A
Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
　　The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
　　I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it's nothing.”
　　Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean？You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry; I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you; shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
56. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.
A. was rather impolite B. was warmly received
　C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair

The nation's largest group of pediatricians(小儿科医生) on Monday urged its members to “firmly oppose boxing for any child or adolescent.”
In a statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said thousands of boys and girls take part in the sport in North America, despite risks of serious brain and facial injuries. The group’s position was approved by some experts.
“There is very little one can do in order to increase the chance of having a healthy brain when you get old,” said Dr. Hans Forstl, who has studied boxing injuries.
“ One of the best things you can do is avoid boxing.” He said.
According to the new statement, published in the journal Pediatrics, information from Canada shows a rise in boxing injuries over the past decade.
Pat Russo, a retired police officer who runs a boxing gym in Brooklyn, New York, said injuries are rare in amateur boxing. After 26 years and training thousands of kids, he has seen just one split lip among his students.
“ If the gym is run properly, injuries are at an absolute minimum,” Russo said. “Football is ten times more dangerous. While tennis or football might also help kids gain confidence, boxing holds a special attraction for children in poor neighborhoods, because it allows them to act tough while in trouble.”
Dr. Robert Cantu, a surgeon (外科医生) at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts, said AAP’s attitude makes sense for upper-class and middle-class kids.
“ Clearly boxing is safer today than it was 20 or 30 years ago, but it is still a very risky activity,” he said.
“For kids in poor areas, however, the situation is different,” said Cantu. “ The most dangerous thing for the majority of people in boxing is just where they live. They are far safer in the ring (拳击场), even taking blows to the head, than they are out in the neighborhood.”
61. The statement released by AAP was ___________.
A approved by Pat Russo B focused on professional boxing
C based on Dr. Hans Forstl’s research D strongly against boxing for children
62. What is Dr
