16.Ten years ago I used to be very fit.I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends.I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks.In those days I didn't earn very much.I had a job in an office.It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then,about eight years ago,I got a much better job.The pay was better,but the hours were a lot longer.I bought a car and drove to work every day.I began to take people out to lunch.And I began to put on weight,too.I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more.
There's a lot of stress(压力) in my job.Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to.For example,I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home,but then I started filling my glass to the top,and instead of having one glass,I would have several.I started smoking a lot,too.I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack.At first I just couldn't believe it.Luckily it wasn't very serious.The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less.He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.But I just haven't any time!My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job.Perhaps I could do something as I used to.But if I do that,I won't earn as much.I have a family to support.I have to think of them,too.I just don't know what I should do.What do you think?

A.he is very fond of his job            
B.he likes drinking and smoking
C.he doesn't care about his health       
D.his work makes him feel stressful
34.According to the passage,when the author got the better job,which of the following is NOT true?B
A.He got higher pay.
B.His working hours weren't long.
C.He found it very stressful.
D.He had little free time at weekends.
35.What can we learn about the author?A

7.Dr Wiseman started"the laugh lab"project in September 2001.It is the largest study of humour.Participants(This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers.Most of the time,people are not completely honest.We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want.But laughing cannot be controlled.When we laugh,we tell the truth about ourselves.By December 2001over 10,000jokes had been submitted.This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions.It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour,for instance.
"Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour,"said Dr.Wiseman."Males use humour to appear superior to others,while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play."
Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour.The British enjoy what is usually called"toilet humour".But the French like their jokes short and sharp:"You're a high priced lawyer.Will you answer two questions for $500?""Yes.What's the second question?"
The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour.But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality.
Perhaps that proves the point.Is this joke funny?I don't know,but let's say yes,just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer.But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing.Perhaps this is relief.Computers already seem  like they can do everything.At least they should leave the funny
stuff to us.

A.to find the funniest joke in European countries

A.most of the people all over the world are completely honest

C.ordinary people are not interested in"the laugh lab"project at all

7.Most city parks are places where you can escape from big,ugly structures of metal and stone.The Manhattan High Line is different.Raised 25 feet above the ground,this massive metal structure once supported a rail line.The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories and warehouses.It was hardly used after the 1960s,and much of it was torn down.However,one section remained in an area of Manhattan called Chelsea.Chelsea was becoming more and more valuable as restaurants,art galleries and apartments were built,but the ugly railway structure remained as  a deadweight.weightEveryone knew that at some time,it would have to be removed.
But the High Line was not destroyed.In fact,now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city.It holds an elevated park,with beautiful gardens,a sidewalk and great views of the city.The idea to change the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond.In 1999,they attended a community meeting to decide the fate(命运) of the High Line.David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the structure for its historical significance.Later on,when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line,they saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city,and they realized that the High Line had potential to become a park.There was growing interest in improving urban centers,and so the project quickly won support and funds for construction were easily obtained.
The first section of the High Line opened in 2009and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike.Each part of the park has a different atmosphere.Some areas are like balconies (阳台)with wonderful city views.Where the rail line goes between buildings,trees are thickly planted.Other sections have wide walkways planted with wild flowers.Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years-a railway line overgrown with weeds.

63.The underlined phrase"a dead weight"in Paragraph 1meansD.
A.something with potential to be better.
B.something with historical interest.
C.something which is a danger to people.
D.something useless which slows progress.
64.According to Paragraph 2,David and Hammond wanted to save the High Line because theyA.
A.thought it had historical value
B.wanted to reopen the train line
C.thought it would bring them money
D.were interested in improving the city

A.is different in its design
B.is covered with trees
C.didn't change at all

A.It is situated above ground level.
B.Only part of the line remains.
C.It is now a popular park.
D.Trains still use the line.
8.Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock."Oh no!"he thought to himself."Another day at that office; a boss who shouts at me all the time."
As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door.He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside."Bigwoods Football Pools(足球赌博公司)would like to congratulate you.You have won half a million pounds."
Frank suddenly came to life.The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.
At 11:30Frank arrived at work."Please explain why you're so late,"his boss said."Go and jump in the lake,"replied Frank."I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye.Find yourself someone else to shout at."
That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar(雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door.He rushed to the door.Outside were two men,neatly(整洁) dressed in grey suits."Mr.Smithson,"one of them said,"we're from Bigwoods Football Pools.I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…"

6.Every language has its own special words and expressions.And a story can be told about each of them."Hot"is a simple,easily-understood word.So are most of the expressions made with the word"hot".But not always,as we shall see.
Take the phrase"hot potato"for example.The potato is a popular vegetable in the United States.Many people like baked potatoes,cooked in an oven or fire.Imagine trying to carry a hot,baked potato in your hand.It would be difficult,even painful,to do so.One such hot potato is taxes.Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician.And yet,if taxes are not raised,some very popular government programs could be cut,which can also make a politician very unpopular.
Another expression is"not so hot".If you ask someone how she feels,she may answer:"Not so hot."What she means is that she does not feel well."Not so hot"is also a way of saying that you do not really like something.
"A hot shot"is a person,often a young person,who thinks he can do anything.At least he wants to try.He is very sure he can succeed.But often he fails.The expression came from the army.A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.
A person who becomes angry easily is called"a hothead".An angry person's neck often becomes red.We say he is"hot under the collar".You could say that your friend is no hothead.But he got hot under the collar when someone took his radio.
The hot line was a direct communication link between the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States.The hot line had an important purpose:to prevent accidental war between the two competitors during the period known as the Cold War.The American president and the Soviet leader were able to communicate directly and immediately on the hot line.
