   Warren Edward Buffett was born on August 30, 1930. As the second oldest kid in his family, he has two sisters. He showed an amazing talent （天资）for both money and business at a very early age.

At the age of six, Buffett bought six-packs of Coca-Cola from his grandfather's store for twenty-five cents and resold each of the bottles for five cents. While other children of his age were playing, Buffett was making money. Five years later, Buffett took his first step into the world of high finance （金融）.

At eleven years old, he bought three shares （股票）of Cities Service Preferred （CSP） at $ 38 per share for both himself and his sister, Doris. Shortly after buying them, the shares fell to just over $ 27 per share. Though Buffett fell frightened, he held his shares until they went up to $ 40. He immediately sold them — a mistake he would soon come to regret, be­cause each share of the CSP went up to $ 200. The experience taught him that investing （投资）needed time and a patient wait.

In 1947, Buffett graduated from high school when he was 17 years old. It was never his plan to go to college. He had already made $ 5,000 by delivering newspapers. His father had other plans and strongly advised his son to attend the Wharton Business School at the Univer­sity of Pennsylvania. Buffett only stayed there for two years, saying that he knew more than his professors. He returned home and went to the University of Nebraska — Lincoln. Despite working full-time, he managed to graduate in only three years. Buffett approached graduate studies with the same resistance he displayed a few years earlier. He was finally persuaded to apply for Harvard Business School, which refused him because he was too young. Buffett then applied for Columbia University, where he got an experience that would forever change his life from famous investors Ben Graham and David Dodd.

39. What do we know about Buffett?

A. He didn't get along well with his sisters.

B. He was born in a poor but loving family.

C. He often made mistakes during his childhood.

D. He showed a natural ability to do business in childhood.

40. What did Buffett learn from his experience of buying CSP's shares?

A. Investment needs patience.

B. Experience is valuable for investment.

C. Regretting is useless in the investment.

D. Mistakes are unavoidable during the investment.

41. Why did Buffett leave the Wharton Business School?

A. He wanted to help his grandfather.

B. He was not satisfied with his professors.

C. He was unwilling to make friends there.

D. He preferred the university in his hometown.

42. What's the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Buffett's interest. B. Buffett's education.

C. Buffett's family members. D. Buffett's working experience.

C

 Belly fat （stomach fat） has long been thought to be especially bad for your heart, but now, a new study adds more evidence to the idea that it may also be bad for your brain.

The study, from the United Kingdom, found that people who were overweight and had a high waist — to — hip ratio （a measure of belly fat） had slightly lower brain volumes （容量）,on average, compared with people who were just over weight or had a healthy weight. Specifically, belly fat was connected with lower volumes of gray matter, the brain tissue （组织）that contains nerve cells,

“Our research looked at a large group of people and found obesity （肥胖），especifically around the middle, may be linked with brain shrinkage （萎缩），"lead study author Mark Hamer, a professor at Loughborough University, said in a statement.

Lower brain volume, or brain shrinkage, has been linked with a higher risk of memory recession, which leads to being forgetful.

The new findings, published on Jan. 9 in the journal Neurology, suggested that the com­bination of obesity （as measured by body mass index, or BMI） and a high waist — to — hip ratio may cause brain shrinkage.

However, the study found only a connection between belly fat and lower brain volume, but couldn't prove that belly fat actually caused brain shrinkage. It could be that people with lower volumes of gray matter in certain brain areas are at a higher risk of obesity. Future studies are needed to find out the causes of the connection,

43. What can we infer about belly fat from the new study?

A. Belly fat is bad for our eyes.

B. Belly fat affects people's diet.

C. Belly fat can help increase brain volumes,

D. Belly fat may have a bad influence on our brain.

44. Who most probably has lower brain volume according to the new study?

A. A tall and thin man.

B. A short and thin man.

C. A man with too much belly fat.

D. A man with normal body weight.

45. What do the researchers need to study further according to the text?

A. The real cause of getting obesity.

B. The danger of getting too much fat.

C. The bad effect caused by belly fat and brain shrinkage.

D. The reasons for the connection between belly fat and brain shrinkage.

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

 A few years ago, I reached out to an organization to suggest that we have an informal conversation about cooperation （合作）.I didn't get a（n） 46     . So I waited for one week and sent an email to that person first. Then I called and 47   a voice message.  48    ，I said to myself, should take further steps.

Dear Cathy，

I'm writing to tell you something about one of the most famous tourist attractions in China---- the Great Wall.

The Great Wall came into being during the Zhou Dynasty and reached its best in the Ming Dynasty as a defense against enemies. With a history of over 2, 000 years, it runs like a huge dragon across North China. And now it's a world-famous place of interest. It's almost a must for foreigners to visit in China.By the way, you'd better avoid weekends or holidays, when it is too crowded with tourists, so as to enjoy its beauty more peacefully.

Looking forward to your early reply.                                          Yours，

△   Qufu in Shandong Province is the hometown of Confucius, founder of the Confucian school of philosophy. There are many cultural sites, among which the most famous are the Mansion, the Temple and the Cemetery of Confucius.

 Confucius belonged to the State of Lu in the Spring and Autumn period. By the time of the Warring States period, there were seven chief kingdoms left.Sometimes, they were joined to each other because the power of an individual kingdom was too small, and sometimes they broke away from each other. During this period, the kingdoms went through a number of battles, including military offensive as well as military defence. Finally the State of Qin conquered the other six kingdoms and united China. After that, the Qin Dynasty established a new legal system and a unified currency. Evidence shows that the Qin Dynasty made great achievements in many aspects. Why the Qin Dynasty was strong is no longer a puzzle.

Yours,

Li Hua
