16、l the same.Im so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast，but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all，it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board，we noticed two big humps(脊背)in the di

17、stance.On approaching them，we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldnt believe itthere arent any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay，in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whaleactually

18、 as big as our boatwas obviously stuck and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly，making big tohirlpools(漩涡) and waves.“Shes trying to help her baby，but on the wrong side， my father said.At this point，my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and，headin

19、g the boat towards the baby whale，pushed it gently.With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried u

20、p to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Slowly，they let us lead them，Sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breatheand to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea，the mum gave us a wave

21、 with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes，but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day.Nearly four decades later，I still look back fondly to that golden day

25、ar，but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries，the parentteen war is about boundaries：Where is the line between what I control and what you do？Both sides want peace，but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part，this is because neith

26、er is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents point of view，the only cause of their fight is their adolescents complete teunreasonableness.And of course， the teens see it in exactly the same way，except oppositely.Both feel trapped.In this article，Ill describe three nowin

27、 situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first nowin situation is quarrels over unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teens hair，the cleanliness of the bedroom，the preferred style of clothing，the childs failure to eat a g

34、uld once only wear oldfashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg，a social policy expert，said，“Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s.In the 1960s buying a coat fo

35、r a woman was a serious matter.It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four yearsnow you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to.Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure(支出) data and

36、 found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the sameat 5 or 6 per cent of spendingthe amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said，“Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of produ

37、ction in the Far East.In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from，but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere.Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.Fashion designer Angel

38、a Barnard，who runs her own fashion business in London，said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流) style than in previous years.She said，“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them.Older women ar

39、e much more aware of celebrities.Theres also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties.When I started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are wha

40、t I would call ordinary women.My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.59.Professor Twigg found that，compare with the 1960s， .A.the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%B.the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C.people sp

43、 before62.Which is the best possible title of the passage？A.Age Is No Barrier for Fashion FansB.The More Fashionable，the Less ExpensiveC.Unexpected Changes in FashionD.Boom of the British Fashion IndustryDThis brief book is aimed at high school students，but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of

44、life.Its formal，serious style closely matches its content，a schoolmasterly book on schooling.The author，W.H.Armstrong，starts with the basics：reading and writing，In his opinion，reading doesnt just mean recognizing each word on the page；it means taking in the information，digesting it and incorporating

45、 it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself.The goal is to bring the information back to life，not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees.Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other；in fact，the aim of reading is to express the

46、 information you have got from the text.Ive seen it again and again；someone who cant express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasnt read it at all.Only a third of the book remains after that discussion，which Armstorng devoted to specific tips for studying languages，

47、math，science and history.He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地) and equally，except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history.Well，he was a history teacherif conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students，that was a hundred ti

48、mes more than my history teachers ever got across.To my disappointment，in this part of the book he ignores the arts.As a matter of fact，they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do，though the study differs slightly in kind.Although its commonly believed that the arts can only

49、 be naturally acquired，actually，learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.My other comment is that the text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960snone of the references(参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s.As a result，the discussion misses the entire comp

50、uter age.These are small points，though，and dont affect the main discussion.I recommend it to any student and any teacher，including the selftaught student.63.According to Armstrong，the goal of reading is to .A.gain knowledge and expand ones viewB.understand the meaning between the linesC.express idea

51、s based on what one has readD.get information and keep it alive in memory64.The author of the passage insists that learning the arts .A.requires great effortsB.demands real passionC.is less natural than learning maths.D.is as natural as learning a language65.What is a shortcoming of Armstrongs work

52、according to the author？A.Some ideas are slightly contradictory.B.These is too much discussion on studying science.C.The style is too serious.D.It lacks new information.66.This passage can be classified as .A.an advertisement B.a book reviewC.a feature story D.a news reportEHave you winterized your

53、horse yet？ Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild，many animals are still hibernating(冬眠).Its too bad that humans cant hibernate.In fact，as a species，we almost did.Apparently，at times in the past，peasants in France liked a semistate of human hibernation.So writes Graham Robb，a

54、 British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants.As soon as the weather turned cold，people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.In line with this，Jeff Warren，a producer at CBC Radios The Current，tell

55、s us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的) lighting and the electric bulb.When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages，they noticed something referred to as “first sleep，which was not clarified，though.Now scientists are telling us our ances

56、tors most likely slept in separate periods.The business of eight hours uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.In the past，without the artificial light of the city to bathe in，humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight.The late night period was known as “The

57、Watch.It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals，although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours.According to some sleep rescarchers，a short period of insomnia(失眠) at midnight is not a disorder.It is normal.Humans can experience another state of consciousn

58、ess around their sleeping，which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning.This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people.The impressive inventor，Thomas Edison，used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.Playing with your sleep rhythm

59、s can be adventurous，as anxiety may set in.Medical science doesnt help much in this case.It offers us medicines for a full nights continuous sleep，which sounds natural；however，according to Warrens theory，it is really the opposite of what we need.67.The example of the French peasants shows the fact that .A.people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weatherB.there were signs of hibernati
