42、especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian (营养学家) Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help. “Go for nutrient-dense (营养丰富的) foods,” she suggests. “Foods that contain a multipl
43、e of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffeecake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just cant compare the value of these foods, the nutrien
44、t-dense ones are so excellent,” she emphasizes. Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life its the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets, which are based on one or two foods, are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength; they can be very harmful, she says, because nut
45、rients arent supplied in sufficient amounts or balance. Morrissey also believes that trying to find a diet that will cure your illness, or make yourself a superwoman is a fruitless search, so you will not achieve your aim. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we be
46、lieve that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food. “We need carbohydrates, protein and fat they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions (比例). And if the f
47、uel isnt there, the spark is useless.”69. From the first paragraph we know that working women _. A. think cooking is especially complicated B. do not share the same views with registered dietitians C. are busy and not interested in cooking D. are likely to eat healthfully70. Orange juice is differen
48、t from orange drink because _. A. it contains only a small percentage of real juice B. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real juice C. it is largely orange-colored sugar water D. it contains nothing but calories71. In Paragraph 4 “a fruitless search” means _. A. an effort with no results B
49、. a search for a diet without fruits C. a research on fruitless diets D. a diet serving as medicine72. By saying “if the fuel isnt there, the spark is useless”, the author means _. A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value
50、 C. carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use D. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no useDOne of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the rocknroll music popular around the world. He sold mi
51、llions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the1960s. Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church, where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs tha
52、t he used to sing in church as a child. When he was a teenager, Elvis moved from Tulepo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”.In 1955 he recorded so
53、me songs for his mothers birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. There was something different about it. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South, music known as “blues”.S
54、hortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manager and arranged concerts for him across the United States and new recordings as well. Soon Elvis rose to fame all over the country. Later, Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films like Love me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis f
55、ound it hard to live with success, like many other stars. He began to take drugs and his health began to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, his many millions of fans were shocked. “The King Is Dead!” the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and he will always b

However
60、, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats (栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim (声称) to educate people and save endangered species (物种), but visitors leave zoos without
61、having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range (分布区). The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care o
62、f the animals natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in s
63、mall spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive b
64、reeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of payin
65、g customers. Havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.77. How wou
