Considering that there was no better way.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers .

Tom arrived at the New York airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Tom needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said, ”You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Tom answered. ”You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Tom a criminal (罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier(空中信使). And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
61. Why was Tom wearing so many clothes for his travel?
A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. Because he did not have any luggage with him
62. An air courier is a person who_________
A .manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organizes international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries.
63. Businesses choose the air-courier service because_____.
A. it costs less
B. it is flexible
C. it saves time
D. it grows fast
64.One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he_____.
A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him
C. has to wear two pairs of shoes
D. saves little money from the travel
65.The author of the text mainly______.

D. tells us about a developing business
C
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour，but when you're asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn，but you aren't very ambitious(野心勃勃的). You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up(卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't
normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
66. According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality ________.
A. only in a normal night
B. only when you go to sleep
C. only when you refuse to show yourself to the world
D. only when you change sleeping position
67. Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person's personality?
A. He or she is always open with others.
B. He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others.
C. He or she is always easily upset.
D. He or she tends to believe in others.
68. Which of the following shows the personality of a person sleeping on his stomach?
A. He or she is very ambitious.
B. He or she wants to stick to his or her opinion.
C. He or she can't be successful in any business.
D. He or she likes to bring others happiness.
69. Why don't you possibly want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up?
A. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.
B. He or she is rarely ready to help you.
C. He or she prefers staying at home to going out.
D. He or she wouldn't like to get help from you.
70. It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps
on one side because ________.
A. he or she always shows sympathy for people
B. he or she has more strengths than weaknesses
C. he or she is confident and careful.
D. he or she often considers annoying people

[1] Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs
around the world.
[2] The first Laughter Clubs was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995, by Dr Madan Kataria. “Children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing –it’s the universal（共同的）language.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs India and over 1,300 worldwide.
[3] Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLS School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
[4]So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to the nearest club in the south of London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands（拍手）and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. Although we couldn’t tell the differences between fake laughter and real laughter, they still produced the same healthy effects.
[5] Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody there was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was shocked by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing.
