    The fighting against youth smoking since I took office I’ve done everything in my power to protect our children from harm. We’ve worked to make their streets and their schools safer, and to give them something positive to do after school before their parents get home. We’ve worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous, illegal and wrong.
    Today, I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation’s children form an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90 percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. Consider this: 3,000 children start to smoke every day illegally, and 1,000 of them will die sooner because of it. This is a national tragedy（悲剧）that every American should be honor-bound to help prevent. For more than five years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, launching（发动）a nationwide campaign（运动）to educate them about the dangers of smoking, to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to severely restrict（限制）tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years. That means if we act now, we have it in our power to stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a million lives as a result.

    D
    Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men or women? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
    Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc.
    Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional ( 专业的) trainers however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.
    67. This article is probably taken from ________.
    A. a letter                      B. an advertisement  
    C. a personal diary               D. a newspaper article
    68. According to the passage parents whose children show a special interest in a sport _______.
    A. feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sportsmen or women
    B. try to get financial support from the government for their children’s training
    C. have to get medical advice from doctors about training methods
    D. prefer their children to be trained as young as possible
    69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. When young, sports men or women won’t have much time for their schoolwork
    B. Early training may damage their muscles.
    C. Most children may become professional sports men or women after a long period of training.
    D. It’s very expensive for parents to support their child’s development in sports.
    70. _______ can become the best players after many years of training.
    A. Most people                                     B. Some people 
    C. Only a few people                                  D. No people

    Fire can help people in many ways. But it can be very dangerous. Fire can heat water, warm houses, give light and cook. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fire can burn forests.
    Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope (绳子) and brought fire down.
    Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put fires. Fires need oxygen (氧气). Without oxygen they will die. Cover a fire with water, sand or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.

    Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mother, you must come to see the daffodils(黄水仙)before they are over”. I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. “I will come next Tuesday,” I promised, a little reluctantly, on her third call.
    Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn’s house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, “ Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in the clouds and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!”
    My daughter smiled calmly and said, “We drive in this all the time, Mother. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”
    After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read, “Daffodil Garden.”
    We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most glorious sight. There were five acres of flowers. “But who has done this?” I asked Carolyn. “It’s just one woman,” Carolyn answered. “That’s her home.” Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A- frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio(露台), we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline.
    The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs(球茎),” it read. The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman.” The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”
    I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than forty years before, had begun—one bulb at a time—to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.
    1. The author didn’t go to see the daffodils at first because__________.
    A. she was not interested in them     B. they were growing on a mountain top
    C. the weather was not good enough  D. it was a long drive to her daughter’s house
    2. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling seeing the daffodils?
    A. Amazed.      B. Disappointed.   C. Confused.      D. Moved.
    3. What do we know about the woman living in the A-frame house?
    A. She must be out of mind.        
    B. She acted as a gardener here.
    C. It took her great determination to grow the daffodils.
    D. She was poor and made her living by selling daffodils.
    4. What would be the best title of the passage?
    A. A Wonderful Daffodil Garden       B. A Remarkable Woman
    C. One Bulb at a Time                 D. I Love Daffodils

    We still don’t understand the influence of the mind’s power over the body, nor do we understand why there should be such power. All we can say for certain is that the mind does have power over the body in very many different ways.
    If a man is told that he is at the North Pole and he believes what he is told, he’ll show physical signs which suggest that his body is reacting as though he were at the North Pole. He’ll go pale and shiver. When the film Lawrence of Arabia was shown, cinema managers around the world reported that the sales of ice cream rocketed. The endless desert scenes had made the moviegoers feel uncomfortably hot.
    Hypnotists use the power of the mind over the body in order to use their influence. The hypnotist must only convince the patient that something is true, and the patient will act accordingly. If he convinces the patient that his arms are as heavy as lead, then the patient will be unable to lift his arms. If he convinces the patient that a piece of ice is a hot iron and he then touches the patient’s skin with the ice, a blister（水泡）will develop. The body will react to the suggestion and not to the reality, and signs of a real burn will appear.
    1 From the passage, we can imagine that people watching a film about the North Pole would probably want __________.
    A. an ice cream             B. a cold shower    C. a hot drink        D. a hot iron
    2. A hypnotist is supposed to be able to control __________.
    A. patients’ bodies            B. people’s minds
    C. patients’ diseases              D. people’s movements
    3. The phrase “the reality” refers to __________.
    A. a real burn B. a hot iron  C. the touch of ice   D. the body’s reaction
    4. A good title for this passage would be __________.
    A. Mind and Body            B. Physical Signs
    C. Research on Mind            D. The Power of the Mind
