Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe. In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait(海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.

They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines, men were dying of starvation. While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.

64. The purpose of Magellan’s expedition was to ________.

A. sail round the world B.find a seaway from the Atlantic to the Pacific C. make a voyage to Asia D. carry men to Philippines

Surgery(外科,手术) that can improve the way a person looks is being more and more popular in the United Stated. This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery (整形手术), and both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to face-lifts, liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting man-made parts into their bodies) to help them look younger. As companies downsize and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job.

These operations are not without dangers, however. One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terrible. She said, ―When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he’d given me an injection(注射) near my eyes, I saw everything.”She went on to explain,“I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was removing fat under my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished I felt I couldn’t walk. I was so weak.” Her troubles did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.

Liposuction is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the places where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine is then turned on, and the fat is taken right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps(块) and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not completely done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result.‖ Patients often must have more liposuctions to correct the problem. 68. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Some people want to have cosmetic surgery in order to keep their jobs. B. There are two reasons why people have cosmetic surgery. C. How older employees try to stay on their jobs for more years.

D. A person can win the competition in the job by means of looking young. 69. How many kinds of cosmetic surgeries does the writer mention? A. 5 B. 4 C. 3 D. 2

70. The underlined word ―downsize‖ (in Para. 1) means _______. A. develop branches and employ more labourers B. become smaller in the number of employees C. move downwards to other places D. put an end to business

71. What do we know about liposuction from the passage? A. An unsuccessful liposuction may lead to more operations. B. Most liposuction operations are successful and safe.

C. A liposuction can be lifelong useful for people to stay young. D. A bad liposuction needs more doctors to make it up.

WASHINGTON—Nearly 40 million children in developing countries stand to lose one or both parents to AIDS (艾滋病) over the next 13 years, and almost 3 million children under 15 have caught the disease worldwide, US experts said. ―More than 40 million children in 23 developing nations will likely have lost one or both their parents by 2010. Most of these deaths will be the result of the HIVIAIDS and complicated illnesses,‖ Brian Atwood, a US official said. Meanwhile, since the first reported death of a child by AIDS in Los Angeles 15 years ago, almost 3 million children under 15 are estimated (估计) to have caught the disease worldwide, and at least 1,000 are dying each day.

―In countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America, HIVIAIDS is pulling years of progress in economic and social development,‖ he added.

―Life expectancy(估计寿命) which has been steadily on the rise for the last thirty years will drop to 40 years or less to nine African countries by the year 2020.‖

Atwood said serious work to help stop children from dying in developing countries was being wiped out.

―In all 23 countries included in this study, AIDS related death will take away the gains made in child survival over the past 20 years. In Zambia and Zimbabwe, children's death rates will likely nearly double,‖ Atwood said. 72. AIDS is developing fast in _______ .
