7、r. My father seemed able to give away the food in a way that honored those he was giving to. This was not an arrogant act.

11、foe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being
12、rescued.Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition (探险) in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ships captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.When th
13、e ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.Selkirk was finally rescu
14、ed by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ships captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirks camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The arch
15、aeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say,
16、is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (导航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued.

21、But it makes sense. If you live longer, then you cost the health system more.”The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up (累计) the most expensive health costs. But on average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived about 77 years, and obese people lived about 80 years.
22、 Smokers and obese people tended to have more heart disease than healthy people. Therefore in the long run, the thin and healthy group cost about $417, 000, from age 20 on. Smokers cost about $326, 000 and obese people $371, 000.“The result throws a bucket of cold water onto the idea, based on guess
23、work, that obesity is going to cost trillions of dollars,” said Patrick Basham, a professor of health politics. “If were going to worry about the future of obesity, we should stop worrying about its financial impact,” he said.“The benefits of obesity prevention may not be seen immediately in terms o
24、f cost saving in tomorrows budget, but there are long-term gains,” said Van Baal. “These are often immeasurable when it comes to people living longer and healthier lives.” In the meanwhile, he said that governments should recognize that successful smoking and obesity prevention programs mean that pe
25、ople will have a longer chance of dying of something more expensive later in life.“Lung cancer is a cheap disease to treat because people dont survive very long. But if they are old enough to get Alzheimers (早老性痴呆症) one day, they may survive longer and cost more. We are not advising that governments
26、 stop trying to prevent obesity,” Van Baal said. “But they should do it for the right reasons.”32. Among middle-aged people, who may cost the health system most? A. Those who are heavy smokers.B.

30、 tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.1. Get out of your comfort zoneWe eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 37 In fact, our
31、 comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.2. Try different thingsIf you always do what youv
32、e always done, youll always get what youve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 38 Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old th
33、ing never is.3. 39 Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. 40 The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whateve
34、r it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.A. Take action B. Seek several options C. Think from the other persons point of view.D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tre
35、e.E. The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.F. We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.G. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into reality.第一节 完形填空This morning after I got the news that my best friend,
