There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 71  I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice.  72  Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.
  73  It wasn’t nice , but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen.  74  
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.
  75  Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
A.There is nothing that I want to see.
B.It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.
C.After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.
D.“ Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other.
E. I told them what happened.
F. My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life.
G. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely you are there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realise you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. You can wander round such places to your heart"s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will disturb you with usual greetings, "Can I help you, sir?" Of course you may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. However, when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.
小题1:.
. Which may not be included in the writer"s experiences while he is in a bookshop?
A.Getting relaxed without buying a book.
B.Quarrelling with the shop assistant.
C.Buying other books instead of those he wanted.
D.Forgetting some important appointment.
小题2:.
. What does the writer mean by saying "time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable"?
A.You may free yourself from the real life.
B.Reading is free of charge there.
C.There is nobody disturbing you there.
D.You can enter without any certain reason.
小题3:.
What does the underlined wordengrossed most probably mean in the first paragraph?
A.Lost.B.Forbidden.C.Puzzled.D.Impressed.
小题4:.
. The writer wrote the passage in order to ________.
A.suggest a good way of running a bookshop
B.encourage people to do some reading in bookshops
C.share his experience in bookshops
D.give some advice on buying books in a bookshop

One of the most widely accepted, commonly repeated assumptions (假设) in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight. I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise getting rid of it?
It’s a question many of us could ask. More than 45 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study — the Minnesota Heart Survey — found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.
And yet obesity (肥胖) figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?
The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases — those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over-evaluated.
“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, exercise researcher at Louisiana State University. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser — or from magazines like this one.

While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrains.
Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated(喝醉的) more frequently and with higher blood alcohol levels than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 which by law in most states signifies intoxication compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrain accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.
“We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.
Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB)  in Washington in January.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified(迷惑不解) about how to prevent disasters.

D.former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time
小题3:According to recent federal data, drunken drivers with an over 0.10 blood alcohol level in deadly accidents .      
A.are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level
B.are 2500 a year
C.are at least 7000 in US traffic accidents
D.make up one seventh of highway accidents
小题4:According to the passage, what is Blomberg?

On the day Apple debuted the often-delayed white-colored iPhone 4, the company"s marketing department gave a nod to the product"s troubled history.
"Finally." read the big headline Thursday above a picture of the white phone on the homepage of Apple.com.
The white model was supposed to ship alongside the black one at the iPhone 4"s launch(推出) last June.But design and manufacturing complications delayed the process by 10 months, catching Apple off guard, executives say.
As CNN reported last month, earlier test models of the white iPhone 4 produced unclear photos, especially when the flash(闪光灯) was used.Its whiteness confused the proximity sensor (距离传感器) , which detects when the phone is held next to someone"s head and turns off the touch screen to save battery life.
These problems weren"t present in older iPhones that came in white because they didn"t have flash photography; the proximity sensor was unaffected because the front side of previous models was black.
"We thought we were there a year ago, or less than that, when we launched the iPhone 4, and we weren"t," Philip Schiller, Apple"s chief marketing executive, said in an interview."It"s not as simple as making something white.There"s a lot more that goes into both the material science of it —how it holds up over time…but also in how it all works with the sensors."
Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White predicts that the white model could help drive sales of Apple"s phones.He says Apple could sell 1 million to 1.5 million every three months until the next iPhone model is unveiled, which is expected to be this fall.
Forty-five people were lined up at Apple"s flagship New York store Thursday morning to buy white iPhones, according to a CNN Money report.
小题1:The reason why white-colored iPhone 4 was delayed by 10 months is that _______.
A.it"s always sold out due to its popularity
B.it met some problems concerning design and manufacture
C.it lacked white manufacturing materials
D.its proximity sensor can"t save battery life
小题2:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.There are multi-colored models of iPhone 4.
B.The same design problems were also found in older white iPhones.
C.IPhone4 will be launched this fall.
D.Originally designers thought they could solve the problems before iPhone 4 was launched.
小题3:What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Why the White iPhone 4 Took So Long
B.The History of iPhone 4
C.The Attraction of White iPhone 4
D.The Design and Manufacture of iPhone 4
