How many coins have you got in your pocket now? Three? Two? One?
With a phone card you can make up to 200 calls without any change at all.
(1) What do you do with it?
Go to a telephone box marked (you guessed it) “ Phone card ”. Put in your card, make your
call and when you’ve finished, a screen tells you how much is left on your card.
(2) Now appearing in a shop near you.
Near each card phone place you’ll find a shop where you can buy one. They’re at bus, train and city tube stations, also in many universities, hospitals clubs, restaurants and gas stations on the highway and shopping centers and at airports and seaports.
(3) No more broken payphones.
Most broken payphones are like that because they’ve been vandalized (故意破坏). There are no coins in card phones to excite thieves’ interest in it. So you will probably not find a vandalized one.

You are seeing a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.
They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “ blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously injured, and even killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞 ) failed to open and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls , too.
72. What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A. Sometimes an accident can happen to a stuntman.
B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C. Parachutes must be of good quality.
D. The cliff was too high.
73. Stuntmen are those who __________________.
A. often dress up as actors.
B. like to lead dangerous lives.
C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions.
D. often fight each other for their lives.
74. Stuntmen earn their living by ___________________.
A. playing their dirty tricks.
B. selling their special skills.
C. jumping out of high windows.
D. jumping from fast moving trains.
75. When a stuntman falls from a high building, _____________________.
A. he needs little protection.
B. he will be covered with a mattress.
C. his life is in danger.
D. his safety is generally all right.
76. Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?
A. Strength B. Exactness C. Speed D. Carefulness
D
Recently some American scientists have given a useful sincere piece of advice to people in industrialized nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.
The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since humans first appeared on the earth, but the way we live has changed greatly. Our body has not been able to deal with ( 处理，对付 )these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times, so they are called “ diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes ( 中风 ) are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol (酒精 ) or tobacco ( 烟草), probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic or tame ones ( 家畜 ). They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They didn’t have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of these. We eat six times more salt than our remote ancestors ( 祖先 ). We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein (蛋白质 ) and much less vitamin C.
People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate much the same way as remote ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.
77. According to the passage, people in industrialized nations would be much healthier if they ate____________________.
A. more food than humans living 10,000 years ago did.
B. as much food as humans living 10,000 years ago did
C. more kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago.
D. more of the same kind of food eaten by people over 10,000 years ago.
78. New kinds of sicknesses have been found because ___________________.
A. the human body has changed compared with humans who first appeared on the earth.
B. the way we live has changed a little.
C. our body can’t deal with the changes in life style.
D. the way we live today is proper for the human body.
79. What is the main cause that people suffer from ( 患…..病 ) a lot of new sicknesses?
A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise.
B. People today have a lot of alcohol.
C. People today have more tobacco.
D. Food today is quite different from that of ancient times.
80. Which of the following belongs to the dairy products?
A. Milk B. Corn C. Pork D. Flour
81. According to some scientists , Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of _____________.
A. milk and other dairy products.
B. wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits.
C. salt and sugar
D. grain foods
