The valley known as Sleepy Hollow hides from the world in the high hills of New York state. There are many stories told about the quiet valley. But the story that people believe most is about a man who rides a horse at night. The story says the man died many years ago during the American Revolutionary War. His head was shot off. Every night he rises from his burial place, jumps on his horse and rides through the valley looking for his lost head.

Near Sleepy Hollow is a village called Tarry Town. It was settled many years ago by people from Holland. The village had a small school. And one teacher, named Ichabod Crane. Ichabod Crane was a good name for him, because he looked like a tall bird, a crane. He was tall and thin like a crane. His shoulders were small, joined two long arms. His head was small, too, and flat on top. He had big ears, large glassy green eyes and a long nose.

Ichabod did not make much money as a teacher. And although he was tall and thin, he ate like a fat man. To help him pay for his food he earned extra money teaching young people to sing. Every Sunday after church Ichabod taught singing.

Among the ladies Ichabod taught was one Katrina Van Tassel. She was the only daughter of a rich Dutch farmer. She was a girl in bloom…much like a round red, rosy apple. Ichabod had a soft and foolish heart for the ladies, and soon found himself interested in Miss Van Tassel.

Ichabod's eyes opened wide when he saw the riches of Katrina's farm: the miles of apple trees and wheat fields, and hundreds of fat farm animals. He saw himself as master of the Van Tassel farm with Katrina as his wife.

But there were many problems blocking the road to Katrina's heart. One was a strong young man named Brom Van Brunt. Brom was a hero to all the young ladies. His shoulders were big. His back was wide. And his hair was short and curly. He always won the horse races in Tarry Town and earned many prizes. Brom was never seen without a horse.

Such was the enemy Ichabod had to defeat for Katrina's heart.

59. The first paragraph serves as_______.

A. example                B. explanation            C. introduction           D. comment

C. Ichahod tried to win Katrina’s heart.

Tsethang serge(羊毛料), considered the finest of all Tibetan traditional fabrics, has reemerged(重新出现) decades after disappearing from the market.

     Traditionally reserved for lords and high-ranking monks, Tsethang serge has been a symbol of status in Tibet since the 1300s. But the craft of weaving(纺织工艺) the fabric became obsolete in the 1970s and for decades only existed in memory.

     Until 2007, when Pasang, a Tibetan living where the cloth originated in Tsethang, Nedong County, was talking with one of the town's elders while teaching a traditional painting class.

     "He told how much he wished the Tsethang serge could be preserved," Pasang recalls.

     Shortly after, Pasang became fascinated by the traditional craft, spending two years searching for weavers capable of creating the special cashmere fabric(羊绒织物).

     Most weavers were dead. The few survivors had not weaved for more than 20 years. Pasang managed to put together five weavers in their 80s, who gathered to rebuild the tools and retrace the 18 procedures of the complex weaving with their memory.

     The fabric was invented in the 1350s at the Tsethang Temple, when monks modified the weaving techniques of the more common traditional Tibet Pulu fabrics. It is much thinner, finer and smoother, but the weaving is extremely complex and time-consuming.

     It takes 40 days to weave the fabric for one outfit, Pasang said. The fabric uses the best wool from the back and neck of Tibetan sheep or goat. Fine weaving plus quality raw material makes the fabric tender, smooth, durable and static free(无静电干扰), he added.

     When he spent all his savings in building a workshop for weaving the Tsethang serge, his only goal was to preserve the tradition. But the fabric turned out to be as marvelous as the elders remembered. Its fame soon spread by word of mouth.

