It is naturally impossible for a well educated, intellectual(懂道理的),or brave man to make money-the chief of his thoughts; it is naturally impossible for him to make his dinner—the necessary object of him. All healthy—minded people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy—minded people like making money—but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something more important than money.

A good soldier for instance, mainly wished to do his fighting well. He is glad for his pay—very properly so, and justly complains when you keep him ten months without it; still his main aim of his life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.

As for doctors, they like fees, no doubt — ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object(目标) of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, wishes to cure me sick, and—they are good doctors, and the choices is fairly put to them—would rather cure their patients and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men—their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second. 

64. The text is mainly about ____.

   A. money is not everything but no money is nothing

   B. work is first but money is also important

   C. work is the chief opinion of the good people’s lives

   D. People like less work but more money

65. According to the text, it is ____ that a good solider will run away when a drowning man needs help but there is no money.

   A. impossible        B. possible      C. clever           D. foolish  

66. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph means ____

   A. their patient       B. their work    C. the object of lives  D. their money

67. If you are middle school teacher described in the text, what will you do if you are not paid for six months?

   A. To quarrel with the headmaster

   B. To go on teaching in this school

   C. To give up the teaching in this school and find a teaching job in another school

   D. To go on teaching after getting paid

Here is how your health risks increase at different BMIs(体重指数) if your waist circumference(腰围) is higher than 40 inches(102 cm) in men and 35 inches (88 cm) in women:

·If your BMI is in the 18.5 to 24.9 range, or “Normal”, then a larger waist that is near or greater than 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women can indicate that you are at “increased” risk.

·If your BMI is in the 25 to 29.9 range, or “Overweight”, then a larger waist (less than or equal to 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women) can indicate that you are at “increased” risk. Above these sizes,the risk is considered “high”.

·If your BMI is in the 30 to 34.9 range, or “Obese(肥胖症)I”, then a larger waist (less than or equal to 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women) can indicate that you are at “high” risk. Above these sizes, the risk is considered “very high.”

·If your BMI is in the 35 to 39.9 range, or “Obese II”, then a larger waist (less than or equal to 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women) can indicate that you are at “very high” risk. Above these sizes, the risk is still considered “very high”.

·If your BMI is or in the 40 + range, or “Obese III”, then a larger waist (less than or equal to 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women) can indicate that you are at “extremely high” risk. Above these sizes, the risk is still considered “extremely high”.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly    16    to your physical and    17    health.

“People who always forgive others   18    less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,” says Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., the    19    of Forgive for Good. “So it can help    20    on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune(免疫的) system and    21    people to feel more vital.”

So how do you start the forgiveness? Try    22    these steps:

Calm yourself. To defuse your    23   , try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of    24    that gives you pleasure: a   25    scene in nature, someone you love,” Luskin says.

Don’t    26    an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no    27    of apologizing,” Luskin says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same    28   . So if you wait for people to apologize you could be waiting a(n)   29    long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean    30    to the person who upsets you.

Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying(重播) your    31    gives power to the person who caused you pain. “   32    focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness   33    you,” Luskin says.

Try to see things from the other person’s view. If you empathize(把感情移入) with that person, you may    34    that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love.

Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who always forgive others will get more energy, better    35    and better sleep.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself.“For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,” Luskin says. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”

It doesn't take a rocket scientist long time to figure out that there are better things you could do for your health than take deep breaths on a smoggy(烟雾的)day. A growing pile of research suggests that even relatively low levels of air pollution may be more harmful than previously realized, to both heart and lungs(肺). The latest articles from researchers, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, focuses on how particulate (微粒) matter from air pollution affects lung function.

“The effect of low levels of particulate pollution found in many urban areas is not unlike secondhand smoke,” experts say. Studies show that short-term effects from particulates include diminished(减少) lung function, coughing, wheezing, and heart attacks. Long-term exposure can also slow normal lung growth, damage lung airways, and increase the risk of dying from lung cancer.

Certain populations, such as the very old and the very young, are the most vulnerable to air pollution. However, even the most alarming studies conducted in the most polluted areas suggest that the average person's individual risk from exposure (暴露) is very slight. Relative risk numbers often seem more frightening than they actually are. For example, an earlier study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that short-term exposure to traffic fumes tripled ( 成为3倍) the risk of heart attacks in heart-attack survivors.

   Short of moving to the countryside or at least away from busy roads, shielding yourself from the effects of air pollution is not easy. Masks won't work. “At the very least,” suggests Murray Mittleman, a cardiologist at Harvard University, “people who regularly exercise outdoors near highways may want to consider remapping their route.”

66. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?

    A. Rocket scientists are making researches on people’s health.

    B. It's obvious that air pollution has a bad effect on people’s health.

    C. People aren't sure whether taking deep breaths on a smoggy day is bad.

    D. People often have a hard time when taking deep breaths on a smoggy day.

67. The word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.

     A. easy to be hurt             B. easy to be protected

     C. easy to be used             D. easy to be saved

 68. The main idea of Paragraph 3  is _________.

      A. that even small risk from particulate causes big problems

      B. that air pollution often leads to heart attack

      C. who are most likely to get affected

      D. that we shouldn't worry about the average low risk

 69. In order to be healthier, you'd better _________.

A. take deep breaths         B. wear a mask   

C. live in a countryside       D. clean the busy road

70. The passage is written in a(n) _________ tone.

A. subjective         B. humorous      C. doubtful      D. objective
