by the mini-CEO himself．
"I like having my own company．I like being the boss," Harii told The Mirror． With

of orders at times．"
The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his

Canadian concept of space has contributed to the spreading cities．With no lack of land, their cities tend to grow horizontally, rather than vertically．Just about every house in town has a large grassy lawn and at least four trees: two at the front and two at the back．Vegetable gardens are optional．Add the municipally maintained trees that line the streets and you have towns occupying real forests．
Living in one of the least densely populated countries in the world, the Canadians have their own version of personal space．A general rule is never to advance closer than one meter to a person．But the distinct concept of how much physical distance you want to have between you and the next person may disappear once a friendship has been established．People are not above giving hugs, even between men．But once the physical embrace is concluded, the Canadians return to their conventional distance, that is, only close enough that one does not have to shout in order to be heard, The Canadians are noted for being exceptionally polite．A Canadian is quick to apologize even when it is you who unintentionally bumped him in the street．Pedestrians in smaller towns have to take care not even to look as if they would like to cross the street since cars are likely to stop and wait for them．
A woman suffering from amnesia （遗忘症） was discovered aimlessly wandering the streets of Los Angeles．Not knowing her own identity, police had only one clue: the woman was polite． So polite, in fact, they figured she had to be Canadian．Sure enough, when an all-points bulletin went out across Canada, it turned out that indeed she was．
Canadian politeness does not mean formality．The language etiquette （礼节） in Quebec follows much less formal lines than in France where one would never call a stranger
"tu"．To do so would be like walking up to the Prince of Wales and giving him a hearty slap on the back．
However, me Quebecois appear to consider anyone from the same province a brother or sister and "tu" their way around the countryside as if they know the entire world on first name terms．
63．How is the first paragraph developed?
A．By examples．B．By comparison．
C．By discussion．D．By classification．
64．From the passage, we can know that_____．
A．the Canadians have the tendency of building high buildings
B．the Canadians never apologize to strangers in the street
C．the physical distance the Canadians accept is one metre
D．formality is a necessary part of politeness in Canada
65．By mentioning the woman who suffers from amnesia, the author wants to illustrate that
A．police m Los Angeles are very devoted to their work
B．politeness has become a natural quality of the Canadians
C．people still remember to be polite even after becoming ill
D．the USA and Canada maintain a good relationship
66．After reading the passage, we can infer that in Canada_____．
A．people always keep much physical distance between each other
B．people in Quebec like being informal in their language etiquette
C．pedestrians in small towns have to be very careful before they cross the street D．people's concept of space has negatively affected the development of their cities
D
CLIMATE science is famously complicated, but one useful number to keep in mind is "climate sensitivity"．This measures the amount of wanning that can eventually be expected to follow a doubling in the atmospheric concentration of CO2 （carbon dioxide）．The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change（IPCC）, in its most recent summary of the science behind its predictions, published in 2007, estimated that, in present conditions, a doubling of ．CO2 would cause warming of about 3℃, with uncertainty of about a degree and a half in either direction．But it also says there is a small probability that the true number is much higher．Some recent studies have suggested that it could be as high as 10℃．
If that were true, disaster occurs．But a paper published in this week's Science, by Andreas Schmittner of Oregon State University, suggests it is not．In Dr Schmittner's analysis, the climate is less sensitive to CO2 than was feared．Existing studies of climate sensitivity mostly rely on data gathered from weather stations, which go back to roughly 1850．Dr Schmittner takes a different approach．His data come from the peak of the most recent．ice age, between 19,000 and 23,000 years ago．His group is not the first to use such data （ice cores, fossils, marine sediments and the like） to explore the climate's sensitivity to CO2 But their paper is the most thorough．Previous attempts had considered only small regions of the globe．He
has collected enough information to make an attempt at recreating the climate of the entire planet．
The result offers the rarest of things in climate science ?a bit of good news．The group's most likely figure for climate sensitivity is 2．3℃, which is more than half a degree lower than the consensus （公认的） figure, with a 66% probability that it lies between 1．7°and 2．6℃．More importantly, these results suggest an upper limit for climate sensitivity of around 3．2℃．
Before you take a break and start to celebrate, though, it is worth bearing in mind that this is only one study, and, like all such, it has its shortcomings．And although the study's geographical report is the most comprehensive so far for work of this type, there are still blank areas—notably in Australia, Central Asia, South America and the northern Pacific Ocean．
67．The studies conducted by Dr Schmittner's group show that ______．A．the climate may not be so sensitive to CO2
B．IPCC's predictions in 2007 are completely wrong
C．the geographical report is thorough and perfect
D．previous studies cover a large regions of the globe
68．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The group forecasts disasters will surely occur．
B．The research will make people feel relaxed and safe．-
C．Weather stations contribute to climate sensitivity studies．
D．The group is the first to explore climate's sensitivity．
69．The consensus figure of climate's sensitivity is about ______．A．2．3 B．2．6 C．2．9 D．3．2
70．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Natural Disasters Occur B．Disagreement Becomes Bigger
C．Research Range Grows D．Climate Sensitivity Proves Lower

Eat more， Play more—Weight Less
In the United States, 20 to 40 percent of the adult population have a "weight problem"．To many people, the cause seems obvious: we eat too much．But scientific evidence does little to support this idea．
Several modern studies have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people and that slim people are more active than fat people．
I believe that this shows overweight people can become relatively slim gradually via
a progressive program of regular exercise．The key is regular, enjoyable activity．Use of energy （calories） by the body falls into two categories．The first is energy used for essential bodily functions —digestion, heart beat, breathing —and BMR （新陈代谢）．In an average-sized adult, BMR requires about 1400 calories per day．The second category is energy used for physical activity —standing, walking and all other movements．Together with the BMR, it makes up total calorie use, which should be balanced by food intake for weight to remain stable．
For years now, we have known that dieting—especially severe dieting （400 calories per day, for instance）—decreases BMR．This is tlie body's defense system to keep energy when food supply is reduced．Unfortunately, it tends to weaken the diet's effects by enabling the body to "get by" on fewer calories．For this reason, I believe that severe dieting is not a good way to lose weight, and all dieting should be seen as a temporary measure．
In addition to helping weight loss and continued weight control, regular exercise has many other features to recommend it．While weight loss by dieting alone results in some loss of muscle as well as fat, weight loss by exercise and moderate dieting leads to an increased proportion of muscle mass．The regular exerciser has good heart function too．
Regular exercise helps to raise blood levels of high-density lipoprotein （HDL） and increased exercise leads to increased food intake and thus to increased intake of critical nutrients．
The benefits of eating more because of an increase in physical activity are not widely appreciated．Many people in this country, by actual measurement, have remarkably low calorie intake．Often the amount is so low （1200 to 1800 calories a day） that nutritionists worry about the adequacy of their vitamin and mineral intake．And too little food, with inadequate fiber content, leads in the old population to chronic constipation（长期便秘）．
To sum up, most Americans still get too little regular exercise, and it is within this group that almost all obesity is found．Severe dieting should not be used as it is unpleasant and tends to be self-defeating．Moderate dieting combined with regular exercise is much more effective and enjoyable．The choice is yours: life on the sofa,
