9．Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year，but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US，the government politely said no．
"We don't know whether the food is safe，"said Zambia's commerce，Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel．
    His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America's genetically modified（GM，转基因的）crops．Just last week，EU（欧盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US．
    Ever since people started farming，they have tried to crossbreed（杂交）plants to make them stronger or better tasting．At one time，only related plants could be crossed with each other．
But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s，scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature．
    This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species．They can also create food with special characteristics，such as"golden rice"，which is enriched with vitamin A．But many people believe GM foods are a health risk．
    At the moment，the official argument is that GM foods"are not likely to present risks for human health"．But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways．
    Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies．Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops．
    People in China are also getting worried about GM foods．More than 70 percent of the
country's soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans．Meanwhile，an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products．The government has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them．
26．Why has Zambia refused the American free maizeC
A．they decide to follow EU member's advice
B．they care little about the problem of starvation
C．they are concerned about the safety of GM foods
D．they are too proud to accept free offer
27．It has been proved thatA．
A．GM techniques can increase the production of crops
B．GM food is no better than naturally produced foods
C．only related plans could be crossed with each other
D．GM foods are harmful to people's health
28．Which of the following statement is TRUEB
A．GM foods are a health risk．
B．Some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from GM foods．
C．China's government hasn't taken any action about GM foods．
D．Only Zambia worries about the safety of GM foods．

6．Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s．The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong．People watched him，and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach．Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets．Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable．
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong，but thi s is not true．Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable．
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake．In the 1890s，a group of people studied what was inside vegetables．This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did．The group wrote the number wrong，and everyone accepted it．
Today，we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is．However，spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid．It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong．Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along．
56．A good title for this reading passage isB．
A．Popeye the Sailor
B．The Truth About Spinach
C．Mistake with Numbers
D．Folic Acid Makes You Strong
57．Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor？A

7．I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled A Real Test in My Life before the whole class at the age of 9!You can imagine how（61）terribly（terrible） shy I was the moment I thought of that---with so many eyes（62）fixed （fix） upon me．I had no （63）choice（choose） but to prepare for it，though．First of all，I was to draft the speech，which was just a piece of cake for me，a good writer．But the hardest part（64）lay （lie） in my oral presentation from my memory，for to read from the paper was not allowed．The real moment began（65）when I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank．But my（66）listeners （listen） were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me．Gradually I found myself back，giving out my speech with difficulty．After what seemed to be a hundred years，I found my audience applauding----I made （67）it!From then on，my fear of talking before a big audience（68）disappeared （appear）．Actually with my confidence building up，I now turn out to be a great speaker．（69）Looking（look） back，I know the greatest difficulty on our way（70）to success is our fear．Overcome it，and we will be able to achieve our goals．
