　　The Keel­billed Toucan (彩虹巨嘴鸟) is also known as the Rainbow­billed Toucan because of the colourful bill that the Keel­billed Toucan has.The Keel­billed Toucan’s bill can reach lengths of nearly 20 cm and is around one third of the length of the Keel­billed Toucan’s body.The Keel­billed Toucan’s bill is one of the most colourful bills in the bird world，and it’s more a green colour than anything else.

　　As with other species of toucans，the size of the Keel­billed Toucan’s bill does not affect the balance of the bird itself

　　as its bill is made out of keratin，which is very light but still

　　very strong.

　　The Keel­billed Toucan is native to the jungles of South

　　America where it lives in holes in the trees，often with several other Keel­billed Toucans.In order to make sure that there is

　　enough space for them all，the Keel­billed Toucan group all sleep with their bill and tail under their body to create more room for the other birds.

　　The Keel­billed Toucan has a diet with large quantities of different kinds of fruit.However，because of the surprising dexterity of its bill，the Keel­billed Toucan also eats bird eggs and insects，if there’s not enough fruit.

　　The Keel­billed Toucan is an extremely sociable bird and is very hard to be seen on its own.As well as nesting together，the Keel­billed Toucan travels in small groups.Different from what people think though，the Keel­billed Toucan is not very good at flying and does most of its moving about by jumping between the tree branches.

　　A female Keel­billed Toucan lays between 1 and 5 eggs in

　　the hole of a tree，which usually hatch within a few weeks.Both the male and female Keel­billed Toucan hatch the eggs

　　and both Keel­billed Toucan parents also feed and look after

　　their babies until they are old enough and strong enough to protect themselves.

　　’s over for another four years . We are lucky: from the English Premier League to Wimbledon and the football World Cup, we have enough sport to entertain us all year round until 2017.

　　But what about the Olympic athletes once the Games finish? Of course , the famous such as Michael Phelps and Liu Xiang haven’t finished competing yet , and can live off their fame until the London Games. Yao Ming had a disappointing time in Beijing , but at least he can carry on playing basketball and earning money and glory with the Houston Rockets. The professional sportsmen and women who compete in the Olympics such as footballers or tennis players go back to their day jobs, earning millions.

　　Not all former Olympic athletes are so lucky. Some nations have started to reward successful Olympians with cash, but retired athletes still have to go on and find something else to do once the Games are over. What do they do to earn a living , or to satisfy their competitive nature?

　　A billion people around the globe watch the Olympics and athletes and land a job by simply having a recognizable face. Acting is one employment opportunity.

　　It is disappointing to see healthy athletes promoting the unhealthiest of food and drink. One other career move for Olympians is to go into politics. Actors have done it, so why not athletes? Politicians certainly love successful sportspeople. But as British cyclist Chris Hoy has shown, Olympic gold medalists don’t always love being used by politicians , who try to steal some of their fame and glory.

　　60. Who will have the greatest difficulty in making money after the Olympics?

　　B. Because of their familiar faces.

　　C. Because acting is their favourite profession.

　　D. Because they have no choice but to accept their fate.

　　62. The author thinks that

　　.

　　A. athletes can become politicians

　　B. athletes shouldn’t go into politics

　　C. athletes are thought to become better politicians

　　D. athletes’ fame and glory stop them improving themselves
