34、e adventure.The doctor called them Hogwarts Headaches, named after the wizard school that Harry attends.The doctor wrote that the three children, aged 8 to 10, experienced a headache for two or three days. Each had spent many hours reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.The doctor told hi

35、s patients to give their eyes a rest. But the spell(咒語) cast by Harry Potter was clearly too powerful. “The obvious cure that is, taking a break from reading was rejected by two of the patients,” he said.In each case, the headache went away only after the patient turned the final page.Harry Potter a

36、nd the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth book in the series, has nearly three times as many pages as Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, the first book, and J.K. Rowling still plans two more books.“If this escalation (頁數增加) continues as Rowling concludes the story, there may be an epidemic(流行病) of H

37、ogwarts Headaches in the years to come,” the doctor predicted(預言). He warned that continuously reading for a long time was very harmful to eyes.60. What can we know from this passage?A.

RowlingC The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches(串)of bananas and bags

41、 of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life.“Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change, so I

42、 told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where its not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parent

43、s had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “Whats up?”I asked him.“II dont have money to buy books for school.”I reached in

44、to my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.“Will this help?”I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,”he said.“Thank you very much!”When dri

45、ving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if hes a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didnt know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the

46、next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?”I asked.He nodded.“Thats

47、 good,”I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here, I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.”He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt.“Whats wrong?”I asked.“Its a gift.”He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face s

48、hone with sweat(汗水). He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said,“Ive been waiting to give these to you.”64. What was the authors first impression of the boy? A. He seemed to be poor and greedy. B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.C. He seemed younger than his

49、 age. D. He seemed good at bargaining.65. The second time the author met the boy, the boy . A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooks.D. tried to take advantage of him66. Why did the author give his money to the boy? A.

50、 Because he had enough money to do that.B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C. Because he held a higher position in the society.D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.67. Which of the following best describes the boy? A. Brave and polite. B. Kind and smart. C. H

51、onest and thankful. D. Shy and nervous.DPeople often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that could be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. Its something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who

52、 seem to be determined to findsome way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, its a waste of time. I dont mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.Look at one of

53、the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfullyshy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating（交往）with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he hassuccessfully found a way to deal wit

54、h it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend（傳奇）among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admittedher problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane
