11．Bissel is a small village of the West Sahara．It lies next to al.5-square-kilometer oasis（绿洲），from here three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert．However，before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926，none of the Bissel villagers had ever walked out of the desert．Reportedly，they were not unwilling to leave this barren land．Many had previously tried but failed，always somehow finding themselves back at the oasis after several days of trying to walk out．
When interviewed by Ken Levin，an expert at the British Royal College of Sciences，the villagers explained that no matter which direction they walked it always brought them back to the village．Why couldn't the Bissel villagers walk out of the desert？Levin was very puzzled．He had，by himself，managed to walk north from the village and reach the nearest town in three and a half days．He decided to carry out an experiment to solve the mystery．He and a Bissel villager called Argutel，would walk out of the desert together．They prepared enough water for a half-a-month journey and two camels．But this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass．Levin would follow Argutel．
Ten days later，they had walked for about 500 miles but were still in the desert．On the 11th morning，an oasis came into their view．They were back at Bissel．Levin now understood why the Bissel people couldn't escape the desert．They had no knowledge of the North Star，which had for centuries provided sailors and other travelers with a point of direction．In the desert，if a person goes forward relying only on their senses，they will not be able to travel in a straight line．Rather they will travel in a very large circle and eventually track back to where they began．Levin explained to Argutel the function of the North Star and said，"As long as you rest in the daytime and walk towards the brightest star at night，you would be able to walk out of the desert．"Argutel did as he was told．Three days later，he came to the edge of the desert．
Now in the West Sahara，Bissel has become a bright pearl，where tens of thousands of tourists come every year．Argutel's bronze statue stands in the center of the town．On its base are the words：_________．

23．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．Ken Levin didn't walk south because it would take more days
B．the use of a compass was necessary to walk out of the desert
C．tourism in Bissel has been greatly developed and improved

8．If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day，think again．Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year，a survey has revealed．The waistlines of women suffer the most，with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz-the equivalent of a whole dress size-while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz．
The report into our eating habits found that，on average，we eat at least two snacks a day，with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more．Women admit eating more than men，with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day．The research，by The Village Bakery，found biscuits are the most common vice，with 42 percent regularly opening a pack，closely followed by chocolate （38 percent），crisps （32 percent） and cakes （13 percent）．
And office workers are worse than most．Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to．In addition，33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon．
Simon Staddon，of The Village Bakery，said："We were aware timepoor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch．But we were really shocked by the extent to which‘quick fix'lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing．Popular midafternoon pickmeups such as biscuits，chocolate and cakes are high in calories，fat and full of sugar，all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain．"
The survey of 2，000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating.24 percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying，compared to 20 percent of men．Unfortunately，it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats．

A．on the face B．on the legs C．on the feet D．in the middle
32．What's the main reason of eating snacks in office？C

B．Staff use them to cope with their lunches．
C．Colleagues often bring them to office．
D．Bosses invite staff to eat them．
33．Why do office workers eat a"quick fix"lunch？D
A．Because it has much of nutrition．
B．Because it has little effect on weight gain．
C．Because it has little effect on general wellbeing．
D．Because they have short time to have their lunches．
34．It can be inferred that British women areB．

6．It's tough，it hurts-and yet more than two million of us in the UK run at least once a week．
Of course，some people run to lose weight，or to get fit，and these are great reasons．Running is also easy to do，it's cheap，and you can do it when you want．All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running is one of the most popular sports in the UK．
But for many of those two million runners，the real reason we run is more intangible （无形的） than weight loss or fitness．
Many runners become interested in times．They try to break the 40-minute barrier for the 10K，or run under four hours for the marathon．Yet，really，these times are almost meaningless．And as soon as they are achieved，another target is thrown out almost immediately．
The times are only the carrots we put in front of ourselves．But why do we put them there？Nobody ever gives a wise answer．Deep down，we all know the answer．
Running brings us joy．Watch small children when they are excited，at play，and mostly they can't stop running．There's a great moment in The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield，caught in the uneasy space between childhood and adulthood，is walking across his school grounds one evening and he suddenly starts to run．"I don't even know what I was running for-I guess I just felt like it，"he says．
This will to run is born．In fact，humans may well have evolved the way we did because of our ability to run．As we run，we begin to sense that children joy．
If we push on，running harder，deeper into the loneliness，further away from the world and the structure of our lives，we begin to feel strangely excited，separated yet at the same time connected，to ourselves．After a long run everything seems right in the world．After a long run everything is at peace．To experience this is a powerful feeling，strong enough to have us coming back，again and again，for more．

根据下列要求完成相应任务，将答案写在答题卷上．
78．Find out or write our no more than one sentence to state the main idea of this passage．the real reason we run is more （intangible） than weight loss or fitness．/the real reason why we run/the real reason for our running
79．The author mentions the example of Holdden Caulfield in the novel The Cather in the Rye in order to prove thatrunning brings us joy．
80．What does the underlined word"more"in the last paragraph refer to？．（more） running．
