Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children in
inexpensive but clean clothes. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two by two behind their parents, holding hands. One could sense they'd never been to the circus before.
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, "Please let me buy eight
children's tickets and two adult tickets." The ticket lady quoted (报价) the price. The man's wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to quiver (颤抖). The father leaned a little closer and asked, "How much?" The ticket lady again quoted the price.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus? Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $ 20 bill and dropped it on the ground. My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the father on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, sir. This fell out of your pocket. "
The man knew what was going on. He appreciated the help in a heartbreaking, embarrassing situation. He took my dad's hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $ 20 bill, and with a tear running down his cheek, he replied, "Thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family. "My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn't go to the circus that night, trot we didn't go without.

Reading
A primary means by which you acquire information is through reading. You must learn to read with a purpose. You must know before you begin reading what your purpose is, and read accordingly.
Getting the Main Idea
(Jetting the main idea in reading is central to effective study. You must learn what the author's central idea is, and understand it in your own way. Every paragraph contains a main idea. Main ideas are perfect for outlining textbooks. Make it a habit to find the main idea in each paragraph you read. Extracting (萃取) important details
Extracting important details means that you locate in your reading the basis for main ideas. There is usually one important detail associated with every main idea. The more important details you can identify, the easier it will be to review for examinations because you have made a link between a main idea and information that supports it. The more links you can make between details and main ideas, as well as main ideas themselves, the more powerful the efforts of your study will be.
Taking Notes
While reading, note-taking is a skill which must be learned. You must learn Io keep notes logically. Remember, if
you can't read your own writing a few days after taking notes, they are of little use. By all accounts, the hest place to keep notes is in a loose-leaf notebook. Make a habit of using your notebook to record all your notes. If you're caught without your notebook and need to take notes, always have a supply of loose-leaf paper with you. Insert your note papers into the notebook as soon as you can. Be sure to buy a good notebook, as it will get a lot of wear and tear.
60. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. The importance of reading.
B. Some techniques in reading.
C. How to read with purposes.
D. Ways to take notes in reading.
61. To get the main idea, ______.
A. identifying important details is necessary
B. you should make links between details and exams
C. you must know what your purpose is
D. great efforts should be made for your study
62. What does the underlined word "it" Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The information.
B. The link.
C. The detail.
D. The main idea.
63. What can we learn from the passage about taking notes?
A. Taking notes when you cannot remember the content.
B. Using hard-leaf notebooks to keep long.
C. Separating different classes in a notebook.
D. Reading your notes constantly after taking them.
C

Humans had been speaking for a couple hundred thousand years before they got the thought to mark their ideas down for posterity (后裔). But when a Mesopotamian people called the Sumerians finally did draw a few bookkeeping symbols 5,000 years ago, they started a whole new period in history.
In most places, writing started about the same time when ancient civilizations appeared from hunter-gathering communities, probably as a way to keep track of" their new possessions, such as animals, grain supplies or land. By 3000 BC in Mesopotamia, and then soon after in Egypt, and by 1500 BC in China, people were writing and telling their world about their culture in a very long-lasting way.
When ancient Mesopotamians started settling down onto farms surrounding the first cities, life became a bit more difficult to understand. Agriculture required special knowledge and detailed recordkeeping which led directly to the invention of writing.
The first examples of writing were pictograms (图画文字) used by temple officials to keep track of the inflows and outflows of the city’s grain and animals stores. Officials began using standard symbols---rather than, say, an actual picture of a goat--to represent goods, written with a pointed reed that had been cut into a wedge (楔子) shape. The first writing is called “cuneiform”, from the Latin “cuneus”. The system developed quickly to include signs that represented sounds, and soon all of Mesopotamia was taking notes, making to-do list and writing love letters. Egyptian writing developed independently not long from then on, under similar circumstances.
A few thousand years later, as variations on the two systems spread throughout the region, the entire ancient world had writing systems that improved social development and, maybe most important to us, our understanding of the past.
Reading and writing in ancient times wasn’t for the masses, however, until the 19th century, when public education became more widespread around the world.
68. According to the passage, human writing _____.
A. began a couple hundred thousand years ago
B. was started by a Mesopotamian people 3000 years ago
C. began changing the world 5000 years ago
D. took from earliest in Egyptian culture
69. The underlined words “the two systems” in the last paragraph refer to _____.
A. pictograms and official writing
B. cuneiform and Egyptian writing
C. the inflows and outflows of animals stores
D. the ancient writing and modern writing
70. We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. Egyptian writing was 1500 years earlier than Chinese writing
B. “cuneiform” was equipped with sound at the beginning
C. the invention of Egyptian writing resulted from agriculture
D. the invention of writing was intended for public education
71. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. How writing changed the world.
B. The varieties of human writing.
C. Human languages in ancient times.
D. How human writing develops.

