    Although man has known asbestos （石棉） for many hundreds of years, it was not until 160 years ago that it was mined for the first time on the North American continent. H.W.Johns, owner of a New York City Supply Shop for roofers, was responsible for the opening of that first mine．
    Mr.Johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in Italy． He experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. After putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands.How astonished the customers were to discover that he was not burned at all．You can well imagine that he had increasing business in asbestos roofing materials． However, because it was very expensive to transport them from Italy to the United States, Mr.Johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. This young man found great vein（岩脉）, in the province of Quebec in Canada．
    Ever since 1881 Quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen．When it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be．When it is separated, a strange thing happens: the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibres．
    Scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads, but they have found thousands of uses of this fireproof material, of the so-called “cloth of stone”．

    A．Asbestos mined in Canada B．Fireproof matter
    C．A “wonder” mineral D．A new roofing material

    C
    Sitting in a dark movie theater with your friends. and a tub of popcorn (H^) sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday night, and it could be, if you are willing to share your popcorn with the entire row of moviegoers around you.
    A review of movie-theater popcorn reveals an alarming amount of fat, salt and calories in even the smallest sizes. A large tub of popcorn at Regal Cinemas, for example, holds 20 cups of popcorn and has 1,200 calories, 980 milligrams of sodium (钠) and 60 grams of saturated (饱和的) fat. Adding just a tablespoon of butter adds 130 calories. And do not forget that it comes with free refills.
    Not so hungry? The medium size popcorn, even the small, at 11 cups, delivers 670 calories, 550 milligrams of sodium .and 24 grams of saturated fat. The findings may surprise those who believe it is a relatively healthy snack. In fact, plain air-popped popcorn is low in calories and free of saturated fat. Movie theater popcorn, however, is popped in oil, often coconut oil, which is 90 percent saturated fat. Add salt to it, and your once-healthy snack turns into a health offender.
    One way to make your popcorn healthier? Ask the theater to pop the corn without salt. The best way to make your movie snack healthier, however, would be to skip the popcorn.
    "You could share a tub of popcorn with 10 friends," Dr. Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, said. "Or, what a concept, watch the movie without eating anything."
    64. The review finds that movie theatre popcorn may contain all the following EXCEPT ______.
    A. butter          B. sodium                 C. saturated fat         D. pepper
    65. What does the author think of popcorn prepared in coconut oil?
    A. It is a healthy snack.                        B. It does harm to our health.
    C. It looks like a perfect choice.                       D. It is very nutritious.
    66. Which kind of popcorn causes the least health concern?
    A. Movie theatre popcorn.                                 B. Popcorn sold at Regal Cinemas.
    C. Large size popcorn.                                      D. Plain air-popped popcorn.
    67. What is Dr. Nestle's suggestion to moviegoers?
    A. Avoid eating popcorn.                                  B. Share popcorn with friends.
    C. Not eating anything in the movie theatre.        D. Try eating other kind of food.

    Suppose that we lined up our roughly 14 million United States businesses in order of size, starting with the smallest, along an imaginary road from San Francisco to New York. There will be 4,500 businesses to the mile, or a little less than one per foot. Suppose further that we planted a flag each business. The height of the flag pole represents the yearly volume of sales (销量) , each $ 10, 000 in sales in shown by one foot of pole.
    The line of flagpoles is a very interesting sight. From San Francisco to about Reno, it is almost unnoticeable, a row of poles about a foot high. From Reno eastward the poles increase in height until, near Columbus, Ohio - about four - fifths of the way across the nation - flags fly about 10 feet in the air.
    But as we approach the eastern terminus (终点) , the poles suddenly begin to mount (升高) . There are about 300, 000 firms in the country with sales over $ 500, 000. These firms take up the last 75 miles of the 3,000 - mile road. There are 200, 000 firms with sales over $ 1 million. They take up the last 50 miles. Then there are 1, 000 firms with sales of $ 50, 000, 000 or more. They take up the last quarter of a mile before the city limits, flags flying at cloud height, 5 , 000 feet up .
    At the very gate of New York, on the last 100 feet of the last mile , we find the 100 largest industrial firms . They have sales of at least $ 1.5 billion, so that their flags are already miles high. Along the last 10 feet of road , there are 10 largest companies . Their sales are roughly $ 10 billion and up : their flags fly 190 miles in the air , almost in the stratosphere (平流层) .
    【小题1】What is the author’s main purpose in this passage?

    A．To tell the reason why the largest firms are in New York.
    B．To show the geographical distribution (分布) of the United States businesses.
    C．To provide a general idea of the size of businesses in the United States.
    D．To tell us how the United States businesses are arranged.
    【小题2】What’s the correct order of the following places from east to west?
    A．San Francisco, Reno, New York, Columbus.
    B．San Francisco, Reno, Columbus, New York.
    C．New York, Columbus, Reno, San Francisco
    D．New York, Reno, Columbus, San Francisco
    【小题3】Among the four parts of the imaginary road , which part , considering all the firms in it , has the largest total volume of sales ?
    A．The last 75 miles. B．The last 50 miles.
    C．The last 100 feet of the last mile.D．The last quarter of a mile
    【小题4】Which of the following diagrams (图表) shows the right order of size of the US businesses , according to the text ?
    S =" San" Francisco  R =" Reno"  C =" Columbus"  N =" New" York  H =" height"  F = feet
