A

Three members of an international crime ring had been arrested and were being brought to Will Ketchum's office for questioning.

"What do we know about these three?" the Inspector asked. "Are they South Americans?"

"All I know about them so far is what Officer Tall told me before he went off duty," said Sergeant Zupp. "He understands Spanish and that's what they speak, though they seem to know some English. From what he heard by chance, two of them are brothers named Malo, and the other is called Bueno."

"I've heard of the Malo brothers," said the Inspector.

"I don't know which two are the brothers," continued the Sergeant, "but Officer Tall told me he'd heard the Malos agree not to give a truthful answer to any question we asked. Bueno said it was hopeless and he was going to tell the truth. I guess the Malos are going to be out to confuse us."

The Inspector had the men brought in. He asked the bald one whether his name was Bueno or Malo. The man mumbled a reply and before the Inspector could repeat the question, the others answered.

"He says his name is Bueno," volunteered the thin one.

"He says his name is Malo," said the fat one.

The Inspector turned to Sergeant Zupp. "They're clearly keeping to their plan about who is telling the truth and who is lying. Take the brothers back to their cell and leave Bueno here with me."

As our knowledge of health and fitness increases, people are becoming more interested in not only taking care of themselves physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. As a result, many are turning to more complete approaches to health, including less mainstream fitness methods such as yoga.

Yoga's origins lie in Hindu philosophy, which was developed thousands of years ago in India. Today, yoga is a system of movements and meditation that emphasizes physical control and discipline as a way to achieve a state of spiritual knowledge.

Yoga's ideal state of knowledge is reached after a person has gone through eight different stages. These include aspects of self-control, religion, postures, regulation of breath, restraint of senses, steadying of the mind, meditation and profound thought. For a practitioner of yoga, or "yogi", the progression through these stages is a movement from the physical toward a perfect mental state.

There are eight major schools of yoga, each varying in its area of emphasis. The type of yoga that is taught in the West is mainly a combination of exercise and meditation called Hatha Yago. Hatha Yoga is said to have a number of positive effects such as reducing weight, strengthening muscles and nerves, cleaning out the body, and generally improving health and prolonging life.

Recent decades have seen yoga gain widespread acceptance as a method of staying in shape, as well as a way of handling stress. Pop singer Madonna and supermodel Christy Turlington are just two of the many celebrities known to be strong advocates of yoga.

At present, there is a lot of speculation (猜测) and uncertainty about yoga and its effects. One thing, however, is certain: In our modern world of fast-paced lifestyles, taking time out to meditate and do some relaxing exercise cannot be a bad thing!

46. People are becoming more interested in complete approaches to health because they ____.

A. know less about health than they used to

B. find less mainstream fitness methods more interesting

C. want to acquire more than just good physical health

D. think good physical health is the most important

47. What must yoga practitioners do to reach an ideal state of knowledge?

A. Have a good knowledge of Indian history.

B. Move from the mental to the physical world.

C. Have physical control over other people.

D. Pass through eight different stages.

48. Which is NOT true about Hatha Yoga?

A. It involves both exercise and meditation.

B. It has eight major areas of emphasis.

C. It is believed to help people reduce weight.

D. Many people believe in its positive effects.

49. Some people think yoga ______.

A. is useless in a fast-paced modern society

B. might not be as effective as many people believe

C. is only useful to celebrities who have lots of time

D. can only be effective if used with modern technology

50. What's the best Chinese translation for the underlined word "schools" in the text?
