阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. ―Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?‖ I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, ―OK, as long as I can follow you.‖
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the convenience store, she said, ―This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.‖ I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned
to him and said, ―Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.‖ Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, ―I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.‖ I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.

―In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.‖ ―Two full inches in the first three days!‖
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads，promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs，slim the face，smooth wrinkles，or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they
produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug，FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device，FDA has no authority to require the proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health，FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily，or it can take legal action，including seizure (查封) of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually. Before buying，it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.
64. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________.
A．objective B．costly C．unreliable D．illegal 65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．The court is in charge of removing dangerous products. B．New products are more likely to be questionable. ks5u C．The production of a device must be approved by FDA. D．The promoters usually just care about profits.
66．FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product________.
A．if it is a drug B．if it is a device
C．if its consumers make complaints
D．if its distributors challenge FDA's authority 67．The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________.
