27、th the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it lately, and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only planting new kinds of crops, but some 55 ways of making money, the most unusual of which has g

28、ot to be sheep racing. Yes, you heard me 56 ! A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100,000 people have57 to watch the race,“I was passing the farm on my w ay to the sea for aholiday,”one punter(跑马掮客人)told me,“and I thought Id have a look. I didnt believe i

29、t was serious, to tell you the truth.”According to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses.“At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse 58 , and there are clear favourites. 59 nobody has heard anything about these 60 ! Most people f

30、ind it difficult to tell one from another in any case.”I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite 61 . In a usual sheep race, half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the 62 just to give them some enco

31、uragement, I ought to add! The sheep run surprisingly fast, 63 they have probably not eaten for a while. Anyway, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races, 64 by their happy faces and the sense of excitement./doc/b2494c18a76e58fafab003b2.htmlmon B.stra

Even the si

34、mplest business such as buying a train ticket requires 65 seven or eight of these. Another 66 of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be forgiven forthinking that queuing rather than football was the 67 national sport.Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. B

35、ut does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbours? I think not.Take forms of address(称号) for example. The average English person- 68 he happens to work in a hotel or department store-would rather die than call a stranger“Sir”or“Madam”. Yet i

36、n some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our 69 “you” for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express 70 .I am all for returning to the use of “thee” and “thou”(Thee and thou areold-fashioned poetic words for

37、“you”)：“you” would be 71 for strangers and professional relationships.And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed how the British 72 ever touch? Personally. I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. Try ki

38、ssing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror, or, if their escape is 73 , you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now what could be 74 than them?5.A.at least B.at most C.less than D.not more than6.A.signal B.scene C.sign D.sight7.A.true B

44、or two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.One day, while talk

46、st the kind of person we need here. Youre being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. Im sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy shealmost danced out of the building.That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten min

47、utes late from her lunch hour and she said, “Oh, so you fina lly decided to come back to work today?”This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr.Petri was right, she was being wasted in this job.“Look,”she said angrily,“if you dont like the way I work, I dont need to stay

48、 here. Ill go where Im appreciated! Good-bye!”She took up her things and stormed out of the office.That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria, “What do you think?”“Well,”said Maria carefully,“are you sure about the other job?”“Well, not exactly, but”Maria continu

D

53、r.Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetable s and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volu

54、me of food, their calorie intake(卡路里摄取量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,”saysChwang.Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, culture-namely Asians hospitality(好客)-is a reason for the fatness of todays generation, according to Chwang.“Asian people

55、 love food,”shesays,“Eating and drinking are important social and family funcations.”I n the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In todays climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for a sig

56、nificant occasions.More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents improved circumstances.“In the past, people had four or more children-now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them,”saysChwang.“The easiest way is to give them quality food. Parents think feeding th

57、em well is showing their love.They feel bad when their children look thin.”When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children. Chwang says: “There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they dont move, and eventually, they dont want to move because theyre fat.”Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to
