HOLLYWOOD(UPI)—Loni Anderson decided last year it was time to change her career around to play moms and comedy instead of pretty young girls.
So far, most people remember her as Jennifer Marlowe, the role she played in her first film in 1982.
This summer people will see Anderson in “A Night as Roxbury”, a film produced and directed by Amy Heckerlin.
“In the film I have two sons. One is 26, and the other is 30. Isn’t that interesting? I know I don’t look that old, but that’s what’s so fun about it.”
“My character dresses in clothes too short, too tight. Dan Hedaya plays my husband. We’re a couple with a lot of money and no taste. Our sons are complete idiots. Their purpose in life is to get into the Rich Young Man Club where everybody is proud of his wealth.”
“As you can tell, I’m doing things I’d never have done at the beginning of my career.”
“But I am who I am. I’ve worked as an actress a long time and now I can be anything I want. It’s a great time for me. I don’t have anything to prove.”
“I hadn’t done comedy in a long time. It’s what I do best and what I like best. At this point in my life I want to look a little bit foolish. I think that would be something new for me.”

The world’s oldest man, 112-year-old Antonio Todde died on the Italian island of Sardinia.
Todde made it into the Guinness Book of Records when he turned 112 last year and wore his crown of “The Oldest Living Man on Earth” with pride and a sense of humor.
Born in a tiny mountain village in 1889, the same year work on the Eiffel Tower was completed and baby Adolf Hitler took his first breath, Todde seldom left the village. He lived in the same house with his wife of 78 years, Maria Antonia, all his life.
He witnessed (见证) the two World Wars, a technological revolution and saw the world’s population quadruple (四倍) but was untroubled by the passing of the years.
“His life was very simple but those 100 years, he lived them to the full,” said Mariolina, recalling how he liked to play cards with his friends and go for long walks.
Todde’s life and that of his fellow islanders is the focus of a scientific study.
A remarkable number of Sardinia’s 1.6 million people live through a century. Some 135 people per million live to see their 100th birthday.
Todde’s own family seems a case in point—his two daughters are 78 and 81 separately and his sister is 98.
The answer to the often-posed question of just how he managed it was simple for Antonio.
“Just love your brother and drink a good glass of red wine every day.” he was quoted(引证) as saying when he celebrated his 112th birthday last year.
“You take one day after the other, you just go on.”

C. he had a sense of humor

B. Todde’s life was greatly affected by the two World Wars
C. the Eifiel Tower was completed in the year 1889
D. living in the mountain is necessary for a man to live long
69. Todde’s secret of becoming the world’s oldest man is that ______.
A. he did nothing but drink a glass of red wine every day
B. he lived a life in his own way
C. he was rich enough to care nothing but play

C
People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctor’s office. At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctor’s treatment depended on talking with the patient. In general, the communication between doctors and patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modern age of medicine began with the stethoscope, an instrument for listening to patient’s heartbeat and breathing. Before that, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact there was no such thing as a medical examination. All treatment was the result of the patient’s telling the doctor what the problem was and the doctor’s being able to understand it.
The stethoscope…and all the other medical instruments…had a section effect on the practice of medicine. Doctors became better at finding the medical problems. More lives were saved. At the same time, doctors give less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stopped talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought of themselves as broken machines.
71. Today doctors ______.
A. have to be more skillful than they used to be
B. mainly depend on their reservation of the patients
C. can satisfy their patients with various tests
D. are less respected by their patients than before
72. About 200 years ago, doctors did not know ______.
A. the importance of deserving the patient’s breath
B. the relation between heartbeat and illness
C. the methods of how to question their patients
D. the necessity of asking patients about their health
73. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. A doctor needs to have more instruments than before.
B. Now communication between doctors and patients is not as important as before.
C. Doctors usually begin with treatment with medical instruments.
D. A doctor’s treatment depended on medical examination 200 years ago.
74. The word “stethoscope” refers to ______.
A. an instrument for checking health conditions
B. a kind of medicine for treating coughs
C. a kind of heart disease
D. a new medical treatment
75. The best title for this passage is ______.
A. The Stethoscope
B. The Development of Medical Methods
C. The Medical Methods of Two Hundred Years Ago
D. How Doctors Treat Their Patients Today
D
Switzerland has long prided itself on the quality of its private secondary schools. The reputation(名誉) of these schools for providing a nice education is very good. Additionally, they offer parents the security(安全) of knowing that their children are growing up in a reasonably crime-free area(非犯罪区) and that they are safe from many of the problems that may exist in their own countries.
“Security is a major factor among many parents for choosing a school in Switzerland,” says Jean Pierre du Pasquier, director of the Ecole Lemania.
Parents like the fact that Switzerland is a low-crime area, where kidnapping(绑架) is unknown. While Switzerland does have its problems with teenage drug use, as does every other European nation, Switzerland’s private schools still have strict drug policies and in most cases a single use can result in expulsion(开除).
Another advantage for the student is that these days, a child is likely to be not only in an international environment, but also to be studying with international students. In the past, most foreign students came from North America, England and other part of Europe. Today, they also come from Russia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Israel, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
Le Rosey, the College Du Leman and the Leysin American School all have international student bodies. The great outdoors students at Chantemerle and at Monte Rosa, both of which are near Montreux, report that the opportunity to live in or near the mountains and take advantage of all the exciting activities they offer makes life much richer.
Student bodies in schools in Saanen-Gastaad takes grade school students throughout the year and also holds summer camp. Children here are taught in English, but they hear French and German around them all the time.
In this way they quickly become skilled in skiing and other winter sports and develop a strong interest in nature, which is all around them.
76. According to this passage, when parents send their children to study abroad, they first consider the ________.
A. distance B. security C. quality D. size
77. From this passage we can conclude that ________.
A. taking drugs is not a problem in all the European
countries
B. taking drugs is not against law in some European countries
C. only teenagers take drugs in Switzerland
D. if a teenager takes drugs, he will be punished
seriously
78. The writer of this passage holds the opinion that______.
A. it’s better to study in Europe
B. it’s better to study in America
C. it is better to study with students from different
countries
D. it is better to study in one’s own country
79. If you study in Switzerland, you may _______.
A. have a lot of homework to do every day
