    　　(London)－If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble．

    　　Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的)fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external(外部的)fat which can be noticed more easily．

    　　“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College．Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat．

    　　According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim．

    　　Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside．Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores(20 to 25)actually had too high levels of internal fat．Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent．

    　　According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat．They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat．Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere．

    　　Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes．They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems．

    　　The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet．“If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut．Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said．

    　　Today remarkable escapes are not unusual. In cinemas and on TV we watch secret agents (特工) using all kinds of modern equipment, escape from impossible situations. If we believe what we read in the newspapers, the world of cinema and TV is not so far from the real world. Yet wonderful and brave as modern agents are, none have succeeded in bettering the remarkable feats of Erich Weiss, known to the world as the Great Houdini.

    　　Erich Weiss was born in the U. S. A. in 1874. When he was seven years old he saw his first circus (马戏表演). He wanted to be a magician and conjurer and he began practising every day. He joined an athletic club because he believed that physical fitness was important. When he was eleven he got a job as a locksmith and it was not long before he was able to pick any lock. He was even able lo open handcuffs. In 1893 Erich appeared at the Chicago World Fair as Harry Houdini, Handcuffed King and Escape Artist. This was the start of a remarkable career, which lasted thirty-four years. In this time Houdini and his wife, perhaps the only person who knew the secret of his tricks, traveled all over the world. Houdini performed before millions of people including kings, queens, dukes and millionaires.

    　　Houdini was able to make elephants disappear but his special trick was escaping. Once he was handcuffed and put into a packing case. He was them tied with rope, weighed, and thrown into the sea. It took Houdini less than five minutes to come to the surface. He once challenged the police of fourteen countries to keep him handcuffed and locked up. In Russia he was handcuffed and locked in a steel prison van. The door was locked and chained. There was only a well barred window five inches square. The Russians thought it was impossible to escape from this. Houdini had no modern equipment but it took only an hour. There was nothing to show how he did it. Nobody knows how he performed his remarkable tricks but we do know he practised every day of his life. He was always in very good physical condition. His toes could do the work of fingers. He used to tie string in complicated (复杂的) knots (结) and then undo the knots with his toes without looking! He also learned to stay underwater for six minutes and had an ice cold bath every morning so he could work in winter. There have been many excape artists since Houdini but none have been quite so clever.

    (1)What is Houdini's special trick?

    [　　]

    A．Making elephants disappear.

    B．Picking locks.

    C．Opening handcuffs.

    D．Escaping.

    (2)Compared with the modern agents and the other escape artiste, Houdini is ________.

    [　　]

    A．as clever as themp

    B．cleverer than most of them

    C．the cleverest

    D．not so clever as them

    (3)He began to finish his career at the age of ________.

    [　　]

    A．11
    B．19
    C．34
    D．53

    (4)In the world perhaps ________ knew the secret of his tricks.

    B．only his wife

    C．modern agents

    D．other escape artists

    　　I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand．All my clothes were new：the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap．They did not make me happy, however, as tins was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time．I tried in vain lo convince him that I did nothing wrong all the way, but it didn't help．

    　　When we．arrived at the sate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls．I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him．"Be a man, "he said．"today you truly begin your life．You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave．"

    　　I took a few steps．Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view．I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me．I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way．But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you? "

    　　"My father," I whispered．

    　　''My father's dead, " he said simply．

    　　I did not know what to say．The gate was now closed．Some of the children burst into tears．The bell rang．A lady came along, followed by a group of men．The men began soiling us into ranks．We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings．

    　　Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis．From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls．I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences．

    　　Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded．We had to be observant and patient．It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around．Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting．And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold．Even more frequently

    　　she would resort to physical punishment．

    　　The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work．The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again．I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate．I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised lo be there．I stepped aside to wait．

    　　Be more popular, get better grades, have more pocket money．．．A teenager's life seems far from trouble-free．However, American author Daniel Gottlieb disagrees．

    　　In his book, Learning From the Heart：Lessons on Living, Loving and Listening, Gottlieb says that people should listen to the voices of others and to their own hearts and learn to feel comfortable with who they are．

    　　In most people's eyes, Gottlieb, 60, might be uncomfortable with himself．He became paralyzed(瘫痪)due to an accident that happened when he was 30．He went through a terrible divorce(离婚)and his second wife got cancer．He had to try hard to communicate with his autistic(患有自闭症的)grandchild．

    　　Yet in his book, Gottlieb manages to see the silver lining to every cloud．He writes that being paralyzed brings him great parking spaces．He doesn't need to spend money on shoes．More importantly, he learns that what he really wants is to stop wanting to become or to have something that he simply cannot be or have．

    　　"Because of my dilferentness, I have not been intimidated(胁迫)by my need to be like everyone rise," he writes．"I might not have become the man I am today were-it not for this trauma(伤害)．"

    　　Perhaps, the best side of being paralyzed for Gottlieb is that he becomes an outsider among people?"like a foreign reporter", as he puts it．He acutely(敏锐的)observes the way people act, think and live, and puts his observations into the pages of Learning From the Hears．Its Chinese version will be released in January next year．

    　　Publishers Weekly says that the message of the book contains "the unmistakable ring of truth to it; love rather than change yourself or anyone else"．

    　　"Trying to change others is about intolerance(不够宽容)," the magazine says, "which is．at the core(核心问题)? of so much enmity(敌对)．We can't find peace unless we are trying to help others find peace also．"

    (1)

    What does Daniel Gottlieb think of a teenager's life?

    [　　]

    A．

    It is far from trouble-free．

    B．

    It is a time for friendship．

    C．

    It is a time to experience life．

    D．

    It is not as difficult as people imagine．

    (2)

    What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?

    [　　]

    A．

    I have suffered a lot in the past．

    B．

    I want to change myself in the future．

    C．

    The accident has shaped who I am．

    D．

    If I were not disabled, I would be much happier．

    (3)

    Which of the following statements about Daniel Gottlieb is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．

    He had a comfortable life before he was 30．

    B．

    He thinks it is important that people enjoy who they are．

    C．

    He doesn't feel any different from the people around him．

    D．

    He described the difficulties he faced as a paralyzed man in the book．

    (4)

    What is the article mainly about?

    [　　]

    A．

    An introduction to a book by a disabled man．

    B．

    Suggestions for disabled people on how lo live their lives．

    C．

    The difficult lire of a disabled man．
