       Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101．Mr John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest – fach, near Swansea．But, when British Rail offered him an all – expense – paid birthday treat to the capital he just could not refuse．

       He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole．“It’s very exciting．There’s no doubt about it,” he said．

       Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen．“But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked．

       Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century．“There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea – too much I thought．All my money went to the family then,” he said．

       During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights．Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr Gareth Wardell．

       The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired．“I don’t like the chair – people will think I am getting old,” he said．His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no wine, no tobacco and no anger．

       Before setting off from Swansea with his 76 – year – old son, Amwell, he said jokingly, “I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket．”

1.The very reason that Mr．Evans didn’t go to see the world is that                ．

       A．he had already been on the seas to Ilfracombe

       B．he was too busy to go too far away from home

       C．he couldn’t afford both the time and the money

       D．he believed “East or west, home is the best”

2.Mr Evans didn’t like the wheelchair simply because                 ．

       A．he was not used to traveling in it

       B．the wheelchair was of poor quality and not easy to operate

       C．he actually preferred walking to sitting in it at home

       D．he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip

       B．his hard working for the family

       C．his sticking to his hometown                

       D．his living conditions near the Swansea

       Not all memories are sweet．Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences．Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars．Often they relive these experiences．

       Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories．The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience．They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories．

       In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France．The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain．So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased．

       The research has caused a great deal of argument．Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it．Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldier’ troubling memories after war．

       They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories．“Some memories can ruin people’s lives．They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare．They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry（精神病学）at Harvard Medical School．“This could relieve a lot of that suffering．”

       But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity（特性）．They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past．“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are．I’m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist（伦理学家）．

       Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common．“People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher．“All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories．”

1.What’s the main idea of this passage?

       A．People often suffer from bad memories．

       B．American researchers are trying to develop a pill．

       C．Forget bad memories, and be happy．

       D．The research has caused a heated argument．

2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “               ”．

       C．The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories．

       D．The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war．

4.Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the opponents（反对者）？

       A．Our memories give us our identity．

       B．The memories help human avoid mistakes of the past．

       C．The drug should be used in only very serious cases．

       D．People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out．

       According to some talk, the younger generation in Smithville is the most antisocial in history．This seems far from the truth．Young people today as a whole are better, more informed, more ambitious, healthier, and more smart than ever before．Why then, it may be asked, do we see such restlessness and such antisocial behavior among our young people?

       For the answer the citizens of this community must look at themselves．What have they done to the grounds that have been built in the last fifteen years? How many swimming pools are there? How many vocational training projects have been started? How many community – organized youth parties and picnics have been held?

       The average citizen will answer that the responsibility for these activities belongs to the schools．But the schools cannot be held responsible for all the free – time activities of all the young people of this community．The job of the schools is formal education, not free – time recreation（娱乐）．

       This community needs a youth center suitable for such activities as picnics, camping, sports, music, art and so on．There should be social and recreational activities to meet the needs and interests of every member of our school age youth．

       Mayor ElmoD．Greely has proposed the formation of a Youth Club as the first step in the direction of a Youth Center．Mayor Greely has called a meeting at the City Hall on Friday, August 15, at noon．

       Giving up a lunch hour is a very little sacrifice for a project that can be of great importance to this community．

       This newspaper urges every adult and young person of Smithville to attend this important meeting．We believe our industrial, business, and professional leaders have an especially strong duty to be present．

This newspaper will be present and intends to support this project with vigor．

1.The underlined word “antisocial” probably means “           ”．

       A．opposed to an orderly society or way of life                       

       B．promising

       C．suitable to present society               

       D．having a lot of social experience

2.What does the writer think of the sentence “The younger generation in Smithville is the most antisocial in history．”?

       A．He thinks it is true．                            B．He thinks it is not true．

       C．He thinks it is partially true．                D．He thinks it is nonsense．

3.The main idea of Paragraphs 2 and 3 is                 ．

       A．to give us lots of questions to show that problem is serious．

       B．that school should hold the responsibility for education rather than free – time recreation．

       C．to analyze the reasons why the youth are antisocial．

       D．that we should take more activities or start many vocational projects．

       Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations．They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago．1.

       The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly．Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses．  2.So they are called "diseases of civilization"．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases．

       Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none． 3.However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today．

       Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones．They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits．They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains． 4.We eat six times more salt than our ancestors．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C．

5.But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food．

       A．Stone Age people lived a simple life．

       B．But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these．

       C．In that case, they would live much healthier．

       D．Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise．

       E．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times．

       F．People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors．

       G．Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization"．
