阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出选项。
A
One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑) police killer David Bieber---- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said.“I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage , wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over the face. She said,“He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact(接触)”. Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret. 64, and husband Stan Smith, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said’ Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat.”
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐)”.

Vitamin D is important for holding normal calcium in the blood and for bone health.
Without enough of it, a child can get rickets, and an adult might suffer bone softening.
Now, there are a few foods that contain vitamin D naturally. Besides salmon and mackerel,
the oils from some fish like cod, shark and tuna have it. But, to get enough, you’d have
to eat these fish and/or their oils three times a week. There is, of course, Vitamin D
in fortified milk. But you’d have to drink six to eight glasses a day to get enough.
It’s been believed that about 80 to 100 percent of a person’s requirement for Vitamin D comes from exposure to sunlight, though some research shows a lot of people, particularly those in northerly places, just aren’t getting enough sunlight to meet their Vitamin D needs. The skin takes the ultraviolet energy from the sun and thenconverts it to Vitamin D. A person can actually store Vitamin D. You store it in your body fat! And that’s why if you get proper amount of exposure to sunlight in spring, summer and fall, you will store it in your body fat, and it will later be released during the wintertime.
So I love to garden and play tennis. In those activities, I wear a broad-rimmed hat,
and I wear a lot of protection over my arms and legs, but not for the whole time. As I
start my activities, I usually have my face and arms and legs exposed to sunlight for
about 10 minutes, and then I cover myself up. I don’t ever get sunburned.
61. The proper way to get Vitamin D is ________.
A. to be exposed to the sun B. to eat certain foods
C. to do outdoor exercises D. to add calcium to blood
62. It is implied in the passage that ________.
A. the longer exposure to the sun, the better
B. 80 to 100 percent of people need Vitamin D
C. Vitamin D is somewhat like money in a bank
D. Vitamin D exists in a few animals and vegetables
63. The meaning of the underlined word“converts”is close to that of“________.”
A. burns B. joins C. adds D. turns
64. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Vitamin D and Health B. Sunshine and Vitamin D.
C. Getting Vitamin D by Exercise. D. How You Store Vitamin D.
