To the other Europeans, the best known quality of the British, and in particular of the English, is “reserve” A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers, does not show much emotion(feeling) and seldom(not often) gets excited. It is difficult to get to know a reserved person he never tells you anything about himself, and you may work with him for years without knowing where he lives how many children he has, and what his interests are. English people prefer to be like that. If they are making a journey by bus, they will do their best to find an empty seat, if by train, an empty compartment If they have to share the compartment with a stranger, they may traval miles without starting a conversation. If a conversation does start, personal questions like “How old are you?” or even “What is your name?” are not easily asked, and it is quite possible for two people to know each other casualy(偶然地) for years without even knowing each other’s name. Questions like “Where did you buy your watch?” or “What is your salary?” are almost impossible. Similarly, conversation in Britain is in general much more quiet and restrained(拘束的) than, say, in Africa, and loud speech in considered ill-bred(无教养的)
66．We say that a person is “reserved” .
A．if he does not talk much about himself

67．We may know from the passage that English people .
A．like to live with reserved persons

68．When you meet an Englishman, you will be considered impolite to .
A．ask “How many children do you have, sir?”
B．show much emotion and talk much
C．get restrained and keep quiet
D．start a conversation first
69．You feel it hard to get to know a reserved person because .
A．he lives with English people most of the time
B．a conversation between you and him is not easily started
C．he lives alone and always sits far away from you.

Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as EL Nino. The appearance of EL Nino is known to affect(影响) weather around the world. Saientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.
One example is the work of two scientists at Celumbia University in New York, Mark Came and Gordor Eshel. A scientist from Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when EL Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last EL Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an EL Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective(有效的) early warning system(系统) for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.
71．What is EL Nino?
A．The lasting warm winters around the world.
B．The irregular changing of bad weather in the world.
C．The warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean.
D．A serious lack(short) of rain in Afica.
72．Scientists have been studying EL Nino .
A．to tell the future of the world
B．so that they can tell the cause of bad weather
C．because they want to help Zimbabwe to get enough rain
D．in order to offer people help in fighting against nature
73．The writer suggests in the passage that scientists .
A．have found the cause of the appearance of EL Nino
B．can use EL Nino to prevent many people from starving
C．are far from knowing the cause of EL Nino and controling it

One possible version:
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to our school!
Exam-oriented education forced us to listen to our teachers while taking notes in class. We did all kinds of exercises without end, though it was 5 o’clock in the afternoon. After supper, we had to continue our exercises far into the night.
Quality-oriented education has made our school life colourful. We are active in class. Sometimes one of us teaches ourselves. We have various outside activities, such as singing, dancing, English corner, taking computer lessons. Basketball and football are our favourite sports. In the evening we can watch news on TV, do experiments by our selves and have talks and discussions of our subjects.
In a word, our school life is getting more and more colourful and interesting.
That’s all. Thank you.

You say you’ll have a two-week summer holiday and decide to travel a lot and visit as many new places as possible. I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’ll tell you a story about my friend Mr Bell. Last July he was in Europe. Europe is very beautiful, but his holiday wasn’t very nice. He visited four countries, and was in each of the countries only three days. He visited a great many museums and famous palaces, and was always in a hurry. Bell was on the train or on a bus almost every day. When be returned from Europe, he was very tired. So I suggest that you spend your holiday in a different way. Better to travel with a friend to one country, and visit only one city. Choose a city on the coast and you’ll be able to have a good rest on the seaside……
