D
Word came on Friday that U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, and he would join the ranks of history's great persons as the newest Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The Nobel prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who bought the greatest benefit to mankind during the previous year.” Quite a lot of people have been awarded the prize, such as Mother Theresa, Ghandi, FDR …
On Oct. 9, Friday, Obama said that he was surprised to learn that he won the Nobel Peace Prize of 2009, which he saw as a “call for action.” Speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden of the White House, he said he was “both surprised and deeply humbled” to accept the award and didn't view it as recognition of his own accomplishments. He also said he would travel to Oslo to accept the prize on Dec. 10.
Rather, the prize should be regarded as recognition of the goals he set for the United States and the world. “I will accept this award as a call for action, a call for all nations to face up to the common challenges of the 21st century,” Obama said, “the challenges, including nuclear nonproliferation(防止核扩散), fighting against climate change and energy crisis, can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. That is why I have been working to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek.” he said.
Obama is the fourth U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the third sitting president to do so. “The president will donate the entire $1.4 million prize to charity,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, “but hasn't decided yet which organizations will share the windfall”
Reactions to his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize are mixed both in and out of the United States. Some like former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2002, said Obama's award is “a bold statement of international support for his vision and commitment to peace and harmony in international relations.” However, Former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the prize in 1983, questioned whether Obama deserved it now. And U.S. Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele remarked that Obama won the prize as a result of his star power rather than meaningful accomplishments and the real question Americans were asking was what he has actually accomplished. “So soon and too early. He has done nothing but joy ride and give teleprompter (讲词提示机) speeches so far. He is still at an early stage. He is only beginning to act,” said Walesa, a netizen.

A. the third president alive. B. the third president in power.
C. the third president who loves peace. D. the third president who donates the prize.

A. Obama considered that he did deserve the prize.
B. Obama hadn’t expected that he would win the prize.
C. Obama felt that the prize was a call for him to do more.
D. Obama regarded the prize as recognition of what he had done.

C
A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring(后代) are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory(监管的) barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned cattle, pigs and goats.
The 968-page final report, not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that food from clones may have hidden risks.
But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw(原始的) data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.
The report also admits that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.
“Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,” the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is “exactly a science-based evaluation.” It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those subjects.
In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill for meat or milk. Instead, the expensive animals—replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born—will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.
When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.
64. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. FDA has waited for a long time to get this final report.
B. Products from cloned animals have been put into the market before.
C. People are having the products from cloned animals safely.
D. There have been once opposite opinions against cloned products.
65. What does the underlined word “wary” mean?
A. Disappointed. B. Careful. C. Fond. D. Proud.
66. It will be a few years before foods from clones come into the market, partly because _____.
A. people have little knowledge of the cloned animals
B. supporters can’t give powerful evidence to support that
C. the few cloned animals will first be used to create superior animals
D. they are a new generation for the customers and are too valuable for the customers
67. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. FDA officials encourage people to eat more food from clones.
B. FDA officials think the food from clones will sell better than ordinary food.
C. People only worry about the health problems when it comes to foods from the clones.
D. All the foods will not have detailed labels on them.

C
A man from Sri Lanka on Friday broke the Guinness world record for the longest time spent watching TV. He finished with 69 hours and 48 minutes.
Suresh Joachim did his TV viewing in the lobby (门厅) of WABC-TV as part of the “Guinness World Record Breaker Week ” on the TV talk show “Live With Regis and Kelly”.
After passing the previous record of 50 hours and 7 minutes Thursday, Joachim continued until about 7 am Friday.
Sitting on a brown leather couch, he watched nothing but ABC shows.
“I’m going to be a little tired of watching TV after this,” Joachim told reporters by phone during a brief break.
Rules of Guinness for the couch potato honor, allow for a five-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every eight hours. The viewer must be constantly looking at the screen.
The hardest part, Joachim said on Live With Regis and Kelly, was “I couldn’t watch the people” — the many waving passers-by on the street outside the ABC studio.
Joachim, who lives in Toronto but comes from Sri Lanka, now holds more than 16 Guinness records, including the longest duration (持续) balancing on one foot (76 hours, 40 minutes) and bowling for 100 hours. He does it, he says, to raise awareness of suffering children.
64. Which paragraph shows the main idea of the passage?
A. The first paragraph. B. The last paragraph.
C. The second paragraph. D. The sixth paragraph.
65. How long had Joachim spent when the new “couch potato” record was made?
A. Half a week. B. Less than two days.
C. 76 hours, 40 minutes. D. Nearly three days.
66. Which of the following phrases can replace the underlined word “constantly”?
A. All the time. B. At times. C. Some time. D. Once upon a time.
67. What’s the biggest pity for Joachim when he did his TV viewing?
A. That Joachim could eat nothing.
B. That Joachim couldn’t watch the people outside.
C. That Joachim felt very tired.
D. That Joachim didn’t have any time for a break.

A 17-year-old boy, caught sending text messages in class, was recently sent to the vice principal's office．The vice principal, Steve Gallagher, told the boy he needed to focus on the teach- er, not his cellphone．The boy listened politely and nodded, and that's when Mr．Gallagher noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap．He was texting while being scolded for texting．"It was a subconscious act," says Mr．Gallagher, who took the phone away．"Young people today are con-nected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the moming until they close their eyes at night． It's compulsive．"
A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga．, found that the more time young people spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits． Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable, but they are alsomore likely to be anxious, hostile or depressed．
Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day, according to a2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group that monitors media's impact on families．Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force, or will employers cometo see texting and 'social-network checking' as accepted parts of the workday? Think bac．k．Whentoday's older workers were in their 20s, they might have taken a break on the job to call friends andmake after-work plans．In those earlier eras, companies discouraged non-business-related calls, and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired． It was impossible to imagine the con-stant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today．Educators are alsobeing asked by parents, students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules．"In past gen-erations, students got in trouble for passing notes in class．Now students are good at texting withtheir phones stiU in their pockets," says 40-year-old Mr．Gallagher, the vice principal, ”and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over．Students are just fun-amentally different today．They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones．"
