B
I was the middle child of three，but there was a gap of five years on either side，and I hardly saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons，and I think from the very start my literary ambitions（文学志向）were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated（孤独）and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts，and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.
However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five，my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had "chair-like teeth”--a good enough expression. At eleven，when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local（地方的）newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished "nature poems". I also, about twice，attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.
60. The underlined word“it" in paragraph 2 refers to_____.
A. the quantity of serious writing B. the writer's first poem
C. the writer's childhood D. the tiger in the poem
61. From the text, we learn that as a little boy the writer＿．
A. had no playmates
B. showed his gift for writing
C. put out lots of poems and stories
D. got his first poem published in 1916.
62. What can be inferred about the writer?
A. He was least favoured in his family.
B. He had much difficulty in talking with others.
C. He had an unhappy childhood for lack of care.
D. His loneliness resulted in his interest in writing.

Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of foods that are considered more healthful than the types of foods sold in supermarkets. For example, whole grains, dried beans, and corn oil are health foods. A narrower classification of health food is natural food. This term is used to distinguish between types of the some food. Raw honey is a natural sweetener, whereas refined sugar is not. Fresh fruit is a natural food, but canned fruit, with sugars and other additives（添加剂）, is not. The most precise term of all and the narrowest classification within health foods is organic food, used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm. Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens that are treated only with organic fertilizers(有机化肥), that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides, and that are not refined after harvest, are organic foods. Meat, fish, dairy and poultry products from animals that are fed only organically — grown feed and that are not injected with hormones (激素) are also organic foods.
In choosing the type of food you eat, then, you have basically two choices: inorganic, processed foods, or organic, unprocessed foods. A wise decision should include investigation of the reason why processed foods contain chemicals, some of which are proved to be toxic （有毒的）and why vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed foods.
Bread is typically used by health food advocates as an example of a processed food. First, the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with a chemical which is extremely toxic. Later, the grain is sprayed with a number of very toxic insecticides. After the grain has been made into flour, it is made white with another chemical which is also toxic. Next, a dough conditioner is added, along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons, and in fact, the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals.
A very toxic anti-fungal compound（抗真菌化合物）, is added to keep the bread from getting moldy.
Other foods from the supermarket would show a similar pattern of processing and preserving. You see, we buy our food on the basis of smell, color, and texture, instead of vitamin content, and manufacturers give us what we want, even if it is poisonous. The alternative? Eat health foods, preferable the organic variety.
71. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Health food. B. The processing of bread. C. Organic gardens. D. Poisons.
72. Which term is used to distinguish between types of the same food?
A. Refined foods. B. Natural foods. C. Organic foods. D. Unprocessed foods.
73. What do all of the additives in bread have in common?
A. They are all used to keep the bread from getting moldy.
B. They are all poisons.
C. They are all organic.
D. They have all killed laboratory animals.
74. What happens to food when it is processed?
A. The ultimate content remains the same.
B. Vitamin information is not available after processing.
C. Vitamin content is reduced altogether.
D. The vitamin content is greatly reduced.
75. We normally buy foods on the basis of
A. organic variety B. beauty C. refined contents D. color and texture
