In the centre of the main road into the town,he placed(63)avery large stone.Then he(64)hid(hide ) behind a tree and waited.Soon an old man came along with his cow.
"Who put this stone in the centre of the road?"said the old man,but he did not try to remove the stone.Instead,with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way.(65)Anotherman came along and did the same thing; then another came,and another.All of them complained about the stone but not tried to remove(66)it.Late in the afternoon a young man came along.He saw the stone,(67)saying(say) to himself:"The night(68)will be(be) very dark.Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone."Then he began to move the stone.He pushed and pulled with all his(69)strength (strong) to move it.How great was his surprise at last!(70)Underthe stone,he found a bag of money.

7.If you're a male and you're reading this,congratulations!You're a survivor.According to statistics,you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term,about 78years for men in Australia,you'll die on average five years before a woman.
There're many reasons for this-typically,men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly,men don't go to the doctor.
"Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should,"says Dr.Gullotta."This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike.According to a recent survey,95% of women aged between 15and early 40s see a doctor once a year,compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
"A lot of men think they're unbeatable,"Gullotta says."They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think,"Geez,if it could happen to him…"
Then there's the ostrich(鸵鸟) approach."Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,"says Dr.Ross Cartmill.
"Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,"Cartmill says.He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups."Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases.Besides,the final cost is far greater,it's called premature death(过早死亡)."
13.Why does the author congratulate male readers at the beginning of the passage?C
A.They can live longer than they expected.
B.They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.
C.They have lived long enough to read this article.
D.They are more likely to survive serious diseases now.
14.Which of the author's statements is the most important reason that men die five years earlier on average than women according to the passage?B
A.Men drink and smoke much more than women.
B.Men don't seek medical care as often as women.
C.Men are more likely to suffer from deadly diseases.
D.Men aren't as cautious as women in face of danger.
15.What does Dr.Ross Cartmill mean by"the ostrich approach"(in Para 5)?D
A.A casual attitude towards one's health conditions.
B.A new treatment for certain psychological problems.
C.Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.
D.Unwillingness to find out about one's disease because of fear.

11.Helsinki is offering young people the chance to rent a cheap apartment in an old people's home,if they agree to spend time socializing with the elderly residents.
The city council is seeking applications from renters under the age of 25 who will commit to spending between three and five hours each week with their older neighbours,at a care home in the eastern Laajasalo district.In exchange,they'll get a studio flat measuring 23 square meters with a private kitchen,bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month.
Currently only three flats are available,but the scheme is part of a wider effort to deal with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital.Ordinarily a studio costs about 600 euros a month,depending on the area,one local university advises.
Those who apply don't need any specific care experience."There are staff to look after the elderly,"project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle."We are looking for young people who maybe have a different perspective on everyday life,who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly residents."
More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week,and the idea has also been widely recognized by Finns on social media."Great project,hopefully it will spread to other areas,"writes one person on Facebook,while another applauds the scheme for bringing different generations together.
But some wish it were open to more people,with one user saying:"It's a shame that the flats are so small.It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as their neighbour."And one person has a different opinion about the cut-off age,writing:"What a shame I'm too old for this-I would have surely applied."

28.One can probably get the cheap apartment if heC.
A.reaches the age of 25
B.has financial problems
C.promises to accompany the elderly
D.agrees to share it
29.Why is the new rent scheme accepted?A
A.It can benefit both the young and the old.
B.It doesn't need any professional training.
C.The flats are well-equipped.
D.Big apartments are in short supply.
30.What does the underlined sentence suggest?C
A.He doesn't want to grow up.
B.He has a chance to apply again.
C.He disapproves of the age limit.
D.He applies for the flat without hesitation.
31.What would be the best title of the text?A
A.Young Finns offered cheap flats at a care home
B.New apartments designed for the elderly
C.A new approach to caring for the old
D.A good chance for the needy families.

1.While I was teaching in China,l became interested in acupuncture(针灸).It was after returning from China and witnessing how successful it had been that I reached the decision to become an acupuncturist myself.I was lucky to discover that the town where I lived had a famous college of traditional acupuncture.
Alternative medicine such as acupuncture is particularly important for me because I firmly believe that it works on the level of body,mind and spirit.This is very different from Western medicine which is supposed to work only on the body.When a person is ill,it is believed that there's something in their life wh ich is putting their energy levels out of balance.What alternative therapies(疗法)try to do is help to gradually push that energy back into balance.The result is that any disease present might naturally disappear as it cannot survive when energies are balanced.
I've treated a wide range of people for various conditions,for example people suffering from stress and anxiety.To acquire a qualification in acupuncture,I took a course that lasted three years.I had to go to the college about one weekend in three.I also had a large amount of homework and practical work to do,which I did two or three evenings a week.This involved locating points on different people.As you can imagine,this isn't straightforward as people are of different sizes and have differently shaped bodies.
In the future I hope to set up an alternative health clinic which will involve myself as an acupuncturist but perhaps other people as well.I'd like to work with people who provide treatments such as rubbing (按摩) and pressing people's feet in a special way to help them relax and feel well.I'd like to set it up somewhere in the countryside,where people could feel free from the stress of life.

24.The author decided to learn acupunctureC.
A.when he was teaching in China
B.when he was studying in college
C.after he came back to his mother country

A.It prevents disease.
B.It treats people as a whole.
C.It has an immediate effect                  
D.It helps improve people's lives.
26.The acupuncture course the author took wasA.
A.time-consuming and challenging        
B.learner-centered and effective
C.difficult but interesting                      
D.painful but helpful
27.What do the underlined words"other people"in the last paragraph refer to?B
A.Other acupuncturists
