No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical(圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love." To myself, I had tq admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment l kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks great on you.""Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn' s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me. ' We walked on the beach while the Children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that' s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression."What's the matter?" I asked her."Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "do you know something I don' t?""What do you mean?""Well ... that checkup({体检) I had several weeks ago ... our doctor ... did he tell you something about me? Tom, you' ye been so good to me ..- am I dying?"It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing."No, honey, ' I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You' re not dying; I' m just starting to live."63. In the first paragraph, "No ifs, ands or buts" probably means_____.A. unnecessarilyB. unexpectedlyC. impossiblyD. unconditionally64. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______A. with his familyB. with EvelynC. aloneD. with his children65. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife becauseA. she looked lovely in her new clothes______B. he had made a lot of money in Wall StreetC. he was determined to be a good husbandD. she was seriously iii66. The underlined words "one thing" in the text refer to the fact that _A. he praised her sweater, which puzzled her.B. she insisted on visiting a museum, which he ~nated.C. he knew something about her illness but didn' t tell her.D. he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.67. By saying "l' m just starting to live," Tom means that __A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeB. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husbandC. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeD. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife beforeDAlthough intelligence has been studied, and the brain has been studied, there is little understanding of how the brain works to produce intelligence. This has something to do with thefact that the brain contains around 100 billion cells( about the number Of stars in the Milky Way).One of the continuing myths about the relationship between intelligence and the brain is that the brains of very clever people are somehow physically different from those of ordinary people. At the beginning of the century an American scientist called E.A. Spitzka produced a list of the weights of the brains of important, well-known men. The heaviest brain on the list was that of Turgenev, the Russian novelist, at 2000g. However, the brain of another genius,Walt Whitman, weighed only 1282g.There are similarities between brains and computers. Computers can do complicated calculations at unbelievable speeds. But they work in a fixed way, because they can' t make memory associations. If we need a screwdriver and there isn' t one, we will think laterally (横向) and use a knife or coin instead. Computers can' t do this. In fact, it is claimed that whent comes to seeing, moving and reacting to stimuli( 刺激), no computer can compete with even the brain power of a fly.Most 'of our mental processes are deeply formed habits. Challenging your brain to do things differently helps it develop. Try changing routines as often as you can: take a bus instead of going by car, sit in a different chair. An extreme but useful exercise is to read something upside down -- you can actually feel your brain at work.Exercise more. Good health and fitness levels give you overall improved energy which leads to better concentration.Cooking is a good all-round mental exercise. It needs mathematical, organizational and scientific skills as well as challenging memory and creative ability. Use recipes at first and then learn to guess amounts, combinations, reactions of ingredients( i~[-d~t) and timing.Do puzzles and play games. Teach yourself to work out codes and expand your vocabulary at the same time.68. The brain is described in the text as a_____A. flyB. piece of art workC. cellD. machine69. The example of Walt Whitman is given to show that _A. he is not as clever as TurgenevB. there' s no relationship between weights of brain and intelligenceC. the bigger the brain, the cleverer the man.D. the brain of the genius is quite different from that of the ordinary70. The author mentions screwdriver to explain that____A. we can use something different instead of itB. only brain remembers the pastC. human brain is more powerful than computersD. brain works the same as computers71. The last 4 paragraphs of the text mainly tell us:_____A. Make your brain workB. Exercise is good for your healthC. Enjoy cooking rather than eatingD. Good habits should not be changedEJust a few weeks ago eight graffiti gang members were convicted (宣判) of causing 5,000 worth of damage on the London Underground. They are among more than 70 hard-core graffiti artists thought to be operating in London today. Most are aged under 20.Graffiti artists, or "grafters", operate in many British towns. They often work at night, covering walls, trains and railway stations in spray paint and marker pen.Some people regard graffiti as a form of vandalism(有意破坏). London Underground says that railusers find it ugly and offensive. It spends￡2 m a year dealing with graffiti, and has even introduced trains with graffiti-resistant paint. "We don' t think it' s artistic or creative --it's vandalism. It's a huge nuisance to our customers, and it's ugly and offensive," says Serena Holleyl a spokeswoman for London Underground."It creates a sense 'of disorder," says Richard Mandel, a lawyer who prosecuted起诉) the graffiti gang. "Passengers feel as if the whole rail system is out of control."British Transport Police has a graffiti unit designed to catch grafters in the act. It spent five months tracking down the recently prosecuted gang.Graffiti art can also be a dangerous pastime. London Underground says that some teenagers have died in accidents during night graffiti "raids(突袭) ".However, others say that graffiti at its best is an art form. Art galleries in London and New York have exhibited work by increasingly famous graffiti artists. "Of course graffiti is art.There's no question about that," says David Grob, director of the Grob Gallery in London.Even some of those who think graffiti is wrong admit that graffers are talented. "It' s just that their artistic talent is channeled in the wrong direction,' says Barry Kogan, a lawyer who represented Declan Rooney, one of the gang member.There is a difference between "good graffiti"' and vandalism, says Dean Colman, a 24- year-old graffiti artist. "I' d never spray private property, like someone' s house. Some graffitiare disgusting. There's a big difference between that and graffiti which can brighten up grey walls."Dean makes a living as a graffiti artist. His days of illegal spraying are behind him, he says. He has worked on a television programme about graffiti, designed a series of government posters, and decorated nightclubs. He has exhibited his work at Battersea Arts Centre in Lndon, and he hastaught graffiti-spraying in youth clubs.Dean sees himself as an artist, and thinks that graffiti art does not get due~ recognition. "There' s no graffiti art in the Tare Gallery and there should be," he says. *'Graffiti is as valid as any other art form."72. The attitude of London Underground is that graffiti is __A. kind of art, but a problem because some passengers don' t like itB. something to be stopped at all costsC. annoying but they have more serious problems to worry aboutD. causing the price of tickets to go up and therefore needs to be stopped73. The British Transport Police___A. have killed some "grafters" by accidentB. spent a lot of time trying to catch a group of graffiti artists.C. have recently criticised the behaviour of the London UndergroundD. don't know what to do about the problem74. Barry Kogan, who defended one of th'e convicted graffiti artists, thinks they _____A. should show their work in art galleriesB. should not have been convictedC. should use their abilities in different waysD. should be more careful when working in the Underground75. What do we know about Dean Colman?A. He has never broken the law.B. He's concerned about how little he earns from his work with graffiti.C.
