【正文】 r give up on your dream. Why do we give in and give up when we meet difficulties? Is it because we have no confidence in our cause and no mitment for what we pursue? It was said that Albert Einstein?s last request on his death bed was to be given his equations and his unfinished statement declining the presidency of Israel. Einstein first picked up his equations and lamented to his son, “If only I had more mathematics!” What a great persistent spirit! One stronghearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy. She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to an assassin?s bullet—Boddy Kennedy: “And we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards to the past, but we shall carry on with courage.” Not the end of the world. Do you know something else? I?ve learned that care as you might, love as you might, some people just don?t care back. And it?s not the end of the world. After all, it?s not the event that makes a person, is it? It?s what we do about that happens to us. 51. The appropriate title for the passage might be ______. A. How to Face .

It is the world?s 900pound gorilla: basically amiable and wellmeaning, crushing through the underbrush, dominating the landscape, altering the scenery, impossible either to shoo away or ignore. Its fads, fashions, folkways and fast food sweep around the globe。 they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be an additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are paratively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on healthy eating. 59. Recently, some people are interested in natural foods because ______. A. natural foods are fresh and cheap B. they don?t like processed foods C. they want to change their eating habits D. these foods contain more vitamins, minerals and fiber etc. 中國最龐大的下載資料庫 (整理 . 版權歸原作者所有 ) 第 11 頁 共 15 頁 60.

Questions 63 to 65 are based on the following passage: Many stray dogs and cats wander the streets of cities. Usually they end up in animal shelters, where staffs must find ways to dispose of them. One legitimate disposal route has been the research laboratory. But in California, animal rights groups recently have been leaning hard on animal shelters, effectively cutting off much of the supply. About 30 years ago, Los Angeles voters soundly defeated a proposal to prohibit the release of animals for laboratory use. But today, with new proposals being submitted to city councils and county boards, the results could well be different. And the new proposals are much more sweeping. They would create review boards for all animal experimentation. A group of California investigators even have anized a mittee for animal research in medicine. “Most scientists don?t realize the danger,” says Caltech neurobiologist John M. Allman, who uses monkeys to study the anization of the brain. “Su
