B.阅读短文，根据短文内容，从所给的六个选项中选出可以填入空白处的选项，使短文意思完整、连贯。（有两项为多余选项） Passage 4 The book that can't wait One problem a lot of people have with books is that they buy them and then never read them. 42 It printed a book in disappearing ink: the text of the book disappears two months after the special package（盒）of the book is opened. It encourages buyers to read it before it goes away. People call this “he book that can't wait”. 43 The publisher（出版社）sold out all the first edition at a bookstore in one day, and received“thousands of requests（请求）”for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of media coverage（媒体报道）. As a result,the publisher is planning to publish other works in disappearing ink now. 44 But here, we have some suggestions: First,the book should start disappearing after the reader opens the book for the first time. If the books become very popular in the future, readers will need to read them one at a time. They don't want their books to disappear before they read the frist page.

In Japan, people use landmarks(地面标志性建筑物）in their directions_59 most streets don't have names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers,"Go straight ahead and turn left at the hotel. The post office is across from the bus stop." In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are no towns or buildings in many places.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and _60.In Kansas,for example,people will say,"Go north two miles(英里）.

Ⅵ.阅读理解（二）（本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat,and foods like pizzas,pasta,burgers and chips are always mentioned.Many young people would probably also list the local fast-food restaurant as their favorite place. But what teenagers lik e to eat is not necessarily what they should eat.For a growing body,eating foods with plenty of calcium(钙),such as milk,yoghurt and cheese,is important because calcium is essential for the development of healthy,strong bones(骨头).Similarly,foods that are rich in iron(铁) are good for developing bodies,so it's good for them to eat red meat,bread and green vegetables. Lifestyle habits can be developed during our teenage years,so it is greatly important that young people are educated about what foods are good.In 2005,in order to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes,a cook named Jamie Oliver started a “Feed Me Better” project.He worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy school meals.Although some teenagers and parents refused to have a try at first,the project was generally a huge success.The newspapers wrote articles about him and a TV program showed his visits to the schools. No on expects to end the teenage love with fast and junk food,but,hopefully,if projects like “Feed Me Better”continue to give o ut the right messages,more young people will understand the importance of eating healthily. 64.What problem do teenagers in the UK have? 65.Why are milk and bread healthy foods? 66.Why is it important to educate people during their teenage years? 67.Did Jamie Oliver improve school dinners successfully? 68.In order to help teenagers,what does the writer expect people to do?
