"Wanna buy a body? "That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed photographers when I was a photo editor at U．S．News．Like many in the mainstream press, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into "them" ,who trade in pictures of bodies or run after famous people like Princess Diana, and "us" ,the serious newspeople．But after 16 years in that role, I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable．

Working in the reputable world of journalism, I told photographers to cover other people's difficult life situations．I justified marching into moments of sadness, under the appearance of the reader's right to know．I worked with professionals talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines．And I wasn't alone．

In any American town, after a car crash or some other horrible incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries．But you are likely to see local newspaper and television photographers on the scene –and fast ．．．

How can we justify doing this? Journalists are taught to separate, doing the job from worrying about the consequences of publishing what they record．Repeatedly, they are reminded of a news-business saying: Leave your conscience in the office, A victim may lie bleeding, unconscious, or dead．Your job is to record the image （图象）．You're a photographer, not an emergency medical worker．You put away your feelings and document the scene．

But catastrophic events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors．In the first minutes and hours after a disaster occurs, photo agencies buy pictures．They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and death is usually the subject．Often, an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines．The most sought-after special pictures command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests．

I worked on all those stories and many like them．When they happen, you move quickly: buying, dealing, trying to beat the agencies to the pictures．

Now, many people believe journalists are the hypocrites （伪君子） who need to be brought down, and it's our pictures that most anger others．Readers may not believe, as we do, that there is a distinction between clear-minded "us" and mean-spirited "them"．In too many cases, by our choices of images as well as how we get them, we prove our readers right．

67．When journalists are working, they are told to ____．

　　　 A．work with their conscience

　　　 B．respect the privacy of the victim

　　　 C．separate their work from feelings

　　　 D．ask police for permission to take photos

68．The 5th and 6th paragraphs mainly tell us that ____．

　　　 A．speed determines the success of a news story

　　　 C．are more devoted to work than non-professionals

　　　 D．have a higher moral standard than self-employed photographers

I prefer the stories about the swimmers at the Beijing Olympics，one of which is about Zakia Nassar. She's a 21-year-old Palestinian __21__ Bethlehem studying dentistry in Jenin. Having had neither a __22__ nor a chance to an Olympic-sized pool in the past year, she had no choice but to __23__ on her own at a 12m public pool.

There is a 50-meter __24__ in nearby Nazareth, but the Israeli government did not __25__ her to use it.

Nassar was __26__ to training only when she returned to her parents' home in Bethlehem, __27__ she did so only about every two months for two days or so. __28__ the pool is only 12 meters long.

“My parents and friends always __29__ me, reminding me that I had to keep training if I __30  wanted to go to the Olympics,” she said.

It was only when Nassar __31__ China a month ago that she finally got the opportunity to swim in a 50m pool and enjoyed the __32__ of having a coach.

When she at last took part in the Games, she swam the 50m in 31.97 seconds, a(n) __33__ of seven seconds on her personal __34__. Nassar said it was the most beautiful moment of her life.

She will not __35__ on the cover of Time magazine or __36__ millions of dollars in endorsements（捐款）, but she can always say she won a race at the Olympics. For her, it wasn’t about __37__ the other swimmers or winning a prize, but about __38__ her own goal, __39__ difficult. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of her. Then I realize how __40__ the task before me really is.

The average kid has a busy day. There’s school, taking care of your pets, running around with friends, going to sports for practice or other activities , and doing your homework. It’s tiring just writing them all down. By the end of the day, your body needs a break. Sleep allows your body to rest for the next day.

Everything that’s alive needs sleep to survive. Even your dog or cat curls up for naps. Animals sleep for the same reason as you do to give the body a tiny vacation.

Not only is sleep necessary for your body, it’s important for your brain, too. Though no one is exactly sure what work the brain does when you’re asleep, some scientists think that the brain sorts through and stores information, replaces chemicals, and solves problems while you snooze.

Most kids between 5 and12 get about 9.5 hours a night, but experts agree that most need 10 or 11 hours each night. Sleep is an individual thing and some kids need more than others.

When your body doesn’t have enough hours to rest, you may feel tired or cranky; or you may be unable to think clearly. You might have a hard time following directions, or you might have an argument with a friend over something really stupid . A school assignment that’s normally easy may feel impossible, or your may feel clumsy playing your favorite sport or instrument.

One more reason to get enough sleep: If you don’t you may not grow as well. That’s right, researchers believe too little sleep affect growth and you immune system-which keeps you from getting sick.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are getting more and more stressed and we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But learning to live with a certain amount of stress is of great significance while relaxation is completely necessary for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand（经受住）depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a choice between “fight ” and “flight” and in more primitive days, the choice made the difference between life and death. The crises（危机）we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have formed links with stress.

Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it to keep our mind and body healthy.

83．What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage?

       A．Relaxation is necessary for our health.

       B．We should get rid of stress in a proper way.

       C．Long lasting stress usually leads to serious diseases.

       D．We should learn to live with a certain amount of stress.

84．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means that          .

       A．even a little stress causes us to make a choice between life and death

       B．we react both chemically and physically though we are under slight pressure

       C．we must answer whether we should remove the stress no matter how small it is

       D．the stress is not big but it can lead to serious heart disease or high blood pressure

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly shows it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute(替代品)impolitely; he does so with skill: "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned. Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary(相反的) to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro(来回地), often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands
