The women's college had a very small car-park, and as several of the teachers and students, and many of the students' boy-friends had cars, it was often difficult to find a place to park. The head of the college, whose name was Miss Baker, therefore had a special place in the car-park for her own car. There were white lines round it, and it had a notice saying, "Reserved for Head of college."
One evening, however, when Miss Baker got back to the college a few minutes before the time by which all students had to be in, she found another car in her parking space. There were two people in it, one of her girl-students and a young man. Miss Baker knew that the young man would have to leave very soon, so she decided to ask him to move his car a bit, so that she could park hers in the proper place for the night before going to bed.
As the young man's car was close to the fence, Miss Baker had to drive up beside it on the other side, where the girl was sitting. She therefore came up on this side, opened her own window and tapped her horn (喇叭) lightly to draw attention to the fact that she was there. The girl, who had her head on the boy' s shoulder, looked around in surprise. She was even more surprised when she heard Miss Baker say, "Excuse me, but may I change places with you?"

The world is known to us through many senses, not just hearing, smell, sight, and at close range, taste and touch.
Our skins let us know whether the air is wet or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery (滑). From the light pressure, we can know how deep a finger is pushed into water at body temperature, even if the finger is in a rubber glove that keeps file skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins, appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.
By examining the abilities of other members of the animal kingdom, we come to realize that a human being has far more possibilities than those are made use of. We give not enough care to ever so many of our senses in paying particular attention to the five major ones. At the same time, a comparison between animals and man draws attention to the limitations of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光谱) seen by color- conscious (意识的) man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than we, because the ultra-violet (紫外线) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating(刺激的) part of the insects spectrum, and, for honey-bees at least, makes up a separate color.
71. From the passage we realize that _________.
A. man has far more senses than the five major ones
B. man has a few more senses than animals
C. man has as many senses as animals
D. man has fully made use of his senses
72. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Man is more color-conscious than the honey-bee. B. The honey-bee is blind to red.
C. The honey-bee can see far more colors. D. Man is sensitive to the ultra-violet.
73. We can realize how deep a finger is put into water at body temperature _______.
A. from the sense of direct touch B. through the difference in temperature
C. through skin touch D. from the difference of the pressure
74. The underlined phrase "sensitive skins" most probably means ___________.
A. skins that are quick to feel and react B. skins that are very soft
C. skins that are completely dry D. skins that are sticky and slippery
75. Which is the main idea of the passage.'?
A. All senses have their limitation.
B. Insects are more sensitive to colors than man.
C. Man has not made full use of all his senses.
D. Man is not as good as animals in learning about the environment.

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether we should know our parents’ income.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us(about 70%) think we should know our parents’ income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn. Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble.
About 30% of my classmates think it unnecessary to let the children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said, especially when their parents have a higher income, the children will easily form a wasteful habit.
