Nearly all the tourists who come to southeast France make a tour to Monaco（摩纳哥）, too. Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality（公国）, though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.
Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.
Facing the blue Mediterranean（地中海）, Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince（王子） stands, and Monte Carlo（蒙特卡洛）, which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.
Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too.

Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists' advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.
61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. You can always get help from the specialists.
B. It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.
C. You should decide what kind of dog you want.
D. Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.
62. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?
A. The color of the dog. B. The price of the dog.
C. Whether the dog will fit the environment.
D. Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.
63. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?
A. It must be trained so that it won't bite.
B. It demands more food and space.
C. It needs more love and care.
D. It must be looked after carefully.
64. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?
A. It's easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.
B. They are less likely to be shy with human beings.
C. They are less likely to run away.
D. It's easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me £12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office. Madam,” he said politely. “I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”
“That's fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course, she's only three...” “I'm four,” the child said proudly. “I'll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket. Madam,” he said. “But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?”
"Err, well—"the woman looked at the child. “I mean . . . she hasn't started school yet. She's only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket to Jersey costs ... let me see ... £l3. 50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe £l. 50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine....”
The woman stood up, took the child's hand and left the office.
65. Harry started talking to the little girl ____.
A. because he was in difficulty and did not know what to do
B. because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl

A. they must follow the law, even though the fault was his
B. he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didn't want to
C. the woman had to pay him £l.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotel
D. she should pay £l.50, but since he had made a mistake, she could go without paying
67. The woman left the office without saying anything because ____.

In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes(性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.
Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally(通常) see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.
What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve(神经) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation(创造) and the expression for emotions(情感). In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connected by smaller nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain are.
68. Which of the following is best to outline(概括) the article?
A. Research on the Brain B. Differences between Men and Women
C. People’s Different Brains D. Who Are Better, Boys or Girls
69. ___________ men and women think differently.
A. sex makes B. The different brains make
C. The different experiences make
D. The influences(影响) of society make
70. According to the article, girls are generally better than boys at ________ in your school.
A. mathematics B. physics C. English D. Chemistry
71. Which of the following is true?
A. The left side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls.
B. The left side of brain in girls generally develops better than that in boys.
C. Men are better than women in all things.
D. The area in girls used for language skills develops better.

Dear friends,
I believe almost all the parents allow their children some pocket money. Have you ever planned how to spend it? In my opinion, there are many worthwhile ways to spend the money. For example, we can keep the money in the bank, which will help us to form the good habit of saving. We also can use them to buy some good books to enrich our knowledge. Personally, I like to collect stamps with my pocket money and they will bring pleasure to me. Anyway, I think we should use our pocket money wisely. That’s all, thank you.
