4.At the 1893 Columbian Exposition, a World Fair held in Chicago, chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed. It caught the eye of M.S. Hershey, who saw the potential for chocolate. He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster, and produced his first chocolate bars in 1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's. But it was World War Ⅰ that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases. The blocks were cut into smaller pieces and distributed to American soldiers in Europe. Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers.By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home, the American candy bar business was assured. Why? Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same. As a result, from that time on and through the 1920's, candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States, and as many as 40,000 different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar, corn syrup, andmilk were easily available. Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.Why did M.S. Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?

9.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of ProfessorFaulkner,who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we areageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losingtheir ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could beslowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front andside sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the humancharacter.Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty?and seventy?year?olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using thehead.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in thetowns.Those least at risk, says Faulkner,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors.White?collar workers doing routine work are,however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farmworker, bus driver and shop assistant.Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulateproperly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need.“The best way to maintaingood blood circulation is through using the brain,”he says.“Think hard and engage inconversation.Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”According to the passage,which group of people seem to age slower than the others?

12.As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead．At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road. 　　Mr．Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads．It had a "Slow" sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely. 　　At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped．A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, "You didn't stop at the crossing." 　　"But the sign there doesn't say 'Stop'," answered Mr Williams．"It just says ‘Slow’, and 1 did go slow." 　　The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face．Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll be blowed!

In china, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 61 women, and even more 62 if the inquirer is a man. However, it is 63 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 64 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69

how old they are. 70 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 71.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 72 that they look very old! 73 westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 74 that they are not interested to know how old other people

are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 78 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 79 , but this is not always the 80 . 77.

16.“I love you Bob.” “I love you too, Nancy.” it was 2 a.m., and I was hearing my parents’ voices throughthe thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching—andsurprising. My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a brief dating. She was nearly 30 andknew it was time to start a family. The handsome well-educated man who came by the office whereshe worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romancedidn’t last long. Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated thethought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at thebridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived shortcomings of their respectivein-laws. There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the angry winds did calmsomewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought we’d …”my mother would begin, before launching into a precise listing of my father’s faults. The complaintswere recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. as he listened, my father would say angrythreats and curses in a low voice. It wasn’t the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary(纪念日)approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after all;why not try to make the best of things? We’d provide the cakes, the balloons, the toasts, and they’dfollow one rule: no fighting. The agreement was honored. We had a wonderful day. When wethought back, we found it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began tochange for my parents.The purpose for the writer to hold the party is____.

根据以下资料，回答46-60题。

Number sense is not the ability to count．It is the ability to recognize a46in number．Human beings are born with this ability．47, Experiments show that many animas are, too．For example, many birds have good number sense．If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not48．However, if you remove two, the bird49leaves．This means that the bird knows the50between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s51number sense．A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming．The bird did not52until the man left the tower．The man had an53．He took another man with him to the tower．One man left and the other stayed, but they did not54the bird．The crow stayed away until the second man left, too．The experiment was55with three men and then with four men．But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were56．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were57able to fool the crow.

How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good．For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a58group．But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are59fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human60is not much better than a crow’s.55A.reported,B.repeated,C.designed,D.approved
