1.Coffee is one of the most popular drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average. Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine. (66) Caffeine is a chemical substance that stimulates the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake, —at least for a short time—because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system. A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.
  One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850.
  Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.
  Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans.
  Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story. The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa.
  Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy or stimulation. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.

Caffeine is a kind of drug that can______.

A．strengthen one"s heart
B．make one"s bones strong
C．make one more active or alert
D．ease the pain on the body

2.

A．clear-headed
B．strong
C．nervous
D．intelligent

Kaldi was a______.

A．doctor
B．shepherd
C．druggist
D．chemist

4.
How did the goats react after eating the plants?

A．They refused to leave.
B．They could not find their way home.
C．They started jumping up and down.
D．They stopped repeatedly to eat them.

5.
Why did the green bean get the name " Kaffa" ?

A．Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.
B．Because Kaldi"s goats loved the green beans very much.
C．Because the beans were discovered in a place so named.
D．Because the beans could be picked and dried.

7.In the United States, about 750, 000 persons have suffered AIDS. More than one half of them have died.
  But doctors say evidence also shows there is no reason for persons to become terrified by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities.
  A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal of Medicine. The doctors studied one-hundred-one family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels and toilets.
  Doctors said only one family member—a five-year-old girl—got the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girl"s mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease.
  The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools and other public places. (67) Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS patients and to force them to live separately from other persons.
  American health officials recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental work, or other times when the patient may bleed.
   (68)In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual people, people taking drugs, people who used infected needles, and persons who received infected blood. More recent studies show the AIDS virus also can be spread during heterosexual(異性的)relations. It can spread either from the man to the woman, or from the woman to the man.

A．it is not deadly
B．few people are infected with AIDS
C．the AIDS virus is not spread in everyday social activities
D．the AIDS virus is not spread during sex

B．women are more likely to get the AIDS virus than men

13.Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.
   (69) One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem is the basis of a good mental health. A youngster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and become so afraid of failing, that he ( or she ) won"t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong, this is the way children learn. But the criticisms should be balanced with praises.
  Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it"s like being in a car without brakes. The parent who says "No" when other parents say "Yes" sends a double message. He is also saying: "I love you, and I am ready to risk your anger, because I don"t want you to get into trouble. "
  Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.
  Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels that she must read her daughter"s diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.
  Parents own their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. ( 70) This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others: it means respecting elders, teachers and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.
  No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give rim his due, he" 11 have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.

According to the passage, parents owe their children the following things Except______.

A．privacy
B．cars
C．respect of self
D．information about their body

14.

B．there is no one to ask for help when in trouble
C．there is no one to guide and discipline them
D．they are afraid of being left alone

A．saying "Yes" to everything the children ask for
B．refusing something to their children

A．It is better to compare a youngster to his brighter brothers because it makes him try harder.
B．Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own lives at an early age.
C．Children shouldn"t be corrected because it destroys their self-esteem.
D．Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.

19.What is the best way to break up a boring moment and tension in the office? How does one develop one"s sense of humor?
  As people are fed up with lots of things in the workplace, it"s healthy to create those humorous feelings. In fact, many companies now have humor rooms. In a dull moment, you may tell a funny story about something that you did. In general, real events are funnier than invented jokes. You may also show your boss or coworkers some business articles about humor—The Wall Street Journal and other publications have several such stories. Anything that makes you laugh—in print or on tape. But don"t just be a consumer of humor—be a producer, too.
  Start with humor and some funny stories that happened to you. The most important thing at work is to find someone who appreciates your humor. When you can laugh, somehow things don"t feel so hopeless. The best humor accepts the unexpected side of things. Creativity is also strongly linked to humor. One of the exercises is to list 25 improvements for the standard. It"s amazing how quickly people start to laugh as they think creatively and go for the unexpected. For example, "How about glass walls with huge fish behind them? "
  Management studies show that people with a good sense of humor are more likely to have raises and go further in companies than humorless people. Actually, humor is especially useful as a social lubricant (潤(rùn)滑劑) —in criticisms, complaints, etc. Humor reduces the threat and tension in any situation. Please put more humors in your work.
