Lying comfortably upon a sofa,Harker Brayton smiled as he read an old Morryster book:Marvels of Science.He unconsciously(无意识的) lowered the book without changing the 36 of his eyes.As soon as the book had gone 37 the line of sight,something in a dark place of the room attracted his 38 .In the shadow under the 39 he noticed two points of light about an inch apart.They might have been 40 by the lamp above him shining on bits of metal, 41 he did not think about them and continued his 42 .
A moment later,something caused him to lower the book again and look for what he had 43 before.The points of light were still there.They seemed to have become 44 ,shining with greenish glow(亮光) that he had not at 45 noticed.He thought,too,that they might have moved a little,or were 46 nearer.They were still too much in the shadow,however,to reveal(暴露) their 47 ,and again he turned to his reading.
Suddenly something that he read gave him a 48 that made him drop the book to the floor.Brayton,half 49 from the sofa,was staring into the 50 under his bed.His attention was now 51 fully to those shining points glowing in the shadow.There,almost directly under the foot rail(横栏) of the bed,he saw the 52 of a large snake.The points of light were its eyes!Its ugly head was 53 in his direction.The eyes were 54 merely(仅仅) meaningless points of light.They looked 55 his eyes with evil（凶恶的） strength and hate.

Dear Mom and Dad,
This is my fifth day at summer camp.Life in the great outdoors isn't exactly what I expected,but I'm not starving yet,so don't worry about me.
I guess I should tell you about what I do every day.First,everyone has to get up at 5:30 a.m.They have this silly old rooster named Harry who loves to wake us up.Next,we have to make our beds and tidy up the cabin before our camp counselor,Jeff,comes to inspect the place.
Then,we have breakfast around 6:30 a.m.After that,we have some free time,so I've been going down to the nearby stream to fish for a couple of hours.But yesterday,the only thing I caught was an old shoe and a tree branch.Great catch,huh?Then when I was trying to swat(用力打）a mosquito buzzing around my head,I slipped and fell in the stream and lost my fishing pole.That ended my fishing career.
Well,in the afternoon,there are different activities we can choose from like archery,horseback riding,and hiking.I thought archery would be the sport for me until I shot an arrow through Jeff's pant leg.As you can imagine,I haven't been invited back since.
In the evening,everyone is given a different job to get dinner ready.Yesterday,I was in charge of cooking the hotdogs,but I accidentally dropped them in the fire,so we had to settle for beans instead.
At night,we sit around a campfire in front of the cabin,sing songs,and tell ghost stories.That's usually fun,but one night while trying to find more sticks for the fire,I got all turned around and got lost.After about an hour of wandering aimlessly in the forest,I finally found my way back,but no one seemed to have realized what had happened,thinking that I just had gone to bed.A bear or wolf could have eaten me and no one would have known it.
Well,today is another day and tomorrow I'll go home and not a bit too soon.I've learned that camping is just not for me.
Love,
Brad
61.What does Brad have to do before he eats breakfast?

62.What happened to Brad when he went fishing?
A.A tree branch fell on him.
B.He lost his fishing pole.
C.He slipped and lost one of his shoes.
D.He tried to swat a mosquito with his fishing pole.
63.What was Brad doing when he got lost in the forest?
A.He was running away from a bear.
B.He was searching for wood.
C.He was wondering around looking for the cabin.
D.He was singing songs and telling ghost stories.
64.How did Brad like summer camp?

B.It was okay.
C.He didn't have fun.
D.He thought it was full of fun.

Several days ago,a Beijing-based IT company fired about 400 people over-night.No one has expected the job cuts,which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China.Moreover,what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 people were fired,they all received from their boss a gift,the book“Who moved my cheese?”
The book,a best-seller in the US,is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work.Some large organizations,including Coca Cola,Kodak and General Motors,ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
Cheese is something related to everyone's livelihood—our jobs,the industries we work in,relationships and love as well.
With China's official entry into WTO,the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges.So what should we do once this “cheese”on which we are so dependent is moved?
“Whatever challenges and changes we meet,we should face up to them bravely.”Jiang Hengwei,a civil servant said after reading the book.
Professor Yang in Renmin University of China agrees.\!We should change our way of thinking.The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”
65.The whole passage is about ___________.
A.a best seller in the United States
B.what people think about China's entry into the WTO
C.people's attitude towards changes and challenges
D.how a book influences the Chinese workers
66.The company in Beijing gave each of the 400 fired workers a copy of“Who moved my cheese?”to___________.
A.be more competitive with foreign companies
B.find an excuse for their job cuts
C.let the workers make a living on their own
D.encourage the fired workers
67.The word“cheese”in the passage refers to ___________.
A.something we depend on for a living
B.a most popular kind of food
C.change or challenge
D.way of life
68.From what Jiang Hengwei and Professor Yang said,we can infer that ___________.
A.the Chinese people are ready to face any changes and challenges
B.they have different opinions on changes and challenges
C.people are not afraid of competition from foreign companies
D.they are both greatly encouraged by the book
D
Leaving a tip(小费) in a restaurant has become a custom in most countries.The word“tip”came from the Latin word\!Gratis”,meaning free.Tips are defined as small gifts of money for service in addition to the payment due.
A more common belief is that tips were first given in 18th century England.A popular coffee house equipped each table with a coin box.The label of each box reads,\!To insure promptness.”Dropping a coin into the box would result in quick service.Also,the first letter of each word is T.I.P.—tip.
In America and Europe it is customary to tip anywhere from 10% to 20%.Taxi drivers,waiters in restaurants,waitresses in lounges,hotel bellboys,doormen,and disco coat check girls,all expect a little something.People working at these jobs usually receive a low basic salary,so tips are quite necessary to supplement their income.Today most people decide the size of tip according to the quality of the service.If the service and the food are not satisfactory,a small tip or possibly no tip will be left.For excellent food and service most people are quite happy to leave a tip.
The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders.Surprisingly,rich people are not “big tippers” unless entertaining guests.It is no use showing off if nobody is there to watch,right?Many throw money around like water to impress a group of friends out for an evening “on the town”.People who usually cannot afford it are the biggest tippers in front of their friends.It is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success.Over-tipping also gives some satisfaction just to see the waiter's reaction.
For whatever reason,tipping will continue to be practiced in most countries.Tipping does have its place in our modern society.It will also remain a somewhat personal expression of gratitude.
69.People usually think ___________ first began to give tips.
A.Latins B.Americans
C.Europeans D.the English
70.Who do you think has the least possibility of giving big tips?
A.A rich person who is entertaining some guests.
B.A rich person who is having dinner in a restaurant.
C.A person who acts like a big spender.
D.A person who is not very rich but in front of some friends.
71.Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?
A.The custom of tipping will remain in future.
B.The custom of tipping will disappear in modern society.
C.The custom of tipping will disappear in most countries.
D.The custom of tipping dates from the 19th century.

