ship from france. on the ship were 49 french railroad boxcars(火车车厢) filled with gifts from the people of france to the people of america. these boxcars were from the famous merci train (merci:a french word meaning “thank you”). after world war ii, a lot of factories, roads and farms in france had been destroyed(破坏). many french people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. in the winter of 1947, a train was sent across the united states, stopping in cities and towns along the way. at every stop, people gave whatever they could. factories gave clothing and medicine. farmers gave food. families gave money. even school children gave away their pocket money. all the things were then taken to france by ship. by 1949, the french had begun to recover(恢复) from the war. the merci train was their way of saying “thank you” to america. french people had filled the boxcars with gifts. most of them were personal, like hand-made toys, childrens drawings, or postcards. but the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts. on each car, the french people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces with an american eagle on the front. the boxcars were taken to each state of america, where they were warmly greeted. now many of the states still keep their boxcars. gifts sent by the french people can still be seen in some museums. the merci train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace. 61. many people crowded at new york harbor on february 3rd, 1949 to .a. welcome the merci train b. meet their families c. have a big party d. start a trip by ship62. in 1947，a train stopped in cities across america in order to . a. give away clothing and food b. get more soldiers for the warc.

countriesc. the boxcars would be more beautiful d. they were very good at painting pictures65. the passage is mainly about . a. the story of the merci train b. american museums where the boxcars are kept c. gifts that american people liked d. world war ii cthe weather is getting hotter. you are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. a cold drink may be just the thing. but be careful what you are drinking. something that looks cool may not be good for your health. there are plenty of energy drinks on the market. most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. the lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. sounds great! but after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. these drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. but be careful not to drink too much.caffeine makes your heart beat fast. because of this, the international olympic committee has limited( 限制) its use. caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. just one box of energy drink can make you nervous(紧张的), have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.66. many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following except that _. a. they have beautiful colors and cool names
