the Baltic Sea, he’s received an answer.

saw something glittering lying in the sand.
“I saw that bottle and it looked interesting, ” Korotkikh told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It looked like a German beer bottle with a ceramic plug, and there was a message inside.”
His father, who knows a little German, translated the letter. It said：“My name is Frank , and
I’m five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find thes letter, please write back to me , and I will write back to you.”
The letter, dated 1987,included an address in the town of Coesfeld.

would not have survived in the water all that time,” he said. He believed it bad been hidden under the sand where he found it .
In the web chat earlier this month, Uesbek gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and
promised to write back when he receives his letter.

Passage 2
Today ,many people are starving to death. There is a shortage of food and the available food
is too expensive for hungry people to buy . Therefore , they go without food, or each day have only one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health.
Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an
experiment . He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.
During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had dunk a
glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening, when he ate his one meal,he ate auickly and consumed a large amount. During the next few days, although he was not hungry during the day , he quickly noticed every food stall, and the smelt of food caught his attention.

Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.

pastime, it also gave him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people who threw away lefover food.

Passage 3
A college education is not just preparation for a career, however. In addition to taking
courses in their major field of study, students enroll in elective courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about people, nature, government, or the arts. Well-rounded people are likely to be better citizens, better parents and more interesing and interested individuals.
Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college,
recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the classroom, either for new vocational skills or for personal growth. In 1966, for example, almost 20% of American college students were over age 35. Some 500,000 college students are over 50. American faith in the value of education is exemplified by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor’s degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for the wealthy and the academically talented. It is available to any one who wants to go. Right now about 15million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academically prepared to handle college-level work, about 80% of undergraduate schools offer remedial ( sometimes called developmental ) classes in reading, writing, and math.
The U. S. has about 3,700 institutions of higher learning. About 1,600 of these are
2-year schools. More than 2,000 are 4-year schools, many of which also have graduate programs. With so many colleges to choose from, how do prospective students find the right one for hteir nedds? Information about schools is easy to obtain. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can also use computer programs that allow them to specify particular interests and print out a list of schools that fit their description.
Most institutions of higher learning also have web sites. Many schools send college
representatives to high school and two-year colleges to secruit students. Finally, many students visit college, take tours of campuses, and talk to counselors.

Passage 4
A man from New York is suing four big fast-food companies. Caesar Barber is going to
court because he says that high-fat foods at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and KFC Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight. According to Mr. Barber,
obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes (糖尿病), high blood pressure, and, two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often, he said,“I was single, it was quick, and I’m not a very good cook.”
Barber’s lawyer, Samuel Hirsch, says that the suit has two different purposes. The first
is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning labels similar to labels on cigarettes Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin.
Two others may soon join Barber’s suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retired
nurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week since 1975. She says that this habit has caused several health problems, including high blood pressure. Isreal Bradley,59,said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high blood pressure and diabetes.
Officals of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action, National Restaurant
Association representative Katharine Kim called it ridiculous. KFC spokeswoman Amy Sherwood claimed KFC offers several kind of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson agreed that the suit had little chance of success. He said that people were free to make different choices.
Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that Americans have a weight
problem. Medical experts say that obesity will soon be America’s number one killed. They have encouraged fast-food companies to offer healthier foods.

To Learn or to Practice?
Some people think college students should often take part in school practical work such as all kinds of contests and sports,others hold the main task of students is learning ,Students shouldn’t pay too much attention to practical work.
Those who are often doing practical work say that these activities provide students good chances to meet more people and make more friends.Moreover,by doing practical work at shool or in the society,students can learn many things that are not taught by textbooks.However,many other people hold the opposite opinion.They think practical work will occupy much time and influence students’study.Besides,school activities are juet for fun,and they are not worth too much time and energy.
As for me,I like to take part in practical work and I have benefited a lot form doing the practical work.First,I have made many good friends in clubs.What’s more,by attending club activities,Ihave enhanced my ability of dealing with different people and situations,But of course,I haven’t neglected my syudies.For me,practical work are only part of my school life and serve to help me study better.
It is very important for us to lean how to combine theoty with practice.When we learn knowledge from books,we should keep its possible practical use in mind,because life-long learning is necessary to everyone in this changing society.
