Passage 4
The book that can't wait
One problem a lot of people have with books is that they buy them and then never read them. 42 It printed a book in disappearing ink: the text of the book disappears two months after the special package（盒）of the book is opened. It encurages buyers to read it before it goes away. People call this “he book that can't wait”.
43 The publisher（出版社）sold out all the first edition at a bookstore in one day, and received“thousands of requests（请求）”for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of media coverage（媒体报道）. As a result,the publisher is planning to publish other works in disappearing ink now.
44 But here, we have some suggestions:
First,the book should start disappearing after the reader opens the book for the first time. If the books become very popular in the future, readers will need to read them one at a time. They don't want their books to disappear before they read the frist page.
Second, the disappeared book should find a good use. _ 45 It would be a more environmentally friendly way to do this.
A.The book was a great success.
B.It's wrong to throw the books away after reading them.
C.In some ways, the idea is pretty clever.
D.To work out this problem, a publisher got a brilliant idea.
E.Maybe we can use them as notebooks.
F.Luckily, some experts invented a book and worked out the problem.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat,and foods like pizzas,pasta,burgers and chips are always mentioned.Many young people would probably also list the local fast-food restaurant as their favorite place.
But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should eat.For a growing body,eating foods with plenty of calcium(钙),such as milk,yoghurt and cheese,is important because calcium is essential for the development of healthy,strong bones(骨头).Similarly,foods that are rich in iron(铁) are good for developing bodies,so it's good for them to eat red meat,bread and green vegetables.
Lifestyle habits can be developed during our teenage years,so it is greatly important that young people are educated about what foods are good.In 2005,in order to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes,a cook named Jamie Oliver started a “Feed Me Better” project.He worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy school meals.Although some teenagers and parents refused to have a try at first,the project was generally a huge success.The newspapers wrote articles about him and a TV program showed his visits to the schools.
No on expects to end the teenage love with fast and junk food,but,hopefully,if projects like “Feed Me Better”continue to give out the right messages,more young people will understand the importance of eating healthily.
64.What problem do teenagers in the UK have?
65.Why are milk and bread healthy foods?
66.Why is it important to educate people during their teenage years?
67.Did Jamie Oliver improve school dinners successfully?
68.In order to help teenagers,what does the writer expect people to do?
