china , there is another type of mail appearing as a new business : “ future mail ” . “ future mail ” service can make people slow down and let them understand the meaning of “ time ” in another way . and “ future mail ” letters are “ reminders of affection , friendship and love ”.lin xiaofan , a senior high school student in hefei , wrote a letter to her mother in advance to express her love to

inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.some doctors now think that the internal( 内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“being thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said dr jimmy bell at imperial college. since 1994, bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with mri（核磁共振） machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.according to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits （沉积）of internal fat, even if they are slim.even people with normal body mass index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal bmi scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.according to bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. they eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. they want to prove that internal fat damages the bodys communication systems.the good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “if you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” bell said.66. what is this piece of news mainly about?a. thin people may be fat inside. b. internal fat is of no importance.c. internal fat leads to many diseases. d. thin people also have troubles.67.doctors have found _.a. the exact dangers of internal fatb. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesc. being slim is not dangerous at alld. being slim doesnt mean you are not fat inside68.according to the passage, which of the following is wrong?a. exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.b. people can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.c. men are more likely to have too much internal fat.d. people with heart disease all have internal fat.69.from the last paragraph, we can find that _.a. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedb. exercise plays an important role in peoples life for keeping healthyc. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimd. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat70.the underlined part in the last paragraph means _.a. a long road b. an easy way c. a clear differenced. a short distanced a british farmer has been searching for a group of fighter planes for 15 years. the planes were lost in burma during world war ii. david cundall, 62, traveled to burma a dozen times. he spent about us $207,000 in the hope of finding a british spitfire（喷火式战斗机）buried in the southeast asian country. finally, his hard work paid off.cundall started his search after his friend heard from a group of u.s. war veterans（老兵）that they had buried spitfires in the region. “weve done some pretty silly things in our time, but the silliest was burying spitfires,” the veterans said.cundall began placing ads in magazines to try to find soldiers who might have been involved. after 15 years of searching, he finally managed to locate the missing airplanes. the planes had never been flown and were buried in their transport crates（条板箱）. “we made a borehole（钻孔）and used a camera to look at the crates. they seemed to be in good condition.” cundall told the telegraph. the aircraft had arrived at a royal air force base in burma in august 1945. but, by that point in the war, the planes werent needed. “in 1945, spitfires were ten a penny, and you could see them everywhere.” said cundall.british prime minister, david camerion, recently visited the country. as the telegraph reports, camerions help may mean that the spitfires could soon be on their way back to the united kingdom. cundall hopes that with the help of investors, the planes can finally take to the skies.“spitfires are beautiful aeroplanes and should not be rotting away（腐烂）in a foreign land,” cundall says. “they saved our neck in the battle of britain and they should be protected.”71. which of the following is the best title for the text? a. a british farmers dream b. burmas buried treasurec. a search for buried planes d. the design of the british spitfire72. what did the war veterans feel when they talked about the buried planes? a. disappointedb. excited.c. regretfuld. hopeful73. what does the underlined phrase, “ten a penny ”, in the third paragraph mean? a. expensive.b. cheap.c. rared. common74. what can we learn about the british spitfires? a. the planes buried under the ground were seriously damaged.b. the planes were not needed at that time during world war ii.c. it will be very difficult to take the planes back to the united kingdom.d. the planes were buried in burma after they crashed there.75. what can we infer from th
