Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Telemedicine Is Transforming Healthcare[A]After years of big promises, telemedicine is finally living up to its potential. Driven by fasterinternet connections, ubiquitous(⽆处不在的)smartphones and changing insurance standards, more health providers are turning to electronic communications to do their jobs—and it's dramatically changing the delivery of healthcare.[B]Doctors are linking up with patients by phone, email and webcam(⽹络摄像头). They're alsoconsulting with each other electronically—sometimes to make split-second decisions on heart attacks and strokes. Patients,meanwhile, are using new devices to relay their blood pressure, heart rate and other vital signs to their doctors so they can manage chronic conditions at home.Telemedicine also allows for better care in places where medical expertise is hard to come by.Five to 10 times a day, Doctors Without Borders relays questions about tough cases from its physicians in Niger, South Sudan and elsewhere to its network of 280 experts around the world, and back again via the internet.[C]As a measure of how rapidly telemedicine is spreading, consider: More than 15 millionAmericans received some kind of medical care remotely last year, according to the A- merican Telemedicine Association, a trade group, which expects those numbers to grow by 30% this year.[D]None of this is to say that telemedicine has found its way into all comers of medicine. A recentsurvey of 500 tech-savvy(精通技术的)consumers found that 39% hadn't heard of telemedicine, and of those who haven't used it, 42% said they preferred in-person doctor visits. In a poll of 1,500 family physicians, only 15% had used it in their practices —but 90% said they would if it were appropriately reimbursed (补偿).[E]What's more, for all the rapid growth, significant questions and challenges remain. Rulesdefining and regulating telemedicine differ widely from state to state. Physicians groups are issuing different guidelines about what care they consider appropriate to de-liver and in what form.[F]Some critics also question whether the quality of care is keeping up with the rapid expansion oftelemedicine. And there*s the question of what services physicians should be paid for：Insurance coverage varies from health plan to health plan, and a big federal plan covers only a narrow range of services. Telemedicine*s future will depend on how—and whether—regulators, providers, payers and patients can address these challenges. Here's a closer look at some of these issues:[G]Do patients trade quality for convenience? The fastest-growing services in telemedicine connectconsumers with clinicians they've never met for a phone, video or email visit— on-demand,24/7. Typically, these are for nonemergency issues such as colds, flu, ear-aches and skin rashes, and they cost around $ 45, compared with approximately $ 100 at a doctor*s office, $ 160 at an urgent-care clinic or $ 750 and up at an emergency room.[H]Many health plans and employers have rushed to offer the services and promote them as aconvenient way for plan members to get medical care without leaving home or work. Nearly three-quarters of large employers will offer virtual doctor visits as a benefit to employees this year, up from 48% last year. Web companies such as Teladoc and A- merican Well are expected to host some 1.2 million such virtual doctor visits this year, up 20% from last year, according to the American Telemedicine Association.[I]But critics worry that such services may be sacrificing quality fbr convenience. Consulting arandom doctor patients will never meet, they say, further fragments the health-care system, and even minor issues such as upper respiratory（上呼吸道的）in_ fections can't be thoroughly evaluated by a doctor who can*t listen to your heart or feel your swollen glands. In a recent study, researchers posing as patients with skin problems sought help from 16 telemedicine sites—with unsettling results. In 62 encounters, fewer than one-third disclosed clinicians7 credential or let patients choose；only 32% discussed potential side effects of prescribed medications. Several sites misdiagnosed serious conditions, largely because they failed to ask basic follow-up questions, the researchers said. w Telemedicine holds enormous promise, but these sites are just not ready for prime time,M says Jack Resneck, the study *s lead author. [J]The American Telemedicine Association and other organizations have started accreditation （鉴定）programs to identify top-quality telemedicine sites. The American Medical Association this month approved new ethical guidelines for telemedicine, calling fbr participating doctors to recognize the limitations of such services and ensure that they have sufficient information to make clinical recommendations.[K]Who pays for the services? While employers and health plans have been eager to cover virtual urgent-care visits, insurers have been far less willing to pay for telemedicine when doctors use phone, email or video to consult with existing patients about continuing issues. "It's very hard to get paid unless you physically see the patient," says Peter Rasmussen, medical director of distance health at the Cleveland Clinic. Some 32 states have passed "parity”（等同的）laws requiring private insurers to reimburse doctors forservices delivered remotely if the same service would be covered in person, though not necessarily at the same rate or frequency. Medicare lags further behind. The federal health plan for the elderly covers a small number of telemedicine services—only for beneficiaries in rural areas and only when the services are received in a hospital, doctor's office or clinic.