He met her at the party. She was so outstanding, with many boys around her, while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but due to being polite, she agreed.

They sat in a nice coffee shop. He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “Please let me go home.”

Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”

Everybody stared at him---so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?”

He replied, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood. I miss my hometown so much. I miss my parents who are still living there.”

While saying that, tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That’s his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell about his homesickness must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has a good sense of responsibility.

Then she also started to speak, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands: he was kind-hearted, warm and careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him!

Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married the prince, then they were living a happy life…And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee.

After 40 years, he passed away, leaving her a letter which said, “My dearest, please forgive my whole-life lie. This was the only lie I said to you ---the salty coffee.”

“Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time. Actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.”

“I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.”

“Now I’m dying, I’m afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don’t like the salty coffee. What a strange and bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life!”

“Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for a second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again.”

Her tears made the letter totally wet.

Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet,” she replied.

After ordering some salt to put into the coffee, the young man must have felt _________.

A. excited B. satisfied C. embarrassed D. displeased

Why did the man have salty coffee all his life?

A. To change lifestyle. B. To please his wife.

C. To keep his word. D. To remember the past

Today I felt very uncomfortable studying English as usual．My eyes were 36 and my mind was confused．I buried my head deep in the great pile of books．Many vocabulary words 37 my mind．As more and more entered，I 38 focus，and my 39 became crazy．The clock hands were pointing at twelve. I always 40 the time when I study．Without any fruitful results，I felt more 41 and tired．I 42 up and walked to the living room just to take a little break． 43 that would make me feel better．The street lamps looked like stars outside the window．A few scattered(分散的)branches 44 shadows on the French window．Something seemed more 45 and quiet than before．I walked to the 46 slowly，and let my face press against it， 47 very carefully…oh my God!!…It’s snow! It was very bright and covered up the whole 48 while I was studying English painfully, so white and so quiet．At this moment, I was so 49 that I felt like I might burst into tears．The snow was like a spring 50 into my heart，and my eyes were shining with it．All my pain and tiredness 51 at this moment，as the snow dropped into my heart．
I quickly became calm again as the excitement went away．I sat on the bed silently，and drew the 52 to one side to let the white house and white tree stay just beside my bed．I thought this must be a(n) 53 from God，because I liked snow so much． 54 I was weakest and most helpless in this world，nothing could inspire me but 55 ．I should inspire myself from such a beautiful scene．

I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one – it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓)of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.
【小题1】What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?

A．They are boring.	B．They are out of date.
C．They are attractive.	D．They are practical.

Beijing retiree Yang Hua was devoting a lot of his time to staying fit by completing his favorite exercises. But, according to his doctors, his routine may have done more harm than good—he recently suffered an illness because he was exercising the wrong way.
“Many people today still do not know how to exercise in scientific ways. As a result, they do not gain from the exercises and in fact may even hurt themselves, said Yang Zeyi, an executive board member of the Asian Council of Exercise and Sports Science.
Health experts said that a cardiopulmonary（心肺的） exercise test is necessary for middle-aged and senior citizens and those with special conditions. The test helps those engaging in exercise know whether their routines（惯例） are safe. It also can find potential unhealthy changes to exercisers' organs and provide suggestions to get fit by conducting real-time and continuous measurement of blood pressure and other physical parameters. The test can also analyze the maximum functioning of which the cardiopulmonary system is capable.
In the past, Yang would not think of creating an exercise plan because of his physical condition.
“I liked to do exercises in the evening but experts told me that the high-strength exercises at night would be harmful to my health. They advised me to choose some easy exercises such as walking and to limit the length of time I exercise,”he said. Sun Kanglin, Director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports, said, “Exercisers should choose a proper routine and length of time to engage in the activity according to their age, physical condition and profession. It's important to give scientific directions to today's exercisers.”
He said Beijing's 18 districts and counties all have physical monitoring stations where people could get suggestions on how to exercise.
“The number of such stations will increase to more than 100 in the future and they will be able to regularly monitor citizens’ physiques. They will also publish statistics for the public,” he said.
67. Yang Zeyi said                             .
A. people will hurt themselves when exercising
B. middle-aged should not exercise
C. people gain nothing because they exercise
D. many people have no scientific ways of exercising
68. The underlined words in the paragraph 3 means
A. old people                         B. people in high position
C. people who have much money          D. people who have knowledge
69. It can be inferred that                         .
A. Yang Hua has never exercised.
B. Yang Hua knew how to exercise scientifically
C. Yang Hua has done no harm by exercising
D. Yang Hua must be an old man
70. From the passage we know                           .
A. today’s exercisers know how to exercise in a scientific way
B. we should exercise according to our ages and physical condition
C. exercise tests are not necessary.
