Today's Question: What do you do to keep yourself fit?
Fred Jenkins, age 52, office manger
"When I was in college I used to play sports like baseball. But I can't do that
now, so I try to play golf every weekend. I spend Mondays through Fridays 1
sitting at my desk in a smoky office, so I like to get outside in the fresh air and
move around for a few hours on Saturday or Sunday. I wish I had time to play
golf 2 . "
Annie Franklin, age 37, dentist
"I exercise. When the 3 is OK, I go jogging in the early morning almost
every day. It's fun and it makes me feel fresh all day. I used to dream of running a
marathon, but I guess that would be too much for me. In the winter it's hard to
get up early and I don't feel 4 running in the dark, so I usually jump rope and
lift weights before breakfast. "
John Lee, age 44, high school math teacher
"I'm on my feet most of the day, so I have no weight problem. But I'm not as
strong as I used to be and I often feel tired. I have so much work to do at home
every night—papers to grade and lessons to 5 —that I just can't find time to
exercise. I'm worried about my health, 6 . Last summer I gave up smoking
and next month I'm going to buy an exercise machine. I'm looking forward to
that. "
Eleanor Goh, age 29, air traffic controller
"I enjoy yoga. My job has a lot of stress. Sometimes I have to work all night.
One little 7 can cause a big accident and kill hundreds of people. Yoga
relaxes me. I can do it any time, any place, and don't need any special 8 like
balls, rackets, gloves, or clubs. "

Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案):
There once was a farmer whose saffron crop was destroyed by fire. The
farmer had to go to a moneylender to borrow money in order to buy seed for
another crop. Unfortunately this second crop was destroyed by a flood. The
farmer couldn't pay back the loan, so the moneylender took him to court.
The farmer hired one of the best lawyers in the district. The lawyer asked
him many questions and then said," Your case is hopeless. You've borrowed
money that you cannot pay back. The judge will probably send you to jail.
However, if you do what I say, I think I can persuade the judge to cancel the loan.
"
"Of course I'll do as you say," the farmer said.
"Good," the lawyer said. "I want half of your farm as my fee, if I get you off. "
This was a very high fee, but the farmer agreed, and the lawyer told him
what to say and how to behave in court.
The day of the trial arrived. The judge asked the farmer many questions. To
every question the farmer answered with one word," Saffron. "
Then the lawyer stood up. "The destruction—twice—of my client's crop has
affected his mind," he told the judge. "He is not fit to stand trial. "
The judge agreed and canceled the loan.
After the trial, the lawyer said to the farmer," Now what about my fee? "
"Saffron," the farmer replied. "Saffron. "
1.Why did the farmer borrow money?
A.To buy more saffron.
B.To buy seed for another crop.
C.To pay back a loan.
D.To pay his lawyer.
