38 __
in the cold wilderness, it was 6 hours later that day broke, and then the
39
of the rescue team.
It is almost
40
that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his
41
: “First of all l I 42 my
physical conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no

to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to

the wound from
bleeding . In this way I dozed（打盹）off.”

. Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the

of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to
51
themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing not far away.
Don't you think that you can compare it with
52
itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness.
53
that it’s unclear to you ye and you needn’t put up struggle

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Chocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain．Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health．They describe chocolate as“something to die for”or say“death by chocolate”．Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:
A happier heart
Scientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa—the main ingredient in chocolate and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart．Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow．These benefits are the result of coca’s chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation(炎症)．
Better blood pressure
If yours is high, chocolate may help．Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3．5 ounces of dark chocolate per day for two weeks saw their blood pressure drop quickly．
Muscle magic
Chocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout(锻炼)．In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better on a tiredness test than those who had some sports drinks．
Better for your skin．German researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day．After three months, the women’s skin was moister(滑润的)and smoother．The research shows that chocolate helps protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance．
Brain gains
It sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving by increasing blood flow to the brain．
5 coca’s chemicals can prevent both cell damage and inflammation.
B. chocolate may help you lower your blood pressure.
C. People early know
chocolate is good
for their health
D. chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving.

MP4 is the short name for a special video format called MPEG-4. The format can compress large video content into a relatively small document while keeping its quality.
They named it MP4 mainly because it was regarded as an update from MP3. MP3 only compresses audio documents.
After MP3 players became popular, some technology companies started thinking about making videos that fit into people's pockets. In fact; most PDAs and some hand-held mobile phones already have video function.
Since then, manufacturers worldwide have joined in the rush. Among them are big companies like Sony, Microsoft and Apple, although they don't call their products MP4 players.
Sony called its product with video function the PMP (Portable Media Player). Microsoft prefers PMC (Personal Media Centre), while some others call the gadgets PVPs (Personal Video Player).
But, basically, these products all have the same core function--playing video content.
An MP4 player is not just an MP3 player with an extra video function.
In fact, MP4 players must be able to play, record, and transform large video content. That requires an overall change in both hardware and software. Storage must be enlarged, display strengthened, speakers powered, software upgraded, and appearance redesigned.
Since video function enriched the players, other functions such as games, cameras can be added. Sony's PSP (Play Station Portable) was originally built for video games.
In this case, PMP or PMC is more accurate a term than MP4.

In the past, young people in Japan were expected to take on responsibilities to support their parents and grandparents. Now they expect to be supported well into young adulthood. The "new breed", born since the 1960s, have never known anything but richness. Youth are seen as resistant to entering society as mature adults, to becoming social citizens. Once the great objective of reconstruction after the Second World War was accomplished, a new generation lost the motivating power that had united the nation together.
Japan's birth rate has been failing rapidly, partly because of economic decline, and the job and financial insecurity that it has caused. In 1999, the figure was1.38 children per woman, the lowest ever recorded. At the same time, youth
