25、e disease.Johnson was the longest surviving person born HIV positive.(艾滋病病毒呈阳性) He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life.At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother (养母), Gail Johnson, took him in at the age of two.

26、kosi Haven across town from her house in Melville.

27、ood in front of a large audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki.

28、h.Johnsons speech was broadcast live across the world. With views beyond his age and even a sense of humor, Johnson soon became an international sign of the fight against AIDS and HIV.56.

Thats the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce (盎司)of salt wate
32、r fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with m
33、ore than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of
34、fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption(消费量) averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more eating
35、 lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease.

38、 _. A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries B. the effect of fish eating on peoples health C. the changes in peoples diet D. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures63. We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths _. A. in Dutch B. in Ame
39、rica C. in the countries with high consumption of fish D. in the countries with good production of fishC How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many. This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a reh
40、earsal (排演) and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments. We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are sudd
41、enly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life. In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English：“Have a nice day”. They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels a
42、nd sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in fact, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day. How often do we say to ourselves, Ill take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) as soon as I get a higher position, only to do none of those things when I do get the higher positi
43、on. When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job at the Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper.

44、treet in central London for a small local area? I wanted to know. Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains.64. The
45、 first paragraph of the passage tells us that . A. we always try to find some time to write a book B. we always make plans but seldom accomplish them C. we always enjoy many of lifes best moments D. we always do what we really want to do65. The underlined phrase turn his back on (paragraph 6) most probably means . A. leave for B. return to C. give up D. rely on66. The man ( paragraph 6) left his first job partly because he was . A. in an abnormal mental
