A
It was eleven o’clock, and Mr. Sims had just asked the class to pay attention for the fiftieth time while he explained a math problem. Carson Webster was sitting over by the window trying to listen to the teacher, but his mind was not on the problem Mr. Sims was discussing. Carson’s mind was on a little mouse named Millie that was busily moving around in his pocket. Millie was not very
happy. At breakfast, she had climbed into Carson’s pocket and gone to sleep while Carson ate two pieces of bread and read the newspaper. Carson had forgotten Millie was there until he was halfway in class. Now that Millie’s morning sleep was over, she was ready to exercise. Luckily for Carson, Millie was in a pocket with a button, or he might be in serious trouble. “Carson?”Mr. Sims, who was usually rather strict with his students, was suddenly looking at Carson with his eyes wide open, rolling his stick in his hand. Carson had to pay attention.
“Could you please repeat the question?” said Carson, feeling his pocket.
“I asked if you would agree with the statement,” said Mr. Sims pleasantly. “Well, I’m not really attentive at the moment,” said Carson. “I think I would need to give it more consideration.” Carson did not have the slightest idea as to what Mr. Sims was talking about.
“I see,” said Mr. Sims seriously, “Then I guess you’re uncertain about whether the product of zero by any other number is always zero?”
“Oh, I know that,” said Carson, who could feel himself turning red as a couple of kids including Bob began to laugh. He knew his punishment would come soon. To his surprise, however, the teacher didn’t seem angry.
“I’m so glad,” said Mr. Sims, turning back to the blackboard. “Oh, and by the way, Carson,” he continued, “I think a cage would be a healthier place for your little friend. Would you agree with that statement?” Just at that time, Millie let out a weak but clear cry and stuck her head out of Carson’s pocket. “Yes,” Carson said with a smile, “I would totally agree with that statement!”
36. Which of the following is NOT a person’s name?
A. Carson.
B. Sims.
C. Millie.

37. Which of the following statements is true according to the story?

B. The little mouse escaped from Carson’s pocket in class.
C. Mr. Sims was too anxious to satisfy his students in class.
D. When Carson was in class, Millie was fast asleep in his pocket.
38. What do you think of Mr. Sims after reading the story?
A. He always gave his students punishment when they made trouble.
B. He was a teacher who was not only strict but also humorous.
C. He liked to ask his students to repeat what he said in class.
D. He was a teacher who was always kind to his students.

Not very long ago, the computer was a strange machine. Not many people understood it. Not many people said yes to it. Today much of that is changing. The first computer system was introduced for use in business in the mid-1950s. Since then, the number of computer systems used in business, government offices, and institutions has grown rapidly. In 1975, about 250,000 systems were in use in the United States. This figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.
The computer is an important factor in our lives. Each year we use computer more and more to help us to collect data and to provide us with information. At one time people thought computers were only useful to banks, department stores and governments. But today the rapidly increasing numbers of computers are used for many other purposes. Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected (影响) by a computer? The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer. The newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer. Even radio programmes are often prepared by computers.
Computers today are playing important roles in education, transportation and medicine. They are used to predict the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop defense systems. They are being used by businesses, governments and institutions. There is no doubt that their uses will become a greater part of our lives.
The influence (影响) of the computer is great. The list of its uses could go on and on. Computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.
43. Before the 1950s the computer was_________.
A. widely used
B. no use at all

A. doesn’t like computers
B. likes computers
C. thinks computers have developed rapidly
D. thinks we can’t live without computers

Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, and Columbia were opened soon after Harvard. In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men could go to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, and Greek. Little was known about science then. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.
In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training (训练) in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.
As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of school can’t offer it all.

The first Olympic Games were held at Olympia, ancient Greece as early as 776
B.C.. The Olympic Games were held once every four years to honor the Greek god Zeus. Sportsmen from many nations took part in the games. The Greek Olympics did not have as many sports programmes as the modern Olympic Games. There were only a short race—a race of about three miles and some other matches such as jumping, boxing, etc.
During the games all wars stopped. Soldiers were allowed to pass safely through enemy lines on their way to the games.
The last Greek Olympics were held in 388 A.D.. Then the Roman rulers ordered the games be stopped.
A Frenchman wished to renew the ideas of excellence of body, mind and spirit (精神) shown in the ancient Greek Olympics. He believed that the Olympic Games would bring about healthy competition among nations, so he decided to start the Olympic Games all over again. He succeeded. In 1896, the modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece. Since then the Olympics have been growing steadily (稳健地) with more and more nations and athletes taking part. They have much more programmes than the Greek Olympics. Athletes of many nations compete in various kinds of sports.
The Olympics have been held once every four years. They are held in a different city of the world. But they were not held in 1916, 1940, 1944 because of the world wars.
The Olympic flame burns throughout the Games. It is the flame of peace.

Olympic Games lasted for ______.

You may know all about vitamin C, but do you know why vitamin D is also important to your body? Experts from the Children’s Hospital in Boston, US, have said that some teens don’t get enough of this important nutrient.
Vitamin D is necessary for developing healthy bones. It is produced by the body with the help of sunlight. It can also be found in certain foods and drinks, such as livers (肝脏) and eggs. However, it is difficult to get enough vitamin D from food alone, which means enjoying the sunshine is very important.
The doctors who ran the study tested 307 teenagers to discover how much vitamin D was in their blood. They found that 74 of the children tested—nearly 25 per cent—had vitamin D deficiency (缺乏). Of those 74, 14 were severely short of the nutrient.
The doctors also found that the amount of the vitamin found in a child’s blood was affected by a number of factors. Vitamin D levels drop in winter, probably because less time is spent outside in the sunlight. Diet was also a key factor as well.
Even skin color has an influence, as people with darker skin find it more difficult to produce the vitamin.
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to many health problems for both children and adults. It is also believed that low levels of it can cause depression (抑郁).
53. Vitamin D is important to your body in the way that it ______.
A. helps to keep your liver work normally
B. helps to build your bones
C. helps to produce fresh blood
D. helps to take in nutrient from food
54. We know from this passage that ______.
A. 25 percent of the teenagers in the world have vitamin D deficiency
B. vitamin D plays an important role in a child’s blood
C. sunshine is one factor in gaining vitamin D for a human
D. the darker your skin is, the more vitamin D you’ll get
55. The best title for the passage would be ______.
A. Vitamin D and Your Blood
B. Where to Find Vitamin D
C. Teenagers and Vitamin D
D. Don’t Hide from the Sunshine
