It’s not polite to arrive at a dinner party more than 15 to 20 minutes late. The host or hostess usually waits for all the guests to arrive before serving the meal. If someone is late, the food may be spooked , and so might the host of hostess’s spirit. If you will have to be late, call and tell them to start without you.
It’s even worse to be early !the host or hostess will probably not be ready. If you are early, drive or walk around the block a few minutes, or just sit in your car until the right time.
Though it’s often important to arrive at a party on time, yet on the other hand, for open houses, he host or hostess invites guests to arrive and leave between certain times, so you can arrive at any time within the times he or she gives you.
It’s nice to bring an empty stomach, but it’s even nicer to bring a small present. The present should not cost a lot, or you might embarrass the host or hostess. Flowers, wine, or a box of candy will do fine. Never bring more as a present.
In an introduction, the order of a name is (1)the given name, (2)the family name. In other words, the given name comes first.

Older people may want you to call them by their titles and family names, such as “Mr.Jones”, “Mr.Smith”,”Ms.Johson”,or “Dr.Brown”.
A maiden name is a woman’s family name at birth. In the United States and Canada, after a woman marries, she takes the family name of her husband in place of her maiden name. It is now becoming common, however, for women to keep their maiden names after they get married.

THE COMET IS BEST FOR DESIGN ECONOMY.
AND PERFORMANCE
Does your old car make a lot of noise? Does it use a lot of gas? Does it drive badly on the highway? Then you must need a new car.
Before you buy a new car, however, you really should take a look at the new Comet. You might be surprised by this year’s model. It has a new engine, and it doesn’t use much gas.
Besides the new engine, there are several new colors of paint and the special matching inside. You can choose evening gray, sunset red, midnight blue, or cloud white. You can choose matching leather or plastic seats. And every car today ought to have a CD player, so every new Comet has one at no extra cost.
You should not buy a car if it doesn’t drive smoothly, and you might not be happy if your new car uses too much gas. So we suggest that you drive the Comet and test it for yourself. You might find the car easy to control. And it is economical on gas.
If you don’t choose a Comet, you must not be worried about economy and performance. And you must not need to think about price.
61．What is the purpose of the passage?

Many people of the United States and throughout the world enjoy bird watching or “birding”,one of the fasted-growing outdoor activities. In fact, a report by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service showed that over 50 million American watch birds. There are many reasons why birding has become such a popular pastime, but one of the main reasons is how easy it is to start. Birding is an activities that almost anyone can do regardless of age, physical size and strength, or experience; also, it can be done alone or as part of a group of other birding enthusiasts. A city park, a field, a forest, or even a friend’s backyard are all good places to start. This makes the fun of bird watching open to just about everyone.
The basics of bird watching are simple. By definition, bird watching is “the observation of birds in their natural home.” All you need to start is the time and place to look for birds and small notebook to record notes about the birds you see. Any pair of binoculars(望远镜) you can use will also help. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of joining “the birding boom”:
1. When you first find a bird, try to name it. Take notes about the bird’s size, appearance, and the sounds it makes; later, ensure your sighting with a field guide or other bird watching reference.
2. Record the date and time of each bird you see. That way you will have a record of all your sighting to compare with other birding lovers.
3. Try birding in a variety of habitats. If you only look in the same place each time you go birding, it will not take long before you will want to find new and different birds.
4. Try looking for one or two new birds to record any time you travel to a new area.
5. Join a bird watching club or take other birders with you to new sighting areas. You are likely to learn a lot from others and have a lot of fun in the process.
If you enjoy bird watching, you are certainly not alone. It’s a fun way to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. It’s also an activity with a built-in bonus: birders sometimes help develop scientific knowledge just b practicing their hobby and taking part in the birding boom. Who knows? Some day, and ornithologist (someone who studies birds) might even thank you for your own birding observations!
64．The author most likely wrote this passage to ______
a) interest readers with bird stories
b) inform readers about bird watching
c) describe various bird habitats for readers
d) persuade readers to become bird scientists
65．The underlined word “enthusiasts” means ____
a). fans b). farmers c). officials d). guides
66. What is the best title for the passage?
a)The Backyard Birders
b)Birding Club Boom
c)The Birding Boom
d)Endangered birds
D
Car and polluted air
Each year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out every six Americans works at putting together parts of the cars, driving trucks, building roads,or filling with gas. Americans won’t live without cars!
Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car. However, some have realised the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car.
The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean air is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of car engine by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by car, we will have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.
But this change does not come easily-a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than of unemployment.
Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.
67. How many ways to get rid of air pollution are suggested in this article by the writer?
a). one b). two c). three d). four
68. Large car factories are trying to build a clean car___
a) which is clean in itself
b) which is used to clean the street
c) which does not pollute the air
d) which is easier to make
69.If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem to American workers is ____
a)to have no work to do
b)to keep the air clean
c)to get a better life
d)to go to work by bike
70.What is the conclusion of the writer?
a)Bicycling is the only way out
b)The number of cars must be cut down
c)Cars bring us nothing but serious problems
d)Cars bring us not only a better life bet serious problems
