    　　Drinking small amount of hard Japanese rice wine apparently(显然)never hurt 114-year-old Kamato Hongo any．She is now the world’s oldest living person, according to Guinness World Records．

    　　Hongo inherited(继承)the title Monday after the death of the previous record holder, Maud Farris-Luse, of Coldwater, Mich．, the record-keeping company said on its Web site．Farris-Luse was 115 years, 56 days old．

    　　Hongo, born Sept．16, 1887, was raised on a farm and counts drinking Japanese rice wine among her favorite things－along with black salt, pork, sashimi(生鱼片), and green tea, according to Guinness．She also likes traditional Japanese dancing．

    　　“The key is not storing up stress(压力),” said her 45-year-old grandson Tsuyoshi Kurauchi．“If you do that, you can eat or drink anything”．

    　　Hongo mothered seven children, more than 20 grandchildren, and even outlived her eldest daughter, who died two years ago while in her 90s, according to Kurauchi, who described Hongo as a “warm, caring grandmother．”

    　　She lives in a nursing home in Kagoshima, a city about 615 miles southwest of Tokyo on the island of Kyushu, which has reputation for record-breaking longevity among its residents．

    　　Hongo was born in the nearby town of Isen, home to the late Shigechiyo Izumi, who also held the Guinness record as the world’s oldest person．He died in 1986 at the age of 120．

    　　Recently, another Kyushu resident was regarded as the world’s oldest man．Retired silkworm farmer Yukichi Chuganji graduated into the spot Jan．4 with the death of his predecessor, Antonio Todde of Italy．Chuganji turns 113 on Saturday．

    　　There are an estimated 15 000 Japanese over the age of 100, and women make up about 80 percent of the total．

    阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案

    A Letter to the Editor(编辑)

    　　13 October

    　　Dear Editor,

    　　I am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation. I'll give you an example.

    　　Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a. m.．It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats nearest me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.

    　　I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible(负责的) workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this “lost generation”(垮掉的一代).

    　　Franz Johnson.

    Reply to Mr. Johnson's Letter

    　　20 October

    　　Dear Editor,

    　　I read Mr. Johnson's letter about the problems of today's youth with much interest. He described teenagers on a train not giving a seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr. Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry my shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(显然地) not.

    　　“Older” people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr. Johnson must accept that the world is changing and young people change with it. I find today's youth mostly kind and more fun than my generation.

    　　Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the “lost generation”.

    Linda Black.

    1．Which of the following is the correct order of what happened?

    a) Mrs. Black wrote to the news paper.

    b) Mrs. Black got on the train with her daughter.

    c) Mr. Johnson asked the young people to give her seat.

    d) Mr. Johnson thought the young people might follow him.

    e) Mrs. Black took a taxi with her daughter.

    [　　]

    A．b), c), d), e), a)
    B．b), d), e), c), a)
    C．d), b), c), a), e)
    D．e), c), a), d), b)

    2．Mr. Johnson wrote the letter to ________.

    [　　]

    A．ask for help from the newspaper

    B．find the way to solve the problem

    C．show his worry about the young

    D．teach the young people a lesson

    3．In the second letter, Mrs. Black ________.

    [　　]

    A．told another story to support Mr. Johnson

    B．wanted to show her thanks to the young

    C．discussed the youth problem with the old

    D．called for the understanding toward the young

    4．W hat can we learn from the two letters?

    [　　]

    A．Young people enjoy fast food.

    B．People have different opinions about the young.

    C．Older people are more helpful.

    D．People should talk more about the same story.

    阅读下面一篇文章，文章后有五个选项，从A、B、C、D、E和F六个选项中选出五个符合每一段文章主旨大意的选项。

    　　The existence of Santa Claus can be proved in five ways．

    　　The first and most obvious way is ________．It is certain and evident(显然的)to our senses, that in the world some things are Christmas trees．Now no pine tree becomes a Christmas tree unless it is trimmed(修剪)．Now to be trimmed means to receive ornaments(装饰物)from another．But this cannot go on to infinity in the trimming of Christmas trees．One must come to some first untrimmed trimmer; and this everyone understands to be Santa Claus．

    　　The second way is ________．We see that in the world that Christmas gifts are given and received．Whoever, then, gives Christmas gifts either receives them from another or makes them in his workshop．If, however, no one makes Christmas gifts in his workshop, they are not given nor received．Therefore it is necessary to posit(安置) some first giver of Christmas gifts, who everyone calls Santa Claus．

    　　The third way is ________．At all stores we see things of plastic that represent Santa Claus．These things are of such a quality that they are representations according to Santa himself or according to other images of him．But, it is not possible to proceed to infinity in images．Therefore, it is necessary to posit something which is like Santa Claus and hence Santa Claus exists．

    　　The fourth way is ________．Indeed, in this world, among men there are some of more and some of less Christmas spirit．But“more”and“less”is said of diverse things according as they resemble in their diverse ways something which is the“maximum”．Therefore there must be something which has the most Christmas spirit, and this we call Santa Claus．

    　　The fifth way is ________．When Christmas day approaches, we see from their being good always or frequently that children, who lack understanding, are moved because of an end．But children would not be good because of the Nativity of Christ unless there were someone who strengthened them so that they were good．And this someone is known by all to be Santa Claus．

    A．taken from the grades which are found in Christmas spirit

    B．taken from the food people eat at Christmas Day

    C．taken from the nature of Christmas gifts

    D．taken from the behavior of children

    E．taken from Christmas trees

    F．taken from plastic images resembling Santa Claus
