They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books - especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good

11、paper and bound（裝訂）between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts o

12、f being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, pol

13、itics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet! Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand books, the c

14、ollector must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small hand carts. And the collectors, some professiona

15、ls and some amateurs, have been waiting for them. In places like this they can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.21. “Londoners are great readers” means that _. A. Londoners read a lot B. There are a great number of readers in London C. Londoners a

16、re readers who read only great books D. Londoners are great because they read a lot22. According to this passage, Charring Cross Road _.

19、ever occur, according to new research.The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data obtained from the Antarctic（南極）ice.Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3000-met

20、er depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to -40,has at least 900, 000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer have begun to answer questions about the climates i

21、n the past.The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740 000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global condition today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15 000 years.Research

22、suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide levels are the highest for at least 440 000 years. “If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into ice age otherwise,

23、our data say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. “Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages. and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future.”Scientists

24、 found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. “In 440 000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today,” said Dr Wolff.25.

26、ng temperatures in different areas D. studying the ice and air caught in each layer27. We can infer from Eric Wolffs words that_. A. there is something wrong with the data B. greenhouse effect is always a bad thing C. greenhouse gas will get thick in the future D. a new ice age will not come in the

27、near future C Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance. Yoga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, min

28、d, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999.

Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintai

31、n a balanced metabolism (新陳代謝), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do e

32、nergizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses. Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and worries. I use yogic breathing on the tenni

33、s courts, in the dentists chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the te

34、nsion.Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group.
