46、 conductor that he had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is that you dont know your figures.”Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Rela

He had nothing but contempt (藐视) for the things most people set their hearts on - fame and riches and luxury (奢华), which, however, most of them never achieved though they had worked hard for a lifetime.

51、t that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors, I feel there are a number of reasons for this. Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has tur
52、ned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because go
53、od eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout t
54、heir lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣) , it also gives them time t
55、o eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.72.According to the
56、text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A.Those who often take exercise. B.Those who often watch television. C.Those who often have meals at home. D.Those who often walk to school.73.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because_. A.their parents often cook meals f
57、or them. B.they are too busy to go out and play. C.they cant choose what to eat. D.there are too many fast food shops around.74.The word “steering” underlined in the last sentence most probably means _. A.forcing. B.guiding. C.driving. D.moving.75.The main purpose of the text is to _. A.tell a story
58、. B.provide facts. C.give advice.

Try to make strangers feel easy and care more about others than yourself. When you have different opinions, discuss with the other people rather than argue with them. Dont trust those who turn away from their friends when their friends are in trouble, because a friend in need is a friend indeed. I hope that everything goes on well with you and that youll make a lot of good friends. Yours truly Jack
