As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange_36_things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that_37_me so much. There was never total_38_, but a streetlight or passing car lights_39_clothes hung over a chair take on the_40_of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my_41_, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no_42_. A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My_43_would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would_44_very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, _45_on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no_46_.

Perhaps one of the worst fears_51_all I had as a child was that of not being liked or_52_by others. Being popular was so important to me_53_, and the fear of not being liked was a _54_one.

                             A

The Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahan: its shortened form Taj Mahan, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.

He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and  Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahan, one of the most beautiful building in the world.

The building itself stands on a marble. Platform 29 meters square and 6---7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four comers. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is a eight-sided building made of white marble.

The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.

56．The whole passage tells us about ______.

    A . a beautiful fairy tale          B. the story of the Taj Mahan 

C. white and black marble tombs made for two emperors

D. the love story of emperor Shah Jahan and his wife

57. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Taj Mahan?_____

A.     It was completed quickly owing to the efforts of the best artists and workers.

B.     A lot of people took part in the building work

C.     It is a magnificent building.

D.     It is a tomb for the emperor’s beloved wife.

58. The emperor’s own tomb was designed to be _____.

A. 61 meters high                 B. eight-sided

C. black-coloured                 D. white-colored

59. The emperor ____.

A. died soon after Taj Mahan died    B. was killed by his son

C. was beloved by his people        D. died after 1648

At the airport desk, he suddenly thought that he had forgotten to buy a newspaper. He left his suitcase near the desk and went over to the shop.

                      Weight of Americans

  Even as Americans have been gaining weight, they have cut their average fat intake from 36-34 percent of their total diets in the past 15 years. And indeed, cutting fat to control or lose weight makes sense. Fat has nine calories (热能) per gram. Protein and carbohydrates (碳水化合物) have just four. Moreover, the body uses fewer calories to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat than it does to metabolize other foods.

  But cutting fat from your diet doesn’t necessarily mean your body won’t store fat. For example, between nonfat and regular cookies, there’s trivial difference in calories because manufacturers make up for the loss of fat by adding sugar. Low-fat crackers, soups and dressings can also be just as high in calories as richer versions. No matter where the calories come from, overeating will still cause weight gain. The calories from fat just do it a little quicker. A Wisconsin computer programmer who decided with a diet coach to eat only 40 grams of fat a day learned the lesson firsthand. He wasn’t losing weight. Then he showed his food diary to his coach and revealed he’d been eating half a pound of jelly beans a day. “They don’t have any fat,” he explains. But they had enough sugar to keep him from shedding (去除) an ounce.

73. Why Americans are still gaining weight?

A. They eat too much fat                         B. They over eat

C. They eat low-fat crackers, soups and dressings     D. They eat sugar

74. What lesson did the computer programmer learn?

A. Overeat will cause weight gain             B. His coach gave him a lecture

C. He can eat half a pound of jelly beans a day   D. He didn’t eat any fat

75. According to the author, _____ has less calories.

A. fat      B. protein and carbohydrates    C. sugar    D. amino acids
