Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting.She made an appearance in"Austin Power 3"this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003.In this movie,she has a starring role.
For Britney,acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (熱心的) about it all.If her movies are successful,her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love,not the money,as she herself tells the reporters.

20.The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water(一片汪洋) which separates England and France.Ferries(擺渡) operate all year round to carry people across the Channel,and they are busy most of the year.January is the only quiet month nowadays.As well as summer holiday-makers,there are day trippers and coach traffic,not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles.Some ferries carry cars and their passengers,while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network.
The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind.The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day.Or they sometimes get gale(大風(fēng)) warnings from local radio station.
Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon,according to one ferryboat captain.The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic.This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe.There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time,and they all pass through a"choke point"which is only fifteen miles (twenty-five kilometers) wide.The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic.

25.The passage is mainly concerned withC.
A.the English Channel          
B.the weather on the Channel
C.cross-channel ferries         
D.what crossing the Channel by ferry is like
26.The word hazard  is closest in meaning toB.
A.trouble       B.danger      
C.enemy         D.problem
27.We can infer from the passage thatA.
A.if there is a gale warning from the BBC,the ferries will stop operating.
B.the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winter
C.ferries are busiest in the afternoon
D.the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day

4.Organic food,grown without artificial chemicals,is increasingly popular nowadays.Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels.However,if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritiousand safer product,you might want to save your money.A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious,and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria,either.
The latest results,published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine,suggest that buyers may be wasting their money."We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,"says Dr.Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford."So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer."
For their new study,Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research,including 17studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products,and 223studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods,including key vitamins,minerals and fats.
While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content,they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces.Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards.And both organic and traditional meats,such as chicken and pork,were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates.The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3fatty acids,a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease.However,these nutritional differences were too small,and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.
Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices,but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product.The U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that"whether you buy organic or not,finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste."Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.
12.The new research questions whether organic foodD.
A.should replace traditional food
B.has been overpriced by farmers
C.is grown with less harmful chemicals
D.is really more nutritious and healthier
13.Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found thatC.
A.organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease
B.traditional food was grown with more natural methods
C.both organic and traditional food they examined were safe
D.there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food
14.Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?B
A.Organic chicken and pork.
B.Organic milk and chicken.
C.Traditional chicken and pork.
D.Traditional fruit and vegetables.
15.What is the author's attitude toward organic food?A
A.Sceptical.B.Neutral.C.Unconcerned.D.Approving.

5.Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks'time.Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year.If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry,those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down.Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert.Bit by bit,the dunes grow over the years,always moving with the winds and changing the shape.Most of them are only a few feet tall,but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
 There is,however,much more to a desert than sand.In the deserts of the southwestern United States,cliffs (懸崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay under a sea more than millions of years ago.Over the centuries,the water dried up.Wind,sand,rain,heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks.The faces of the desert mountains are always changing--very,very slowly---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life.There are plants,animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert.During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things,but as the air begins to cool in the evening,the desert comes to life.As the sun begins to rise again in the sky,the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
28.Many plants may survive in deserts whenD.
A.it is dry all the year round    
B.the rain falls only in a few weeks
C.there is little rain in a year         
D.the rain is spread out in a year
29.Sand dunes are formed whenA.
A.sand piles up little by little             
B.there is plenty of rain in a year
C.the sea has dried up over the years    
D.pieces of rock get smaller
30.The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there isD.
A.too much sand              
B.more sand than before
C.nothing except sand          
D.something else besides sand
31.It can be learned from the text that in a desertB.
A.there is no rainfall throughout the year
