James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His families moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There a schoolteacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.” he replied. She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at the age of 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.[
The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic (运动的) but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African—American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the President of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
65. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when____________.
A. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse” B. his teacher made fun of him
C. he went to Ohio State University D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
66. In the Big Ten meet, Owens_______________.
A. hurt himself in the back B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed D. had to give up some events
67. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the U.S. at that time because he_____________.
A. didn’t shake hands with Hitler B. was the son of a poor farmer
C. was not of the right race D. didn’t talk to the U.S President on the phone
68. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? ks5u
A. Golden Moment — a Lifetime Struggle B. Jesses Owens, a Great American Athlete
C. Making a Living as a Sportsman D. How to Be a Successful Athlete

Today, when a man steps on to the moon, or something new and important happens the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There were only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct.
In 1904 the Wrights built a second machine. They called it “Flyer No. Two”. They invited some reporters to a field near Dayton to watch them fly. Unfortunately, there were some mechanical (机械的)trouble with the plane and it did not fly at all that day. The newspapermen went away. They were disappointed and did not come back. The Wrights went on with their work. In 1905, they built an even better machine, “Flyer No. Three”. They were able to stay upon the air for half an hour and more in the machine. Farmers and travelers on the road around the Dayton often saw tem flying, but when three people told newspapermen about it, they refused to believe them.
The Wrights offered “Flyer No. Three” to the United States government. The government was not interested. They seemed to think the Wrights wanted money in order to build a place. They did not understand the Wrights had already done this, and flown it well. Experts were still saying that mechanical flight was impossible. At the end of 1905 the two brothers took their planes to pieces. The parts were put into a huge wooden box. It seemed nobody was interested.
69. The reporters were disappointed in 1904 because____________.

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my job stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself as the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, or the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find peole you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways, that, if I had had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived. [

The number of Americans with arthritis(关节炎) increased 60% from 1997 to 2008, encompassing over 70 million people. While a complete cure isn’t yet available, some drugs and treatment may help manage the pain symptoms and restore mobility. Now there is a good piece of news that relief for these suffers may be growing on trees.
Kim Adair, who fights a daily battle with arthritis pain, recently found relief in cherries thanks to a Baylor University study. "They have a lot of the same properties that common anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen will have," said rheumatologist John Cush, M.D.
There is another possible benefit of treating pain with cherries. Many patients like the fact that they're natural and might keep them off prescription painkillers, which can have side effects. Kim took cherry extract gelcaps, and said that in about three months she had no pain. When the study was over and Kim stopped taking the gelcaps, and her pain returned. She says she is now seeing benefits from eating cherries and drinking cherry juice.
Doctors say five out of six patients in the study did very well. A larger study is planned.
78. Which of the following is not the possible benefit of treating with cherries?
A. It has no side effects compared with other ways
B. It costs no money at all
C. It has much the same characteristics as some other medicines
D. Patients’ pain will come back over to them if they stop to take cherries
79. Which does the text may come from?
A. a textbook B. the ad. section in a newspaper
C. a medical magazine D. one’s blog on the Internet
80. From the passage, we can infer that_________
A. Arthritis is not difficult to cure.
B. There are too many kinds of arthritis.
C. America has the most patients with arthritis in the world.
D. Treating arthritis with cherries is not the only way to treat the disease.
