．Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
Listen to the radio or TV for important information．
If you're told to go to a safer place，do so right away．

Like exercise，hot showers and baths can actually help you fall asleep．The problem，however，comes out of taking one too close to the time you plan to go to bed．（39）G．
Caffeine，of course，and alcohol both make it difficult to get a good night's rest．But drinking a lot of any liquid within the last hour or two before you go to bed will lead to late night bathroom breaks，and further disrupt your sleep．You shouldn't go to bed thirsty，however，as you'll likely wake up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water，（40）A．

So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key．The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London．You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time you use the bike．
Transport for London，which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6，000bikes and 400docking stations in place by the end of the year．The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion （拥挤） in London and is expected to create up to 40，000extra cycle trips a day into the city centre．London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been"filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses"．
However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday．On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not been registered．Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few"teething problems"and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a"gesture of goodwill"．Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles．
Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things，saying，"My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards．"
