Recently, while hiking in the foothills of South Carolina, I happened to notice a small, yet quickly flowing whitewater stream. While relaxing and enjoying the aloneness, I sensed a battle for favorable position between the highly-spirited water and the large rocks resting on the bed along the edges of the stream.
At first; the rocks, stubborn, immovable and unbending, seemed to have their way with their adversary (对手). However, the water, determined yet forgiving, seemed merely inconvenienced by the presence of the rocks, as it effortlessly changed its course, running towards its original destination.
Soon it became clear that the rocks, although remaining strong and firm, were losing this battle as the water's total indifference began to slowly reform these obstacles (障碍) into smooth and beautifully polished stones.
You see, there seemed to be total lack of struggle associated with the water's journey. Struggle is like bondage (束缚) forcing harmony and the water would have none of that. On the contrary，the water seemed perfectly content to move around the rocks when necessary, following some route God had originally intended.
I paused for thought. Maybe people need to be more determined and less stubborn. Maybe human beings need to always be open to different points of view, not afraid to readjust their direction as life presents all of its new and unforeseen challenges.
60. When hiking in the foothills, the author was ______.
A. lonely B. delighted C. nervous D. confused
61. When fighting with the water, the rocks ______.
A. were made into irregular patterns B. were lacking in the spirit of struggle
C. stuck to their original method all the way D. redesigned their path according to the situation
62. The water won the battle mainly because it was______.
A. changeable B. brave C. aggressive D. powerful
63. The author wrote the text mainly to _______.
A. stress the importance of determination B. praise the open-mindedness of the stream
C. share with us his interesting journey D. give us some advice on how to deal with challenges
C
Tobacco companies are fighting efforts in the United States and Australia to make their products less appealing. In Washington, a federal judge last week blocked the Food and Drug Administration from requiring new warning labels on cigarette packs. Judge Richard Leon ruled in a case brought by five tobacco companies. The judge temporarily stopped a new federal rule which requires large new warnings starting next September. These include color images such as a dead body or diseased lungs. And simple text warnings now appear.
Congress called for color images showing the dangers of smoking, similar to what Canada does. But the tobacco companies say the new requirements approved in June violate (侵犯) their free speech rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Judge Leon said the FDA could not require the new labels before a lawsuit (诉讼)against the government is decided. Some experts say the process could take years. The judge said he believed the cigarette makers were highly likely to win their case.
He said the images should be designed to appeal to emotions, rejecting government arguments that they should be purely factual. He accused the government of trying to use the labels to promote an “obvious anti-smoking agenda?”
The head of an anti-smoking group, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, called the decision “wrong on the science and wrong on the law”.
About one-fifth of American adults smoke. The World Health Organization says tobacco kills nearly six mil-lion people worldwide each year. More than six hundred thousand of them are non-smokers who breathe other people's tobacco smoke.
In Australia, tobacco companies want to stop what would be the world’s most restrictive laws on cigarette advertising. Cigarettes could be sold only in plain olive-green packages. Only the brand name and health warnings could appear. The Senate passed the bill last week and sent it back to the Lower House to approve minor amendments (修正). The law is to go into effect in December of next year.
Tobacco companies Say the legislation (法规) violates the Australian constitution. They say it would unjustly reduce the value of their brand names and trademarks. Health Minister Nicola Roxon says the government is ready for a legal fight.
64. What are the tobacco companies ii1 the United States and Australia fighting against?
A. The requirements to sell fewer products to the public.
B. The requirements to print new warning labels on their products.
C. The measures to make their products more attractive.
D. The ways to make the companies close their business.
65. What warning label on cigarette packs is being used in the United States?
A. An image of a dead body. B. An image of diseased lungs.
C. Text of health warnings. D. Text of advertisements.
66. Which country has adopted color images showing the dangers of smoking as warning labels?
A. America. B. Australia. C. Canada. D. Britain.
67. In 2013, what will Australian cigarettes probably look like?
A. Plain olive-green packages only with health warnings.
B. Plain olive-green packages only with the brand name and health warnings.
C. Plain packages with the brand name and health warnings.
D. Plain packages with color images of a dead body or diseased lungs.

Part of the magic in movies is the costumes. They can transform a normal-looking actor into a cowboy, a space alien or even a superhero. Costumes for movies are designed and created by a whole team of people, according to Courtney Daniel, a Toronto-based costume designer who worked on the recent movie Night At The Museum.
As a designer, she does research to find out what details are needed to make a costume work, and what makes sense for a specific movie. In Night At The Museum, she and a few other designers spent time at libraries and museums studying everything from what cowboys should wear, to what ancient Egyptians and Huns would have put on. Once they got the information they needed, they figured out what fabrics (织物) to use and how to put them together.
The designers even changed a few details to make the costumes more “movie friendly”. For example, more colour and extra touches (修饰)helped historical costumes to be alive for kids. One example of this is the costume for the role in the movie Night At The Museum, an Indian woman Sacagawea, which has a shorter skirt and fits more closely than the clothes the real Sacagawea would have worn.
Daniel has also worked on costumes for other big-name movies, such as the second and third X-Men movies, and Catwoman. If you are. interested in being a costume designer, it helps to have an interest in sewing. She said,“Learning how to sew, and how different fabrics and materials work is important.”So is knowing how to carry out research, Daniel's degree in art history helped in this area