After more discussion,Paul and John come to an agreement.Paul knows that the deal will fall through if he doesn't get his act together quickly with the Chinese building suppliers.He tells John that if John's company keeps away from the South Korean market for the time being he'll get things worked out in about three weeks by lending the Chinese company some of the money,without charging the usual interest,for materials and labour costs will get them to start building the hotels almost immediately.
John thinks that is a good idea but he's a bard businessman and drives a hard bargain.He wants two guarantees(保证)that the deal won't fall through at the last minute.The first is that,if Paul can't come up with his side of the contract(合同）,then Paul's company will have to pay 400 000 pounds,but with an agreement to discuss the project again in six-month time.Paul knows that his bosses won't want to part with that sort of money and agrees.
However,the second guarantee is that even if Paul's company does start up on time but falls behind schedule(进度表）,it will cost his company 200 000 pounds for every month's loss.Paul thinks that is very hard and over the top,and he will have to look into it.But John says that is his\!bottom line”,meaning that is the only deal he is going to make and Paul's company can either take it or leave it—either they give both guarantees or the deal falls through now.The business world can be a tough one.
72.The writer writes this article mainly ___________.
A.to show businessmen are hard to get along with
B.to suggest the business world is a rather difficult one
C.to tell people how to come to a business agreement
D.to show John is even tougher than Paul
73.When you drive a hard bargain,you ___________.
A.argue about the price
B.get everything cheaper
C.make sure that an agreement suits you best
D.do everything you can to make a deal
74.What does Paul think about the second guarantee that John asks for?
A.He considers it is completely unacceptable.
B.He thinks it is something fair.
C.He believes it is unfair and decides to refuse it.
D.He thinks it is unfair and wants to change it.
75.The underlined word\!them”in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ___________.
A.the things to be worked out
B.the hotels to be built
C.materials and labour costs
D.Chinese building suppliers

Dear Editor,
In the countryside a lot of children are leaving school at an early age for various reasons.Some have to leave school because their families are too poor to pay for their education.Some have difficulties in study.Some have to help their parents to earn money.And some simply do not like studying.In my opinion the main reason that the children can not finish school is the poor living conditions of their families.
I think every child has the chance to receive educaiton.As a student I can't do much about it.But I would try my best and now I would like to give them all my pocket money and hope it will help some children.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

M:Mary,tomorrow is your mom's fiftieth birthday.Do you know?
W:Of course I do.How shall we celebrate it?
M:First of all,a birthday present.What about buying her a beautiful skirt?
W:That's a good idea.It would make her look younger.And a big birthday cake,too,with fifty candles.
M:That's right.Shall we have a special dinner?
W:How about a Chinese dinner?
M:Fine.Where shall we have it?
W:We can have it at home.I've learned to cook a few dishes from a Chinese friend.I'm sure Mom would like them.
M:All right.Are you going to do the shopping as well?
W:Why don't we go together,Dad?
M:OK.When?
W:How about this afternoon?
(Text 10)
Many people go to church on Sunday,but others don't.Many sleep late on Sunday,but most don't.However,almost everyone reads the Sunday paper.
Often the paper is waiting outside the door when the family gets up.The newspaper boy has delivered it.
The Sunday paper is usually very thick.It has many advertisements and many different sections.The adults in the family like the front page,the editorial page,and the world news section.Many men also read the sports pages and the financial pages.
Most men don't read the women's pages,but the mother of the family usually does.The women's pages have news about parties and marriages,and advice about food,health and clothes.
Most Sunday papers have comics,which children enjoy.Older people read the death notices,which tell about people who have died during the week.
There is something for everyone in the Sunday paper.
