3.Whether it is thin crust (酥皮),thick crust,stuffed,rolled,topped with a dozen ingredients (酥料) or served simply with tomato and cheese,there are few people who do not appreciate good pizza can be traced back to the 18th century when sellers wandered in the streets of Naples selling picces of flatbread to the poor.
Although it is commonly believed that Italians invented the pizza,its orgins can actually date back to ancient times.The lsraelites,Egyptians,and other Middle Eastern cultures ate flatbreads cooked in mub ovens similar to today's pita bread,and later the Romans and Greeks began topping this flatbread with olive oil and native spices.Once the Italians accepted the use of cooking with tomatoes,they perfected the pizza,and it developed into what we call pizza today.
It is said that the famous Margherita pizza from Naples,considered the"true"pizza by many,came about when Queen Margherita,while traveling through Italy,fell in love with the flatbreads being sold to the poor.She ordered a baker named Raphelle to bake her a selection of pizzas to try.One type,consisting of tomatoes,mozzarella,became her favorite,and was named to honor her appreciation for pizza.
Pizza Margherita is still a favorite pizza choice in Ital today.Although many cultures learned to back flatbreads with some type of topping,only southern Italy had rich,creamy buffalo-milk mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes,the most important ingredients for Neapolitan pizza.
The world's first pizzeria is believed to have opened in Naples,Italy,although street peddlers (小) may have sold pizza for many years before that.By the beginning of the 1900's pizza made its way to the inner cities in the States,thanks to Italian immigrants,particularly New York and Chicago,which both have large Italian populations.
While living in Italy.I learned to love the thin-crusted pizza cooked in wood burning ovens that differs from the pizza sold in chain restaurants here in the US in any way.While the Neapolitan pizza consists of a few,fresh ingredients on a tasty,thin crust,the American pizza consumed here,is often packed with various ingredients,topped with a layer of heavy cheese,and prepared with a much thicker crust.True Italian pizza has a light,chewy crust,which may surprise those used to the taste of brick-oven pizza in America.

2."Everything happens for the best,"my mother said whenever I faced disappointment."If you carry on,one day something good will happen.And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment."
Mother was right,as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932,I had decided to try for a job in radio,then work my way up to a sports announcer.I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned down every time.In one studio,a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't risk hiring an inexperienced person."Go  out in the sticks  and find a small station that'll give you a chance,"she said.I thumbed home to Dixon,Illinois.
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon,my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department.Since Dixon was where I had played high school football,I applied.The job sounded just right for me.But I wasn't hired.My disappointment must have shown."Everything happens for the best."Mom reminded me.Dad offered me the car to hunt a job.I tried WOC Radio in Davenport,Iowa.The program director,a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office,my frustration (挫折) boiled over.I asked aloud,"How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling,"What was you said about sports?Do you know anything about football?"Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game.The preceding (在前的) autumn,my team had won a game in the last 20seconds with a 65-yard run.I did a 15-minute build-up to that play,and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday's game!On my way home,as I have many times since,I thought of my mother's words:"If you carry on,one day something good will happen.Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment."
I often wonder what direction my life might have taken   if I'd gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

51.The underlined phrase"out in the sticks"probably meansB?
A.in radio stations  B.in the country
C.in big cities      D.in Dixon,Illinois
52.Why did the writer mention his mother's words over and again?BecauseA.
A.it was his mother's words that encouraged him
B.his mother was a person who talked a lot
C.nothing good has happened to him up to now
D.he got turned down every time he tried

1.Naps-short sleeps during the day-may improve memory,experts said recently.
New research conducted by brain researcher Avi Karni of the University of Haifa in Israel explores the possibility that naps help lock in sometimes long-term memories."We still don't know exactly how memory system works during sleep,but the results of this research suggest it is possible to speed up memory consolidation(巩固),"Karni said.Long-term memory refers  to memories that stay with us for years,such as"what"memories--a car accident that happened yesterday--or"how to"memories,such as one's learned ability to play the pianos.
Karni,also one of the authors of the study published in a recent issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience,instructed participants to learn a difficult set of finger games,then divided the study subjects into two groups:one that napped for an hour,and one that didn't.The people who took an afternoon snooze showed obvious improvement in their performance by that evening.
"After a night's sleep the two groups were at the same level,but the group that slept in the afternoon improved much faster than the group that stayed awake,"Karni said.And the study also showed just how much faster a 90-minute nap could help lock in long-term memories."Daytime sleep can shorten the time‘how to'memory weakens and forgetting starts,"Karni said,"Instead of 6 to 8 hours,the brain consolidated the memory during the 90-minute nap."
64.We can learn from the article thatC.
A.the new research has discovered the memory process during the sleep
B.taking a nap helps improve both long-term and short-term memories
C.Karni's findings are based on comparisons between two groups of participants
D.people who take a nap will never forget"how to"skills once they are learned
65.The underlined word"subjects"in paragraph 3 probably meanA.
A.the people being tested in the study
B.the people carrying out the study
C.the topics being discussed in the study
D.the areas of knowledge being studied
66.The text is most probably taken fromD
A.a newspaper report     B.a library guide
C.a project handbook     D.a science site.
