Sharon Suarez dreams of the day when she won’t have to carry groceries from her car to her house. That day has come. A growing number of people are shopping the aisles of grocery stores on the Internet.
“I’ve never done it, but it sounds great, ”Ms. Suarez said. “It is so hot here in the summer. It’s also really cold in the winter. I would love to stay inside and have the groceries come to me. ”
Of course, people already buy books, do their banking, and shop for gifts on the Internet. But when they need to shop for food, most still get in the car and go to the supermarket. In fact, fewer than 1 million people have bought groceries online. The average American visits a supermarket 2.2 times a week.
Part of the problem is obvious. Many shoppers want to see the food they buy. While they might buy a CD or a book without seeing it, most people don’t want to buy produce the same way. They also enjoy going to the
supermarket. They like to walk in the aisles, and see what new items are available. Shoppers worry most about spoiled food, large delivery charges, and late deliveries. But, all this is slowly changing. Consumers are beginning to find that buying food online saves them time. And, the y’re finding that delivery is fast, cheap, and the food is good.
“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started ordering online, ”said Michael Koklos. Mr. Koklos started shopping online when he had to work longer hours. “I never had time to shop. It is really easy and convenient to buy over the Internet. The vegetables are better than ones I would pick out myself, ”he added. “And I never have to find a parking space. ”
While online shopping appeals to a certain group of the people, there will always be some who enjoy shopping for their own groceries.
Marti Lavalle, a shopper in a local grocery store, says she’ll never shop for groceries online. “I still don’t know how to use a computer, ”she explained.
60. Ms. Suarez likes the idea of Internet grocery shopping because __________.
A. many others are shopping on the Internet
B. it’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter
C. she has never done it before.
D. she needn’t carry the groceries by herself
61. Food shopping online is not as popular as other types of online shopping. NOT because _______.
A. people want to see the food they buy
B. people enjoy going to the supermarket
C. people have a lot of time to spend
D. people like to walk in the aisles
62. What do people think will go wrong if they buy food on the Internet?
A. They would spend a lot of money on delivery.
B. They can not find out the new items.
C. The food is very expensive.
D. They can’t pick out the things themselves.
63. If you _______, you can’t do shopping online.
A. can find a parking space
B. know nothing about computer
C. have a lot of spare time
D. have to work shorter hours
C
San Francisco is going to do what many other cities have already done－provide free bicycles to the public. The mayor of San Francisco supports the bicycle program. He wants to improve the terrible traffic problems in the city.
At first, 40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers. People will give their old bikes to the city to use in the program. If this program is successful, one day more than 1000 bicycles will be available. Everyone, not just city workers, will be able to use these bicycles.
People in Fresno, California already have a free bicycle program. In fact, this idea began in Amsterdam over 40 years ago. These programs encourage citizens to get out of their cars and onto pollution－free bikes.
Fresno’s Yellow Bike Program puts about forty bicycles around the city. The bikes are painted bright yellow so people know they can take them. When people take a yellow bike, they can ride to work or to shopping areas, and then leave the bike for the next rider.
Some people worry that the free bikes will be stolen. However, theft hasn’t been a problem in free-bike cities
by now.
While most people think the bike program is a good idea, only a few say they will use it. “I will still drive my car, ”says Joanna Greene. “San Francisco has a lot of hills. My office is at the top of Potrero Hill. I don’t think I’m in good shape. And, wouldn’t I have to carry a helmet with me all the time? ”
Phil Chung agrees, “There is too much traffic. Riding a bicycle can be dangerous. There are not very many bike lanes. ”He continues, “Plus, it’s too cold in the winter. And what if you ride a bike to work, and then there isn’t one to ride home? ”
Program leaders know there will be problems. But they think it’s worth trying. “It’s not the solution for everyone, ”states Sylvia Pass. “But if just one hundred people use it every day, that’s one hundred cars that aren’t on the streets, one hundred parking spaces that aren’t used. I think it’s a great beginning. ”
64. San Francisco provides bicycles to the public because _________.
A. there are many bikes available
B. many people don’t have cars of their own
C. many other cities have already done so
D. the traffic problems are terrible
65. The following statements are the disadvantages of free bike program in San Francisco except that ________.
A. free bikes will be stolen
B. San Francisco is not flat at all
C. riding a bike is not safe enough
D. it will be too cold in the winter
66. What does “I’m in good shape”in the sixth paragraph mean?
A. I’m beautiful.
B. I’m healthy and strong.
C. I have a good figure.
D. I’m heavy and strong.
67. The program leaders think the program is worth trying NOT because ________.
A. there will be more problems
B. they can’t solve problems for everyone
C. there will be less cars on the streets anyway
D. there will be more parking spaces
D
The phones, the caffeine, the boss, dinging faxes, deadlines, doubling up for laid-off colleagues, fear of being fired yourself-eek, pretty soon your body is a clenched fist and you haven’t stood up from the desk in hours.
You need to relax. But who can remember to -and who has time? You do! It only takes five minutes.
Scientists say the opposite of the stress response is the relaxation response. They suggest a quick mantra meditation （快速入静疗法）when you feel yourself breathing shallowly and tensing up.
“There are two things to remember about this, ”scientists say. “First, repetition is the key, and second, when you feel other thoughts coming－and they will－you must let them pass by and not deal with them. ”
Here’s what you do: At your desk, close your eyes, consciously relax your muscles, breathe in and out slowly, say a meaningful word, for example love.
Breathe in, say the word silently while breathing out. When thoughts come, let them drift past. Do this for three or four minutes, open your eyes, and get back to work. Scientists recommend doing this each morning before breakfast, too, for more than ten minutes, but less than twenty minutes. This will set the practice in your mind, so when you need it at work, it will produce relief almost immediately.
Scientists have another way of causing the body to unclench itself. And that’s by making it even more stressed! Run up a flight of stairs. Put demands on your body- this will cause the same pathways in the brain and nervous system as stress does and fool the body into thinking it needs to go into recovery. Scientists even suggest dropping down in your room and doing ten pushups（俯卧撑）quickly.
According to scientists, you can relax your body by muscle group. Tense your facial muscles for five seconds, then relax. Then neck and shoulders. Work your way down. Shaking your arms and legs like a wet dog is also
recommended.
68. Which of the following states is true according to the passage?
A. You must avoid other thoughts’ coming when you are in a quick mantra meditation.
B. You have to remember the practice in case you need it at work.
C. Running up a flight of stairs will make you even more tired.
D. Doing ten pushups will let you drop down.
69. Which of the following best explains the meaning of the sentence “Work your way down. ”as it is used in the passage?
A. Stop your work.
B. Go on with your work.
C. Then relax again.
D. Go on with the practice from upper parts of your body to lower parts.
70. How many ways do the scientists give you for relaxation according to the passage?
A. Two
B. Three
C. Four
D. Five
71. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Ways to relax in a hurry.
B. You need to relax.
C. Ways to be healthy.
D. Scientists’ suggestions.

