This morning I awoke from a wonderful night’s sleep. One of those completely satisfying sleep—difficult to explain, but if you’ve ever had one you’ll know what I’m 36 about.
No amount of 37 could buy a better night’s sleep. I truly 38 my blessed rest. It was like a gift from heaven. Interesting to think that Bill Gates or any 39 billionaire you can 40 really couldn’t have had a more satisfying, fulfilling night of sleep.
That started me thinking of other 41 that cost nothing or very little.Like a drink of cold water on a 42 day.Or a warm relaxing 43 when you’re tired.
What could be better than 44 to your favorite music or watching good movies? These are 45 delights—small pleasures.I hope this doesn’t 46 too silly in today’s rough,loud world.I wonder if the new generation can appreciate some such things.
We’re told we 47 the latest model car, or TV or computer to be happy,but it’s all a trick, a marketing move.No sooner do we get these things, 48 we’re looking to replace them 49 a newer car, or TV or computer.
This is not to say that money isn"t important. Money can help 50 , clothes and house those in need.Money is neither all good nor all bad—it’s just a 51 of life that can be used for good things or abused(滥用).
I suppose having 52 money worries can give a certain peace of mind that 53 a person to have a good night’s rest. But no amount of money can 54 buy that wonderful, particularly restful night’s sleep that I 55 last night.

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform.
What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity(职业身份) than to step out of uniform?
Primary among the argument against uniforms in their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think ,speak, and act similarly on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes, Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain , requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with types of civilian clothes.
60 People are likely to think that a man in uniform_________.
A. suggests quality work
B. shows his social position
C. appears to be more practical
D. looks more fresh and attractive

A. are usually helpful B. have little freedom
C. lose personal character D. enjoy greater popularity
62 It can be concluded from the passage that_________.
A. people generally trust a person in uniform
B.people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform
C.the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people
D.people wear uniforms to show their professions
63 The underlined sentence tells us that_________.
A. it’s impossible that people can be recognized more easily by their uniforms
B.people’s identity can be recognized more easily by their uniforms
C.nurses and policemen must wear uniforms when working
D.people in those professions act in an easier way without uniforms

WASHINGTON (AP) — A chemical has caused a global food safety scare. In the U.S., White Rabbit candies from China were recalled(召回) after melamine(三聚氰胺) was found in California and Connecticut. Melamine levels in imported Chinese candies recalled in California were as high as 520 parts per million, about 200 times greater than the level set on Friday by the FDA (The Food and Drug Administration) for "acceptable" risk.
And Friday, a New Jersey company announced it was recalling a yogurt-type drink from China, Blue Cat Flavor Drink, after FDA testing found melamine.
No illnesses have been reported in the U.S., but experts are checking for any increase in reports of heath problems.
The FDA says baby formula(配方) sold here is safe, because producers do not use any materials from China. But officials expect more melamine recalls as they continue to test products in ethnic(少数民族) markets.
“However, tiny amounts of melamine, are not harmful in most foods, except baby formula,” said U.S. government experts Friday.
The FDA said Friday its safety experts had concluded that eating a minuscule amount of melamine — 2.5 parts per million — would not raise health problems, even if a person ate food every day that was infected with the chemical.
“It would be like if you had a million grains of sand and they were all white, and you had two or three that were black, that"s kind of the level,” said Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA’s food safety program.
The FDA guideline is meant to help federal and state investigators(调查员) check for infected foods from China at ports(港口) of entry and in Asian community shops around the country. “We are trying to recognize products that have levels we are really concerned(worried) about, rather than trying to find the last molecule,” said Sundlof.
67. The underlined word “minuscule” in Paragraph 6 means __________.
A. very small B. acceptable C. worried D. large
68. According to FDA, people in America needn’t be worried if _________.
A. food is infected with melamine below a level of 2.5 parts per million
B. baby formula contains no melamine
C. they buy candies for babies produced locally
D. foods imported from China are recalled
69. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. America won’t import foods from China any more
B. America is still importing foods from China
C. manufactures do not use any ingredients from China for baby formula
D. all foods imported from China contain melamine
70. The passage is probably found in _________ section on the Internet.
A. News Reports B. International Trade
C. Science and Life D. Food and Health
