No one knows yet the accurate number of lives which have been lost in this terrible fire .But reports suggest that it is more than one hundred.
A wall of flames fifty feet high and at least one hundred and fifty miles wide is now racing towards the forests and rich farmlands of southern Victoria . Towns less than one hundred miles from Melbourne will be in danger unless the wind changes . People are rushing excitedly into the streets . The police have warned them not to see the fire but many people are doing so .
The cause of the fire is unknown . No rain has fallen in this part of Australia for three months, and the hot , north-west wind from the great central desert is blowing at more than thirty miles an hour .
The firefighters are travelling to the fire by road, rail and air. But it is not easy to get there. Flames and fallen trees have cut off or blocked roads and railway lines. The thick smoke often prevents them from finding the air strips (飞机跑道).
It is said that the fire has brought the greater danger to the country since the Second World War.

A．had just broken out B．had been put out

This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes . They will attend U. S. schools , meet U.S. teen-agers , and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world .
Here is a two-way student exchange in action . Fred , nineteen ,spent last year in Gemany with George’s family . In turn , George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America .
Fred , a lively young man , knew little German when he arrived , but after two months’ study , the language began to come to him . School was completely different from what he had expected --- much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room . They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States . There were almost no outside activities .
Family life , too , was different . The father’s word was law , and all activities were around the family rather than the individual (个人). Fred found the food too simple at first . Also , he missed having a car .
“Back home ,you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time . In Germany , you walk , but you soon learn to like it .”
At the same time , in America , Mike , a friendly German boy , was also forming his idea . “I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools .” He says , “it is far too easy by our level . But I have to say that I like it very much . In Germany we do nothing but study . Here we take part in many outside activities . I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens . There ought to be some middle ground between the two .”
60．The whole exchange programme is mainly to .
A．help teen-agers in other countries know the real America

A．there is some middle ground between the two teaching building
B．there are a lot of after-school activities
C．students usually take fourteen subjects in all
D．students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car
63．After experiencing the American school life , Mike thought .
A．a better education should include something good from both America and Germany
B．German schools trained students to be better citizens .
C．American schools were not as good as German schools
D．the easy life in the American schools was more helpful to the students .

In one way of thinking , failure is a part of life . In another way , failure may be a way towards success . The “spider story” often told , Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13th century , was hiding in a cave from the English . He watched a spider spinning a web . The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock . He tried six times without success . On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web . Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English …Edison , the inventor of the light bulb , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one .
So what ? First , always think about your failure . What caused it ?Were conditions right ? Were you in top form yourself ? What can you change so things will go right next time ?
Second , is the goal(目标)you’re trying to reach the right one ? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be . Think about this question .“ If I do succeed in this , where will it get me ?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway .
The third thing is to bear in mind that failure is a part of life . Learn to “ live with yourself” even though you may have failed . Remember , “You can’t win them all .”
64．This passage deals with two sides of failure . In paragraph 1 , the author talks mainly about .
A．the value of failure B．how people would fail
C．famous failures D．the cause of failure
65．The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems .
A．productive B．straight forward C．sad D．deep
66．The author tells you to do all things except .
A．to think about the cause of your failure
B．to check out whether your goals are right for you
C．to consider failure as a part of life
D．to bear in mind that you will never fail in your life
67．Which of the following is NOT true ?
A．Bruce and Edison were successful examples .
B．Failure may be regarded as a way towards success .
C．Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce .
D．One may often raise a question whether his goals are worth trying .

“Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed ?” Bob thought .
Mr. Mannering read his book for another hour . Finally , the headmaster closed his book and stood up .He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door .
“Thanks heavens , he didn’t find me under the sofa ,” thought Bob .

For years, many people would not believe that smoke could attack so many parts of the body in so many ways. Study shows, however, that tobacco isn’t one single thing. At least 60% of it is gas—20 different kinds of gas. And one of these is the deadly carbon monoxide (CO)（一氧化碳）.
In factories, the amount of this gas in the air is measured, and it must be kept under fixed, safe level. But there is 640 times this safe amount in cigarette smoke.
Oxygen is carried through your body by the red blood cells. But this poison gas, CO, will get to the blood cells before the oxygen can. So, if you smoke your blood carries five to ten times more of this deadly gas than is normal. To make up for this, your body must make more red cells.
The oxygen in your blood passes into your tissues（组织）. But here again CO makes trouble. It keeps the oxygen from passing into your tissues as fast as it should. Because of this, cigarette country is always about 8000 feet above sea level. Someone who smokes and lives at sea level gets as little oxygen as a nonsmoker at an altitude（高度）of nearly two miles. This happens to everyone who smokes, no matter how old or how young. Anyone who competes in sports can tell you that those who smoke run out of breath more quickly than those who do not.
72．The gas amount in cigarette smoke is .
A．640 times higher than the gas safe levels in factories
B．640 times lower than the gas safe levels in factories
C．640 times as much as that in factories
D．as dangerous as that in factories
73．If you smoke, .
A．your blood carries more oxygen than is normal
B．your blood carries much more CO than is normal
C．you can have five to ten times of blood than usual
D．your blood will be poisonous
74．Those who smoke .
A．all live at sea level
B．don’t live at an altitude of two miles
C．breathe as much oxygen as non-smokers
D．only get the same amount of oxygen at the sea level as non-smokers at an altitude of nearly 2 miles
75．Smokers are .
A．easily hurt B．easily excited C．easily tired D．healthy

Dear Canadian friends,
Glad to meet you and welcome to our school. Now let me tell you the arrangement for your visit. This morning our headmaster will meet you and introduce the general conditions of the school to you. Then you’ll be shown around our library, labs, students’ bedrooms and the school factory.

And each of you will get a school badge of ours as a gift then.
I wonder if you like the plan. If you have any requests, please let me know.
I hope you have good time at our school. Thanks.
