Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you're not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it's a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it's important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren't used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask his/her advice.

Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don't worry if you begin to lose your breath. Shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

38. The words "Along with" (in Para. 1, line 1) most probably means _________

A. In accordance with B. Except for

C. In addition to D. Instead of

39. Cycling is good for people with painful back because _________

A. they can avoid putting all their weight on their feet

B. they can have some exercise on their back

C. they must start slowly and build up gently

D. they can relieve pain from the back

40. The probable result of sudden exercise is that _________

A. you might get a little out of breath

B. you will lose your breath

C. you can get your muscles hurt

D. you' ll find you are in pain with your heart

A. To give amusement B. To make criticism

C. To give advice D. To give warning

(D)

Dear Sir,

I am writing to make a strong complaint about the impolite treatment my guests, my colleague and I received when we visited your restaurant last Friday evening.

On booking a table for four by telephone on Tuesday we were assured that there would be room for us despite the fact that your restaurant had been open only for a few weeks and all the tables had already been booked.

We appreciate that there must be great demand for restaurant meals at this time of the year in such a popular and historic area but we were not expecting such an ill-mannered reception on the part of your head waiter.

Our Chinese friends are currently touring the 'Shakespeare Country' and were looking forward to a traditional English dinner in such a charming setting. But our hopes for an enjoyable evening out were instantly spoilt when your head waiter informed us that he had received no booking in our name and, so, no table was reserved for our party. My colleague and I protested at this and asked to speak to the Manager, who, we were told, was unavailable.

Your staff then offered us a table which we all had to share with another couple and no effort was made to smooth over the unpleasantness we had experienced. We also had to wait for some considerable time before the menu was brought to us.

I trust you will give this complaint your prompt attention as the whole embarrassing incident was a great disappointment to our guests and set a bad example to our English hospitality.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Paul J. Weller

42. Mr. Weller could be described as being _________

A. disappointed

B. impolite

C. moderately dissatisfied

D. hurt and angry

43. The writer had the unpleasant experience in _________

A. a hotel

B. a Chinese restaurant

C. a restaurant in Shakespeare’s birthplace

D. a bar in London

44. Mr. Weller hopes that this letter of complaint _________

A. will be looked into at once

B. will embarrass the manager

C. will result in the restaurant being closed

D. will cause the quick dismissal of the head waiter

The idea for the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came to

Joanne Kathleen Rowling in 1990. It took her seven years to finish

writing it. During those seven years she had a number of jobs,

including one job as an English teacher in Portugal.

Rowling sent the book to four publishers before one of them bought

it. She was very happy to sell her book because it was her life's

dream to be a published writer. Before she sold her book, Rowling was

living in a small apartment with her daughter and was so poor that she

could not afford heat in the winter.

Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in

England. The book also really took off in the United States. After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers' lists of best-sellers. Then the books were made into popular movies. Without question, Rowling's life had completely changed, in just three years.

Harry Potter books have now sold more than 30 million books around the world and have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. In 1997, Rowling was earning ￡70 (about

US$110) a week. By the end of 2001, she had earned over ￡150 million ($250 million), making her one of the most successful female writers of all time.

Every four years, the world turns its attention to the soccer

World Cup. The most successful teams in the tournament have

traditionally come from South America and Europe. However,

over the years, there have been a number of surprising

results.

In a famous match in 1950, the USA came up against

England, one of the favorites to win the tournament. Many of

the American players were amateurs from college teams.

Surprisingly, the USA won 1-0. Other World Cup surprises were

North Korea's win over Italy in 1966, and Cameroon's win over

Argentina in 1990.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup stands out as probably the most surprising World Cup of all time. In the opening match, Senegal surprised everyone by beating France, the World Cup winner in 1998. Japan then beat Russia, the USA beat Portugal, and South Korea beat Italy, Spain, Poland, and Portugal. South Korea made it all the way to the final four, before finally losing to Germany. In the final game, which was watched by one billion people around the world, Brazil won 2-0 over Germany. Brazil set a World Cup record by becoming the first team to win seven games in a row. Also, Brazil's most talented player, Ronaldo, scored eight goals in one tournament―more than any other player since 1970.
