One day in summer I stepped into a tiny coffee shop to drink a cup of black coffee. As I entered, I found a very old woman bent 36 a table near the door. Her back was so 37 twisted by some sadness that her face nearly 38 the table-top. I sat down facing her two tables away.
"Poor woman," I thought. "What does she 39 life? Why does God let people live so 40 past their prime?"
As I thought, 41 aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about 42. They talked of how little the shop had 43 in 70 years... In minutes the two of them were 44 with laughter.

A
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is a research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in the modern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers in Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes (容量) of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with intellect (智力)and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, tile back part of the brain, which controls tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract (萎缩) with age.
Contraction of the front and side parts--as cells (细胞) die off--was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty or seventy-year-olds.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the town. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as likely to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
56. The team of doctors wanted to find out .
A. at what point people grow mentally old
B. how to make people live longer
C. the size of certain people's brains
D. which people are the most clever
57. Their research findings are based on .
A. an examination of farmers in northern Japan
B. tests given on a thousand old people
C. examining the brain volumes of different people
D. using computer technology
58. The doctor's tests show that .
A. our brains contract as we grow older
B. part of our brains does not contract
C. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D. some people's brains have contracted earlier than other people's
59. According to the article, are growing old earlier than people who live in the cities.
A. farmers B. office clerks C. shop assistants D. bus drivers
60. The most possible conclusion of the passage is that .
A. most of us should take more exercise
B. it's better to live in the town
C. the brain contracts if it is not used
D. the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old
B
Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay all our accounts( 帐户); they depend on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not sound, that it can not pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be funds ( 备用金) to pay those who want their money when they want it. Mrs Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in the city where Mrs Vaught lived. The other banks anticipated (预见) a run the next day, and so the officials of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller (出纳员) had enough funds on hand to pay off as many depositors as might apply. The officials simply instructed the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many believe that the bank could not possible pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers' windows. Clothing was torn, legs and arms broken, but the crowd continued for hours. The power of the worrying is clear in the fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was sound and could pay out all depositors, drew out the funds in their own accounts. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty preventing herself from doing the same.
61. A bank run occurs when .
A. a bank is closed for one or more days
B. too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one time
C. there is not enough money to pay all of its depositors at one time
D. clerks of a bank take their own funds out of the bank
62. The crowd in Mrs Vaught's bank and on the sidewalk gathered because of .
A. demand B. hunger C. doubt D. anger
63. The basic cause of a run on a bank is
A. loss of trust B. lack of enough funds
C. crowds of people D. poor working tellers
64. Which of the following did Mrs Vaught say?
A. She knew that the bank was not sound.
B. She feared that too many customers would close the bank.
C. She was not able to draw out her money.
D. She was trying to draw out her money.
65. According to the passage, the actions of the customers of Mrs Vaught's bank were affected chiefly by the
A. convenience with which they could get their money
B. belief shown by other customers of the bank
C. act that Mrs Vautht showed
D.failure of several other banks to open
C
American scientists have a new definition of a good night's sleep: it's the one you go to bed late and get up early. Insomniacs (失眠症患者) may not be harmed by their short nights. But those who sleep like logs for eight hours of more could be heading for an early grave.
Daniel Kripke, of the University of California, San Diego, reported in the Archives of General Psychiatry (精神病学) that he and colleagues looked at the records of more than 1.1 million adults aged between 30 and 102.
Those who got only six or seven hours sleep a night recorded lower death rates. Individuals
who slept more than eight hours, or less than four hours a night, had significantly increased death rates.
The discovery had the scientists rubbing their eyes in bewilderment (困惑) . "We don't know if long sleep periods lead to death. Additional studies are needed to determine if setting your alarm clock earlier will actually improve your health," Kripke said. "Individuals who now average 6.5 hours a night can be reassured that this is a safe amount of sleep. From a health standpoint, there is no reason to sleep longer."
The best survival rates were found among those who slept seven hours a night. Those sleeping eight hours were 12 per cent more likely to die within a six-year period than those sleeping seven hours.
