Thats the finding of an extensive study of Du
27、tch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish .The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fis
28、h can provide health benefits , particularly to the heart .Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States , with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year . But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that
29、consume more fish than Americans do . There are fewer heart disease deaths , for example , among the Eskimos of Greenland , who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day , and among the Japanese , whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces .For 20 years , the Dutch study followed 852 middl
30、e-aged men , 20 percent of whom ate no fish . At the start of the study , the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day with more men eating lean (瘦的) fish than fatty fish .During the next two decades , 78 of the men died from heart disease . The fewest deaths were among the
31、 group who regularly ate fish , even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos . This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age , high blood pressure , or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels .56Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ? AThe Dutch re
32、search has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease .BHeart doctors wont call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day .CAmong all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America .DThere is a low incidence of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenl
33、and .57The phrase “this relationship” (in Line 3, Para . 5) refers to the connection between and the incidence of heart disease .Athe amount of fish eaten Bregular fish-eating Cthe kind of fish eaten Dpeople of different regions 58The passage is mainly about .Athe high incidence of heart disease in
34、some countries Bthe effect of fish eating on peoples health Cthe changes in peoples diet Dthe daily fish consumption of people in different cultures 59Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States ? ABecause American people drink too much spirits .BBecause there are a great num
35、ber of fat people there .CThe author doesnt give a definite answer .DBecause American people eat too much fatty fish .60How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study ?A550, 000.B275,000.C110,000.D852.BNow, its time for some brief ne
36、ws items .Teens Go Online Some 13 million European children under 18 use the Internet for schoolwork , games and music according to research done by Nielsens “Netrating”. The study covered Britain , Germany , France , Italy and Spain . Experts advised parents to limit the time their kids spend on li
37、ne and keep them away from chat rooms .Chat to the magic Mum British author J. K. Rowling , mother of magic boy Harry Potter , will do an Internet interview about her new book “Harry Potter and the HalfBlood Prince” on June 26. Before the event , children are invited to send their questions about Ha
38、rry to the website . The book will hit stores in the US and UK on June 21 and will arrive in China in August .School SoldiersRussian school students will have to do basic military training in their final year of school , the government has decided . The lesson will include learning to fire guns , ma
39、rching drills and how to deal with a chemical , nuclear or biological attack . The activity is seen as part of a drive toward the education of their love for their country . Is it hard for you to get up early and get ready for classes ? Some students at Winter Park High School just roll out of bed i
40、n their pajamas （睡衣） and go to class in their own bedrooms , Of course , their teachers and classmates do not see them because all their class work is on the computer . The Florida High School , the states only online school , has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer . Students in
41、 this first online program take classes in algebra （代数）, American government , chemistry , computer , economics , and web-page design . They also have to go to regular school to attend other classes.61In the first news item , which country is NOT covered in the research ?ABritain .BFrance .CSweden .
42、DSpain .62Why will Russian school students have basic military training ?ATo get ready for a military parade .BTo learn to protect themselves .CTo gain some military knowledge .DTo develop their love for the country .63About Florida High School , which of these facts is true ? ASome of the students
43、have to attend classes at home instead of in the school .BThere are altogether 250 students who take classes in the classrooms .CAs the states only online school , it has 250 students who take classes by computer .DStudents cant take classes in algebra, American government , chemistry , computer and
44、 so on .64The news from Florida can be given a title “ ”.AGet up LateBOnline School CMagical ComputersDNo Teachers 65What is the second news item mainly about ?AJ. K. Rowling will have an Internet interview .BChildren will meet Harry Potters mother .CThe Harry Potter book will be available on the In
45、ternet .DThe Harry potter book will arrive in China in early June .CYou may be spending far too many of your present moments in efforts to win the approval of others , or in being concerned with some disapproval that you have encountered . We all enjoy applause , compliments (恭维) and praise , and ap
46、proval in itself is not unhealthy . Approval seeking is a misleading zone only when it becomes a need rather than a want .If you want the approval , you are simply happy to have the recognition of the other people . But if you need it , you are going to break down if you dont get it . Thats when the
47、 self-destructive forces move in . Similarly , when approvalseeking becomes a need , you give up a large part of yourself to the “outside person” whose advocacy（ 拥护）you must have. If they disapprove , then you are immobilized （使丧失机动性） （even in a small way）. In such a case , you have chosen to wear y
