Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage．
Once the hard decisions have been made about how to treat a patient’s cancer，doctors face aul even more difficult question：how do you help patients deal with the side effects of treatment?
The issue is a challenge for physicians because，unlike with cancer therapies，there are few scientific studies on the most effective ways to handle the side effects including common symptoms such as poor sleep or fatigue．But addressing these seemingly coluinon complications（并发症）is crucial for helping patients maintain their regular lifestyle，which in turn may even encourage the success of their cancer treatment．
That’s why Dr．Karen Mustian of the University of Rochester Medical Center decided to put a favorite practice of cancer survivors yoga--to the test．In a paper she will present at the American Society of Clinical Oncology（肿瘤学）（Asco）annual meeting in June，Mustian designed a standardized program based on hatha yoga—a slow-moving form of the discipline-and tested its effect on improving：the quality of life for cancer survivors．
Called YOCAS，the four-week program involved sessi。ons of hatha yoga twice a week for 75 minutes each，in combination with breathing exercises and meditation（冥想）．Among the 410 participants，who were divided into yoga and traditional follow-up care groups，those practicing yoga recorded nearly double the improvement in sleep quality and reduction of fatigue compared to those not practicing yoga．They also reported better quality of life overall，Mnstian says．
For cancer physicians．the findings will be a welcome addition to their discussions with patients．“Many patients ask about complementary（互补的）therapies，whether they are exercise or meditation or yoga，”says Dr,Douglas Blayney，medical director of the comprehensive cancer center at University of Michigan and president of ASCO．“I often don’t know what to tell them because there isn't a lot of science on these complementary therapies．Here is a scientific study showing benefit，so at least we can have some assurance in telling women that here is a yoga program，here are its characteristics and it has been shown to have beneficial effects on sleep and quality of life．’’
What bothers the cancer physicians after determining the treatment plan?
A．How to prevent the side effects from appearing．
B．How to handle the side effects effectively．
C．How to persuade the patient to accept the therapy．
D．How to prove effectiveness of the treatment．
58、 Why is it significant to help patients deal with the side effects of the cancer treatment?
A．Because it is the most effective way to cure cancer．
B．Because it could shorten the time of the treatment．
C．Because it enables them to do exercise regularly．
D．Because it increases the possibility of their complete recovery．
59、
Mustian designed a standardized program __________．
A．to see whether yoga can reduce side effects of cancer treatment
B．to improve the quality of life for cancer patients
C．to popularize yoga among cancer survivors
D．to present it at the ASCO annual meeting
60、
What does the experiment done by Mustian show?
A．Yoga is the most favorite practice among cancer patients．
B．Yoga indeed helps to improve the quality of cancer patients’life．
C．Yoga is the best way to improve the quality of cancer patients’life．
D．Traditional follow-up care couldn’t improve cancer patients’sleep quality．
61、
According to Dr．Douglas Blayney，the YOCAS program is __________．
A．useless
B．unscientific
C．beneficial
D．popular
62、阅读下文，回答62-71题
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage．
Shoppers on Black Friday，the traditional start of the holiday shopping season in America, are notoriously（声名狼藉地）aggressive，Some even start queuing outside stores before dawn to be the first to lay their hands on heavily discounted goods．Last year destructively violent bargain-hunters in the suburbs of New York City trampled（踩踏）a Wal-Mart employee to death．Despite the madness at many stores，however, the recession appears to have accelerated the pace at which shoppers are abandoning bricks and mortar（灰浆）in favour of online retailers--e-taters．
E-commerce holds particular appeal in poor times as it enables people to compare prices across retailers quickly and easily．Buyers can sometimes avoid local sales taxes online，and shipping is often free．No wonder，then，that online shopping continues to grow even as the offiine sort shrinks.
The shift in spending to the internet is good news for companies like P&G that lack retail outlets of their own．But it is a big concern for brick-and-mortar retailers，whose prices are often higher than those of e-tailers，since they must bear the extra expense of running stores．
The most obvious response to the growth of e-tailing is for conventional retailers to redouble their own efforts online．The online arms of big retailers are performing well，on the whole．
The concept of“multichannel”shopping，where people can buy the same items from the same retailer in several different ways，is gaining ground，and retailers are trying to encourage users of one channel to try another．
Retailers are also trying to make shopping seem fun and exciting to act against the recession．One common method is to set up“pop-up”stores，which appear for a short tilne before vamshing again，to develop a sense of novelty and urgency．
Stores are also trying to lure customers by offering services that are not available online．Best Buy，a consumer-electronics retailer，has started selling music lessons along with its musical instruments．Lululemon athletica,which sells sports clothes，offers free yoga classes．The idea is to bring people back to its shops regularly．increasing the likelihood that they will develop the habit of shopping there．
Why does the author say the recession has accelerated the pace of online shopping?
A．Because shoppers are aggressive when shopping at brick-and-mortar stores．
B．Because online shopping allows people to look for cheaper goods more easily．
C．Because the sales of brick-and-mortar shops shrink during economic recession．
D．Because the same item is definitely cheaper when it is sold online．
63、 The price of goods of physical stores is often higher than that of virtual stores because __________．
A．the physical stores bear higher operating cost
B．physical stores bear more local sales taxes than virtual ones
C．the quality of goods in physical stores is better
D．the giant manufactures like P&G favor e-commerce
64、 How do the traditional retailers react to the growth of e-tailing?
A．They turn to focus entirely on online business．
B．They sell goods both online and offiine．
C．They resist such kind of trend．
D．They give more discounts for the goods to attract buyers．
65、 What is the retailers’purpose of setting up‘‘pop-up’’stores?
A．To cut down the operation cost．
B．To offer bargain goods．
C．To make shopping funny and urgent．
D．To increase the sales in their online shops．
66、 Best Buy sells music lessons along with its musical instruments in the hope of __________．
A．establishing its unique pattern of selling
B．competing against the same service offered online
C．persuading customers to abandon online-shopping
D．making online shoppers go to its shops frequently