[L]Bills to expand Medicare coverage of telemedicine have bipartisan（两党的）support in Congress. Opponents worry that such expansion would be costly for taxpayers, but advocates say it would save money in the long run.[M]Experts say more hospitals are likely to invest in telemedicine systems as they move away from fee-fbr-service payments and into managed-care-type contracts that give them a set fee to provide care for patients and allow them to keep any savings they achieve.[N]Is the state-by-state regulatory system outdated? Historically, regulation of medicine has been left to individual states. But some industry members contend that having 50 different sets of rules, licensing fees and even definitions of "medical practice" makes less sense in the era of telemedicine and is hampering its growth. Currently, doctors must have a valid license in the state where the patient is located to provide medical care, which means virtual-visit companies can match users only with locally licensed clinicians. It also causes administrative hassles（⿇烦）for world-class medical centers that attract patients from across the country. At the Mayo Clinic, doctors who treat out-of- state patients can follow up with them via phone, email or web chats when they return home, but they can only discuss the conditions they treated in person. "If the patient wants to talk about a new problem, the doctor has to be licensed in that state to discuss it. If not, the patient should talk to his primary-care physician about it," says Steve Ommen, who runs Mayo's Connected Care program.[O]To date, 17 states have joined a compact that will allow a doctor licensed in one member state to quickly obtain a license in another. While welcoming the move, some telemedicine advocates would prefer states to automatically honor one another's licenses, as they do with drivers* licenses. But states aren't likely to surrender control of medical practice, and most are considering new regulations. This year, more than 200 telemedicine-related bills have been introduced in 42 states, many regarding what services Medicaid will cover and whether payers should reimburse for remote patient monitoring. M A lot of states are still trying to define telemedicine，'‘ says Lisa Robbin, chief advocacy officer for the Federation of State Medical Boards.36.An overwhelming majority of family physicians are willing to use telemedicine if they are dulypaid.37.Many employers are eager to provide telemedicine service as a benefit to their employeesbecause of its convenience.38.Different states have markedly different regulations for telemedicine.39.With telemedicine, patients in regions short of professional medical service are able to receivebetter medical care.40.Unlike employers and health plans, insurers have been rather reluctant to pay for some2020.9 第4页/共20页（第2套）telemedicine services.41.Some supporters of telemedicine hope states will accept each other's medical practice licenses asvalid.42.The fastest growing area for telemedicine services is for lesser health problems.43.As telemedicine spreads quickly, some of its opponents doubt whether its service quality can beguaranteed.44.The results obtained by researchers who pretended to be patients seeking help from telemedicineproviders are disturbing.45.Some people argue that the fact that different states have different regulations concerningmedical services hinders the development of telemedicine.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Danielle Steel, the 71-year-old romance novelist is notoriously productive, having published 179 books at a rate of up to seven a year. But a passing reference in a recent profile by Glamour magazine to her 20-hour workdays prompted an outpouring of admiration.Steel has given that 20-hour figure when describing her "exhausting" process in the past："I start the book and don't leave my desk until the first draft is finished.M She goes from bed, to desk, to bath, to bed, avoiding all contact aside from phone calls with her nine children. W I don't comb my hair for weeks," she says. Meals are brought to her desk, where she types until her fingers swell and her nails bleed.The business news website Quartz held Steel up as an inspiration, writing that if only we all followed her w actually extremely liberating M example of industrious sleeplessness, we would be quick to see results.Well, indeed. With research results showing the cumulative effects of sleep loss and its impact on productivity, doubt has been voiced about the accuracy of Steel's self-assessment. Her output may be undeniable, but sceptics have suggested that she is guilty of erasing the role of ghostwriters (代笔⼈)at worst, gross exaggeration at best.Steel says working 20 hours a day is u pretty brutal physically.M But is it even possible? "No," says Maryanne Taylor of the Sleep Works. While you could work that long, the impact on productivity would make it hardly worthwhile. If Steel was routinely sleeping for four hours a night, she would be drastically underestimating the negative impact, says Alison Gardiner, founder of the sleep improvement programme Sleepstation. "It's akin to being drunk."It's possible that Steel is exaggerating the demands of her schedule. Self-imposed sleeplessness has w become a bit of a status symbol" , says Taylor, a