When Mr. Johnson called again, the manager received him very politely. “That is a most remarkable oil you brought us, Mr. Johnson,” he said. Mr. Johnson nodded his smooth, dark head. That was something he knew well. “I have never seen anything quite like it, ” the manager admitted(承认). Mr. Johnson nodded again. “No?” he said politely. Then he nodded. “But I think you will, sir. A very great deal of it. ” He appeared to think for a moment. “I think you’ll find it will be on sale seven, perhaps eight years from now,” he smiled.
The manager thought that was uncertain. He said, “It is better than our fish oils. I admit that.”
“So am I told, sir,” agreed Mr. Johnson.
“Have you any plans to produce it yourself, Mr. Johnson?”
Mr. Johnson smiled again. “Would I be showing it to you if I had?”
“We might add some chemicals to one of our fish oils,” said the manager.
“It would be expensive to do that, even if you could,” Mr. Johnson said gently. “Besides,” he added, “I am told this oil will be much cheaper than your best oils. Cheaper than any vegetable oil, in fact.”
“Perhaps,” said Mr. Johnson. “There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort. The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay it as possible. That is, of course, the best way.”
The manager nodded. He knew plenty about all that. “But I am sorry for you, because, you see, that is not possible this time.”
The manager had his doubts, but al he said was an enquiring “Oh?”
“The other way,” continued Mr. Johnson, “is to produce the thing yourself before the trouble starts.”
36. The manager thought of adding chemicals to the fish oil to make it ______.
A. cheaper than the new oil B. more quickly
C. more expensive D. as good as the new oil
37. Mr. Johnson’ new oil will be ______.

A. cannot stop the new oil from being made B. will never know how to make it
C. has spent a lot of money on it D. doesn’t know enough about it

A stranger thing happens to nearly everybody at night. They turn off the light, pull up the covers, and close their eyes. Six or seven sleeping hours later they wake up.
Sleep puzzles science. Scientists and doctors would rather talk about why one can not fall asleep. They are not so sure what causes sleep.
The best conditions for sleep, they say, are good health and a meal which is neither too big nor too small. No worries and a comfortable place to sleep in are important too. They advise against two in one bed.
Strange things happen during sleep. For example, you move often. You would feel tired if you didn’t. You also dream. Part of your brain is still awake when you dream. Dreaming happens when the memory and imagination parts of your brain are still awake. Experiments have shown that most of us dream in color. But dreams may be caused by a stomachache.
Write the letter “T” if the sentence is true. Write “F” if it is false, and then correct the error.
( ) 40. Sleep puzzles scientists because they are not certain what makes people go to sleep.
( ) 41. It appears that scientists haven’t the exact answer to the sleep problem.
( ) 42. You would probably feel tired in the course of your sleep if you slept together with another person.
( ) 43. Dreaming probably happens at the time when some part of your brain is still in motion while you asleep.

You are standing under the most famous neon light (霓虹灯) in the center of London, waiting to cross the road. Suddenly the traffic stops. You hear the distant sounds of cheering, clapping and shouting. Then, like a multi-colored train, 2000 people with wheels on their feet go quickly past you with a loud noise. You have just witnessed (目睹) the London Skate, a twice weekly roller-skate event that attracts people in their hundreds and thousands. London Skate is a completely free four tour of the streets of London ---- the only condition is that you go along on roller-skates. It lasts between two and three hours and by the end of it you have skated between 10 and 12 miles.
The skate snacks round the street of London along several different routes. Many of the routes pass by tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben.
Marshals (交通协调员) go ahead of the group, stopping the traffic so that people can skate as safely as possible. Everyone is welcome to take part and people from the age of 4 to 63 years old join the fun. “I love it very much; it is amazing. It fells just like a carnival (狂欢节),” said Celeste Beverage, a regular skater.
Roller-skating is really taking off across Europe and America. It is a very good way to keep fit and can be practiced anywhere there is a smooth surface. Many big cities in Western Europe and in the US now have a regular group skating event.
The biggest skates take place in Paris and Munich and tens of thousands of fans show up on warm evenings. “Roller-skating is taking over the world,” said Julian Grenoble, a 25-year-old ski shop employee from London. He went to the Paris-Roller (Paris skate) regularly until he moved to Britain.
“It’s so exciting to skate in Paris. Everyone skates so fast and puts in their best efforts!” he said. The Paris Roller is well-known because of the huge attendance, the presence of marshals and the police protection. Paris is a great city for roller-skating because of its long wide streets and smooth surfaces. Roller-skating is also becoming more popular in China among young people and children. Skating fans’ favorite places to practice in China are big squares.

Food and ideas about cooking it have been passing from one part of the world to another since the Stone Age Revolution began in the Middle East. They were part of the spread of civilization, though since people change their tastes in painting and architecture (建筑学) much faster than their tastes in food, knowledge of what was eaten is far less than knowledge of the houses that were lived in or the clothes that were worn. Cookery books were few before the 17th century, and how close are the general eating habits at any period to the cookery books published?
Changes owed more to the movement of people, of animals, of merchants, of rich landowners, than to books. Before canals (运河), railways, good roads, most people ate what could be produced within a thirty-mile area. Ports did better, of course, if they were on a big trade route. For most people food was basically regional food and there was not always enough of it either. Even in good areas, poor country people had little to eat since most of what they produced went for sale at local markets. Only rich men could buy expensive seeds to grow unusual vegetables, or employ gardeners who understood how to grow fine fruit unfamiliar to the place they lived in, or afford cooks trained elsewhere to provide variety at mealtime.
The undoubted advantages of present-day large-scale manufacture (大规模生产) and organization-wonderful cleanliness, quick distribution (分配), prices that allow far more people than ever in the past to satisfy their hunger---- have not so far come to us together with an excellent quality of flavor (风味). Moreover, in a world where possibilities are endless, business seems to try to limit choice beyond a certain level. Of the 300 varieties of pears that listed by one French 17th-century gardener—even though he had to admit that only 30 of them were really worth eating—only about half a dozen are now produced in Europe.
52. Why do we know so little about the food people ate in the past?
A. Eating habits used to change very quickly.
B. There were no cookery books before the 17th century.
C. Cookery books probably didn’t show the eating habits of the same time.
D. There are very few paintings of food.
53. Changes in eating habits were caused by ______.
A. shortages of basic food B. the influence of travelers
C. developments in agriculture D. the recipes of foreign cooks
54. What is the problem with our food today?
A. It’s too expensive for many people. B. It’s manufactured too quickly.
C. It doesn’t taste as it used to. D. It’s exported in very large quantities.
55. What point is the author making in the example about the pear in the last paragraph?
A. There is not as much variety now as before.
B. There was more variety in the past but quality was not as high.
C. Most pears that were produced were not fit to eat.
D. There is more variety outside Europe than in Europe.
