New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen
on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the
city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact,
they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole Unite States.
The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and
it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.
A blacksmith's job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece
of metal and then fit it to the horse's foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the
time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse's leg while
he works. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses--for before
the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.
One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because
his father did it, and, as he puts it, "It's a good way to make a living."

For most of us, body weight goes up with age---an average of one pound a year after 25, according to the American Medical Association. What's more, added weight is likely to be composed primarily of fat, not muscle. The reasons are as follows.
1) As we age, most of us become less active, and the body's basal metabolism (基础代谢) rate slows a little each year. So our food-energy requirements--the number of calories needed to maintain weight-decrease. For example, a man might require 2 500 calories a day at age 20, 2 000 at 35 and only 1 800 at 15.
2) Starting in our 20s, the proportion of muscle mass to body fat tends to decline. The body of an average 20-year-old woman is 26.5 percent fat. By 35, it is 33 percent, at 50, 42 percent.
3) As we grow older, we shrink-not from side to side, unfortunately, but from top to bottom. In our mid30s, we begin to lose more bone than we make. One result: less height to hang our weight on, which makes us look thicker than we once did.
4) Exercising becomes harder with age. Our muscles can begin to lose strength and elasticity (弹性) as early as age 20. By 40, heart and lung power has begun to drop, and the body becomes more likely to be injured.
13. What is the passage about?
A. The mason why old people usually weigh more than they once did.
B. The reason why added weight is likely to be composed primarily of fat, not muscle.
C. The reason why we become less active when we age.
D. The reason why our body weight goes up one pound a year after 25.
14. What does the writer mean by "As we grow older, we shrink"?
A. As we grow older, we become shorter.
B. As we grow older, we become thinner.
C .As we grow older, we become more depressed.
D. As we grow older, we become more active.
15. Why does exercising become harder with age?
A. Our muscles are older and weaker.
B. The possibility of injury increases.
C. Heart and lung don't work as well as before.
D. All of the above.
16. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The body weight increases as one grows older.
B. The basal metabolism rate of an active person is always very high.
C. The food-energy requirement for one certain person is fixed
D. We need less calories to maintain our weight as we grow older.

One of the interesting things about Cuba is its educational system. As in many other countries, schools are free. What is unusual is that schools combine study with manual work. Each school has a plot (--:ffl~:) of land where the children work for each day. They plant vegetables, which they weed and water, and later they harvest the crops. In this way, they develop good working habits and learn how important it is to produce. Usually, children do not like vegetables such as spinach (菠菜), green beans, or cabbage. But by growing vegetables themselves, Cuban children soon develop a taste for them. During the summer, older children also go to the country to help the farmers with the crops.
In this system, the children spend part of their school time studying and the rest working in the open air helping increase the nation's production.
17. How is Cuba's educational system different from that of other countries?

B. Schools force childen to work.

A. Fewer hours for classroom study than for manual work.
B. Part of the classroom study and the rest for manual work.
C. Half of the time studying and the other half working on the land.
D. Most of the time studying and the rest playing in the open air.
19. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
A. The nation's production is increased.
B. Children go to the country to help the farmers with the crops once a year.
C. Children enjoy working in the open air.
D. Children grow less interested in study.
