A?

Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.?

Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.?

So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes (基因) from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.?

A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I’m still alive!

56.How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age? ?

A. She is miserable and unhappy.?

B. She is cheerful and humorous. ?

C. She would like to live much longer.?

D. She feels she is going to die very soon. ?

57.We can owe Jeanne Calment’s good health and long life to _____.?

A. smoking only a little every day?

B. her giving up smoking and drinking?

C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day?

D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises ?

58.Which of the following word could best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph??

A. deal       B. trick        C. march        D. sport

59.Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I'm still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday??

A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage. ? B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed. ?

C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.?

D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already paid.

I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.

The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity's appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children's books, all 10 or 20 pence each.

Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don't encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.

The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding（资助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.

69. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _______.

   A. its convenient location             B. its great variety of goods

   C. its spirit of goodwill              D. its nice shopping environment

70. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ____.

   A. sell cheap products               B. deal with unwanted things

   C. raise money for patients           D. help a foreign country

71. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?

   A. The operating costs are very low.

   B. The staff are usually well paid.

   C. 90% of the donations are second-hand.

   D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.

72. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

   A. What to Buy a Charity Shops.

   B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.

   C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.

   D. The Public's Concern about Charity Shops.
