I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but
题型：不详难度：来源：
I wasted a lot of time looking for the “typical” village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions are quite different from village to village. But the villages I stayed in had much in common---poor, dirty and backward. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled and doubtful. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three—quarters of the world population live, and what effect their future might have on ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.
In the end I chose a mountain village because it was little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a rocky road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a beautiful scene. After several hours’ walk the village came into sight.

I’ll never forget my first job interview. It was a 36 position at an elementary school in my hometown. I was very 37 and worried, but I thought I had an “in” 38 I knew many people in this district. I felt 39 that the interview would be a piece of cake. I had 40 well for my interview; I had been 41 interview questions in front of my mirror for days. I wore my navy blue suit and took my 42 of lessons I had taught during student teaching. There was 43 I would not face this interview.
After arriving at the school about half an hour early, I waited 44 in the office. The secretary told me not to be nervous.“ Just 45 ,”he advised. When the time for my interview 46 came, I was so nervous that I didn’t think I could 47 any questions.

When you think of the different types of advertising, several come to your mind. There are the traditional means to advertise: newspapers, magazines, radio, television commercials, billboards, and even taxicabs. Yet there are other types of advertising, such as aerial advertising, which is very different in many aspects.
Radio advertising is aimed at the local customers. The downside of using radio is that the customer needs to have the station tuned in. Placement of ads on the radio is another consideration since listening time is important to the ad being heard at the best time. The upside of using radio is that the audience does tend to remember jingles（收音机广告中的歌曲）that are easy to remember.
Magazine and newspaper advertising is directed to the subscribers（订阅人）. The subscriptions limit the availability to non-subscribers. The concept of being able to read information online is slowly changing the subscriptions to this advertising market. Limitations of circulation of magazines and newspapers mean fewer people viewing the advertisements.
Television commercial advertising is channeled to the viewers. Limitations of viewers based on the available channel selections lower the exposure audience. With the availability of satellite to consumers, locating the client base for advertisement can easily be lost or overlooked.
Billboard advertising focuses on the area of the billboard. Limitations of outside regions viewing the information are high. Getting the attention of the passers-by to view the information is also a subject to be considered.
Aerial banner advertising focuses on vast population of various regions. Based upon the region, the exposure is limitless. Grabbing or gaining the public’s attention is based on simple human nature to look up at the airplane that is flying overhead. People typically look up when a plane flies overhead. To have a banner with an advertisement adds more curiosity and response.
People tend to remember aerial advertising at a high rate. They also tend to communicate to others about the advertisement by sharing the information by word of mouth. This word of mouth is absolutely free but is of important benefit to aerial advertising. Aerial advertising can be done throughout the entire year, but the warmer months are preferred. Aerial advertising has certain restrictions. Yet these restrictions are fewer than the other means of advertising.
59．The underlined word“downside”in the second paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A．strength B．weakness C．purpose D．instruction
60．Which of the following is the author probably in favor of?
A．Radio advertising. B．Television advertising.
C．Aerial advertising.D．Billboard advertising
61．The first paragraph is used as a（n） _________.

62．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Different advantages of advertising. B．Advantages overpass weakness.
C．Various weaknesses of advertising. D．Different types of advertising.
Everybody likes a winner， and there are always people ready to cheer for a good winner. But who has ever heard a song for the man who comes in second？ So this is in praise of the almost winner， the nearly champion(冠军)， the next to the biggest， the second best. This is the song of Mister Two.

nd came in second. It’s for the nights when you wonder if you ought to go on trying， since nobody seems to notice. . . We notice， Mister Two. We know the score. Winner or not， you’re a natural champion. There couldn’t be a race without you， Mister Two.

For better health, many people turn to doctors or self-help books．But they don’t realize that their friends could help them fight illness and sadness, slow aging and help them live a longer life．Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in whole health．A 10-year Australian study found that old people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study than those with fewer friends．
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well appreciated,” said Rebecca G．Adams, a professor of the University of North Carolina．“Friendship has a bigger influence on us than family relationships．” Why friendship has such a big effect isn’t clear．While friends can pick up medicine for a sick person, the advantages go well beyond physical help．
Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the foot of a steep（陡峭的）hill and fitting them with a heavy backpack．They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill．Some of them stood next to their friends during the research, while others were alone．The students who stood with their friends judged the hill to be lower than the hills in other students’ eyes．And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared．
“People with stronger friendship feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen A Roberto, director of the medical center at Virginia Tech．“Friendship is a great resource, but many people don’t realize it．The message of these studies is that friends make your life better．”
64．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ．
A．friends could take the place of doctors and medicine
B．researchers have studied the importance of friendship for a long time
C．people with few friends usually die at a young age
D．people with many friends can live longer