When Eliza Rader was 17 months old, she tasted peanut butter for the first time. Immediately afterward, her tongue became bigger and she had trouble in breathing. Her mother rushed her to a doctor. Later, tests proved Eliza had a severe peanut allergy（敏感）.
Now, Eliza is a 12-year-old seventh grader. She carries an injector that gives an emergency dose of medicine all the lime. She also visits classrooms at her old elementary school. Last week, she visited Mrs. Dwyer's second-grade class at West Orchard Elementary in New York. "When I was younger, I was one of the few kids that had these allergies, so I felt lonely,"
Eliza says. "I want to make kids feel more comfortable and safe."
Now about 3 million American kids suffer from food allergies, and the number seems to be growing quickly. Why are some children allergic to some food? It's a mistake of the body's immune system. The immune system's role is to protect the body from infections and other invaders (侵害). During an allelic reaction, the immune system identifies a food as something dangerous and releases chemicals, which cause the signs of an allergic reaction.
Nobody is sure why the number of kids with food allergies is increasing, hut it's believed that changes in what we eat are contributing factors. In today's antibacterial (抗菌的) world, there're fewer viruses for our immune systems to fight, so immune systems are attacking normally harmless food instead.
Now schools and kids across the country are taking an aggressive approach to food allergies. School staff numbers are trained to use injectors arid look tot the signs of allergic reactions. Food-allergic kids keep emergency plans anti medication in the nurse's office.
"Having a food allergy is just part of what makes you who you are, like if you have glasses," says Eliza. "It doesn't make you different in a bad way. It just makes you special. "
72. Eliza Rader visits her old elementary school in order to _____.
A. see her old teachers and classmates
B. survey students with food allergies
C. comfort students who have food allergies
D. direct the school to treat food allergies
73. Eliza Rader seems to feel that _____.
A. it's really terrible to have allergies
B. having allergies is a funny thing
C. it's really nothing serious to have allergies
D. having allergies can make you different
74. It is believed that the rise in kids' food allergies may be due to _____.
A. the serious pollution of some food
B. the nutritional changes in what children eat
C. the chemicals given out by the immune systems
D. immune systems' failing ability caused by bacterium-free food
75. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The food allergy and how kids and schools deal with it.
B. Why schools should serve more nutritious food.
C. How schools are teaching kids to exercise and eat right.
D. What a typical day is like for a kid with a peanut allergy.

Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women's education may be an unusual field for economists (经济学家), but increasing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on incentives (鼓励), provides an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of (剥夺) an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school--- the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning
abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children,ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.
Few will argue that educating women has great social
benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well.Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.

One possible version：
The State Council made an announcement to ban ultra-thin plastic bags recently. From June 1, 2008, on supermarkets, shop, and flee markets no longer provide free plastic bags for the customers.
In my opinion, the decision will have a positive effect. As is known, people throw away used plastic bags wherever they want to and the white pollution, mainly caused by plastics, which is hard to break down, is becoming a danger to people’s life. There is no doubt that the decision will do good to the environment. I’d give the ban two thumbs-up.
If it does bring inconvenience to the customers, I think
customers should understand and support the decision. But what I want to point out is that not providing plastic bags is just the first step to protect the earth from white pollution.
It’s not until everyone realize the importance of protecting environment and takes action that the world will be really clean.。
