In the fifteenth century in Nuremberg ,lived a family with eighteen children .They were so poor that two children ,who wanted to pursue their talent for 41 , knew their father would never be 42 able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
So they tossed(掷)a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger, 43 the toss and went off to Nuremberg .Albert went down into the dangerous 44 and ,for the next four years ,financed his brother , who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his 45 . By the time he graduated ,he was beginning to earn 46 fees by drawing for wealthy people.
When Albrecht returned home, at dinner he drank a 47 to his beloved brother for the years of 48 that had enabled him to fulfill his 49 . He said, "Albert ,my blessed brother ,now it is your 50 to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream ,and I will take care of you."
With tears in his eyes ,Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, "No ,brother. I cannot go . Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my 51 ! The bones in every finger have been 52 at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis(关节炎)so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a 53 to return your toast ,much less make delicate lines with a pen or a brush. No ,brother... for me it is too 54 ."
Deeply moved ,Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother"s 55 hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward .He called his powerful drawing 56 "Hands" , to which the entire world immediately opened their hearts and later they 57 it "The Praying Hands."
The next time you see a copy of that 58 creation, take a second look. Let it be your 59 ,if you still need one ,that no one ever makes it 60 !

The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled.
In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Money Fund.
The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was formed after World War II.
As time went by, it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks-the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round finally give birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property.
Even after seven years of talks and 22, 500 pages of agreements, there were still problems, especially the difficulty to deal with areas of agriculture and services, which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000. The WTO, with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.
36. From the passage we know that the GATT stopped working ________.
A. soon after World War II ended
B. a little more than 50 years after World War II
C. just in the year 1994
D. seven years before the Uruguay Round talk
37. Compared with the GATT, the WTO _______.
A. didn’t pay enough attention to services and intellectual property
B. got its members to sign the agreements more easily
C. has got to many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectively
D. can do better to settle disputes in more areas of international trade
38. In the new century the WTO will ________.
A. take the place of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund
B. have more members and settle more problems
C. make complete new rules in every area of international trade
D. have new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property
As we all know, nature has supplied every animal except man with some covering for his body such as fur, feathers, hair, and shells as a thick hide. But man has nothing but a thin skin.
If someone were to ask you, "Why did human beings start to cover their bodies with clothes?" most would answer, "To keep themselves warm, of course."
It is only when we begin to think about it a little that we realize that clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with our need for warmth at all.
For example, we wear clothes to some degree in order to decorate ourselves-to make ourselves, if possible, look more dignified (尊严) or nicer.
Clothes of a special kind are often worn to show that the wearer has authority or power. The individual wearing them is treated with respect because he occupies a certain office. The judge on the Bench, for example, might look a very ordinary and unimpressive figure without his wig and gown. Clothes are an important part of ceremony, whether it is connected with belief, the law, parliament, and royalty, the fighting forces or the state. How very different the Queen"s Coronation ceremony (加冕仪式) would have looked without the robes, coronets and the cloth of gold.
Sometimes, even in some modern countries people wear some article of clothing, or some jewel, because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness, or because it is connected with their beliefs.
None of these reasons for wearing clothes-to decorate ourselves, to show our position in the world, for ceremonial purposes, for "luck", to give ourselves dignity and authority-have anything to do with our need for warmth.
65.From the passage we know that wearing clothes is man"s basic necessity to________.
A. protect skin B. show beauty C. keep warm D. bring luck
66.According to the passage, the judge wearing special clothes on the Bench________.
A. looks nicer B. looks different C. shows wealth D. shows power
67.Even in modern countries, sometimes people wear certain clothes because________.
A. they believe that they will get protected from bad luck and illness
B. it has something to do with their wealth
C. they want to show their power
D. they enjoy wearing such kind of clothes
68.The author"s purpose in writing this article is to tell us that clothes are worn________.
A. for ceremonial occasionsB. for many other reasons besides warmth
C. to keep people impressive and nicer D. to show people"s authority or power
Liverpool city council want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their normal diet would consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre.
The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons is responsible for the streets being so crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.
Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds-known as "robops"-will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different locations. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.
