阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

[1] The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive(难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.

[2] Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.

[3] The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.

[4] Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can ______. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don’t have.

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?

       They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.

       “What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.

       The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B. B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’(移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.

       The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.

56. Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival ______.

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert(警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.

Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates(估计) more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.

The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation’s emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.

“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.

Participation in the alert system by carriers—telecommunications companies—is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.

The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.

       There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.

       The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats,” which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction(绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.

       The service could be in place by 2010.

61. What is the purpose of the approved plan?

   A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.

   B. To popularize the use of cell phones.

   C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.

   D. To promote the wireless industry.

62. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ______.

   A. CTIA               B. THE Warning Alert and Response Network

   C. FCC                 D. federal regulators

63. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by ______.

   A. the US federal government

   B. mobile phone users

   C. the carriers themselves

   D. the law of the United States

64. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?

   A. They must accept the alert service.

   B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.

   C. They must send the alerts to others.

   D. They may choose the types of messages.

65. An alert message will NOT be sent if ______.

   A. a child loses his way

   B. a university shooting happens

   C. a natural disaster happens

   D. a terrorist attack occurs

66. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

   A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students

   B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry

   C. Cell Phone Alerts of Natural Disasters

   D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon

       It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘You should open a sandwich ship.’”

       That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront(店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.

       But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.

       Deluca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.

       But the partners’ learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” DeLuca says.

       And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” DeLuca adds.

       DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.

67. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ______.

   A. support his family                                        B. pay for his college education

   C. help his partner expand business                  D. do some research

68. Which of the following is true of Buck?

   A. He put money into the sandwich business.

   B. He was a professor of business administration.

   C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.

   D. He rented a storefront for DeLuca.

69. What can we learn about their first shop?

   A. It stood at an unfavorable place.

   B. It lowered the prices to promote sales.

   C. It made no profits due to poor management.

   D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.

70. They decided to open a second store because they ______.

   A. had enough money to do it

   B. had succeeded in their business

   C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers

   D. wanted to make believe that they were successful

71. What contributes most to their success according to the author?

   A. Learning by trial and error.

   B. Making friends with suppliers.

   C. Finding a good partner.

   D. Opening chain stores.

       Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards(Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards(广告牌) across the country.

       The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids F.A.C.E. worldwide and it is the world’s largest youth environmental organization.

      Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a “Children’s Forest” project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.

       Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid’s Yards—the creation of backyard wildlife habitats(栖息地)—and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.

       “Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club.”

       “We try to tell kids that it’s not OK to be lazy,” she explains. “You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult.”

72. Kids F.A.C.E. is ______.

　　据日本《中日新闻》网站14日报道，某些人紧张时之所以会发生腹痛甚至腹泻现象，是因为在运动神经的刺激下，肠内肌肉剧烈收缩。

　　不过迄今为止，人们只知道紧张和压力会产生这样的后果，但对它们引发肌肉收缩的具体机理并不清楚。

　　日本岐阜大学教授小森成一领导的研究小组通过研究发现，肌肉细胞表面有一种名为“channel”的分子构造物，人们紧张或感到压力时，这种分子构造物被激活，导致体内大量钙离子等在经过这种分子构造物时产生电流，刺激运动神经，从而引发肠内肌肉收缩。

　　小森成一教授说，仔细研究引起肠内肌肉收缩的关键物质——“channel”分子构造物及其在其他脏器中的分布，将有助于开发新药，预防学生考试前因紧张而出现的腹痛。

　　红糖通常是指带蜜的甘蔗成品糖，一般是指甘蔗经榨汁，通过简易处理，经浓缩形成的带蜜糖。红糖按结晶颗粒不同，分为赤砂糖、红糖粉、碗糖等，因没有经过高度精练，它们几乎保留了蔗汁中的全部成分，除了具备糖的功能外，还含有维生素和微量元素，如铁、锌、锰、铬等，营养成分比白砂糖要高很多。

　　每100克红糖含钙90毫克，含铁4毫克，还含有少量的核黄素及胡萝卜素。日本科研人员还从红糖中提取了一种叫做“糖蜜”的多糖，实验证明它具有较强的抗氧化功效，对于抗衰老有明显的作用。

　　中医认为，红糖性温、味甘、入脾，具有益气补血、健脾暖胃、缓中止痛、活血化淤的作用。老人对各种微量元素和维生素的摄入逐渐减少，平时应注意在饮食中补充，以维持正常代谢功能，延缓衰老。所以专家建议，老人在吃糖时，应多选择红糖。日本著名长寿县、红糖产地冲绳县的老人，就有每天喝一杯红糖水的习惯。

　　但是，并不是所有的老人都适合吃红糖，中医认为阴虚内热者、消化不良者和糖尿病患者不宜食用红糖。此外，在服药时，也不宜用红糖水送服
