　　Northern Europeans spend a lot of time in their cold and cloudy winters planning their summer holidays. They are proud of their healthy color when they return home after the holiday. But they also know that a certain amount of sunshine is good for their bodies and general health.

　　In ancient Greece people knew about the curing powers of the sun, but this knowledge was lost. At the end of the nineteenth century a Danish doctor, Niels Finsen, began to study the effect of sunlight on certain diseases, especially diseases of the skin. He was interested not only in natural sunlight but also in man-made produced rays. Sunlight began to play a more important part in curing sick people.

　　A Swiss doctor, Auguste Rollier, made full use of the sun in his hospital at Leysin. Leysin is a small village high up in the Alps. The position is important, the rays of the sun with the greatest healing power are the infra-red (红外线的) and ultraviolet (紫外线的) rays; but ultra-violet rays are too easily lost in fog and the polluted air near industrial towns. Dr. Rollier found that sunlight, fresh air and good food cure a great many diseases. He was particularly successful in curing certain forms of tuberculosis(结核病) with his "sun-cure".

　　There were a large number of children in Dr. Rollier's hospital. He decided to start a school where sick children could be cured and at the same time continue to learn. It was not long before his school was full.

　　In winter, wearing only shorts, socks and boots, the children put on their skis after breakfast and left the hospital. They carried small desks and chairs as well as their school books. Their teacher led them over the snow until they reached a slope (斜坡)which faced the sun and was free from cold winds. There they set out their desks and chairs, and school began.

　　Although they wore hardly any clothes, Rollier's pupils were very seldom cold. That was because their bodies were full of energy which they got from the sun. But the doctor knew that sunshine can also be dangerous. If, for example, tuberculosis is attacking the lungs, unwise sunbathing may do great harm.

　　Today there is not just one school in the sun. There are several in Switzerland, and since Switzerland is not the only country which has the right conditions, there are similar schools in other places.

　　69. According to the passage, when did people began to realize sunlight played a more important part in the treatment of disease?

　　A. From ancient times. B. At the end of the nineteenth century.

　　C. Not until this century. D. Only very recently.

　　70. Why are a Danish doctor and a Swiss doctor mentioned in the second and third paragraphs?

　　A. Because they both made use of sunlight to treat illness.

　　B. Because they were the first people who used sunlight for treatment.

　　C. Because they were both famous European doctors.

　　D. Because they used sunlight in very different ways.

　　71. Dr Rollier set up a “sun-cure” school probably for the reason that.

　　A. most children could stay in his hospital

　　B. children could study while being treated

　　C. the school was expected to be full of pupils

　　D. the school was high up in the mountains

　　72. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?

　　A. “Sun-cure” schools are becoming popular everywhere.

　　B. Switzerland is the only country where “sun-cure” schools are popular.

　　C. Proper Conditions are necessary for the running of a “sun-cure” school.

　　D. “Sun-cure” schools are found in countries

　　Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy(嫉妒) of the emptiest- headed chatterbox(喋喋不休的人). He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure(蜡塑人像).

　　The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito(蚊子)? But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.

　　Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are satisfied if they are only allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove(证明) themselves to be successful conservationists.