misguided measure to prove how powerful and productive you are. Margaret Thatcher was also said to get by on four hours a night, while the 130-hour work weeks endured by tech heads has been held up as key to their success.That is starting to change with increased awareness of the importance of sleep for mental health."People are starting to realise that sleep should not be something that you fit in between everything else，'‘ says Taylor. But it is possible—if statistically extremely unlikely—that Steel could be bom a "short sleeper" with an unusual body clock, says sleep expert Dr. Sophie Bostock. "It's probably present in fewer than 1% of the population.vEven if Steel does happen to be among that tiny minority, says Bostock, it's H pretty irre-sponsible M to suggest that 20-hour days are simply a question of discipline for the rest of us.46.What do we learn from the passage about Glamour magazine readers?A)They are intrigued by the exotic romance in Danielle SteeFs novels.B)They are amazed by the number of books written by Danielle Steel.C)They are deeply impressed by Danielle Steel's daily work schedule.D)They are highly motivated by Danielle SteeFs unusual productivity.47.What did the business news website Quartz say about Danielle Steel?A)She could serve as an example of industriousness.B)She proved we could liberate ourselves from sleep.C)She could be an inspiration to novelists all over the world.D)She showed we could get all our work done without sleep.48.What do sceptics think of Danielle Steel's work schedule claims?A)They are questionable. C) They are irresistible.B)They are alterable. D) They are verifiable.49.What does Maryanne Taylor think of self-imposed sleeplessness?A)It may turn out to be key to a successful career.B)It may be practiced only by certain tech heads.C)It may symbolise one*s importance and success.D)It may well serve as a measure of self-discipline.50.How does Dr. Sophie Bostock look at the 20-hour daily work schedule?A)One should not adopt it without consulting a sleep expert.B)The general public should not be encouraged to follow it.C)One must be duly self-disciplined to adhere to it.D)The majority must adjust their body clock for it.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Organic agriculture is a relatively untapped resource for feeding the Earth's population, especially in the face of climate change and other global challenges. That,s the conclusion I reached in reviewing 40 years of science comparing the long-term prospects of organic and conventional farming.The review study, u Organic Agriculture in the 21st Century,M is featured as the cover story for the February issue of the journal Nature Plants. It is the first to compare organic and conventional agriculture across the main goals of sustainability identified by the National Academy of Sciences: productivity, economics, and environment.Critics have long argued that organic agriculture is inefficient, requiring more land to yield the same amount of food. It's true that organic farming produces lower yields, averaging 10 to 20 percentless than conventional. Advocates contend that the environmental advantages of organic agriculture far outweigh the lower yields, and that increasing research and breeding resources for organic systems would reduce the yield gap. Sometimes excluded from these arguments is the fact that we already produce enough food to more than feed the world,s 7.4 billion people but do not provide adequate access to all individuals.In some cases, organic yields can be higher than conventional. For example, in severe drought conditions, which are expected to increase with climate change in many areas, organic farms can produce as good, if not better, yields because of the higher water-holding capacity of organically farmed soils.What science does tell us is that mainstream conventional farming systems have provided growing supplies of food and other products but often at the expense of other sustainability goals.Conventional agriculture may produce more food, but it often comes at a cost to the en-vironment. Biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and severe impacts on ecosystem services have not only accompanied conventional farming systems but have often extended well beyond their field boundaries. With organic agriculture, environmental costs tend to be lower and the benefits greater.Overall, organic faims tend to store more soil carbon, have better soil quality, and reduce soil erosion compared to their conventional counterparts. Organic agriculture also creates less soil and water pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions. And it's more energy-efficient because it doesn't rely on synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.Organic agriculture is also associated with greater biodiversity of plants, animals, insects and microorganisms as well as genetic diversity. Biodiversity increases the services that nature provides and improves the ability of farming systems to adapt to changing conditions.Despite lower yields, organic agriculture is more profitable for farmers because consumers are willing to pay more. Higher prices, called price premiums, can be justified as a way to compensate farmers for providing ecosystem services andavoiding environmental damage or external costs.51.What do we learn from the conclusion of the author's review study?A)More resources should be tapped fbr feeding the world*s population.B)Organic farming may be exploited