Choose the best choice according to the passage.
After the very active and successful tenure of office by the Senegalese President at the head of the Organization of African Unity, it was highly logical to think that the successor,, whoever he might be, would have a difficult task in doing a better job.
The Congolese president set to work as soon as he was elected. His first step was to suggest to the dean of heads of State present in the Ethiopian capital. President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, to summon a meeting of the leaders of countries that lie close to South Africa. Its aim: to define a strategy in order to overcome the reprisals that the racist regime of Pretoria is likely to take against its neighbors in case sanctions are imposed by the international community. President Sassou Nguesso has already undertaken a number of trips abroad. He thus went to Harare (Zimbabwe) where he delivered a speech, on September 1. on behalf of Africa before the summit meeting of non-aligned nations.
At the end of September he was in New York, for a statement before the General Assembly of the Untied Nations, and then in Washington, for talks with high-ranking members of the Reagan Administration. He then went to Ottawa, for consultations with leading members if the Canadian government. The Congolese president's aim, in all these endeavors, is to convince still reluctant countries of the imperious necessity of imposing sanctions against the racist regime of Pretoria. 1. In the first paragraph, the word \"successor\" refers to
a person who enjoyed a successful career in polities (A)
a person who was very popular in the political arena (B)
the person who was to lead the organization (C)
the present head of the organization (D)

Everybody has to buy or sell things sometimes. Even students, who are usually not very rich, have to learn something about making purchases intelligently. As a student you may find, for example, that you need to buy a typewriter or winter clothing. You may want to buy a television or a used ear. Of course, you want to get good value for your money. If you are considering a major purchase, or any purchase, you should remember three important things.
(1) Study first, and then decide what you want to buy. You can learn a lot just by reading books and advertisements. Remember that a high quality product will probably last longer and work better. Of course, for a superior product you can expect to pay more. An inferior product may not give you the same quality, look at the price. A poor quality product could be expensive. And a valuable one could be on sale at a greatly reduced price.
(2) Don't hurry. Take your time. After you decide what product you want, go to many different stores. If you cannot find the product you want, you may try to order it directly from the factory or ask the store to order it for you: Look for a good deal. If you wait, you will probably find that your product will go on sale and you may be able to save 10, 20, or even 50 percent off the original price.
(3) Finally, before you buy, make sure that the product is guaranteed. If you don't like it, you want to be able to get your money back. If you carefully examine your own preferences and then shop until you find the lowest possible price, you will generally be happy with your purchase and also keep more money in the bank.

Foreigners Also Love Chinese Martial Arts
Chinese martial arts have quite a long history. They form a splendid part of the Chinese culture and they are a part of the nation’s spirit. Not only Chinese people love their martial arts, many foreigners are also crazy about them. Perhaps I’m one of those eager foreigners. Actually, I’ve exercised all my life. I used to be a football player and I once loved swimming very much. But I became a Chinese martial arts fan the moment I saw them in a film. So, I decided to take them up while I was studying in Xi’an.
Practicing Chinese martial arts requires a lot of effort. You have to be able to “stand as straight as a pine tree, sit as square as a stone, and to realize the deep meaning of the
arts. Not all people who practice Chinese martial arts have a deep enough understanding of them. Some regard them only as physical movement: You move here; you hit your rival there … But my coach has tried to make me realize their underlying meaning, which has a great deal to do with one’s mental state. Gradually, I’ve come to understand that the martial arts do not only improve my physical condition, but also make me feel more confident in dealing with the world around me. Many actions of Chinese martial arts are actually based on meditation. They make the goal better fitted for each person. Other forms of exercises do not necessarily make people feel happy, but when exercising martial arts, you will become calmer and more cheerful. Such beneficial function has long been realized and treasured. Many of my American friends have benefited a lot from practicing the arts, mentally and physically.
Now there are quite a lot of martial arts clubs in the United States. American people are willing to spend their free time learning Chinese martial arts. For them, the martial arts are a unique culture as well as a beneficial form of exercise. According to a report, one in every ten Americans once studied or is studying a style of martial arts. I myself am planning to set up a martial arts school in my home country as soon as I complete my study in China. 1、Chinese martial arts are very fascinating to the author. ( )

British People like Talking About the Weather
The most important thing to remember about the weather in Britain is that it often changes. You can wake up to a beautiful blue sky and then it starts raining during breakfast. Similarly, you may decide not to go for a picnic because it’s too wet – then later it’s fine. Because long periods when the weather stays the same day after day aren’t every common in Britain, the kind of weather you get will depend not only on the time of year, but also on luck. The weather in Britain may explain a lot about what you find here. For example, the opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on the weather, so you won’t see people meeting and spending time together outdoors as much as you do in warmer countries. This may give some visitors the idea that the British are not very friendly. The weather helps to explain eating customs too; a large hot b breakfast, for example, is a good idea on a cold dark morning. Foreigners are often amused that the British people spend so much time discussing the weather. An important reason for this is that the climate in Britain is interesting and variable. Because the weather changes frequently, there’s always something to say about it, and this is probably the commonest way for strangers to start a conversation. At places like bus stops you might hear conversations start like this: 1st person: lovely day, isn’t it? 2nd person: Yes, isn’t it.
Then they may go on to talk about what the weather has been like recently or what it’ll be like next. Another reason is that the British people are reluctant to converse about personal matters with people who are not friends. Mentioning the weather is also a useful way to greet someone you pass on the street; it’s inoffensive to begin a conversation with someone you don’t know at a social event. A comment on a nice day or a personal complaint about the rain is an easy way to break the ice.

Because long periods when the weather stays the same day after day aren’t every common in Britain, the kind of weather you get will depend not only on the time of year, but also on luck. The weather in Britain may explain a lot about what you find here. For example, the opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on the weather, so you won’t see people meeting and spending time together outdoors as much as you do in warmer countries. This may give some visitors the idea that the British are not very friendly. The weather helps to explain eating customs too; a large hot b breakfast, for example, is a good idea on a cold dark morning. Foreigners are often amused that the British people spend so much time discussing the weather. An important reason for this is that the climate in Britain is interesting and variable. Because the weather changes frequently, there’s always something to say about it, and this is probably the commonest way for strangers to start a conversation. At places like bus stops you might hear conversations start like this: 1st person: lovely day, isn’t it? 2nd person: Yes, isn’t it.
Then they may go on to talk about what the weather has been like recently or what it’ll be like next. Another reason is that the British people are reluctant to converse about personal matters with people who are not friends. Mentioning the weather is also a useful way to greet someone you pass on the street; it’s inoffensive to begin a conversation with someone you don’t know at a social event. A comment on a nice day or a personal complaint about the rain is an easy way to break the ice.