Bulls and humans alike slipped and slid on the cobblestone streets, but the first of Pamplona’s yearly runs with the bulls was largely injury free as thousands of daredevils rushed with the half-ton animals.
Some runners, sounding disappointed, said they’d seek out greater danger in coming days as the wildly popular, centuries - old San Fermin festival serves up six more runs this week.
“It was a bit fearful, to be honest. Nowhere near as scary as in the books, ”said Johnny, 26, from New Zealand, here for the first time after reading about San Fermin on a Website.
“T omorrow we’re going to try and run a bit closer to the bulls and get a bit more excited, ”added his friend, Richard, 26, holding the day’s first beer.
The streets were slightly wet with morning dew as six fighting bulls and six steers （小公牛）dashed from a corral along the 900-yard course through the city’s old quarter to the bull ring.
No one was gored （拱、戳）, although four people who were trampled were hospitalized for treatment of head, chest, rib or leg injuries. None was seriously hurt.
The streets are meant to keep the bulls more or less in a group-a frightened, isolated bull is very dangerous －and that’s pretty much what happened Monday.
At two sharp turns, several bulls slipped and went down heavily, and two bulls were separated from the pack. And a minor pileup of fallen runners formed at the tunnel leading into the bull ring. Bulls jumped and stepped over the runners.
Thousands of people watching in the street and from balconies shouted as the bulls rumbled（发隆隆声）through the city’s old quarter, taking just over two and a half minutes to cover course.
The fiesta, famous for its all- night street parties, dates back to the late 16th century but gained world fame from Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises.
Tens of thousands from all over the world have been pouring into Pamplona for the yearly festival ever since.
72. In the first of Pamplona’s yearly runs, some runners __________.
A. were injured badly
B. sought out greater danger
C. rushed with bulls
D. read about San Fermin on a Website
73. What Johnny said means the first run of the bulls _________.
A. was not as fearful as in the books
B. was a bit more fearful than in the books
C. was terribly scary
D. was as scary as in the books
74. Six steers were freed from the corral because _________.
A. the streets were a little bit wet
B. there are six bulls
C. the 900- yard course is through the city’s old quarter
D. they might keep the bulls in a group
75. The Pamplona’s yearly festival became world famous because __________.
A. there are all-night street parties
B. Ernest Hemingway wrote the novel The Sun Also Rises
C. many people from all over the world go to Pamplona
D. bulls jumped or stepped over the runners

Most people know what a hotdog is. It’s a sausage in a roll. But do you know why it’s called a hotdog? Well, the long red sausage which goes into a hotdog is called a Frankfurter. It got its name from the German town Frankfurt. The sausages were very popular, but hot frankfurters were difficult to sell in crowds. One man, Henry Stevens, had the job of feeding the crowds at baseball games. He had an idea, why not put the Frankfurters in long hot bread rolls? This made them easy to sell. The red sausages were hot and had an attractive taste, and became very popular. But in 1903, an American cartoonist drew a long German sausage dog in place of the Frankfurther. So a Frankfurter in a roll soon became known as a hotdog. It was a joke, but some people really thought the sausages contained dog meat. For a while sales of hotdogs fell, but not for long.

One possible version:
One day, Tony was walking home from work late at night when he heard someone walking behind him. He looked back, but it was too dark to see clearly. He started to feel nervous and began to walk more quickly. Just then, he could hear the person behind him walking faster. He got scared and began to run. Until that moment,he
hadn’t really noticed that a woman carrying a shopping bag was walking slowly in front of him. The moment he began to run, she screamed, dropped her shopping bag and turned to face him with a look of terror on her face. He stopped running and tried to smile at her. At that moment, the person he thought had been following him walked by, looking curiousl y at Tony and the woman. Tony picked up the woman’s packages and apologized for frightening her, but she still looked very annoyed.