to solve the global food problem.C)The long-teim prospects of organic farming are yet to be explored.D)Organic farming is at least as promising as conventional farming.52.What is the critics* argument against organic farming?A)It cannot meet the need for food. C)It is not really practical.B)It cannot increase farm yields. D)It is not that productive.53.What does the author think should be taken into account in arguing about organic farming?A) Growth in world population. C)Inequality in food distribution.B) Deterioration in soil fertility. D)Advance in farming technology.54.What does science tell us about conventional farming?A)It will not be able to meet global food demand.B)It is not conducive to sustainable development.C)It will eventuaDy give way to organic farming.D)It is going mainstream throughout the world.55.Why does the author think higher prices of organic farm produce are justifiable?A)They give farmers going organic a big competitive edge.B)They motivate farmers to upgrade farming technology.C)Organic farming costs more than conventional fanning.D)Organic farming does long-term good to the ecosystem.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Today I'm going to talk about small talk--that is, short conversations people often have with strangers they meet, such exchanges occurring at bus stops, on buses, on a waiting line, almost anywhere thatstrangers gather close together. As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness. Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics. The topics include weather, customer service, movies, TV shows, local sports or latest news. But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations. Besides, it's better to ask open-ended questions. If you ask visitors “Do you like our city? ” They may say simply "Yes ". On the other hand, if you ask, "What do you think of our city? " They would have more freedom to answer it. This kind of question also shows that you're interested in them. If you appear interested in what people are saying, they feel more comfortable talking with you.。

Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This islikely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.36. The passage mainly tells us that____.A. man’s life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. man’s organs’functions will be one the wane37. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.38. The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because____A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain’s capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.39. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.40. It is implied that ____.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable.BWith the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today, the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily increasing. One of the biggest such industries is the tourist industry.Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists ---- and guides, brochures, souvenirs ---- is one of the major industries in many countries. Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the world, this business will no doubt continue to grow. Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment. Movies, TV shows, concerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure. The same can be said of most books, except textbooks. Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time. This list could be greatly extended. But even among these industries, we have mentioned only part of the picture. The people who make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as much a part of the leisure industry as the singers or the hotel clerks.41. What makes leisure business important according to the passage?A. People’s leisure time is increasing.B. More and more people begin to show great interests in seeing other parts of the world.C. Improved transportation and accommodation conditions.D. Longer vacations are offered than before.42. What do we know about entertainment from the passage?A. It is the biggest leisure industry.B. Movies, TV shows, concerts and books are usually intended for our leisure.C. People are usually reluctant to pay to watch professional sports.D. Making TV sets and building theatres are also part of entertainment industry.43.What’s main idea of this passage?A. With people having more leisure time, tourist industry becomes the biggest industry in many countries.B. With people having more leisure time, entertainment industry becomes one of the major industries in many countries.C. With people having more leisure time, leisure business is becoming more important in economic life.D. With people having more leisure time, leisure business list is being extended.CThirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In everyhigh street through out Britain nowadays there is at least one “Do-it-Yourself”shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. “Do-it-Yourself”is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.44.Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?A. Because they could not do it themselves.B. Because professional workers were very cheap.C. Because they had no time.D. Because professional workers could do much better.45.Thirty years later what changes took place?A. People could do everything themselves.B. Few people chose to be a professional workerC. People with no professional training successfully built their own houses.D. New expensive materials required no skills at all.46.What caused the DIY craze?A. Young people liked to follow the fashion.B. “Do-it-Yourself”is a booming business.C. There were fewer building companies.D. High cost of professional workers.47. What is the speaker telling us ?A. How DIY comes into being.B. Changes in building.C. Changes in housing.D. Great changes in these thirty years.DI used to be a faithful TV watcher. Besides the latest information, I ‘d love to appreciate beautiful exotic sceneries and enjoy the evening with my favorite singers, actors and hosts. It was the advertisement that frustrated me. Ad is a great annoyance of watching television. In the first place, the ads waste time. Generally speaking, at least 5 or 6 minutes is lost when watching the ads during a single news program, and usually 10 to 15 or even more during a good movie. In the second place, the ads often interrupt the viewer. The viewer may forget the situation of a show because of frequently inserted ads; even worse, the watcher may lose his pleasant mood when the ads come on one after another, which can bring negative psychological influence such as disappointment, depression, anxiety and so on so forth. Besides, the ads make many products look more appealing than they really are, some of which even look so disgusting. For example, an expensive car is made to seem luxurious, or a bad product like deodorant is made to look very good by showing a beautiful amazing lady taking shower! Therefore, the television viewer must be aware and critical of the ad in order to endure them.48.Why the author was one of the TV fans in the past?A. Because he could stay with his favorite stars the whole evening.B. Because he could travel the world without going out.C. Because he could get the news which couldn’t be found on newspapers.D. Because he could make friends on TV.49. What feelings may ads bring to the viewers when inserted frequently, according to the author?.A. disappointed B. depressed C. anxious D. unpleasant50.Which statement is not true according to the passage?A. Ads are frustrations during watching TV.B. Ads occupy too much viewer’s time when they watch TV..C. Ads often cause interruptions which will destroy the viewer’s mood..D. Ads present the viewer much information about the best products.51. What can we infer from the passage?A. Ads time should be reasonably controlled.B. More and more people choose not to watch TV.C. Programs on TV are not worth watching.D. Ads mustn’t be showed on TV at all.EMcDonald’s is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company’s symbol Ronald McDonald is now (or so the company claims) the word’s most recognized person after Santa Claus.The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick”McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald’s chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers’chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m(￡44m). Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc’s claim that the chain was his creation.Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc (who died in 1984) at McDonald’s, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald’s, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac (1968) and the Egg McMuffin (1973); and helped launch Ronald McDonald ---- “in any language he means fun”---- on to television in 1963.Every three hours, a new McDonald’s franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India (vegetarian-only toavoid offending the non-beef-eating populace) and Israel (non kosher, despite fierce local objection). McDonald’s chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve go time to clean.”52. McDonald’s was founded _____.A. by a kitchen equipment salesman .B. in California.C. by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald.D. after the first World War.53. What do we know about McDonald’s brothers?A. They were not McDonald’s founders although they named the restaurant.B. Their business was still in depression after several years.C. They had clear job separation on business.D. They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.54. Which is not Kroc’s contribution to McDonald’s ?A. He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television.B. Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fameC. He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.D. He built McDonald’s empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.55. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founderB. The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.C. Employees in McDonald’s have no time to lean.D. The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to the word most recognized person after Santa Claus.56. This passage is mainly concerned with _____.A. brief history of McDonald’s.B.

McDonald brothers, founder of McDonald’s.第四部分写作第一节短文改错Sussex police ordered to search a six-foot, dark-haired 57____________youth about 20 he failed to rob an old lady –Mrs West. 58____________The youth rushed at the lady and tried to bring her 59____________things and money then she was walking through the street. 60___________Surprisingly, however, the old lady grasped the robber 61____________wrist (手腕) and it made him let out of a cry “Oh, no! 62____________Stop!”and ran away. “If I had been carrying my shopping, 63____________I would real have put him on his back,”said Mrs West 64____________who took a course in judo (柔道) when younger. “When my 65____________ husband was living.
