I will never forget that Tuesday afternoon in the doctor's office. I had been feeling sick for a long time and my mum had taken me to hospital to have me 36  . Two weeks ago, Dr Richards asked me a great many questions and took 37  of my blood. Now, he was looking at mum and me across his desk and there was a sad look in his eyes. I knew that the news was bad. Dr Richards told me that the test results showed that I was suffering from a 38` disease. "It is cancer," he said.39  I did not know much about cancer then, but I had heard that it was an 40  disease. Hearing it,mum held my hand,crying and I41that my life was going to end.

        The next year was 42 and difficult for me and my family. Like many people with cancer, I had to be 43with radiation followed by treatment with chemicals. The treatment made me sick. Very sick. There were days when I wished that I were dead so that I would not have to feel so sick. My family and friends were wonderful. They helped me find the44  I needed to recover and they kept me from feeling sad and 45 . The treatment was successful and I was able to go home after exactly fourteen months, two days and six hours in hospital.

      Two years have passed and my46  has not yet ended. 47  , I now feel as if that was when my life really began. I plan to live    it for a long, long time. Now, the cancer in my body has been 49 for the moment, but  I   50       that I will never be completely free from it and  my      51   against it will never end.

I now52   my cancer as a gift.It taught me an important 53  about life. Living with cancer has made me realise how precious life is and how important it is for us to 54every chance to live life to the fullest. Every day is a new opportunity, and I have learnt to 55 every minute of each day.

Sitting in a dark movie theater with your friends. and a tub of popcorn (H^) sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday night, and it could be, if you are willing to share your popcorn with the entire row of moviegoers around you.

A review of movie-theater popcorn reveals an alarming amount of fat, salt and calories in even the smallest sizes. A large tub of popcorn at Regal Cinemas, for example, holds 20 cups of popcorn and has 1,200 calories, 980 milligrams of sodium (鈉) and 60 grams of saturated (飽和的) fat. Adding just a tablespoon of butter adds 130 calories. And do not forget that it comes with free refills.

Not so hungry? The medium size popcorn, even the small, at 11 cups, delivers 670 calories, 550 milligrams of sodium .and 24 grams of saturated fat. The findings may surprise those who believe it is a relatively healthy snack. In fact, plain air-popped popcorn is low in calories and free of saturated fat. Movie theater popcorn, however, is popped in oil, often coconut oil, which is 90 percent saturated fat. Add salt to it, and your once-healthy snack turns into a health offender.

One way to make your popcorn healthier? Ask the theater to pop the corn without salt. The best way to make your movie snack healthier, however, would be to skip the popcorn.

"You could share a tub of popcorn with 10 friends," Dr. Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, said. "Or, what a concept, watch the movie without eating anything."

64. The review finds that movie theatre popcorn may contain all the following EXCEPT ______.

A. butter           B. sodium                 C. saturated fat         D. pepper

65. What does the author think of popcorn prepared in coconut oil?

A. It is a healthy snack.                         B. It does harm to our health.               C. It looks like a perfect choice.                        D. It is very nutritious.

66. Which kind of popcorn causes the least health concern?

A. Movie theatre popcorn.                                 B. Popcorn sold at Regal Cinemas.          C. Large size popcorn.                                         D. Plain air-popped popcorn.

67. What is Dr. Nestle's suggestion to moviegoers?

A. Avoid eating popcorn.                                  B. Share popcorn with friends.              C. Not eating anything in the movie theatre.        D. Try eating other kind of food.

  Most young architects—particularly those in big cities— can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his parter, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts film in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生銹的)walls.

In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(排除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there— the walls, the rust, the light.” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(裝置) in there—a slow-motion show.”

Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(緩沖) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.

Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.

68. According to the passage, it is _______ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.

       A. easy           B. unnecessary      C. unrealistic      D. common

69. Yocum bought the old building because _____.

      A. it was a bargain to him

      B. it was still in good condition

      C. it was located in the city center

      D. it looked attractive from the outside

70. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell _____.

      A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof

      B. turned more old buildings into art galleries

      C. got inspiration from decorating their old building

      D. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery

71. The main idea of the passage is that ______.

      A. people can learn a lot from their failures.

      B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building

      C. people should not judge things by their appearance

      D. creative people can make the best of what they have
