In Germany, English expressions are used in conversations and increasingly in written form. Advertisements are often expressed completely in English. When I go to the gym, there are “aerobic-classes (增氧健身法課程)”. We “warm up”. We go “jogging.” In business, we attend a “meeting” and we have “good connections.”

Other nations, like France, have taken action to protect their language from the influence of “Americanization”. In Germany, however, there is concern that those rules could be connected with Hitler’s Third Reich (帝國), when the language had to be pure. If the government curbed（限制）the use of English words now, this could be considered by some as a return to that terrible past.

Some German citizens are now trying to stop the use of English vocabulary in German. However, I think generally it is not a big deal to use some common English expressions as they often describe things more directly. But we should know that it is important to use English correctly. All too often, bad English is spoken or even written instead of good German. The proper use of the German language would be the better choice. However, there are some fields that require the use of English words, for example, in the high-tech communication and the Internet fields, there is no alternative to English. Also, I think sometimes I have to speak English when I introduce some scenic places to tourists.

I think you have to find a balance and decide when it is better to use good German in place of bad English or when the use of correct English words is more suitable. Languages have always changed naturally, and I disagree with a restriction by law. Some nice expressions borrowed from other languages can make a conversation more vivid.

I was caught in the war and put to prison．I was sure that I was to be killed，I became  terribly nervous．I reached in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes(香煙)，which had   36__ their search．I found one and because of my  37  hands，I could only get it to my lips.But I had no  38 ．

          I looked   39  the bars(鐵欄)at my jailer(獄警)．He did not make eye contact with me．I called out to him,“Have you got a light?” He looked at me，and came over to  40  my cigarette．

      As he came close and lit the match，his eyes met with mine．At that moment，I smiled I don't know  41  I did that，Perhaps it was  42  ，perhaps it was because，when you get very close，one to another，it is very hard not to  43  ．In any case，I smiled．It was   44   a spark(火花)jumped across the distance between our two hearts．I know he didn't want to，but my smile jumped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips．He lit my cigarette but stayed near，looking at me  45_ in the eyes and continuing to smile．

     I kept smiling at him，now   46  of him as a person and not just a jailer．And his looking at me seemed to have a new   47 ，too．“Do you have kids?” he asked．

    “Yes，here，here．”I took out my wallet and nervously searched for the pictures of my family．He, too，took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his  48  and hopes for them．My eyes were filled with   49  ．w*w^w.k&s#5@u.c~o*mI said that I feared that I'd never see my family again，never have the chance to see them grow up．Tears came to his eyes，too．

     Suddenly，  50   ，he unlocked my cell(牢房)and silently led me out．Out of the prison，quietly and by   51  routes，out of the town．There，at the edge of town，he set me   52  ．And without another word，he turned back toward the town．

     My life was  53  by a smile．

     Yes, the smile—the unaffected，unplanned，natural connection between people．I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could   54  each other，we wouldn’t be enemies．We couldn’t have  55 or envy or fear．

Did you get a flu shot this year? For the first time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US is recommending that all children ages 6 months through 18 years receive the flu vaccine.

Vaccines battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. A weakened form of the germ is introduced into the body. The body makes special substances called antibodies to fight the germs. If the actual germs were to attack, the antibodies would fight them.

Because there are many kinds of flu viruses, scientists must create a new vaccine formula (配方) each year. Researchers must make a prediction.

“The flu vaccine is not as effective as the polio (小兒麻痹癥) vaccine or the measles(麻疹) vaccine,” says Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

“It’s not a great vaccine, but it is quite a good vaccine.”

But a flu vaccine doesn’t work for everyone. There are certain people who should be careful about taking it. Because the vaccine is produced from eggs, those who are allergic (過敏的) to eggs should not take it. If you have a fever, you should wait until you recover.

Some people are afraid that they might get the flu from the flu shot. Scientist say that it is not possible, because the viruses in the flu shot are inactivated (滅活的). But some minor side effects such as low-grade fever and body aches could occur. If they do, they begin soon after the shot and usually last only one to two days.

B. An antibody is a germ that is introduced into the body

C. An antibody is a vaccine that fights diseases.

A. scientists should change the vaccine formula each year

B. vaccines can battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses

C. all children ages 6 months through 18 years can receive the flu vaccine

D. scientists are responsible for the side effects of the flu vaccine

63. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. The flu vaccine        B. Side effects of the flu vaccine

C. How to prevent the flu  D. Not everyone can get the flu shot

Sitting in a dark movie theater with your friends and a tub of buttery popcorn sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday night—and it could be, if you are willing to share your popcorn with the entire row of moviegoers around you. A review of the nutritional contents of movie-theater popcorn reveals an alarming amount of fat, salt and calories in even the smallest sizes. The study, mad by Dr. Nestle from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, checked popcorn from three movie theater chains and detailed The contents of all parts offered.

A large tub of popcorn at Regal Cinemas, for example, holds 20 cups of popcorn and has 1,200 calories, 980 milligrams of sodium（鈉）and 60 grams of saturated（飽和）fat.

Not so hungry? The medium size popcorn, which comes in a bag, contains the same amount as the large. And even the small, at 1l cups, delivers 670 calories 550 milligranis of sodium 24 grams of saturated fat.

The findings may surprise those who choose popcorn at the concession stand（貨攤） because they believe it is a relatively healthy snack. In fact, plain air-popped popcorn is low in calories and free of saturated fat. Movie theater popcorn, however, is popcorn, however, is popped in oil — often coconut oil, which is 90 percent saturated fat. Add salt to the enormous portions（部分）,and your once-healthy snack turns into a health killer.

Even the “healthiest” sample of popcorn tested, a small size from AMC containing 6 cups of popcorn, had 370 calories, enough to share with a friend, eating one grain at a time to make it last the length of a movie.

The third movie theater chain tested. Cinemark, is slightly better than its competitors because it pops its popcorn in non-hydrogenated canola oil instead of coconut oil. Cinemark’s large tub contains 17 cups of popcorn with 910 calories and 4 grams of saturated fat, as well as up to 1,500 milligrams of sodium — nearly enough for the entire day.

One way to make your popcorn healthier? Ask the theater to pop a portion without salt. Two of the movie theaters that had their popcorn tested said they would oblige such a request. The best way to make your movie snack healthier, however, would be to skip the popcorn — and the concession stand — altogether.

“You could share a tub of popcorn with 10 friends.” Dr. Nestle said. “Or, what a concept, watch the movie without eating anything.”
