26、Our eating habits are very important for good health. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. But if we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(胃口). It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time every day. When we feel hungry, it is said that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.
A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) used to decide whether a person was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the person could swallow(吞咽) the bread, it was a sign that he was telling the truth. Though this seems rather strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man worrying about something has much difficulty in swallowing anything dry because he is worrying and he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
【1】It will be a good habit to eat ice-cream ______.
A.before the meal
B.after the meal
C.during the meal
D.at the regular time each day
【2】It is necessary and important for us to form the habit of having our meals ______.
A.at the regular time each day
B.at any time every day
C.when we finish our work and study
D.whenever the meal is ready
【3】According to the judges in old England, if a person was not telling a lie(撒谎), he could ______.
A.drink a great deal of water
B.hardly eat dry bread
C.swallow dry bread easily and quickly
D.eat nothing
【4】Usually a person who gets angry has ______.
A.a big appetite
B.a strong desire(渴望) to drink water
C.to drink some cold water
D.a poor appetite
27、 Would you give your Social Security (安全) Number to the worker at the supermarket? Of course not, right? Yet, if you're like most people, you wouldn't hesitate to give out a different, but equally important number to the same person.
Experts now say that your cellphone number may be more pivotal than any other personal information in the eyes of spammers(垃圾邮件发送者) and identity thieves. In other words, you should guard that cellphone number with your life.
Today, your cellphone number will likely be with you for a very long time. That means if spammers get your cellphone number, it will be much harder to get rid of them. It also means that over the years, your cellphone number will be linked to a lot of personal information from contact lists to bank card numbers, all information that hackers would love to get their hands on.
A few years ago, German security researcher Karsten Nohl showed what he could get using only a person's cellphone number. Califomia Congressman(国会议员) Ted Lieu was given a new cellphone for a day and Nohl was given that cellphone number. Using just that number, Nohl was able to find Lieu's location and movements throughout Los Angeles, read his emails and text messages, and record phone calls between Lieu and his team. And Nohl did all of this from his office in Berlin using just a cellphone number.
Still think it's a good idea to post your number on the Internet?
When you sign up for an account(账户)online, you usually provide your email address and a password. But if you forget that password, many of these companies will send you a password retrieval code(检索码)to your cellphone. Let's say you post something for sale online and you include your name, email, and cellphone number. You've now given a potential(潜在的))thief everything he needs to hack into any of your online accounts. Therefore, it just makes sense to protect yourself by guarding that number as closely as you would guard any other personal information.
【1】What does the underlined word "pivotal" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.Accessible B.Familiar
C.Important D.Manageable.
【2】What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Why people should protect their cellphone numbers.
B.Why people seldom change their numbers.
C.How to protect our personal information.
D.How to get rid of spammers.
【3】What did Karsten Nohl's show intend to prove?
A.Nohl is a real expert in hacking.
B.It's necessary to fight against hackers.
C.Lieu's new cellphone has powerful functions.
D.It's easy to hack information through cellphone numbers.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.It's a good idea to sell something online.
B.It's necessary to register several accounts online.
C.It's common for people to forget their passwords.
D.It's risky to post your cellphone number online.
28、 It’s a name that needs no address. Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.
So letters sent to Santa Claus find their way to the small town of the North Pole deep in Alaska, including those simply sent to Santa. Last year, 120,000 letters arrived from 26 countries, not including the thousands with no return addresses.
Those who have return addresses usually get a reply and a North Pole postmark (邮戳) that has delighted children all over the world for many years. They feel happy to receive Santa’s reply.
Letters arrive all the year around in the town of 1,600, where streets have names such as Santa Claus Lane and Kris Kringle Drive. Around Thanksgiving, they start getting there by the thousands each day as Christmas comes. Even letters without stamps get through, an exception for the U. S. Postal Service.
“This is special because it has Santa’s name on it,” said Debra Cornelius, an officer at the main post office in nearby Fairbanks, where the letters are kept during the holiday.
Gabby Gaborik is among several dozen volunteers who are busy sending off replies to children who sent return addresses.
In his 10 years as a volunteer, Gaborik has seen every kind of wish. There are children who want the latest toys they see on TV. There are children who ask for miracles, some wanting their mother back for Christmas or their father back from Iraq, even though he died there.
Replies get a North Pole postmark, including a drawing of Santa’s face. Even late letters get a reply, Gaborik said, “It says something like ‘Thanks for writing. Santa’s been really busy,’ anything the children might want to hear,” he said.
【1】Letters written to Santa Claus without an address can arrive at the North Pole because ____ .
A.all letters without an address are sent there

29、A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity(亲密) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best urn(瓮)of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift(筛) out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed(加以防腐处理) in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens.
