12、r on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Nearly a quarter-century after a German boy tossed a message in a bottle off a ship in the Baltic Sea, hes received an answer. A 13-year-old Russian, Daniil Korotkikh, was walking with his parents on a beach when he saw something

13、 glittering lying in the sand. “I saw that bottle and it looked interesting,” Korotkikh told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It looked like a German beer bottle with a ceramic plug, and there was a message inside.” His father, who knows a little German, translated the letter. It said: “My name is

14、Frank, and Im five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you.” The letter, dated 1987, included an address in the town of Coesfeld. The boy in the letter, Frank Uesbeck, is now 29. His parents still live

15、 at the letters address. “At first I didnt believe it,” Uesbeck told the AP about getting the response from Korotkikh. In fact, he barely remembered the trip at all; his father actually wrote the letter. The Russian boy said he does not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea: “It

16、 would not have survived in the water all that time,” he said. He believed it had been hidden under the sand where he found it. In the web chat earlier this month, Uesbeck gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and promised to write back when he received his letter. “Hell definitely get another

17、letter from me,” the 29-year-old said. Uesbeck was especially thrilled that he was able to have a positive impact on a life of a young person far away from Germany. 16.

20、ise B. tragedy C. glory D. honor Passage 2 Today, many people are starving to death. There is a shortage of food and the available is too expensive for hungry people to buy. Therefore, they go without food, or each day have one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good healt

21、h. Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did. During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger w

22、ent away. In the evening, when he ate his one meal, he ate quickly and consumed a large amount. During the next few days, although he was not hungry during the day, he quickly noticed every food stall, and the smell of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains

23、 and lacked physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite. Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work. This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him strength.

24、 He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most important, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people o

When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often, he said, “I was single, it was quick, and Im not a very good cook.” Barbers lawyer, Samuel Hirsch, says

40、that the suit has two different purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning labels similar to labels on cigarettes. Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are

41、 similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin. Two others may soon join Barbers suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retired nurse.
