11．The practice of exchanging foreign currency can vary by country．In one country，you may have to change your money at the airport，and in other countries you may need to buy your foreign currency in advance．Here are some places you can exchange foreign currency for U．S．currency．
Your Bank
In many cases you can purchase U．S．currency for your trip from a bank．Banks tend to have higher exchange rates than some currency exchange businesses．Before you purchase currency from a bank，check the currency change rates for that day so you can compare the rate the bank is giving and determine if it's a good offer．There is a fee involved in withdrawing foreign currency from your bank．
The Airport
Currency exchange businesses can be found at most international airports，so you can purchase U．S．currency either before you board your flight or at the U．S．a(chǎn)irport on arrival．Note that U．S．a(chǎn)irports typically have fewer currency exchange counters than travelers are accustomed to seeing in other parts of the world．If the airport you are flying into is not in a major U．S．city，consider using the exchange service in your departure airport to be on the safe side．If you are in an airport where several exchange companies operate，be sure to shop around for the best rate and lowest exchange fee．

56．The practice of exchanging foreign currencyC．
A．changes with time of the year
B．depends on exchange rates of the day
C．is likely to differ from country to country
D．is exactly the same all over the world
57．Before purchasing foreign currency from a bank，you are advised toD．
A．deposit some money with the bank
B．examine the services of the bank
C．pay the exchange fee in advance
D．compare the exchange rates
58．In which case are you advised to consider using the exchange service in your departure airport？D
A．If you are flying with a foreign airline．
B．If the airport is far from the city center．
C．If the airport you are flying into is not safe．
D．If you are not flying into a major US city．
59．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．currency exchange
B．exchange fees
C．American airports
D．U．S．currency．

7．Are you looking for something to do？You might like to try one of these four experiences．
Crocodile watching
Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth？Crocosaurus Cove，in Darwin （Australia） has the"Cage of Death"．It's an enclosure that's lowered into a pool．This gives you a 360degree view of a crocodile as it's being fed．The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom，but they've fixed it since then．
EdgeWalk
How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air？If that sounds like fun，head off to the CN Tower in Toronto （Ontario，Canada）．Built in 1976，the tower is 553.33meters tall．
The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30minute stroll along a 1.5meter wide platform that runs around the tower's restaurant roof．During the walk，you're encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto's skyline （輪廓線）．
Plastic ball rolling
Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball？
Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world，but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua （New Zealand）．Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994．A typical orb （球） is about 3meters in diameter，with an inner orb size of about 2meters．There's no brake or steering mechanism，but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock．
Volcano bungee jumping
If you're looking for the adventure of a lifetime，how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano？As part of the jumping，a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano，one of the most active in Chile．Once you're at the drop zone，you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano．Finally，you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph．

6．Plants are very important living things．Life could not go on if there were no plants．This is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight．Animals and man cannot make food from air，water and sunlight．Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals．Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live．This is why we find that there are so many plants around us．
If you look carefully at the plants around you，you will find that there are two kinds of plants：flowering plants and non-flowering plants．
Flowering plants can make seeds．The seeds are  protected by the fruits．Some fruits have one seed，some have two，three or four，and some have many seeds．But a few fruits have no seeds at all．An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit．
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds．They grow from spores（胚芽）．Spores are very small．Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air．We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds．When these spores are all on wet and shady places，they usually grow into new plants．

40．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatA．
A．plants are important for life      
B．plants cannot grow without air
C．there are many plants in the world 
D．we can not live without water
41．What can we infer（推斷） from the passage？D
A．Of all living things animals are most important
B．Spores are seeds
C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds
D．Without plants，man will die out
42．This passage may be taken fromC．
A．a(chǎn) medicine book                    B．a(chǎn) novel
C．a(chǎn) science magazine                 D．a(chǎn)n experiment report
43．The underlined word"protected"in the third paragraph can be replaced byC．
A．damaged     B．polluted      C．prevented        D．guarded．

16．In the United States，30percent of the grown-up population has a"weight"problem．To many people，the cause is clear：they eat too much．But scientific experiments do little to support this idea．Going back to the American of 1910，we find that people were thinner than today，yet they are more food．In those days people worked harder physically，walked more，used machines much less，and didn't watch television．
Several modern studies，besides，have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people．In fact，some research work，such as 1970study of 3，545London office workers，reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on the average．
Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people．A study by the research group of School of Medicine at Stanford University found the following interesting facts．The more a man ran，the greater body fat he lost．The more he ran，the greater he needed for food．Thus，those who ran the most ate the most，yet lost the greater amount of body fat．

61．What kind of physical problem do many grown-up American have？C
A．They are too thin．                B．They work too hard．
C．They are too fat                   D．They lose too much body fat．
62．What has modern medical and scientific research reported to us？A
A．Fat people eat less food and are less active．
B．Fat people eat more food and are more active．
C．Fat people eat more food but lose greater amount of body fat．
D．Thin people run less，but eat more food．
63．Based on the number given in the article，if there are 500adult Americans，how many of them will have weight problem？D
A.30                B.50               C.100                D.150．

1．The right name is important in the business world．All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you'll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone's mind．
In many countries，successful trade or brand names are protected by law．This is so that other companies cannot make a product that looks like another．People might think that they were buying one product and，in fact，be buying something different．Businesses register a company or a product name with the government．In fact，more than 1，000 product and company names are registered every hour．Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products．A good example of this is in the car industry．Some successful names for cars have powerful associations．The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong．
When a U．S．company decides to sell its product in another country，it has to make sure that the product name translates properly．When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China，it looked for the right name．It wanted a name that would do two things．One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name-Coke．It took some efforts before finding the right word-which sounds similar and translates as"happiness in the mouth"．Asian company names are not new to the United States．The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful．Finding the right brand name is a big business．Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers．There are even naming companies that specialize in inventing product names．These companies can charge up to $ 100，000 a word for their creations．But it's worth it．Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development．