48、our self-worth on your sleeve for someone to rub or not to rub as they see fit . You feel good inside only if they decide to praise you .The need for approval of another person is bad enough , but the real trouble comes with the need for the approval of everyone for every act . If you carry around s
49、uch a need , then you are bound for a great deal of misery and frustration in your life . Moreover , you will be incorporating a wish washy （软弱无力的） nonperson self image that will result in the kind of selfrejection .The need for approval must go ! No question makes there . It must be completely got
50、rid of from your life if you are to gain personal fulfillment . Such need is a psychological dead end , with absolutely no benefits to you .66Approvalseeking is healthy when .Ayou need the approval Byou only want the approval Cyou need the approval of everyone for every act Dyou dont care about the
51、approval 67The self-destructive forces move in when .Ayou need the approval and you get it Byou want the approval and you get it Cyou need the approval but you dont get it Dyou want the approval but you dont get it 68What does the sentence “You have chosen to wear your self-worth on your sleeve for
52、someone to rub or not to rub as they see fit.” mean ?AYou have decided to give up yourself worth in order to get the approval .BYou have decided to change yourself worth in order to get the approval .CYou have decided to show yourself worth to others and allow them to make a judgment .DYou have deci
53、ded to put yourself worth in others hand and allow them to keep it or hurt it as they like .69The need for the approval of everyone for every act will eventually result in .Aself-rejection Breal troubles Cmisery Dfrustration 70What can we infer from the passage ?APeople can benefit from the need of
54、the approval .BBoth the want and need for approval are unhealthy .CThe need for the approval is a destructive feeling and people must get rid of it .DSince everyone enjoys praise and compliment, approvalseeking is a natural human need .DThe poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an
55、acceptable standard of living . People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor . Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem .As the general standard of living in the country rises , the poverty line does , too . Therefore , even with todays relat
56、ively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line . However , if these people had stable jobs , they could have an acceptable standard of living . Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs . For one thing , more th
57、an half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work . Over 40 percent of the poor people are children . By law , children less than 16 yeas old cannot work in many industries A large number of poor people are old . Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old , the norma
58、l retirement age .Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons : they are sick , they do not have any motivation , they have family problems , or they do not believe that they can find a job .Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one . Many poor adults never wen
59、t to high school . Therefore , when they look for jobs , they have few skills that they can offer .At the present time , the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways .First , if the national economy grows , businesses and industries hire more workers . Some of the
60、 poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment . Then they will no longer be below the poverty line .Second , if society invests in the poor , the poor will become more productive . If the government spends money on social programs , education ,and training for poor people , the poor w
61、ill have the skills to offer . Then it is more likely that they can find jobs .Finally , if the government distributes societys income differently , it raises some poor people above the poverty line . The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor . These payments to the
62、 poor are called welfare . In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare .Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem . However , at the present time , many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living .71The authors main p
63、urpose to write this article is .Ato define what the poverty line is Bto explain why some people live the poverty line Cto find solutions to the problem of poverty Dto show sympathy for those poor people 72Which of the following is NOT true ?ATen percent of the Americans live a poor life .BPoor peop
64、le are those who live below the poverty line .CThe poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises .DThe poverty line tends to be at the same level .73More than 40 percent of the poor people are children . This is mainly because .Athey do not have enough motivation Bthey are so young that
65、 they dont have the right to work Cthey fail to get enough education Dthey are very poor in health 74Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because .Athey do not have any motivation to work Bthey are not very self-confident Cthey are too young or too old to work Dthey have
66、 physical and family problems 75We may concluded from the passage that .Abetter solutions to the poverty problem are not yet found Bwelfare will enable them to be rich Cpoor people are sure to go out of the poverty line if they have chances to do business Demployment is the best solution to the pove

78、e than 6 hours , which is much less than required .There are several reasons for this . First of all , the students are burdened with too much homework . They have to bury themselves in doing homework all the while . Another important reason is that schools and parents pay much more attention to the
