With a population of 48,953, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers. Besides hunting and skating in the mountains people enjoy shopping in the Indian and Spanish shops, which brings a large income to the city every year.

The Hawaiian Islands are situated（位于）about two thousand miles away from North America, right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Despite the distance the Islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States. The Islands were all formed by volcano eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years.
On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating directions. They don't use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world. They use the mauka and makai system. Mauka means "mountain".The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands. Makai means "the sea". The islands are small and the system is simple. Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea. A typical conversation between a native Hawaiian and a visitor might go as follows.
VISITOR：Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is? HAW AIIAN; Well ... Let me see ! From here it's two blocks mauka,and then one block makai. You can't miss it!

A man walks into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber (黄瓜) up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. "What's the matter with me?" he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, "You're not eating properly ."
This is a popular joke among British schoolchildren. It shows Britain's famous dry and satirical (讽刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life. People say this unique sense of humor is one of Britain's national characteristics.
The British sense of humor is different from other countries because it is often more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing that works better than a socially inappropriate (不恰当的) joke. It reflects the culture where mocking (嘲弄) is part of everyday life.
While most Britons don't take these jokes too seriously, foreigners often don't understand them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain think the British are "unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor".
Are the British just not as funny as they think they are? Leo McKinstry, a British journalist, thinks the British are funny. "Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce (劳斯莱斯) that its cars are cheap and not good in quality," he says.
72. What does the doctor actually mean by the re mark “You're not eating properly”?
A. What you have had is the cause of these problems.
B. You are not having the right food.
C. You don't eat the way people usually do.
D. You eat with the wrong cutlery. ( 餐具)
73. The word "dry" in paragraph two means ____________.
A. without water or liquid inside
B. special and popular among school children
C. dull and meaningless
D. funny and clever while seeming to be serious
74. Why do most visitors, who once visited Britain, think that the British are unfriendly?
A. Because the British always take things seriously.
B. Because the British have no sense of humor.
C. Because the British are cold and difficult to get along with.
D. Because the British have a different sense of humor.
75. Which of the following are NOT the characteristics of British humor?
A. dry and satirical
B. negative and mocking
C. encouraging and gentle
D. clever and witty
