One night, he went out for a walk alone. It was late and the small street was dark and quiet. Suddenly he felt someone behind him. He turned his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him. The Italian was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch. He decided to follow him and get back the watch.Soon the Frenchman caught up with the Italian. Neither of them understood the other’s language. The Frenchman frightened the Italian with his fist (拳头) and pointed at the Italian’s watch. In the end the Italian gave up his watch to the Frenchman.When he returned to the hotel, the Frenchman told his wife what had happened. He was greatly surprised when his wife pointed to the watch on the table. Now he realized that by mistake he had robbed the watch and it was the Italian’s.56.

Neither of themBDuring the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doing certain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modern research hasdiscovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of researches done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We may not be able to think of the thing that happens to us. We may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but they're all kept there in the storehouse of the human mind.Earlier scientists thought that the power of one's brain got weaker and weaker as one grows older. But it is now thought that that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.60. In the 19th century, scientists found that a person would lose the power to do certain things .A. when he had drunk too muchB. after he did a quite different jobC. if he had been greatly frightenedD. if certain parts of his brain were hurt61. Scientists today are still unable to show exactly .A. what each part of the brain is doingB. which part of the brain is the most importantC. whether each part of the brain does the same workD. how many chemical changes take place in the brain each second62. It has been found that the brain usually works .A. in a very simple wayB. a little now and a little thenC. without any rest all day longD. in a fairly complicated (复杂的) way63. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Scientists are working hard to solve the mysteries of the brain.B. As many as six million changes take place in the brain every minute.C. A young man doing physical work is sure to have a much slower mind.D. Even an old man may have a quick mind only if his brain is given much exercise.CToday, the paintings by Vincent van Gogh are world-famous and worth many millions of dollars but while he was alive, Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting. He was a lonely, unhappy man who suffered from mental illness, and he died at the early age of 37.Vincent van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. His first connection with paintings came in 1869, when he got a job in the Goupil Gallery. He worked for this art dealer in London and Paris for four years before he became a teacher in England for a short time. He moved back to France in 1877 and soon began to paint.Vincent van Gogh was influenced by the famous artists that he met in Paris, where he returned to live in 1886. He did not stay long in the French capital. He was attracted by the vivid (鲜艳的) colors of the countryside and, in 1888, he moved to Aries, a small town in the south of France. There, he painted his most famous paintings, using strong brush strokes (画笔的笔触) and bright colors. Vincent van Gogh mainly painted landscapes, but he also produced portraits of local people, such as the doctor and the postman.It was around this time that Vincent van Gogh began to show signs of mental illness. In 1889, following an argument with another artist, he cut off his own ear. For a time, he lived in a mental hospital in Saint Remy. In 1890, Vincent van Gogh moved to a town called Auvers. For two months, he painted feverishly (狂热地). Then, one day, he went into the fields with a revolver (左轮手枪) and shot himself. He died from his wounds the next day.64.

Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat more quickly and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, andeven the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group that listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.68. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A. Laughter is good for health.B. Laughter helps to reduce pain.C. Laughter can make you become old quickly.D. Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our bodies.69.The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “”.A. delaysB. preventsC. increasesD. reduces70. Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?A. Because they want to earn more money.B. Because they want to improve their patients’ condition.C. Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh.D. Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.71. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Laughter is the best medicine.B. Laughter can reduce the effects of pain.C. Laughter clinics help patients improve their condition.D. Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health.EThe Man Who Never Puts a Foot WrongSome people do not like anything to be out of place. They are never late for work; they return their books to the library on time; they remember people's birthdays; they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Dodds is such a person.Mr. Dodds works in a bank, and lives on his own. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Dodds does not visit his sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Mark's seventeen birthdays. Last week Mr. Dodds had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast. He parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Straight away, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Dodds opened the door to find a policeman standing on the door­step.“What have I done wrong?” Mr. Dodds as ked himself. “Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay。
