Taking Naps in Warmer Climate. 第63天 A People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet. How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and around your chest to hold you. There are ropestied to your. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top. Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.

Paula Radcliffe, chasing (角逐) a third London marathon title (冠军), says she has became a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Gaines.

Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism.”

“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”

She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.

“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I'm sure she would have contacted me.”

Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.

“In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.” Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.

However, Radcliffe has not ruled out (排除) in the future chasing her "final" world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.

“I don't think that --- although I can't put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”

Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.

Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometer race three years ago.

Afterwards she set a "mixed course" mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 m the 2003 London event.

56. Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her ________

A. develop respect for Liz B. love people around her more

C. rest for five months D. face criticism calmly

57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon.

B. Radcliffe didn't fully recover before the New York City marathon.

C. Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon.

D. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.

58. By saying “I can't put a number on it,” Radcliffe means she’s not sure _____ .

A. if she has the ability to set a new world record

B. if she can win another race though she has won many tunes

C. how many times a marathon runner can set the world record

D. if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times

59. According to the text, Radcliffe has won ____ London marathon title(s).

A. two B. three C. four D. one

60. What can we learn from Radcliffe's story?

A. Practice makes perfect. B. Well begun is half done.

C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Where there is a will there is a way.

　　The English language is changing fast,thanks to the rapid progress of technology．We all have a rapid choice：We can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well．Or we can embrace(拥抱)the new English,enter into the spirit of the Internet age called Weblish．

　　“You can’t keep away from it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along,it inevitably(不可避免地)influence the language as a whole．"Says Dr David Crystal,honorary professor of linguistics(语言学家)at the University of Wales in BangoL, whose book“Language and the Internet”has just been published．

　　The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not so much that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did．In the past, if someone said they did not have Windows,you would have to suppose they lived in a cave．These days, it is probably because they use a Mac(which is a computer,not a rain coat)．Spam is as disliked as it ever was,but whereas it once meant an unappetizing(引不起食欲的)canned meat．It now stands for unwanted‘junk”email．Spellings are changing,too．Not only is text-messaging playing“hvc with vrbs”(havoc(混乱)with verbs), but the conventions(常规)of email communication place little emphasis on“perfect speaking”．

　　Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs(“please bookmark this site”), and verbs become nouns(“Send me the download”)．Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives(dial－up,logon,print-on,pull－down,upload),while others are created from simply pairing nouns：cyberspace,emit Internet,hyperlink,metatag,netspeak．

[　　]

[　　]
A．	there are so many new words

(4)

Dr．David Crystal would probably agree that ________．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　What makes a house a home?

　　Not size, of course．I've been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it's readily apparent that no one lives there．Earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess's bed－ a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since．

　　Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just－released Home：The Blueprints of Our Lives．There Edwards writes, “This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped．The houses and circumstances are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar．”

　　Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he's talking about．

　　We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years．The loose windows make noise in the wind．The fireplace is so small it holds only one log．The kitchen window offers a view of the world passing by．It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed．I lived there for only 18 years, but it will always be my true home．Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines．

　　While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are．As Edwards writes, “Home is family．Home is safety．Home is faith．”

　　Happy homecoming!
