Clumbus made fur vyages t the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain（徒劳的）search fr a sea rute t Asia. The mystery f why he failed t find it haunted（萦绕心头的） him and filled him with sadness.

When Clumbus explred the West Indies in 1493,he heard tales f a fierce Indian tribe（凶狠的印第安部落） wh literally devured（吞食） its defeated enemies after a battle. These peple were called by many names in the area, including Calina, Canima, Carib, and Caniba. Clumbus recrded the name f the American natives as Canibales in Spanish, a wrd which came t refer, within a few years, t any eater f human flesh（食人部落,食人族）.In the similar fashin, the wrd Caribbean, a title fr the sea as well as fr the regin, came int English.

Cmpulsive（强迫的）shppers may have a new psychlgical excuse t blame fr their wild shpping. Psychlgists at the University f Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shp-till-yu-drp” habit as a behaviral disrder similar t cmpulsive eating. Cmpulsive shppers frequently buy mre than they can affrd r mre than they need, and it causes them distress(苦恼).
“It becmes a prblem when yu are ut f cntrl,” psychlgy lecturer Neville Blampied said. “When yu are feeling bad and blue, what d yu d? Sme peple eat chclate cake and ice cream. Sme peple take the credit card and g ut t the shp.” Bank managers understand the prblem because they have t deal with peple wh have t be persuaded t stp using their cards drawing mney.
Cmpulsive shpping was first discvered in 1915, althugh it was then knwn as mnmania. Few studies have been dne n the prblem.
An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling fr peple t take part in an experimental treatment prgram designed by Mr. Wilsn, attracted 10 replies. But the prblem, said Mr. Wilsn, is “clearly nt rare”. He thinks that cmpulsive shpping shuld be treated with drugs. “As psychlgists we are interested in nn-drug treatments fr behaviral difficulties,” Mr. Wilsn said.
Cmpulsive eaters r shppers get a kick frm their habit. “Bth activities prvide an immediate kind f kick and yu feel a bit better,” he said. “Yu have lng-term prblems, but human beings are extremely gd at nt seeing lng-term prblems and are very sensitive t shrt-term benefits,” he said.
The aim f the treatment was t help peple find better ways f managing their emtins. The prgram, cnsisting f 10 ne-hur weekly lessns and tw fllw-up treatments, is lsely based n teaching stress management.
“Yu ften have t start t get peple t crrectly recgnize their emtins. Nt being able t knw what yu really feel weakens yur ability t slve the prblems cnnected with what’s making yu feel that way,” Mr. Wilsn said.
69. What is this article mstly abut?
A. Signs f cmpulsive shpping. B. Studies f cmpulsive shpping.
C. cmparisn f cmpulsive shpping and cmpulsive eating.
D. An experimental treatment prgram designed by Mr. Wilsn.
70. The underlined wrd“it”in the first paragraph mst prbably refers t .
A. cmpulsive eating B. a new psychlgical excuse
C. the study dne by Blampied D. the behavir f wild shpping
71. Which f the fllwing is cnsidered imprtant in treating cmpulsive shppers?
A. Teaching them t manage their mney better.
B. Teaching them t understand their emtins.
C. Persuading them nt t draw mney frm the bank.
D. Treating them with right drugs.
72. When the writer says that cmpulsive shppers get a kick frm their habit, he means that they .

Excused frm recycling because yu live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道)? Yu wn't be fr lng. Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple fr thse living in tall buildings t use the chute and recycle t .
In Shantzis’ Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads t a pie-shaped cntainer with six bxes that can turn arund when perated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and cntainer nw in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and ther rubbish t g int separate bxes .
The system is cntrlled frm a bard next t the chute dr. The bard has a buttn fr each class f recycling materials (as well as fr un-recyclables). At the press f a buttn, a micrcmputer lcks all ther flrs’ chute dr and sets the recycling cntainer turning until the right bx cmes under the chute. The cmputer als cunts the lads and gives a signal by phne when the bx is full. And a particular piece f equipment breaks up the nn-recyclables
Srting(分类) recyclables befre they are cllected saves the use f expensive materials recvery equipment which therwise has t d the srting.
