His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole ma king a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.45. When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ___.A. a surgeonB. an army manC. a sailorD. a life-saver46.

His experience in the Army proved that ___.A. he was good at medical operations on the woundedB. he succeeded in teaching people how to save their lives themselvesC. a doctor was the happiest manD. his wish of being a life-saver could hardly come trueCIn 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walter Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said, “Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film, The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody, like Mickey.In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared—there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on the television and hear that famous voice.48. Who made Donald Duck cartoons?A. Mickey Mouse.B. Clarence Nash.C. Walter Disney.D. Pluto.49.

In the theatre.DAs we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of the Independence. Hewrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress. As a result, he became famous.Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics.Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom on America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as President, Jefferson never vetoed a bill which Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the 50th anniversary of American Independence.52.

It is believed that China had tea as early as five to six thousand years ago, and the history of tea planting dates back to two thousand years.At present, more than forty countries in the world produce 90% of the world’s total tea. All tea trees in other countries have their beginnings directly or indirectly from China. The word for tea leaves or tea as a drink in many countries comes from the Chinese character “cha”.The habit of tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century, but it was not introduced to Europe and America till the 17th and 18th centuries. Now the number of tea drinkers in the world is very large and is still growing.Tea has been a necessary part of people’s daily lives in China for a long time. Countless numbers of people like to have a cup of tea after a meal.In summer, tea seems to drive away the heat and bring on a cool feeling together with a feeling of relaxation.In medicine, the tea leaf is very important to people who live mainly on meat.A popular saying says, “I’d rather go without salt for three days than without tea for a single day.”Tea is also rich in various vitamins and, for smokers, it helps to remove nicotinefrom the body. After drinking wine, strong tea may prove to be a good way to keep one’s mind clear.The above, however, does not mean that a stronger tea is better. Too much strong tea is bad for the stomach and can cause indigestion(消化不良). Drinking strong tea just before bedtime will make it hard for people to fall asleep. Often drinking very strong tea may give some people heart and blood pressure disorders, and make the teeth of young people turn brown. But it is not difficult to prevent these undesirable (不受欢迎的) effects: just don’t make your tea too strong.11. ________ is the most popular drink in the world.A. coffeeB. teaC. juiceD. cacacola12. _____ is the second earliest country that has the habit of tea drinking.A.

This is because apples were one of the first foods that medical professionals recognized as healthy—their benefits became obvious when, quite simply, doctors found that people who ate apples were sick less often than those who did not. Today we have a more specific understanding of why apples are so beneficial to overall health.Apples can help keep your levels of bad cholesterol (胆固醇) down. The pectin(果胶) in apples helps you to maintain cardiovascular health and reduce LDL cholesterol(which is the “bad” kind). Apples themselves do n ot add cholesterol to your diet and are full of water and fiber to help prevent the cholesterol in other foods you might digest. According to Health Diaries, people who eat two apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent.Apples are naturally low in calories and high in water content. Eating an apple can satisfy your hunger and keep you from reaching for high-sugar, high-calories snacks. By eating apples, you will be more able to maintain a healthy weight because they fill you up, potentially stopping you from eating food that encourages a waistline increase.Apples contain respectable levels of boron (硼), which helps build healthy bones, and can also prevent diseases like arthritis. Apples are rich in vitamin C, which is known to help build immunity.Studies have shown that apples can decrease the risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and liver cancer. One theory is that the apple skins are responsible for this, so be sure not to peel your apple before you eat them, as you could remove some of the health benefits.16.

Inside was a letter. “Dearest Andrew,” it began, “there was never a right time to tell you.”Along with the letter was my adoption paperwork—“Parents: unknown”—and two newspapers. The first described a newborn baby, wrapped in a pink blanket, discovered on a doorstep by a paperboy. The second was from a year later, reporting that the baby was still in a children’s home, yet to be adopted.It was a shock. My childhood was happy; my adoptive father died when I was eight, but my mother made sure I couldn’t have had a more loving home. I didn’t do anything about trying to find out my birth parents for 15 years. However, there were so many questions. Why did my mother abandon me? Did she get into trouble? I didn’t feel angry with her for leaving me, but I wanted to know more about the circumstances surrounding my birth.I started to research my history and went on local television news. Amazingly,a man called Ronnie got in touch with the TV station, saying I reminded him of his father, Angus. We met up and I was surprised to see a man 20 years my senior. We arranged a DNA test. The results were positive—Ronnie was my half-brother.Ronnie told me that my father would have been 60 when I was born. He died before I started my search. My father was having an affair with a young woman during the year of my birth, but she is now married with her own family and I should respect her privacy. I would like my questions answered, but not at the expense of her happiness. “Abandoned” is such a sensitive word, but I don’t feel any sadness or rejection, because I don’t know the circumstances of my birth. Instead, I feel unique.21.
