     Look closely at the palms of your hands and fingertips. See all the tiny lines? Each of us is born with a
unique set of prints, but it may surprise you to learn why we have them. Palm lines are not for fortune-tellers
to figure out how long we will live, nor are fingerprints there to make a policeman's job easier. In fact, the
lines and circles that decorate our hands and feet are an evolutionary gift from nature, and they serve two
important functions.
      Our prints are made of raised and lowered skin. The raised areas function somewhat like the tread (纹)
of car tires or the rubber soles (胶底) of our running shoes. When we touch something that is wet, water
moves from these "hills" into the "valleys", which means some surfaces on our skin remain relatively dry.
This is useful, for it allows us to better grip the things we want to hold.
     Our prints help us hold on, but they also have a secondary function: protection. The raised areas serve
as buffers (缓冲物) between our skin and an object, keeping us from getting hurt every time we grip the
hard surface of a bottle or a baseball bat. This is the same reason why, when we walk too far or wear
uncomfortable shoes, we get blisters on the soft skin of our ankles, but never on our heels, like our palms
and fingers, which have prints to protect them.
      It is the random (任意的) flow of fluids inside our mothers' wombs that causes these useful patterns
to form on the surface of our hands and feet. Because they are formed randomly, each person's prints are
unique, which makes prints accidentally useful as a means of distinguishing between people. Even identical
twins have different prints, which means that no mistakes can be made in determining who did a crime,
provided fingerprints or toe prints were left at the scene.
1. Where can't you find the tiny lines ____?
A. Palms
B. Fingerprints
C. Heels
D. Ankles.
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The tiny lines are the results of evolution.
B. From one's fingerprints, we can guess his character.
C. Different people have different prints in their fingertips.
D. The prints play an important role in our life.
3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Fingertips can help us hold on to things better.
B. There are no prints on our heels.
C. The prints can make our palm dry.
D. Prints can protect us from getting hurt.

Which do you think is the best way to keep healthy?
With the development of the society, people no longer worry about where their next meal comes from as they did in the old days. They become more and more concerned about their health problem. Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology(心理).
According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally(精神上) ill. They feel the burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can’t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness. They need to release their spirit to the nature.
Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Joining in some keep-fit clubs or attending some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot.
As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living.
Keep a good quality of mind, or keep a sense of humour, even if you are 80, and you’ll never be old.

“A child in the street is a child that has been exposed(暴露)to a lot of bad things. And this child has no love at all. This child has no respect(尊重)for himself or herself. He sees everybody as an enemy, and he can’t trust anyone.”
Who is Moses Zulu talking about? Are there even people who live like that? Sadly, in truth, there are. They happen to be the Zambian children that Moses Zulu helps to improve their lives. Zulu does his best to give many children the hope to live even though they might have AIDS. Without his continuous work through his organization called Children’s Town, many Zambian children would have been forced to survive(生存)in an African city by getting a job as a street vendor(街头小贩), or hurting other people.
In 1990, Moses Zulu founded Children’s Town in Zambia, where one million children have no parents, largely because of AIDS. Children’s Town teaches children the basic life skills needed for their future. Each child goes through a five-year training program where they’re taught responsibility(责任), values, and self-care. Zulu’s Children’s Town provides hope for less fortunate children.
As we all know, a hero is any person who is respected for their qualities and achievements. There are not many people who are willing to help others in need. Zulu’s contribution to today’s modern society teaches us to lend a helping hand to others who are not as lucky as we are. He teaches us to make a difference in the world by helping others.
And from now on, if ever you throw away your banana just because it looks bad, well, remember that a group of people suffering from AIDS, homelessness, or other causes, would fight each other just to get their hands on a single bad banana.
68. 【小题1】 Which of the following CANNOT describe Moses Zulu according to the passage?

A.DevotedB.Easy-going

69. 【小题2】In Children’s Town, children will learn ______.
