When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation on his desk. It was from some of his classmates asking him to join in their camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to take part in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now？ Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight（重量）, and this gave the children something more to make fun of him.Cindy, who was standing near Paul when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick had worked.

They have saved parents more than 368,000 in petrol(汽油) costs in the last three weeks by cycling a million miles to school.The journeys were made as part of Sustrans Big Pedalthe UKs biggest school cycling competition, started by the worlds top cyclist, Mark. More than 1,000 schools around the country took part. With petrol price rising(上涨), families in the UK are looking for ways to make the cost less in petrol. The Big Pedal shows just how easy it is to leave the car at home and use bike for short journeys like the school run.More than a quarter of a million children have shown how choosing two wheels instead of four can help families save money. If children keep cycling to school all the year round, families in the UK can save themselves nearly 3 million in petrol costs.According to Matt, director for the East Midlands, cycling not only helps families save on petrol costs, but also improves a childs performances at school. Actually, cycling is good for kids. “ By cycling to school, we become healthier, smarter and better learners.” a student called Tommy said confidently. “Its great to see more people cycling, and I always smile when I see a child on a bike. Many kids want to cycle, so we should make it easy and safe for them to get around by bike and keep healthy.” Mark said.In order to encourage more schools to take part in the cycling competition, Joseph from Sustrans.org.uk mentioned that prizes would be offered （提供）. Schools can choose any six weeks in the year to take part in the competition (or longer if they wish).56. began Sustrans Big Pedal in the UK.A. Mark B. Matt C. Tommy D. Joseph57.

Sustrans Big Pedal lasts three weeks every year.60. The passage is probably in the part of a newspaper. A. sports and health B. food and cooking C. fashion and shopping. D. culture and communicationDMany people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they dont want to lose customers（顾客）.However, according to scientific research（研究）, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure（气压）reduces one third of the sensibility of our taste buds（味蕾）. So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses dont know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they cant deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.61. In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means _.A. passengers stay long in the plane B. food on the plane tastes badC. passengers have no food to eat D. food on the plane is expensive62. What do airlines do to solve this problem?A. Get more customers. B. Offer more food.C. Improve their food. D. Reduce the ticket price.63. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds. A. half B. one third C. one fourth D. one fifth64. Why do scientists feel it hard to make food on the plane taste good?A. The volunteers dont know about food taste.B. The volunteers dont understand them.C. They cant find enough volunteers.D. They cant deal with the special environment successfully.65. What is the best title of the passage?A. Taste of Airplane Food B. Airplane TravelC. Scientific Research on Noses D.
