　　Ann Curry is a famous news presenter of the NBC News “Today” show. When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if she’d like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
　　Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped  pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union(学生会), was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
　　One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Ann for books on cancer(癌症). The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Ann has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.
　　Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical(外科的) operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.
　　Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgical operation for free.
　　Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt!
　　At McCarely’s bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people who watch the programmes, helping them make sense of the world.
　　56.Ann Curry got her first job .
　　［A］from her friend in a bookstore［B］a couple of years before college
　　［C］at the NBC news “Today” show［D］when she was studying at university
　　57.At which parttime job did Ann Curry feel the happiest?
　　［A］The hotel.［B］The bookstore.
　　［C］The student union.［D］The US Forest Service.
　　58.What particularly gives her the feeling of pride?
　　［A］Helping people through work.［B］Reporting interesting stories.
　　［C］Being able to do different jobs well.
　　［D］Paying through her college education.
　　59.How did Ann help the child get the operation he needed?
　　［A］Ann persuaded the boy to speak on TV.
　　［B］Ann paid for the operation herself.
　　［C］Ann’s boss agreed to raise money.
　　［D］Ann’s news report moved some doctors.
　　B
　　Last April, on a visit to the new Mall of America near Minneapolis, I carrid with me a small book provided for the reporters by the public relations office. It included a variety of “fun facts” about the mall, such as:140 000 hot dogs are sold each week, there are 10 000 fulltime jobs, 44 sets of moving stairs and 17 lifts, 12 750 parking places, 13 000 tons of steel, and ＄1 million is drawn weekly from 8 ATMs. Opened in the summer of 1992, the mall was built where the former Minneapolis Stadium(体育馆) had been. It was only a fiveminute drive from the MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport. With 4.2 million square feet of floor space — twentytwo times the size of the average American shopping center — the Mall of America was the largest shopping and family recreation(娱乐)center under one roof in the United States.
　　I knew already that the Mall of America had been imagined by its designers, not merely as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attraction. Eleven thousand articles, the small book informed me, had been written about the mall. Four hundred trees had been planted in its gardens, ＄625 million had been spent to build it, and 350 stores were already in business. Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a halfmillion Canadian visitors and 200 000 Japanese tourists. Sales were expected to be at ＄650 million for 1993 and at ＄1 billion for 1996. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Arnold Schwarzenegger had visited the mall. It was five times larger than Red Square and it included 2.3 miles of hallways and used almost twice as much steel as the Eiffel Tower. It was also home to the nation’s largest indoor park, called Knott’s Camp Snoopy.
　　60.We know from the text that the Mall of America is .
　　［A］near an old stadium［B］close to an airport
　　［C］higher than the Eiffel Tower［D］bigger than most America parks
　　61.Why are the pieces of information provided by Mall of America referred to as “fun facts”?
　　［A］They are largely imagined.［B］They are surprising figures.
　　［C］They give exact descriptions.［D］They make people feel uneasy.
　　62.What’s the point of mentioning popular stars who had been to the mall?
　　［A］To show its power of attraction.
　　［B］To show that few rich people like to shop there.
　　［C］To tell the public about a new movie being made about it.
　　［D］To  tell people that they have chances of meeting famous stars there.
　　63.We can infer from the text that .
　　［A］Japanese visitors are most welcome to the mall
　　［B］Canadian visitors would spend ＄1 billion at the mall
　　［C］Knott’s Camp Snoopy was next to the Mall of America
　　［D］the Mall of America was designed to serve more than one purpose

　　The research was done by a Dr. Griffiths in England. He compared the behavior of 15 regular gamblers(赌徒) with those of 15 nonregular gamblers before and after they gambled. Both groups had increased heart rates(心率) during gambling because it was exciting. But the regular gamblers’ heart rates went down almost straight after the game, while the nonregulars remained excited and had increased heart rates for longer.
　　When the heart beat increases, the body produces chemicals called endorphins which make you feel good. Dr. Griffiths thinks that regular gamblers lose this good feeling soon after a game and need to play again quickly to regain the pleasure.
　　He has also discovered that regular gamblers have different psychological reactions(心理反应) from nonregular gamblers. In an experiment where regular and nonregular gamblers thought aloud while playing, regular gamblers had far more unreasonable thoughts. In their minds they turned losses into nearwins. Dr. Griffiths thinks that nearly winning gives the gambler a high in the same way that a win would do. 摘自考试吧
