9.Papa,as a son of a dirt-poor farmer,left school early and went to work in a factory,for education was for the rich then.So,the world became his school.With great interest,he read everything he could lay his hands on,listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown."There's so much to learn,"he'd say."Though we're born stupid,only the stupid remain that way."He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
Thus,Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day.Though,as children,we thought this was crazy,it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request.And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned.We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly.Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment,always to the point.
Then came the moment-the time to share the day's new learning.
Papa,at the head of the table,would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine,ready to listen.
"Felice,"he'd say,"tell me what you learned today."
"I learned that the population of Nepal is…"
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said,as if the salvation(拯救)of the world would depend upon it."The population of Nepal.Hmm.Well…"he'd say."Get the map; let's see where Nepal is."And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn.Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children,we thought very little about these educational wonders.Our family,however,was growing together,sharing experiences and participating in one another's education.And by looking at us,listening to us,respecting our input,affirming (肯定) our value,giving us a sense of dignity,Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher,I studied with some of the most famous educators.They were imparting what Papa had known all along-the value of continual learning.His technique has served me well all my life.Not a single day has been wasted,though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.

24.What do we know from the first paragraph?C
A.The author's father was born in a worker's family.
B.Those born stupid could not change their life.
C.The poor could hardly afford school education.

A.one new thing  
B.the news  
C.a request  
D.some comment
26.What is the greatest value of"dinner time"to the author?C
A.Winning Papa's approval.
B.Showing talents.

4.The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment.Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota.In the study,he examined information from 100nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health.Mr.Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as nations industrialized(工业化),population increased and earnings rose.More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar,fat,oil and meat.By eating these foods,people began to get fatter and sicker.
"The food,let us say,in the 15 richest nations of the world,right now contains about 400or 500extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need,and that leads people to gain weight."
David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes,heart disease and some cancers.Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe.Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations.Unfortunately when people become industrialized,if they adopt this Western diet,they are going to have these same health problems.
A diet bad for human beings,it seems,is also bad for the environment.As the world's population grows,experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle.These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.
Mr.Tilman calls the link between diet,the environment and human health,"a dilemma",a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.

53.Why did people get fatter in the 1960s?A.
A.They ate foods high in calories.
B.They adopted a western lifestyle.
C.They set aside little time for exercise.
D.They had a better life and became lazier.
54.According to the text,overweight people may suffer the following diseases EXCEPTB.
A.diabetes
B.skin disease
C.cancers
D.heart disease
55.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?B.
A.To tell people effective ways to keep healthy.
B.To call on people to give up the Western diet.
C.To show the problems industrialized nations are facing.
D.To draw people's attention to environmental protection.
