“Pick for me, then．” I said．
He looked up and down at me as though measuring me for a suit．After a moment, he nodded, and handed me a dark red book, fairly thick．
“The Last of the Just,” I read．“By Andre Schwarz-Bart．What’s it about?”
“You tell me,” he said．“Next week．”
I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared．Translated from French, the language was beautiful, simple, impossible to resist．When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, read all through the night．
To this day, thirty years later, I clearly remember the experience．It was my first meeting with world literature, and I was amazed by the strong power a novel contain．I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words, so the next week, when Mr. Ballou asked,“Well?”I only replied, “It was good．”
“Keep it, then,”he said．“Shall I suggest another?”
I nodded, and was presented with Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa.
To make the story short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for helping cut his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthroplogy(人类学)at Dartmouth College．That summer when I started to read became a turning point in my life which change the course of all that followed．

It’s about the size of a small slim upside down goat, if you can imagine such a thing．The sloth really is not only one of the laziest, but one of the strangest of the strangest of mammals．It spends most of its life asleep．But even when it’s awake, it only moves very slowly．
There are two main kinds defined by the number of toes that they have on their font legs．It’s the three-toed which has really slothful habits, and the one that interests me most．You’re not likely to have seen it in zoos, for unlike the two-toed which will rat all kinds of vegetables and fruits,, the three-toed is really picky and will only accept leaves and fruits of a few particular kinds, which few zoos can supply．And in any case, it doesn’t make an exactly fascinating exhibit, since it spends most of its tile sleeping．
When the skins and skeletons of this extraordinary beast reaches Europe, artists given the task of illustrating the species in natural history books, showed it standing upright on its four thin legs, even though thee hooks on its feet and the fur on its body all pointed very obviously in what you might call the wrong way．After all, the artists must have said to themselves, it would be too ridiculous to show it as animal that spent all its life upside down．
Sloths are only capable of a faint wheeze and occasional whistle．These sounds are probably only made to deter a meat-eater like a lion, and certainly not to communicate with one another, for sloths are virtually stone deaf．It’s said that an enthusiastic zoologist investigating the hearing ability of sloths fired his gun close to one．It slowly raised its head, blinked at the scientist, and then went back to sleep again．
64．Which of the following word best describes a sloth?
A．unimaginable B．unfaithful C．inactive D．endangered
65．The difference of the two main kinds of sloth lies in that ．
A．their toes are of different shapes B．a two-toed sloth will not eat fruits
C．the three-toed is generally lazier D．it’s harder to capture a three-toed sloth
66．The underlines word“one”refers to ．
A．one o’clock B．one gun shot C．A sloth D．one scientist
67．The experiment of an enthusiastic zoologist shows that ．
A．how slow a sloth can be B．sloths have very poor hearing
C．sloths are sleepy all the time D．sloths are not easily disturbed
D
There’s no shortage of web sites offering deals-everything from daily deals to members-only private sales．But when it comes to real jaw-dropping deals, there’s one company that seems to have figured out a out a way to really deliver．
The company is called QuiBids and they auction (拍卖)the hottest, in-demand electronics like Apple ipads and ipods, as well as other items like gift cards from the top retailers（零售商）．Unlike other sites, the prices people pay are nowhere near retail．How low are the prices?
$33.84 for a new Apple ipad 32 GB(retail $600)
$22.10 for a new Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera(
