14．Some people get pleasure from picnics and tours．Others like to discuss various topics and find pleasure in it．But the reading of books provides us with such pleasure as we do not get from any other activity．
Books are written by learned people．They contain the best experiences and thoughts of their writers．Writers put in their books not only their own ideas and feelings，but also what they observe and find in society．（36）G
If we are in a cheerful mood，our joy is increased by reading．（37）EThey provide us with the best advice and guidance in our difficulties．Indeed，books are our bst friends as they help us in our hour of need．
（38）CThey entertain us in our spare moments．Good novels，books on poetry and short stories，give us great enjoyment．At times we become so absorbed in our books that we forget even our important arrangements．Loneliness is no trouble for a reader．
（39）BThey give us sound moral advice．It is through the reading of books that we learn what to love and what to hate．The reading of good books develops and improves our character．
It was the English author Bacon who said that reading makes a full man．No one can question the truth of this saying．
（40）FSome books are such that instead of doing any good，they do harm to the readers．So it is the rading of
good books alone that presents us the greatest benefit．

A．Books keep us well-informed．
B．Books contain grains of wisdom．
C．When we are alone，books are our best friends．
D．Books enable us to know the best of the colorful world．
E．When we are in a depressed mood，books comfort our troubled minds．
F．But we cannot get full advantage from reading，if our choice is not good．
G．By reading books written by great thinkers，we come in contact with their minds．
13．How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the sport．（36）D But with these tips，your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy．
●When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story，think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it．For example，if your topic is about environmental problems in America，you might ask，"Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？"（37）G●Hit the streets with confidence．（38）BSay，"Excuse me，I work for XYZ News，and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic．"This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you．
Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not inter
Don't get discouraged．
●（39）AEach interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes．As soon as yo get the answer you need，move on to the next person．Make sure that as you go from interview to interview，you are getting a variety of answers．If everyone is giving you the same answer，you won't be able to use it．A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten．（40）F
●If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air，don't leave work without them．

A．Limit your time．
B．As you approach people，be polite．
C．If you don't own a camera，you can buy one．
D．For new reporters，this can seem like a challenging task．
E．To get good and useful results，ask them the same question．
F．That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need．
G．With a question like this，you will get more than a"Yes"or"No"reply．
12．On October 19，1959，the first Special English progam was broadcast on the Voice of America as an experiment to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language was not English．Experts said the purpose was good，but the method would not work．However，The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA．（36）F
Forty years later，Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English．（37）CIt also helps people learn American English．And it provides listeners，even those who are native English speakers，with information they canot find elsewhere．
（38）G  Each half-hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20minutes of feature programming．There is a different shortfeature every weekday about science，development，agriculture and environment and on the weekend about news events and American idioms．
（39）A It has a limited vocabulary of 1，500words．Most are simple words that describe objects，actions or emotions．Special English is written in short，simple sentences that contain only one idea．And Special English is spoken at a slower speed，about two-thirds the speed of Standard English．（40）E It also helps people who are English speakers understand difficult subjects．

A．Three things make Special English unique．
B．It has a special program for New Year's Eve．
C．But during the years its role has got bigger．
D．VOA Special English is an example of a new language．
E．This helps people learning English hear each word clearly．
F．And they are still poplar today．
G．Today，Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week，five times a day．

10．Tips for Staying SharpIt's not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you're feeling a bit sluggish（迟钝的）when it comes to remembering things．If you're worried about your forgetfulness，try out these five tips to stay sharp．
（36）AYou've probably heard the term"you are what you eat．"If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy．But if you decide to eat fruits，vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you'11 find that you're full of energy．
Never stop learning
Challenge yourself constantly-whether it is puzzles，reading，cooking or other tasks that will keep your mind working．If your mind is always learning new things and active，you'11 realize that it's much easier for you to learn new things and to function．（37）G    
Stay fit
Being in good health and staying in shape is a big part of staying sharp．（38）C If you choose to be lazy then your body is not going to give you the energy that requires remembering things and completing tasks．However，if you put forth the effort into being healthy then your body will expel（释放）the energy you need to achieve your goals．
Ensure enough sleep
Be sure to get the necessary amount of sleep that your body needs to function on a daily basis．（39）FIt also helps your body build up an energy reserve so you can improve your ability to focus and avoid distractions．
Socialize more
（40）E Social interaction will help you develop multitasking，problem solving and other skills that are necessary in life to keep your mind sharp．

A．Feed your brain．
B．Avoid eating too much．
C．Your body will only give you what you put into it．
D．Lack of sleep contributes to tiredness and slow reaction．
E．Conversations require individuals to stay aware and active．
F．According to studies，sleep helps strengthen and recover your memories．
G．Remember your brain is a muscle and if you want to get the most out of it，you must use it．
9．Students who date in middle school have significantly worse study skills．They are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use as their single classmates，according to a new research from the University of Georgia．
"Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence，but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships，"said Pamela Orpinas，study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior．
Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade．Each year，the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors，including the use of drugs and alcohol．Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students'academic efforts．He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school，and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers．Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school．
"At all points in time，teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills，"according to the journal article．Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized，finishing homework，working hard and reading assigned chapters．
"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional effect of dating a co-worker，"Orpinas said，"When the couple break up，they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else．It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract attention from studying．"
"Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school，"Orpinas concluded．

A．followed a group of students of 6th and 12th grade

6．There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence．The first is the sort of brain he is born with．Human brains differ considerably，some being more capable than others．But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with，an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn．So the second factor is what happens to the individual-the sort of environment in which he is reared．If an individual is handicapped envionmentally，it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable．
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intellingence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins，Peter and Mark．Being identical，the twins had identical brains at birth，and their growth processes were the same．When the twins were three months old，their parents died，and they were placed in separate foster homes．Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities．Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college．He was read to as a child，sent to good schools，and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually．This enviromental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tesets to measure their intelligence．Mark's I．Q．was 125，twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother．Given equal opportunities，the twins，having identical brains，would have tested at roughly the same level．

32．This selection can best be titledB．
A．Measuring Your Intelligence
B．Intelligence and Environment

B．an individual's intelligence is determined only by his enviroment
C．lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D．changes of enviroment produce changes in the structure of the brain

5．The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public place．The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59BC．In the 700's the world's first printed newspaper was published．Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609，when one was started in Germany．
The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620．In 1621，an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week．The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant （每日新闻）．It came out in March 1702．
In 1690，Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston．But not long after it was first published，the government stopped the paper．In 1704，John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter （波士顿新闻通讯），the first newspaper published in the American colonies．By 1760，the colonies had mor than thirty daily newspapers．There are now about 1，800daily papers in the United States．
Today，as a group，English language newspapers have the largest circulation （发行量） in the world．But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun （朝日新闻）．It sells more than 11million copies every dy．
