5．Tea，the second most popular drink throughout the world and the national drink of China，is now receiving ever-growing threats from canned beverage，bottled water and instant powdered coffee or other sorts of soft drinks．Due to high-pressure competition and heavy load of work，people nowadays tend to favor drinks which are more easily processed and readily available．However，from my perspective，I believe that tea will maintain its popularity over other modern drinks．
Admittedly，beverages like cocktail or lemonade invitingly satisfy our taste buds with their exotic flavors； carbonated drinks like Cola or Sprite instantly cool us down especially when served with ice； coffee drinks like mocha or latte smoothly keep us refreshed and help us unwind．However，the tempting and lasting flavors of those drinks may be produced with many additives and preservatives．
Tea，with more choices of different tastes or kinds，offers us joy and relaxation and of course is richer in culture and healthier．Black tea or oolong tea，jasmine tea or chrysanthemum tea，whichever can find one who enjoys it and appreciates the culture involved．
It's wonderful to have a cup of my favorite tea served in exquisite tea cups on a sunny afternoon while reading through novels or just day dreaming．The warm flow of tea mixed with the fragrance （香味） of herbs and flowers often quickly relieves the pressure and calms me down．
The concept of tea drinking is strongly rooted in us Chinese as an integral part of daily routine，especially for the elder generations．Every time we step into a Chinese restaurant，a teapot is a must on the table and we will be graciously received with the greetings like："Which kind of tea would you prefer？"
Tea is a healthy choice．It has unique medical and nutritional values，either relieving people's physical pain and mental stress or assisting clinical treatment of certain types of diseases or even cancer．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

81．Why do people prefer to drink other sorts of soft drinks rather than Chinese tea？Because high-pressure competition/heavy load of work makes people like easily processed drinks．/readily available drinks．

83．The author has his own way to relieve his pressure，drinking the warm flow of tea mixed with the fragrance．．

9．Ipanicked（惊慌）when I saw smoke coming out of the engine．

19．Mum，Helen Clements，described how her fun family trip to Longleat Safari Park turned into a nightmare as their car caught fire while they were surrounded by killer beasts．
The story happened when the group reached the lions'area during a visit to the park．Just as they came up to a group of 12lions，smoke suddenly began to come out of the engine．Helen was so scared that she pressed the horn to ask for help from the park workers，but then flames started to appear．The family was then faced with the dilemma of staying inside the car away from the lions or escaping the deadly fire．
Fortunately，the lions were led into a night-time enclosure（围墙）by the workers as the family made their escape from the car．With the family sent to the safety of the park office，the roads were cleared of cars so the fire service could put out the fire．No one was injured in any way and no lions were hurt．Helen said that it was not the workers'fault．She said，"They were great．"
Today speaking of the experience，Helen said："Looking back at it，we can laugh，but at the time it was frightening．I think，Oh my goodness．Why did it happen in the lion enclosure？Why not while we were at the penguins，or the kangaroos？When the car was filled with more and more smoke and the flames were getting bigger．I was thinking about explosions，just like in films．Luckily we didn't think about the lions．The cars in front of us were kind of sheltering us from them，so we didn't really see how close they were．If we had been just 50yards further along，it would have been a different story．"

6．In 1826，a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business．But he was not a good artist．So he invented a very simple camera．He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden．That was the first photo．
The next important date in the history of photography（摄影术） was in 1837．That year，Daguere，another Frenchman，took a picture of his reading room．He used a new kind of camera in a different way．In his picture you could see everything very clearly，even the smallest thing．This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype．
Soon，other people began to use Daguerre's way．Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world．People took pictures of famous buildings，cities and mountains．
In about 1840，photography was developed．Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things．That was not simple．The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines．But this did not stop them，for example，some in the United States worked so hard．
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer．He took many pictures of great people．The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike（栩栩如生）．

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle that theyd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs．
Just over 2000people were interviewed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health，Britain's largest health charity．The results，were surprising．；
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken，they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up．
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to．catch a bus．Worryingly，of the 654respondents with children，64% said they were often too tired to play with them．
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese before they start school．Dr．Sarah Dauncey，medical director of Nuffield Health，said，"People need to get fitter，not just for their own sake，but for the sake of their families，．friends and evidently their pets too．If we don't start to take control of this problem，a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simple tasks．"
And Scotland's largest city，Glasgow，was shamed as the．most indolent city in the UK with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise，followed closely by．Birmingham and Southampton，both with 67%．
"The results pose serious challenges for the National．Health Service，where obesity related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year．

15．Learning to read and write is a complex process，which can be disrupted in various ways，leading to disorders known as dyslexia and dysgraphia（读写障碍）．Two new studies，published in a recent special issue of Elsevier's Cortex provide evidence of this variety，suggesting that effective treatment needs to take it into account．
A group of researchers from the Universities of Bari and Rome in Italy studied the reading and writing abilities of 33Italian dyslexic children，comparing their performance with that of children with normal reading ability．Italian is an"orthographically transparent"language，meaning that letters tend to correspond to the same sounds，whereas many letters in the English alphabet change their sound from word to word （like the"c"in car and city）．However，the new study showed that even in Italian，in which it is relatively straightforward to convert sounds into letters，children still have difficulty in spelling．Younger children with dyslexia generally performed worse than proficient readers； however，the older ones showed a more selective impairment when spelling words，suggesting that knowledge of vocabulary may be more important in spelling than previously thought．
The other study，from Tel Aviv University，Israel，provided the first systematic description of a type of reading disorder called"attentional dyslexia"in which children identify letters correctly，but the letters jump between words on the page，e．g．，"kind wing"is read as"wind king"．Teachers and neuron-psychologists often notice that children substitute letters when reading，but in this type of dyslexia the substitutions are not caused by inability to identify letters or convert them into sounds； they result from migrations of letters between words．The findings showed that letters would mostly migrate to the same position in another word，so the first letter of one word would switch places with the first letter of another word．Awareness to the existence of this type of dyslexia is important，because it suggests a straightforward way to assist these children in reading--by presenting a?single word at a time，e．g．，with the help of a word-sized window cut in a piece of cardboard．
58．We know from the first new study thatB．
A．Italian is easier to learn in comparison with English
B．knowledge of vocabulary has a close link with spelling
C．in Italian each letter has only one correspondent sound
D．children with normal reading ability have no trouble in converting letters into sounds
59．As is inferred from the passage，C．
A．many people cannot distinguish learning to read and learning to write
B．converting letters into sounds is more difficult than the other way round
C．younger children usually have a poorer knowledge of vocabulary
D．in the past not enough attention is paid to knowledge of vocabulary
60．In"attentional dyslexia"，childrenD．
A．do not pay enough attention to the meaning of each word
B．are not capable of telling letters apart
C．can not change letters into sounds accordingly
D．tend to transfer the first letter from one word to another．
