　　Microwave cooking is probably the best cooking discovery besides fire．In fact, it might be better than fire, since microwaves, instead of a flame or an electric element, cook the food．

　　Microwaves are short radio waves, similar to heat and light waves．They work by movement．They cause the molecules(分子)in food to move, which produces friction(摩擦力)．(It’s similar to rubbing your hands together when they’re cold．)The friction produces heat in the food(not in the oven), and the heat cooks the food．

　　There is a legend behind the use of microwaves for cooking．

　　Percy Le Spencer was employed by the Raytheon Company during the World War Ⅱ．One day on 1942 he was working with magnetrons(电磁管), which can produce microwaves．When he pulled a candy bar from his pocket, it was a melted mess．Although Spencer was working on scientific experiments, not trying to invent a new way of cooking, he realized that it was the microwaves that had melted the candy．Spencer knew that if microwaves melted candy, they would cook other foods as well．The Raytheon Company agreed, and in 1947 it introduced its Radarange to the public．

　　The first ovens were suspected(怀疑)of causing health problems, but the new models were safe when the factory’s instructions were followed．Microwave cooking now can be found in many homes all over the world．

　　Before Nicolas Sarkozy became French president, he was asked if he thought about presidency when he looked in the mirror while shaving．“Not just when I' m shaving,” he answered．

　　When Francois Hollande, now president-elect(总统当选人)of France, was asked the same question, he replied：“Do I see myself as president? No, I am a presidential candidate．A candidate must not think himself president; he must give hope that he becomes president．”

　　Hollande has promised to be a “normal president” – something Sarkozy certainly was not．Sarkozy celebrated his election in 2007 at a world-class Parisian restaurant．He took holidays on the yachts(游艇)of wealthy businesspeople．Hollande, by contrast, was still going around Paris on his three-wheeled motorbike at the start of this year．One member of his party said he looked “more like a pizza delivery man” than the next president．

　　“That is the key to Hollande's success because the election is turning into a sort of referendum(公民投票)for or against Nicolas Sarkozy,” Eric Dupin, a journalist and political observer told Global Post．“Francois Hollande is the one who appears not only as his main opponent politically, but also as his complete opposite psychologically．”

　　When he was the Socialist party leader, Hollande was nicknamed “the marshmallow(软糖)” because he hated fights．Sarkozy, by contrast, is known to be loud and aggressive．

　　When faced with Sarkozy's verbal attacks during the election, Hollande stayed calm．This sometimes annoyed even his own supporters．“I wish he would just let go and savage(用暴力对付)Sarko,” one Hollande voter said to the Guardian．

　　But Hollande still knows how to fight．Stéphane Le Foll, a Socialist MEP who has been one of Hollande's closest advisors for 17 years and is co-directing his campaign, said Hollande had quietly planned his presidential bid for 10 years．“I think we all underestimated this guy,” Alain Minc, one of Sarkozy's closest friends and advisers, told Reuters．

　　Hollande was born in 1954 into a middle-class family．He lived through the 1968 protests that nearly overthrew the French government．“They shocked him, but also politicized him, he said in a recent interview, making him understand that change was possible,” reported the New York Times．When Hollande was 15, he told friends he expected to become president．

　　“I didn't come to the first rank either by chance or by obsession(执迷),” Hollande said in an interview with Reuters．“I got there because I put myself in this situation, and because I deserved it．”

In the Lincolnshire village of Burgh-le-Marsh there was once a large area of land called Bell String Acre. It got its name, the local legend tells, because of a narrow escape. On a dark winter's night early in the seventeenth century, they say, a ship's captain was guiding his ship to pass along this difficult distance of coast when he suddenly heard church bells. “If I can hear those,” the captain reasoned, “then I must be far too close to shore for comfort.” Swiftly he changed his position, thus saving himself and his ship. To show his thanks, he soon afterwards bought a piece of land at Burgh-le-Marsh. Rent on this Bell String Acre, he ordered, should go toward the maintenance of the church bell's pull-rope, so that it might ring out its helpful warnings, he required firmly, “for ever.”

Another less charming story tells how the townspeople refused to ring the bell, for they all relished the idea of stealing goods from shipwrecks, but that a minister ran to the tower and rang the bell. His brave act saved the ship, but then the minister died of extreme tiredness. (And then it is said, the grateful captain married the clergyman's daughter.)

In any case, the captain’s request is honored all winter long in Burgh-le-Marsh. Beginning every October 10, the bell rings nightly at 8 p.m. April 7 is the last night of the bells―that is, till the next October.

B. The church in Burgh-le-Marsh was very close to the coast

C. The townspeople refused to ring the bell because of lack of money

D. The church couldn’t afford to keep the bell’s pull-rope in good condition

60. The underlined word “relished” in the second paragraph probably means ______.

A. preferred                    B. disliked      C. competed                    D. warned

61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. There was no way that the minister would attend the captain’s wedding.

B. Bell ring from the church warned the ship of its dangerous course.

C. There was no bell at night for the sailors for about half a year.