63. Most probably, “obsolete” in the second paragraph means______.

A. superb                  B. old-fashioned                C. expensive              D. obvious

64. Who first had the idea of preserving Tsethang serge?

A. Some old Tibetans                B. A man named Pasang from Han nationality

C. Pasang, a Tibetan                  D. Weavers of serge

65. How could Pasang create serge when most weavers were dead?

A. He gathered some old weavers together and retraced the procedures of the weaving.

B. He found some old women weavers to tell the weaving procedure from their memory.

C. Some old weavers helped him to find the serge they weaved when young.

D. Pasang bought the serge the old weavers made.

66. What is the main idea of the second paragraph from the bottom?

A. The development and the history of the serge.

B. The reason why the fabric is valuable

C. It takes long to weave the fabric for one outfit

D. The fabric uses quality raw material.

A study now lends support to the idea that meal-time distractions (分散注意) can mask the clues that we really have eaten quite enough. Moreover, it finds, the caloric consequence of not paying attention to what we’re eating doesn’t necessarily end when a meal is over.

    Rose Cooper from England, and her colleagues gathered 22 men and an equal number of women for an experiment. Each person ate alone, continuously receiving nine small shares of food items. These ranged from cheese twists and potato chips to carrots, cherry tomatoes and sandwiches or sausage rolls.

    Because the goal was to test the potential impacts of distraction on fullness, the researchers randomly assigned half of the participants to eat in front of a computer—and to gain as many wins as possible at the “card” game. Everyone else was told to focus on the sensory qualities of their meal.

    According to their instructions, the participants ate all of the food given to them. Yet people who played a computer game during lunch found their meal less filling than the mindful eaters had. Game players also swallow down twice as many cookies, almost an hour later, when they were allowed all the dessert they wanted (in the name of a taste test). The British scientists present their findings in the February American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The real question is why distracted eating should impact snacking. It appears, the scientists say, that memory plays some tricky role in how we register what we eat and the degree to which it satisfies.

Interestingly, eight years ago, Britta Barkeling of Huddinge University in Stockholm and her colleagues reported somewhat related findings. Their 18 overweight subjects had no choice other than to get rid of everything but lunch, on one day—because they were blindfolded. Compared to a day when they could view what they were dining on, these people consumed only three quarters as many calories. Yet even hours afterward, they reported being no less full than on the day they had been able to see their plates.

Of course dining in the dark isn’t practical. And sometimes what we eat doesn’t really invite our absolute attention. But there is certainly a growing mountain of data indicating that mindless eating is a waste of resources, a risk to our waistlines—and a costly threat to health.

67. Rose Cooper and her colleagues did the experiment in order to _______.

     A. show that all the people enjoy snacks

      B. prove that playing computer games is harmful while dining

C. find possible effects of distraction on fullness

D. test the impacts of eating snacks on different people

68. Which is the most effective way to concentrate on your food when dining?

     A. Viewing your food.                           B. Blindfolding your eyes.

C. Playing computer games.                          D. Eating by oneself.

69. The reason why distracted eating influences snacking may be that ________.

A. you eat less in that case                      B. you are cheated by your memory

C. you have consumed more calories       D. you digest what you’ve eaten faster

70. We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A. distracted eating may damage your health

B. eating snacks will make you feel full

C. Britta became famous because of the experiment

D. playing is more important than what we eat

You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time, don’t you?  71   About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.

1. Self-awareness

    When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That’s a nice shirt, but I can’t afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.”   72 

Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.

2. Distance yourself

  73   Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand（困境）.

3. Don’t try to change complainers

If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target.   74   If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think, “I’m glad I rested up over the weekend, so I’m ready to make some improvement on that big project.”

4.    75  

When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers don’t really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy. 

 A. Find solutions

 B. Change responsibility

 C. You have got a lot of company.

 D. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.

 E. But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.

 F. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.

 G. You will never know what they are going to talk about.

Today is Sunday. I didn't get up early as usually. In the morning after I finished my homework, I do some washing. Then I telephoned one of my classmate and invited him to see a film. And unfortunately, when we got to the cinema at 3:00 p.m. we found all the tickets had sold out. Then we went back to school and played the football. After which, we were about to go home when we saw our English teacher, Mr. Green, coming into the school gate. He told us we have made a great progress in English recently.
