27、erhaps, himself more than ample, knows only too well how little provision our society makes for such people. Even the daily round provides numerous problems and snags. There are few pieces of clothing that can be bought off the peg, seats in cinemas or theatres are a subtle sort of torture only part
28、ially relieved by the rarity of good performance, and home furniture is hopelessly inadequate(imagine a fat person moving among a houseful of delicate antique chairs!). Then there is the problem of having a bath; the standard size of bathtub just does not allow a fat person to take up a horizontal p
29、osition but demands of a grotesque squat reminiscent of his simian ancestry. In todays world, however, these are minor worries in a culture where slimness has become a fetish and all things desirable come to the person with a sylph-like figure. Especially in women, this attribute is a must if they a
30、re to compete on anything like equal terms with their contemporaries in the marriage market.The fact that slimness is not necessarily either an ideal condition from a physiological point of view or a natural characteristic is of little comfort to the fat man or woman living in our present society ob
31、sessed by thinness. This fashion has been just another facet of the desire for conformity; we have charts showing correct weights for each height, and there are whole counters in many shops given over to the display of non-fattening foods. The fat person is doubly unfortunate in that he cannot hide
32、his non-conformity, unlike so many of us who have perhaps more subtle forms of eccentricity. In those cases where fatness is the result of over-eating, it is, of course, a reaction to some form of inner conflict and a much less harmful one than, say, alcoholism, drug addiction or suicide. Where the
33、excess weight is due to some disorder of the body, the person so afflicted is an all-round loser, for not only has he a physical illness to cope with but is mocked for having it by many people who should know better.Perhaps fashion will eventually change to allow an ample frame to become acceptable,
34、 but at present it seems that the pencil-slim models of the fashion salons are in safe jobs.61 The author says that the present society_.（A）doesnt give any good food to overweight people（B） provides for fat people when they are ill（C） doesnt recognize the needs of fat people（D）makes ample provision
35、for fat people62 What is the special problem of women in this matter?（A）There are many competitions for slimming.（B） It is necessary to be slim to be acceptable.（C） Contemporary fashion dictates their shape.（D）Slimness and fatness are equally prevalent.63 It is of no comfort to the fat person that_.
36、（A）obesity is not always a physiological problem（B） fatness gives a person a comfortable character（C） slimness is a condition imposed by society（D）slimness is not always an ideal condition64 A fat person is especially unfortunate because_.（A）he is too big to hide（B） everyone can see his fatness（C） i
37、t is impossible for him to conform（D）he looks so different from many others65 According to the author, over-eating is_.（A）similar to other desires（B） a harmless habit（C） the result of some inner unrest（D）a disorder of the body65 Around the corner from the Dwight D. Eisenhower presidential library in
38、 Abilene, Kansas, is the Museum of Independent Telephony. Its 20, 000 visitors a year see a bewildering collection, ranging from wooden wall phones, “ candlestick“ phones and old pay phones, to switchboards and a reconstructed operators lair. Despite their years, some of the artifacts continue to wo
39、rk as interactive exhibits.The museum has been receiving more than usual interest in recent years, for Abilene has become a focus for a new American phenomenon. In this age of modems, mobiles and voice mail, Americans are going all gooey over old phones.The ancient railroad town has arguably become
40、the antique phone center of Americathe Antique Telephone Collectors Association is also headquartered in Abilene. It owes its status partly to the generosity of the Sprint Corporation, a telecommunications giant which funds the museum because someone called C. L. Brown founded the company there many
41、 years ago.Ironically, a big factor in the birth of the old phone market has been the Internet. It has allowed enthusiasts to link up with like-minded souls thousands of miles away. “There are too few collectors to form local organizations of any size, but the Internet has been a wonderful way for p
42、eople to connect, “ says Karen Poza, who two years ago joined the ranks of collectors. “We collectors are like vultures, “says Paul Wiltfong of Lenexa, Kansas, a construction worker who has collected some 14, 000 items since 1981.Auction websites like eBay offer a lively marketplace for the buying a
43、nd selling of old phones and switchboards. Many vintage phones now cost between $500 and $1, 000, with a few exceptional ones running into five figures. The most popular collectable phones tend to be the ones that people remember using themselves. For instance, interest in early 20th century wooden
44、wall phonesonce the most popular modelshas waned because fewer people are now alive who remember using them.One aspect of older phones that attracts aficionados is their reliability. Back in the days when the phone companynot the consumerowned most phones, it was in the companys interest to provide
45、durable machines that cut down on repair trips. Many collectors actually use the rotary-dial phones that they buy. Indeed, many old models are still compatible with current phone networks. “Theres no such thing as an unfixable phone, “ says Steve Hill who repairs phones and writes troubleshooting gu
46、ides for old-phone users.Dealers say that some of the new buys in the market are people who have decorated their houses in retro styles and need “era-appropriate“phones. Indeed, some upmarket retailers are already serving this market by reproducing the old-fashioned designs. How long will it be befo
47、re they end up in Abilene?66 What practical purposes do some old phones displayed in the Museum serve?67 What contributed a lot to the popularity of old phones?68 Why does Paul, the construction worker, draw an analogy between collectors and vultures?69 What phones are most expensive?70 Why were old
48、 phones intended to stay in service longer than todays phones?70 Potatoes free of blemishes, vegetables that can stand up better to shipping and fish that grow 11 times faster than normal. These are some of the wonders food engineers are creating in their laboratories. But not all consumers are eager to dig into this cornucopia. They query: Are these genetically engineered marvels really safe to eat? Are they being foisted on unsuspecting customers without proper warning?Governments