66. The passage mainly discusses .
A. short sleep leading to good health
B. the relation between mental health and sleep
C. long sleep leading to good health
D. the relation between sleep and life span
67. The people who sleep more than eight hours would .
A. have a longer life B. have a life between 30 and 102
C. have a shorter life D. have a good sleep
68. Those who have much higher death rates usually sleep .
A. less than 8 hours, or more than 4 hours a night
B. more than 4 hours, or less than 6.5 hours a night
C. 6.5 hours a night
D. more than 8 hours, or less than 4 hours a night
69. The word "survival" (Line 1, Para. 5) most probably means
A. existence B. sleep C. happiness D. strength
70. The author's purpose in writing this passage is
A. to suggest that we sleep as long as possible
B. to tell us to have a proper amount of sleep
C. to warm us not to dream at night
D. to encourage the adults aged between 30 and 102 to sleep less
D
Generally speaking, American food is rather bland and not spiced. Salads are much liked and are served all year round. Many American people are trying to keep down their weight and so they are "calorie" conscious. This is evident in menus offering "low calorie" or "weight watchers" meals. In markets one can find "No cal" drinks (meaning without calories) such as ginger ale or cola. "Diet" foods without sugar or salt are also available in food stores.
Waiters in American restaurants tend to assume that everyone drinks coffee. If a waiter suddenly asks "Now or later?" What he means is "Do you want coffee with your meal or later?" Many Americans drink coffee or tea with their meal. When dining out in the US, we can ask for tea, milk, coke, beer and so on, if we prefer these to coffee. American restaurants cannot serve beer, wine, or liquor unless they are licensed to do so.
The main course in American meals is usually meat, fowl, or fish, but rarely is more than
one of these served at the same meal (except that seafood can be used as an appetizer (开胃菜)
-- shrimp cocktail, pickled herring, oysters, etc.)
Most Americans eat quickly during the day--that is, breakfast and lunch--unless it is a social, business, or family occasion. The evening meal, however, is usually leisurely and a family time. Racing through daytime meals is part of the "American pace" of life, for working time is considered precious. There is also another reason, that others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so they can be served and get back to work within the allotted time. Each one hurries to make room for the next person.
71. According to the passage, many Americans .
A. are very careful about their health
B. usually serve a main dish at the same meal
C. are unaware of their health and diet
D. are quite economical about their food
72. American restaurants .
A. can't sell alcoholic drink unless they pay tax
B. usually serve food for those who go on diet
C. usually offer bland food
D. usually refuse to serve drinks except coffee
73. The word "allotted" (Line 5, Para. 4) means
A. distributed B. allowed C. given D. working
74. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Americans usually eat very fast because they consider time to be precious.
B. Americans eat fast in restaurants partly because they have to give room for others
C. Lunchtime for many Americans is rather short.
D. Americans can enjoy free coffee but not drinks.
75. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. American food. B. American food habits.
C. Americans' way of eating. D. Americans' food and life

The specific factors that stimulate migration of high-level manpower vary, but the most widespread cause in all countries is economic. In Japan, in Thailand, and in Singapore the current stage of development in the economy as a whole and in university capacity is such that job opportunities for graduates in the field of their choice are relatively more plentiful than they are in Korea and the Philippines. Traditional culture factors -- in Japan 'and Thailand, for example -- support the economic factors accounting for relative absence of migration. Political factors tend to add to the economic push to migrate. And what might be called "a general way of doing business", involving the so-called corruption present in one degree or another in so many countries appears to exert a special influence in encouraging migration from the Philippines as well as from Korea. For a few at the highest professional level, laboratory or other research facilities and .the presence of respected people overseas represent drawing power.
The economic factors referred to here are not limited to -- and, in fact, often do not involve -- the personal economic dement of salary. Of course, this is important, and for a few migrants, perhaps all important. But the factors discussed here related to the general economic level of the country, which can support proper activities to an extent that will provide reasonable opportunities for trained people to use their hard-won training.
76. The topic of the passage is .
A. the reasons for the loss of talent through migration
B. the factors that stimulate the migration of high-level manpower are different
C. the relationship among the economic, cultural and political factors of the migration of high-level manpower
D. the comparison of the number of migrants in the countries concerned
77. Which are the most popular factors to encourage the migration of high-level manpower?
A. The economic factors.
B. The cultural factors.
C. The political factors.
D. The better research conditions.
78. According to the passage, it is comparatively easier for a university graduate to get a satisfactory job in .
A. America
B. Japan
C. Korea
D. Japan, the Philippines than Singapore
79. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The graduates in Thailand have comparatively more job opportunities than those in Korea
B. Japan has also a relatively high rate of migration of high-level manpower.
C. The political factors may stimulate the migration of high-level manpower.
D. Some people of talent migrate to seek better research conditions.
80. The economic factors .
A. have a lot to do with the personal salary
B. are perhaps all important to a few migrants
C. concern the current stage of economic development of the country as a whole
D. refer to the reasonable job opportunities in the country
