3．Italians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day，an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures．
"Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives，"said Bruno Contigiani，the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association．Contigiani，62，a one-time high-powered manager，is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world．He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace，and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle．
    Contigiani's association suggests"14 commandments （誡條）"for living better，such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing．Others include walking whenever possible，and reading in the evenings instead of watching television．
     This year，Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai，one of the fastest moving cities in the world．The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire aftemoon，inviting people to"slow down"．"Among the"14  commandments'，the one  about waking up five minutes  earlier was the most popular by far，"Contigiani said．
     Back in Italy，the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities，such as reminding people to  stop and  smell  the roses．In central  Milan：you  would probably be fined  if you walk  too fast．In parks and public spaces，free yoga and Tai Chi （太極拳） lessons are important parts of the events．
     Italian farmers'union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals，a habit connected to rising levels of obesity．Therefore，the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular．
     World Slow Day is by now an  intemational event．A  total of 90"Slow Cities"in  11 countries inspired by the"live well"philosophy are supporting the day．

11．Now many people strive to be a follower of the LOHAS movement．LOHAS means"lifestyles of health and sustainability．"This term was coined in 2000by two American scholars．
Lohasians believe in leading a healthy lifestyle that is actively involved in preserving the earth's environment and resources．According to Lohasians，respect for one'own mental and physical health should exist in parallel with care for the earth's ecology．They believe their actions，in this way，can have a positive effect on our global environment，and might be able to minimize the negative effects of people's mindless and selfish consumption．
Take organic foods for example．Lohasians prefer them，not only because they are chemical-free and good for the human body，but also because they are cultivated using natural fertilizers，which do not harm the soil．Even more Lohasians turn to locally grown produce，the transportation of which consumes far less than that of imported goods．As global warming has become a universal concern，Lohasians are anxious to find ways to cut down on energy consumption．
Indeed，Lohasians are always considering the long-term impact of their behavior on the planet．As more consumers are adopting LOHAS values，this growing trend has dawned on the corporate world and they begin to practice responsible capitalism，which means providing goods and services using environmentally friendly and economically sustainable business practices．For instance，Coca-Cola's efforts in the area of sustainable packaging focus mainly on"using and reduce its impact on the environment．As a result，the company saved 89，000metric tons of glass in 2007alone，and，therefore，reduced carbon dioxide emissions to a level equivalent to that of the planting of more than 13，000acres of trees．
Clearly，LOHAS values have become a significant trend in the world today．Individual or corporate"cultural creative"are promoting these values by challenging old traditions and habits，and building new lifestyles．Although whether these practices will bring immediate confident that these practices will bring immediate benefits to the environment and the health of people today remains unknown，Lohasians are confident that these practices will benefit their children and future generations．All individuals should evolve into Lohasians and take action to save the planet，before it is too late．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS．）

78．Lohasians are convinced that through their responsible actions，The negative effects of people's mindless and selfishc onsumption might be reduced to a minimum．
79．Why is locally grown produce favoured by Lohasians？Because they use chemical-free and good for the human body，using natural fertilizers
80．Consumers'growing trend of LOHAS values has inspired companies toprovide goods and services using environmentally friendly．
81．In terms of their practices，Lohasians are not sure ofwhether these practices will bring immediate benefits to the environment and the health of people．

Why are Americans so crazy about American football？Well，it is more exciting than other sports．One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute，which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown（觸地得分）．Then that team may win the game unexpectedly．
The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show．The football field is turned into a stage．Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs．
Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America，commercial airtime is also very expensive．Big money is also spent on commercials．They draw the viewers'attention and advertise their image or products during the commercial break．
After football season，the"March Madness"begins．The NCAA （National Collegiate Athletic Association） competitions begin with 68men's college basketball teams．They play until the field is reduced to the"Final Four"．The winning team becomes the national champion．The NBA （National Basketball Association） All-Star game is also held in February．The best players from all the teams play in this game．
Baseball is no doubt American's national sport．From grandpas to young kids，whole families go to ball games together．They wear their favorite team's caps or even carry their mascot（吉祥物）．Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D．C．once．We ate hot dogs，waved flags and sang during the 7th inning（棒球的一局） stretch．
If you are not a sports fan yet，come and pick a sport or a team．Go to a ball game with your family，and cheer your team on．Sports are definitely a part of American culture one should not miss．

Cars，smart-phones，tablet computers and PCs also made news．And a 27-inch table computer drew quite a bit of attention．

15．A failed plot to kill Barack Obama，uncovered by US federal agents recently，has reminded people of the ideas that some humans associate with simple numbers．
Two white American Neo-Nazi racists （新納粹種族主義者） had planned to kill 88African Americans，before finally assassinating （暗殺） Obama．The number"88"is equated with"HH"，initials （首字母） for the Nazi greeting，"Heil Hitler"．"H"is the eighth letter of the alphabet．
Many people were not familiar with the Neo-Nazi importance of 88，but associations attached to other numbers are more well-known，if not always believed．The number 13，for instance，is considered deeply unlucky．
In the US，many buildings do not have a floor numbered 13．They instead label it 12A，or use the letter M，which is the 13th letter in the English alphabet．New York's John F．Kennedy International airport does not have a gate number 13．And the popular Irish flight carrier，Ryan Air，has banished （摒棄） row 13from all its planes．
Last year when Brussels Airline put 13dots in their new logo，the flood of complaints was so vast the airline was forced to change their"unlucky logo"and add an additional dot．
The fear comes from a Bible story，which states that Judas Iscariot，the disciple （門(mén)徒） who betrayed （出賣(mài)） Jesus，was the 13th to sit at the table in the Last Supper．
But the most fascinating fear of the number relates to Friday the 13th．It's a day of double bad luck．In the US，many people would not schedule a wedding for Friday the 13th．According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in the US，an estimated 17to 21million Americans are affected by a fear of this day．

51．From the first two paragraphs，we can know thatC．
A．a(chǎn) lot of Americans want to kill Barack Obama
B．the number 88is equated with 13
C．there are still racists in the US
D．the two white Americans had killed 88African Americans before killing Barack Obama
52．When you go aboard the Ryan Air，you will probably find thatD．
A．row 13is replaced with 12A
B．there is no gate 13
C．passengers complain that there is 13dots on its logo
D．none of their planes have row 13
53．If you are in the US，you will probably notA．
A．live on the 13th floor   B．a(chǎn)ttend a wedding on Saturday the 14th
C．see a floor numbered 3   D．have an M floor
54．From the passage，we can know that the Brussels AirlineB．
A．doesn't have row 13                B．has 14dots on its logo
C．has no flight take off on Fridays   D．was once stuck in a flood
55．From the last paragraph but one，we can learn thatD．
