When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines,Iowa,he told me about the only time he had been there.It was in the 1930s,when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas,Texas.He also worked as a professor at SMU，and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease.She couldn't afford the operation because her family was poor.
Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston,a seaside town near Houston,Texas.She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）．On its top page were the words,"By O．Henry"．It was a nice story,and she sent it to her daughter at SMU，who showed it to my father.My father had never read the story before,but it sounded like O．Henry,and he knew that O．Henry had once lived in Houston.So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse,and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident.My father visited an O．Henry expert at Columbia University in New York,who authenticated the story as O．Henry's.
My father then set out to sell it.Eventually,he found himself in Des Moines,meeting with Gardner Cowles,a top editor at the Des Moines Register.Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot.My father took the money to the girl.It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.
My father never told me what the O．Henry story was about.But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.
49．Who found the O．Henry's manuscript？
A．The girl's mother.B．The author's father.
C．The girl.D．The author.
50．Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic？
A．O．Henry once worked in Houston.B．O．Henry once stayed in Galveston.
C．O．Henry once moved to Des Moines.D．O．Henry once taught at SMU．
51．The underlined word"authenticated"in Paragraph 2 probably means ．
A．named B．treated C．proved D．described
52．According to the text,why did the author's father go to Des Moines？
A．To sell the O．Henry story.B．To meet the author himself.
C．To talk with the O．Henry expert.D．To give money to the girl.

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight,while the French,who consume rich food,continue to stay thin？Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full.However,Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr.Joseph Mercola,a health expert,the French see eating as an important part of their life style.They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table,while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities.Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full.So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped.In addition,he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week.The French,instead,tend to shop daily,walking to small shops and farmers'markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits,vegetables,and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States,Mireille Guiliano,author of French Women Don't Get Fat,decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food.Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences,evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits.Today the rate of obesity-or extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%．However,as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions,the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing.
（1）In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr.Joseph Mercola？
A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C．They regard eating as a key part of their life style.
D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
（2）This text is mainly the relationship between ．
A．Americans and the French
B．life style and obesity
C．children and adults
D．fast food and overweight
（3）The text is mainly developed ．
A．by contrast
B．by space
C．by process
D．by classification
（4）Where does this text probably come from？
A．A TV interview
B．A food advertisement
C．A health report
D．A book review

One afternoon last week,I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by teachers.That morning,my 11-year-old had stomach pains,retching（干呕）into a bowl.Talking to other mothers later,I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.
What caused so much pain？Sports day.Sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive independent school,but not at a village primary school.For the children who can fly like the wind,sports day cause no problem.For those who are overweight or just not good at sport,it is nightmare（噩梦）．Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents,it can prove a disaster.
Why do we put our children through this annual suffering？Some may say competition is character building；or it's taking part,not winning,that's important；or that it is a tradition of school life.I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.
Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races,wild enthusiasm,lots of shouting-and were fun to watch.More importantly,the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes.Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.
I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less-competitive event.Perhaps an afternoon of team games,with a few races for those who want them,would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.
（1）What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1？
A．He talked with some mothers.
B．He comforted his classmates.
C．He had difficulty in sleeping.
D．He suffered from stomachache.
（2）Sports day is still an annul event in this school probably because ．
A．this is an independent school
B．it is a tradition of the school
C．it helps children lose weight
D．children enjoy watching sports
（3）What does the author think about team games？
A．They should include more stressful races.
B．They are acceptable to different children.
C．They should be abandoned at primary schools.
D．They are less fun for those who love running.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards sports day？
A．Critical.
B．Neutral.
C．Positive.
D．Ambiguous.

A．Real winners of tourism
B．Negative effects of tourism
C．Growing tourism in the world
D．Developing tourism with caution
E．Benefits to the locals from tourism
F．Tourism problems and possible solutions |
61．
On the Mediterranean island of Majorca in Spain,the locals are angry.Too late.In the last quarter of the 20th century,they obtained profit from foreign visitors wanting to buy up property on their beautiful island.Suddenly,it occurred to Majorcans that the island no longer belonged to them.Its 630，000inhabitants（居民）are increasingly convinced that the 14million visitors a year are far too much of a good thing.Water is in short supply,pollution is worsening,and there is no affordable housing left for them to buy.
62．
Tourism is the world's largest and fastest growing industry.In 1950，25 million people traveled abroad； last year,it was 750million.The World Tourism Organization predicts that 1.6 billion people,by 2020，will travel each year,spending over two trillion（万亿）US dollars.
63．
The host country may not see many benefits.In Thailand,60% of the ＄4 billion annual tourismincome leaves the country.Tourists arrange by travel companies tend to stay at a big foreign-owned hotels,buying few local products.Mass tourism（团队旅游）usually leaves little money inside the country and most of the money goes to the airlines,thetouroperators,and the foreign hotel owners,who are the final winners of tourism.
64．
These days the industry′s most urgent question may be how to control the flow of tourists.A typical example of this is Italy,where great cultural centers like the Florence and Venice can′thandle all the tourists they get every summer.In Florence,its half-million inhabitants have to live with the pollution,traffic jam,and crime caused by 11 million visitors a year.Now there is talk about how to solve these problems,like raising hotel taxes,or even changing admission to some public squares.The idea is to discourage at least some visitors,as well as to pay for cleaning up the mess.
65．
For many poorer countries,tourism may still offer the best hope for development.The Vietnamese are doing their best to open up their country.Libya has paid 1million for a study.They all wanted tourists.Yet if something isn't done,tourism seems certain to become the victin of its success.Its effect on the environment is a major concern.For this reason,tourist organizations need to have second thoughts about what exactly they are trying to sell.
