Passage 3
Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called “vitamins (维生素).” Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify (识别) them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with (与……有关) a lack of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, for example, is thought to increase significantly our susceptibility (易感性) to colds and influenza (流感).
The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a
variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted (限定) diet, say when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to have a special supply to make up the missing vitamins.
Another example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as “beriberi” (脚气病), from which large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice used to suffer very much. In the early years of this century, a Dutch (荷兰的) scientist called Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beriberi. At first he thought it was transmitted by a germ (细菌). He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on rice which had had the outer husk (外壳) removed from the grain. It was thought that this would be easier for weak, sick people to digest.

A. cause identical diseases
B. are not serious except in the case of Vitamin C
C. cause different diseases

【
A. do not contain any kind of vitamin
B. decrease our resistance to diseases C. contain every kind of vitamin

A. normally contains enough vitamins for a healthy body B. still needs supplementing with vitamins

Part B
Directions: This passage is about how the writer faced the frustration (挫折) in his life. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it. (10 points)
~
I worked my way up the presidency (总裁) of the Ford Motor Company. When I finally got there, I was
on the top of the world. But then fate said to me, “Wait, we're not finished with you. Now you're going to find out what it feels like to get kicked off from the top.”
On July 13, 1978, I was fired. I had been president of Ford for eight years and a Ford employee for thirty-two. I had never worked anywhere else. And now suddenly, I was out of job.
As you go through life, there are thousands of little forks in the road, and there are a few really big forks—those moments of thinking, moments of truth. This was mine as I wondered what to do. Should I pack it all in (完全放弃) and retire I was fifty-four years old. I had already accomplished a great deal. I was financially secure. But that just didn't feel right. I knew I had to carry on.
A few months later, I became the president of Chrysler, a company which was almost bankrupt at that time. Fortunately, Chrysler recovered (复原). Today I'm a hero. With strong will, with luck, and with help from lots of good people, I was able to rise up from the ashes.
