　　Passage Two
 

　　Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hat the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.
 

　　Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter thicker; they can stretch; they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.
 

　　More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary—in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.
 

　　66. According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for ______.
 

　　A. the efficiency of our muscles B. the normal breathing function

　　C. directing our muscles intelligently D. the work of only our involuntary muscles
 

　　67. Intelligent use of the muscles means that ________.
 

　　one always knows what his muscles are doing

　　one performs simple actions whithout working

　　one’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they perform

　　one improves muscular action consciously
 

　　68. Muscles are unique fibers because, they can ________.

　　A. voluntary muscles B. involuntary muscles

　　C. muscle fibers D. sensory nerves
 

　　Passage Three
 

　　The large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages, the fact that the control of the army navy was in the hands of those that spoke French, the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms.

Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army the navy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard spy, we have kept the names of officers such as captain sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea.
