What kind of sports impressed you most during your childhood? Maybe racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours would bring you pleasure. At that time you weren’t thinking of fitness, you were just thinking of entertainment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. I think rediscovering it probably will give you a total-body exercise.

Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never received widespread acceptance because of two reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many regard it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive —not as something fun or enjoyable.

As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find a proper way to practise it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳) over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double –bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.

Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres(半球)to perform equally to each other. In short, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.

67. One reason that can explain why rope jumping has not spread widely is that_____.

       A. it benefits the cardiovascular system       B. it is too difficult for people to learn to jump

       C. it is believed to be boring and repetitive   D. it requires little equipment, time and space

68. The first sentence in Paragraph 3 means that        in rope jumping .

       A. there is only one proper way to follow     B. the usual way should not be used again

       C. the easiest way is always the best one     D. there are different kinds of ways to follow

69. According to the researchers , jumping rope          .

       A. only prepares the brain for learning                B. is suitable for students only

       C. helps both brain hemispheres work together  D. can be dangerous for old people

70. What does the writer think of rope-jumping ?

       A. He is strongly against it.                                B. He is for it.

       C. The passage doesn’t mention it..                   D. He knows little about it .

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.

    At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.

    Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

    Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.

    Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.

    Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

60. Which statement is TRUE?

A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know.

B. Hostess always seats a small group at a large table.

C. American people never sit with people they don’t know.

D. American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.

61. What is served before you order?

A. Cold water.     B. Butter.    C. Coffee.      D.  Bread.

62. What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?

A. They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs.

B. They leave the food on the table and go away.

C. They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later.

D. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.

I went to the Chinatown market in London last Sunday. The first thing I did was to go to one of the Chinese green grocers’ shops. As soon as I entered the shop, I smelt mixtures of Chinese spices and saw the new season’s fruits. My son wanted a bag of sweets, so we popped into the shop next door which sells many kinds of candy.

There is a lot of noise in the Chinatown market and you will see many tourists too. There are a lot of cars and trucks that never stop beeping(按喇叭). While people are loading and unloading their goods, most of them have their cars and trucks parked in the middle of the road. This causes great trouble for other drivers. Can you imagine that?

After we had done all our shopping, my son and I went to a restaurant for lunch. We enjoyed our meal very much. But the shopping made us both very tired in the end. We headed down the road to catch our bus home. My son and I enjoyed riding in the bus. We also enjoyed looking at different buildings and people walking by dressed in fancy outfits(服装). Although Chinatown can be a busy place to shop in, I do enjoy going there now and then. I can buy some of my necessities, and I can also look and browse(浏览) around the other shops and department stores where I can indulge (使沉迷) myself with some nice things. Chinatown is located in the heart of central London, where you can find tons of shops and other places to amuse you. And for me, I certainly don’t mind going back there again soon.

56. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Rich people won’t go to Chinatown for shopping.

B. The traffic conditions in Chinatown are not very good.

C. The food that the author ate in Chinatown didn’t taste good.

D. Chinatown has changed a lot since the author’s last visit.

57. From the passage, we can infer(推测) that the author most probably went to Chinatown by _____.

A. bike           B. car           C. bus             D. motorbike

58. The underlined words “popped into” most probably means “_____”.

A. broke into  B. rushed into  C. pushed into   D. walked into    

59. What does the last sentence of the passage imply(暗示)?

A. The writer will come to Chinatown again before long.

B. The writer won’t go to Chinatown for a long time.

C. The writer likes Chinatown because it’s near.

D. The writer doesn’t have a good impression on Chinatown.

Isn’t it amazing how one person, sharing one idea, at the right time and place can change the course of your life’s history? This is what happened in my 36 .

When I was 14, I left school and was journeying first in California and then in Hawaii. 37 reaching El Paso, I met an old man, a beggar(乞丐), on the street corner, who 38 me and asked if I was 39 away from home because I looked so  40  .

After 41 for a few minutes, the 42 beggar told me to follow him. He told me that he had something good to 43 with me. We walked until we came to a library, where the beggar first  44 me to a table and asked me to wait for a moment 45 he looked for something special among the shelves. A few moments later, he 46 with a couple of old books under his arms, and then started with a few statements (说法)that were very 47 and that changed my life. He said, “There are two things that I want to 48 you.”

“Number one is never to judge a book by its cover, for a cover can 49 you. Well, young man, I’ve got a little 50 for you. I am one of the richest men in the world. But a year ago, my wife 51 away. I realized there were certain things I had not yet 52 in life, one of which is to live like a beggar on the streets. So, you see, don’t ever judge a book by its cover.”

“Number two is to learn how to 53 , my boy. For there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you, and that is your wisdom(知识, 智慧).” At that moment, he showed me the 54 of Plato and Aristotle —immortal(不朽的) classics from ancient times.

The beggar then led me back on the streets near where we 55 met. His parting request was for me never to forget what he taught me.
