Section A
No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess of Windsor indicates much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is ___41___ such a virtue.
The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I mylf have dreams of slipping into narrow designer clothes. ___42___, I have been on a diet for the better-or wor-p
art of my life. Being rich wouldn't be bad either, but that won't happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, ___43___ me millions of dollars.
Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity's ven deadly sins. ___44___, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a ___45___ of high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
Today the ___46___ is true. We have ___47___ to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat –or even only somewhat overweight-is bad becau it implies a ___48___ of moral strength.
Our obssion with thinness is also ___49___ by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more ___50___ people than ever before, and that, in many cas, being overweight correlates with an incread risk of heart and blood vesl dia. The ___51___, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem--too much fat and a lack of fiber--than a weight problem.
The real ___52___, then, is not what we weight too much, but that we neither exerci enough nor eat well. ___53___ is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many dias. We should surely stop paying so much attention to ___54___. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually
hazardous if tho who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus ___55___ paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vain glory.

Section B
(A)
How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourlves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
Most fashion magazines or TV advertiments try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment.
Changing fashion, of cour, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he ud to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertirs show us the latest fashionable styles and we arc constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in ca our friends think we arc odd or dull. What caus fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. The late President Kennedy caud a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example. There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After Wor ld War Ⅱ, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.
Today, society is much freer and easier than it ud to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone el. Within
reason, you can dress as you tike or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should becau it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the "untidy" look ems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion hous.
At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choo our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night clubs.
However, you need never feel depresd if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll e that no one el does either!

Google must be the most ambitious company in the world. Its stated goal, "to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and uful," deliberately omits the word "web" to indicate that the company is reaching for absolutely all information everywhere and in every form. From books to health records and videos, from your friendships to your click patterns and physical location, Google wants to know. To some people this sounds uplifting, with promis of
free access to knowledge and help in managing our daily lives. To others, it is somewhat like another Big Brother, no less frightening than its totalitarian(极权主义的)ancestors for being in the private information.
Randall Stross, a journalist at the New York Times, does a good job of analyzing this unbounded ambition in his book "Planet Google". One chapter is about the huge data centers that Google is building with a view to storing all that information, another about the ts of rules at the heart of its web arch and advertising technology, another about its approach to information bound in books, its vision for geographical information and so forth. He is at his best when explaining how Google’s mission casually but fatally smashes into long-existing institutions such as, say, copyright law or privacy norms.
And yet, it’s puzzling that he mostly omits the most fascinating component of Google, its people. Google is what it is becau of its two founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who e themlves as kindly elites and embody the limitless optimism about science, technology and human nature that is native to Silicon Valley. The world is perfectible, and they are the ones who will do much of the perfecting, provided you let them.
Brin and Page t out to create a company and an entire culture in their image. From the start, they profesd that they would innovate as much in managing—rewarding, feeding, motivating, entertaining and even transporting (via Wi-Fi-enabled free shuttle bus) their employees—as they do in internet technolog y. In reality Google’s are as prone to power struggle and office politics as anyone el.
None of that makes it into Mr. Stross’ account, which at times reads like a diligent summary of news articles. At tho moments, "Planet Google" takes a risk similar to trying to board a speeding train: the Google story changes so fast that no book can stay up to date for long. Even so, a sober description of this moment in Google’s quest is welcome. Especially since Google fully expects, as its chief executive, Eric Schmidt, says at the end of the book, to take 300 years completing it.
63.By describing Google as a Big Brother, people think that Google ____.
A.is a pioneer in IT industry
B.is an invader of privacy
C.breaks its promi of free access
D.overestimates its own influence
64.According to Randall Stross, Google’s influence on copyright law or privacy norm is _____.
B.unprecedented
帝尧C.long-lasting
D.unintentional
65.What do we know about the Google employees in esnce?
A.They compete against each other in the office.
B.They are hard-working and talented.
C.They appreciate the managing techniques.
D.They feel encouraged by the company’s benefits.
66.What does the author imply by saying“Planet Google”takes a risk similar to trying to board a speeding train?
A.Planet Google will be in danger if it stays up to date for long.
B.Planet Google have to take 300 years to catch the speeding train.
C.The board of Google welcomes Randall Stross to cover Google story.
D. A written book can only cover a little part of the on-going technology.
