A. Choose the best answer( 根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案) (12分)
People usually imagine they are much more likely to win the lottery(彩票) than they really are. The American lottery is promoted(促销)with the phrase(短语) "It could be you", which, of course, is technically true. To tell the whole truth it should be read: "It could be you, but it almost certainly won't be."
Recently thousands of people began pouring into(涌入) Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history.
More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing(抽奖). Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn't affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.
Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they'll probably never have.
But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized(合法化的)gambling. Some critics (评论家)note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts (入迷的人) who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them get rid of the habit.
Politicians (政治家) like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes(税收) .The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for the old people. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice (恶习) under the name of social progress. Whether you regard stock lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.
69. There is__________ chance to win the lottery for most of the people.
A) never a B) little C) a big D) a good
70. People who bought lottery tickets had to choose_________ numbers from one to eighty.
A) phone B) postal C)seven D) lucky
71. In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling_______.
A) $ 1.62 million B) $ 1.82 million C) $ 9.6 million D) $ 87 million
72. People who are addicted to playing lotteries should__________.[来源:学,科,网Z,X,X,K]
A) join a support group B) get rid of the habit
C) win the lottery D) save every cent
73.The main idea of the passage is that__________.
A) lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them
B) playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market
C) many people buy lottery tickets , but lotteries cause disagreement
D) lotteries are nothing but legalized vice
74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A) Politicians don't like lotteries because they like to pay extra taxes.
B) The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress.
C) Some critics don't like lotteries because many poor people waste money on them.
D) People love the lottery because it is a stock market.

There are spicy food lovers all around the world. A lot of people desire to have spicy foods in their daily life. In China, we love hot peppers (辣椒), fiery-hot chicken wings and we put spicy seasonings (调味品) on top of just about everything. Thankfully, spicy foods are generally good for us.
They do more than add flavor(调味) to your I favourite meals.Spicy foods are good for your heart. People who regularly eat foods rich in spice are less likely to experience a heart attack or stroke (中风). Chili peppers (红辣椒) provides three times more vitamin C than oranges. The unique chili pepper heat comes from a component called capsaicin (辣椒素) which helps lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduces inflammation (炎症). Spicy foods also help prevent cancer. Capsaicin has been found to kill some cancer cells, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Turmeric (姜黄), which is the main spice in curry, has been shown to help slow down the spread of certain cancer cells.
Spicy foods can even help you lose weight. After eating something spicy, you burn more calories than if you were to have eaten something bland (清淡). Also, studies show that spicy foods leave you feeling more satisfied than their non-spicy eaters. This means you're more likely to stick to your diet and not overeat. Try adding some hot sauce to your next meal and see if you notice a difference.
Spicy foods also have other benefits. They can lighten your mood, making you feel happier. In addition, they can fight symptoms of the common cold by helping you work up a sweat. In fact, "spicy" is a burning feeling that you have on the surface of your tongue. That some people can stand spicy food is because their tongues have become less sensitive to it. If you can not handle the fiery heat, try to build up a tolerance (耐受力) gradually. Drinking milk or other milk drinks such as yogurt can "coat your tongue" and help you cool down after a spicy meal.
If you happen to be a spicy food lover, congratulations! Don" t hesitate to include spicy foods in your balanced diet!
