One of the problems in our daily lives is that many of us rush through the day, with no time for anything. And when we have time to get a bite to eat, we gobble it down. That leads to stressful, unhealthy living.

With the simple but powerful act of eating slower, we can begin to change that lifestyle immediately. How hard is it? You take smaller bites, you chew each bite slower and longer, and you enjoy your food. It takes a few minutes extra each meal, and yet it can have profound effects.

You may have already heard of the Slow Food Movement, started in Italy almost two decades ago to go against the fast food movement. Slow Food aims to be everything fast food is not. It’s not just about health ? it’s about a lifestyle. And whether you want to adopt that lifestyle or not, there are some reasons you should consider the simple act:

⑴ ________. The reason is that it takes about 20 minutes for our brains to register that we’re full. If we eat fast, we can continue eating past the point where we’re full.

⑵ ________. It’s hard to engage in eating as a pleasant experience if the food goes by too quickly. If you eat slowly, you can get more of great taste.

⑶ ________. If you eat slower, you’ll chew your food better. The more work you do up in the mouth, the less you’ll have to do in your stomach.

⑷ ________. Eating slowly, and paying attention to our eating, can be a great form of mindfulness exercise. Be in the moment, rather than rushing through a meal thinking about what you need to do next.

⑸ Rebel against fast food and fast life. We rush through our day, doing one mindless task after another, without taking the time to live life, to enjoy life, to relate to each other, to be human. Why not go against that entire lifestyle and philosophy, just with the small act of eating slower?

With online sperm（精子）and egg trade and social networking sites like Bebo, Facebook and MySpace, we already create and date on the Internet ? so why not “bury” online too?

Maggie Candy, a nurse trained in care of the elderly, thought she knew how to deal with death. But when her daughter Stella killed herself at age 17 she found the adult world of condolence（哀悼）books, sympathy cards and graveyard headstones out-dated and lacking in what it could offer in Stella’s memory. In the end, she turned to a new world of online memorials to create a fitting tribute（贡物）.

 “For most younger people now, the Internet is something they use every day and online memorials are a natural evolution,” she told Reuters. Candy now runs a Web site, www.alwaysberemembered.co.uk, on which she offers the bereaved a way of paying tribute to their dead. Users create a memorial page with pictures, poems and tributes which can be visited, viewed and added to by anyone who feels a need.

Candy’s virtual（虚拟的）memorial to her daughter was one of the starting blocks for what some call the latest “e-trend” in Britain. Online memorials have been popular in the United States for years, but in Britain they have only recently begun to grow in popularity. For a generation that spends so much of its time on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, it is quite natural to mourn and honor dead friends online.

Online memorials are also ? perhaps unintentionally ? catching the eye of Britain’s environmentalists. “We are running out of space in this country for graves, and cemeteries ? well yes, there are some nice ones, but generally speaking you wouldn’t want to live next door to one,” Candy says. “With an online memorial, it can be private when I want it to be private, but it is always there, and there is some comfort that no matter where I go, I can go online and see it.”

67. When her daughter died, Candy ______.

       A. didn’t know what to do with her body

B. sought for advice on the Internet

       C. created a website in her memory

D. wanted her to be remembered as an adult

68. What can we learn about www.alwaysberemembered.co.uk from the article?

       A. Everything there is about Candy’s daughter.

       B. Many younger people will visit it every day.

       C. It contains pages in memory of different people.

       D. The visitors cannot leave anything there.

69. The underlined words “the bereaved” in the 3rd paragraph means ______.

       A. people whose death causes great sorrow

       B. people who have lost their beloved

       C. what people sacrifice to serve to the dead

       D. everyone who visits a certain website

70. Judging from the article, Facebook and MySpace should be websites ______.

       A. where people can make friends

B. where you can find virtual memorials

       C. that are becoming popular in Britain      

D. that are also blocks for the latest “e-trend”

71. What Candy considers bad about graves in comparison with virtual memorials is that ______.

       A. some graves are not nice

B. some graves are too close to our houses

       C. graves are always private

D. graves are not always accessible

Britain's first “Safe Text” street has been created complete with padded lampposts to protect millions of mobile phone users from getting hurt in street accidents while walking and texting.

Around one in ten careless Brits has suffered a “walk 'n text” street injury in the past year through collisions with lampposts, bins and other pedestrians. The 6.6million accidents have caused injuries ranging from mild knocks and embarrassing cuts and bruises（青肿）through to bleeding noses, cheekbones and even a broken skull. Almost two thirds - 62 per cent - of Brits concentrate so hard while texting that they don’t see things around, researchers found in a survey conducted by text information company 118.com.

Given the apparent dangers of “unprotected text”, over a quarter of Brits - 27 per cent - are in favour of creating a “mobile motorway” on Britain's pavements. Texters could follow a brightly coloured line, which would act like a cycle lane, guiding them away from obstacles（障碍物）. And 44 per cent of those surveyed wanted pads placed on lampposts to protect them while texting. The study found that busy city streets were the worst for "walk 'n text" accidents.

The research showed that Brick Lane in East London was the top spot for texting injuries. Now Brick Lane has been made the country's first “Safe Text” street, with brightly coloured padding, similar to that used on rugby posts, placed on lamp posts to test if it helps protect inattentive texting pedestrians.

72. Judging from the sentences with the underlined words, “to pad sth.” should mean “to ______”.

       A. protect sth. from damage

B. remove sth. in the way

       C. make sth. firm enough for collision

D. cover sth. with a soft material

73. What is expected to happen in the “Safe Text” street?

       A. Texting pedestrians are safe from the traffic.

       B. None of the walking texters runs into lampposts.

       C. Collisions with lampposts aren’t dangerous.

       D. There are no obstacles in the texters’ way.

74. Last year, ______ Brits have had injuries while texting in the street.

       A. nearly two thirds       of

B. about 10 percent of

       C. 6.6 million

D. around 6.2 percent of

75. The “mobile motorway” is actually a ______.

       A. line hanging to connect the lampposts

B. line drawn on the pavements

       C. lane for motor vehicles to run within      

D. sidewalk called Brick Lane
