Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper very day. Most people only read the sports pages, the advice or gossip columns(漫谈专栏), and perhaps the advertisements. Most people don't take time to read the real news. Newspaper editors(编辑) say that their readers are lazy. They say they try to catch reader's interest with pictures and exciting headlines(标题). This technology is used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts readers and encourages readers to look through the rest of paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headlines that make you stop and look. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper any more. They say they get the news on the television now.
  Most people watch the television news because it is easier and more interesting than read a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you watch the news on television? Would you mind if there was no news?

Watching some children trying to catch butterflies(蝴蝶) one August afternoon, I thought of my own story happened four years ago when I was a boy of twelve, which made me never put any living creature(生物) in a cage.
We lived near a forest, every evening the mockingbirds(嘲鸫) would come and rest in the trees and sing. There wasn't a musical instrument(乐器) made by man that could produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird. I decided to catch a young one and keep it in a cage and in that way I would have my own musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, being frightened, the bird flew about the cage, but finally it became quiet in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and waited for some beautiful songs from my little musician.
On the second day, my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning I was terribly surprised to find the bird on the floor of the cage, dead.! What had happened! I had taken very good care of it, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, who happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained "A mother mockingbird, finding her baby in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous berries(毒草梅). She thinks it better for her baby to die than to live in captivity(囚禁)."
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live freely.
56. The writer caught a mockingbird for himself because he _____________.

58. An ornithologist is probably a person who ______________.
   A. studies birds    B. is a vet    C. protects forest   D. is a children's doctor
59. From the passage we know that ______________________.
   A. the bird's mother didn't like people
B. a mockingbird can not sing in a cage
   C. the writer now is eighteen years old  
D. a mockingbird can make beautiful sounds

   A. nothing is more important than freedom (自由)
   B. baby birds can't live without their mothers
   C. lives are more important than freedom
   D. children should learn to feed birds well

    Some scientists have shown that perhaps 8% of all human illnesses have relations(有关) with food, and 40% of cancer also has relations with food. Different illnesses are caused by different kinds of food.
    That food has connections with illness is not a new finding. More than 35 years ago, scientists realized that nitrates and additives(色素和添加剂) in food caused cancer. Yes, these things stay in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels(包装标签) of the food are more helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin(青霉素) to living animals when they are ill, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes certain kinds of medicine are given to animals not for medical use, but for making more money. The farmers are simply trying to make the animals fat so that they can get a higher price on the market. Although the government(政府) has tried to stop this from happening, the practice continue.

   A. illness and health            B. cancer and medicine    
C. food and illness             D. medicine and health

   D. Scientists have known the danger of food additives for over 35 years.
63. Penicillin is given to a cow to__________________.
   A. make it fatter    B. produce more milk    C. make it grow fast   D. treat its illness
64. From the passage we know that ____________________.
   A. people can easily find harmful things in food
   B. illness caused by polluted food has been prevented
   C. some possible harmful things have been put into food
   D. farmers don't know how to made animals fatter and fatter
65. Medicine is not allowed to be used to make the animals fat, ______________.
