People around the world used their computers to buy goods, communicate with others, listen to music, see pictures and learn about different places and ideas. In 2006, more people around the world used new ways to communicate and connect with each other through the Internet.
The blog is one form of communication that enjoys growing popularity. Blog is a short way of saying Web log. Through these personal Web sites, people can share their experiences, ideas and opinions with anyone on the Internet.
People of all ages have their own blogs. For young people, they are a way to show their writings and other forms of self – expression.
Many Web sites offer free services to create personal Web pages and fill them with writings and pictures. These sites include “MySpace”, used mainly by teenagers and young adults. MySpace is an online community that lets people share messages and pictures with an increasing number of friends. It is the most popular social networking site on the Web.
YouTube is another Internet site that became more popular this year. This Web site lets anyone
create, share and watch short videos. People can watch almost anything on YouTube: news, sports and entertainment events. There are music videos, and videos made by people in their own homes. These include videos of people singing or dancing, or animals doing funny things. Three young men created YouTube almost two years ago as a personal video sharing service. They recently sold it to Google for more than one and one half billion dollars.
Games and entertainment also became a larger part of the Internet this year. One Internet social site is called Second Life. It is an online world in which computer users create a new self and live a different life. They get married, build homes, operate businesses, buy and sell goods, work, play and attend school.

Many years ago, children who had good manners kept quiet if their parents were talking with other persons. Today, well-mannered children have more freedom.
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other place.
Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud "burp" after you finish eating. Burping will show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say, "Excuse me, please."
In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia, it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their back on others while they eat.
What are good manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you're polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.
Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into them. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.
64. In Mongolia, burping is a way of showing that_______.
A. you enjoyed your meal
B. you are not full
C. your meal is not good
D. you want to eat more
65. In Polynesia , to be polite while eating you should_______.

D. eat quickly
66. In Arabia it is bad manners _______ .

B. to visit a friend
C. to refuse to sit down
D. to say no if you're asked to eat
67. Which of the following sentences is not true according to the passage?

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes(基因), or biological engineering as people call it , is drawing more and more attention now . Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure(治愈) serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture(制造) human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
68．What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to ?
A．gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B．The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
C．The two diseases of cancer and heart disease
D．Hereditary diseases and cancer
69．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.
B．Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C．How gene technology can be used to treat hereditary diseases.
D．Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.
70．In what way gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?
A．Gene technology helps people with hereditary diseases to live longer.
B．Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C．Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D．Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
71．What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A．Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit people
B．Telling people the advantages of gene technology
C．Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D．Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity

As Grade One students,our class have had a heated discussion about whether high school graduates should recycle the textbooks.
Some students agree to this suggestion.They point out that recycling textbooks can save a lot of natural resources used to make textbooks and save lots of expense.Besides,they mention that recycling textbooks is very common in some western countries.
But other students express their opposite ideas.They emphasize that the contents of the textbooks are often renewed.What's more,various kinds of notes have been made in their textbooks.
In my opinion,it is a wonderful idea because it will not only save much money but also do a lot of good to both the government and students'families.。
