I come from a city on the United States’east coast. It’s a ten-hour flight for me to get home from Shanghai. When I got off the plane, I took photos of the blue sky and white clouds along the way. After two weeks, I returned to Shanghai. Much to my surprise, the blue sky
in Shanghai that I liked before was not as blue as that in the US. I couldn’t help wondering what had happened.
A few days later, I went to tour Waitan by the Huangpu River with some of my friends. There we saw five Ferrari sports cars by the side of the road. The red and yellow cars looked so nice that everyone was looking at them. However, when I turned my head, I noticed the sky over Waitan, I was shocked to find that the buildings in the Lujiazui area on the other side of Huangpu River could hardly be seen. It was then that I realized that Ferrari cars could be bought with money, but a blue sky couldn’t.
Shanghai is an important economic and trade center in China. It has made great contributions to the whole nation’s economic development. However, we need to protect the environment during economic growth. Pollution is poisoning our air and our rivers. Without clean air and rivers, how will people be able to survive?

A. tell us that Shanghai is a developed city

B. Those who care about the environment.
C. Those who want to travel in Shanghai.
D. Those who like to take photos.

Expert: Suzanne Zazulak Pedro —5/26/2009Question :
A long married couple are coming to our town next month for a few days to see all their old friends. I’
ve invited them to stay with us. We have a single bed in the basement , and also
a rather uncomfortable double-bed sofa in the living room. My husband says we should offer them our own bed, but I don’t want to. What’s the right thing to do? Answer:
Dear Lucy,
The fact that you made the invitation in the first place already shows your kindness and generosity . But I think the couple will feel bad if you offer them your own bed. Maybe you could check around your town and see if you can find a hotel at a good price. When I travel I hate to be forced to do something, but am glad to get good suggestions. If they do decide to stay with you, the “little”things you do will show your good manners. They don’t have to be expensive —maybe fresh flowers from your garden, a cool glass of orange juice, or just some friendly talk when they arrive.
I’m sure you’ll think of a good way to handle it.
If you need further tips, let me know, and I wish
you a wonderful time with your friends.
Yours truly,
Suzanne

A. Good manners are more important than being honest.
B. Doing what you like is good manners.
C. You can show your good manners in many ways.
D. You shouldn’t invite your friends to stay with you.
63. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Good Manners and Bad Manners
B. Which Bed Should I Offer?
C. A Couple and an Expert
D. How to Show My Good Manners?
C难度:★★
In the history of photography, the first use of camera was for photographing people and their families. But because of its cost and difficulty, photographers have to get things right at the first time and put as many people as possible into the picture. Here I have my four DOs for family photos.
Do make your groups closer. Even though they are family, most likely, they won’t be getting close enough. It has always been a problem for me to have everyone close. But it can truly give a feeling of family. As a starter, try having people stand with shoulders partly covering the one besides him or her.
Do make people’s clothes match. Remind the family to possibly share similar colors. No extreme colors and strange prints on their clothing. Though it’s their picture and their choice, a casual suggestion from a professional is usually appreciated.
Do check the screen for blinking . You can get away with a weak smile, but if someone looks sleepy in their family photo, the customer may not be happy. I suggest you quickly check
across everyone’s eyes on the screen after photographing.
Do try to be funny to get natural smiles. Funny jokes work surprisingly well to break the nervousness.
A good photographer’s joke might be asking everyone to hold their best pose . You can also get them doing something they don’t normally do. Have them try jumping, running or whatever comes to mind.
64. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. Photography has a very long history.
B. Camera was first used for putting people in newspapers.
C. Taking family photos is expensive and not so easy.
D. People would like to take pictures in groups.
65. Photographers make the family stand closer in order to ______.
A. make people feel it’s more like a family photo
B. make the family relationship better
C. give more space of the picture to the background
D. hold as many people as possible
