If Mickey Mouse slips (滑倒)on a banana skin on TV, viewers laugh. But for ordinary people, falling is not 36 . For example, if you 37 off your bike, you have to take days to get well. For 38 people, the result of a fall could be worse.
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, wanted to know why some people are 39 likely to fall than others.

People 44 to fall more often as they grow older because their senses are slower.

“We actually 46 people slip and fall,” researcher Mark Redfern said. People of different ages fall on 47 in his lab. Cameras 48 their falls and a computer analyzes the information. Scientists then can 49 people who fall often how to be more watchful.
“If they get 50 to a lifelike but controlled environment, people can 51 learn to handle the 52 thing,” Redfern said.

The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams(毫克) of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, and
what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.
In fact, you r drinking ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you’re below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving had been affected by alcohol.
It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you’re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you’ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.
In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the less able they were to do it!
So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.
Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration (浓度) of more than twice the legal limit.
It is important to remember that driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If you’re involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure.
59. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?
A. Three standard drinks may cause some people to reach the legal limit .
B. There is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach the legal limit .
C. The legal limit for driving after drinking is 0.08g of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood.
D. The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching legal limit is the same for
different people.
60. We may infer that even a professional driver will find hard to pass through a driving test if he
drinks_______.
A．heavily B．a little C．every day D．occasionally
61. This passage indicates that ________.
A．a driver who does not take any alcohol will not die in road accidents.
B．those who drink must be killed.
C．more young men die in drink-related accidents than in any other way.
D．one in three of the drivers often drinks a lot.
62. One of the writer’s purposes in writing the passage is to tell you that_________.
A．young men should never drive quickly.
B．driving after drinking may put many lives at risk.
C．safe drinking is impossible.
D．the manner of drinking is meaningless.
C
Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive〔欺骗〕. When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can create a false impression.
For example，a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It
was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars！”
This guy’s a winner，right？Maybe, maybe not. Then later I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets，and only one was a winner. He was really a big loser！
He didn’t say any thing that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates（候选人）in political campaigns often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents（对手）runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs！”That’s true. However，an honest statement would have been quite different.
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims, so they try to mislead you with the truth．An ad might blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors use Yucky Pills to cure nose diseases.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors; and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception(欺骗) happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
63. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Governor Smith often tells half truths.
B. Important information can create a false impression.
C. Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.
D. Sometimes the truth can be used in dishonest ways.
64. The underlined word “omitted” ( paragraph 4 ) means________.
A. gave up
B. left out
C. told about
D. found out
65. From the passage, we can learn that________.
A. during Governor Smith’s last term, her state got a net gain(净增) of three million jobs
B. the man who says he won l00 dollars on the lottery actually lost 100 dollars
C. advertisers and politicians often break the law by making false claims
D. 90 percent of the doctors believe Yucky Pills can cure nose diseases
66. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain the relationship between truths and lies.
B. To tell people what half-truths really mean.
C. To advise people to be honest in giving information.
D. To warn people to be careful of what they read and hear.
D
