Many years ago I drove a taxi for extra money. I drove mainly from the downtown to the 36 , beside the Greenwood Racetrack which was in operation at that time.
Each time a taxi drove up to the station, many kids would run along the 37 to the passenger door. One 38 kid would open the passenger door and say, “ 39 , sir.” The passenger would always say thanks and give the kid a 40 on his way from the taxi to the entrance of the track. It was a routine that everybody knew.
One day I noticed a boy, who was 41 than most of them but was pushed away by even the smallest kid. He never pushed back. 42 , he would even step aside when others pushed forward. But he never 43 .
Then one morning as I was 44 to the sidewalk, all the other kids were running after a taxi 45 mine. They didn’t notice mine.

A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. What food might it contain? He was alarmed to discover that it was a rat trap (捕鼠夹).
Going back to the farmyard the rat gave a warning: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” The chicken raised her head and said: “Excuse me, Mr Rat, I can tell this is a big concern to you, but it is of no business to me. I cannot be bothered with it.”
The rat turned to the pig and told him: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” “I am so very sorry, Mr. Rat,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. I will make sure that you are in my prayers.”
The rat turned to the cow. She said, “Like wow, Mr. Rat. A rat trap. I am in grave danger. Duh?”
So the rat returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s rat trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife.
The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet (短柄斧) to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.
His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them the farmer killed the pig.
The farmer’s wife did not get well. She died, and so many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when there is a rat trap in the house, the whole farmyard is at risk.

A person steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way underfoot. The person struggles desperately but is trapped. There is no escape. Slowly the person sinks deeper and at last is gone. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.
How is quicksand formed? Water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They cannot hold any weight. The subsurface water may have e from a spring, a river, or a stream. Sometimes pools of water near beaches bee filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage(排水), the sand can bee stretches of quicksand.
Is it true that a person who steps into quicksand is doomed to die? No, for people have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. It is panic(恐慌) that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters bee. Quick movements will make the sand yield for a time, but then it rushes back and settles solidly around the body.
People trapped in quicksand should either lie back with arms outstretched, or not move at all. When the weight of the sand around his body has displaced equals that person’s weight, the victim will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke(仰泳) in swimming, people have managed to roll to safety and reach firm ground.
63.Quick movements by a person trapped in quicksand will _______.
A. help the person reach firm ground
B. help prevent panic
C. make the same sand yield temporarily
D. make the sand hold the person’s weight
64.Quicksand is _______.
A. a mass of fine sand mixed with waterB. formed only along rivers
C. found below subsurface waterD. solid ground
65.Which statement does the article lead you to believe?
A. Stretches of quicksand are found only under the sea.
B. People should never try to escape from quicksand.
C. It is hard to keep calm if you fall into quicksand.
D. Only heavy people can be trapped in quicksand.
66.The passage mainly tells about _______.
A. what solid ground looks likeB. the nature of quicksand
C. stepping into quicksandD. escaping from quicksand
D
Nowadays, there’s a lot of debate about single sex education since it has begun to regain its popularity recently. Aording to long term studies of children from around the world, students achieve more and learn better in single sex schools.
An Australian study of 270,000 students found that both boys and girls performed much higher on standardized(标准化) tests when they attended separate schools. During an experiment in Virginia in 1995, 100 eighth graders were separated just for math and science courses. Almost immediately, the girls began to achieve more, bee more confident and take part more often in class activities.
In 2001, a British study concluded that nearly every girl regardless of (不论) her ability or socio-economic status performed better in single sex classrooms than co-ed ones. The study of 2,954 high schools and 979 primary schools showed that while boys at the lowest levels in study improved the most in single sex schools, single sex education was particularly beneficial (有益的) to girls. Every one of the top 50 private elementary schools and top 20 private high schools in Britain are single sex schools.
Girls became more confident in themselves as students and earned higher scores on their College Board and Advanced Placement examinations. A quarter of the female members of the US Congress and one-third of all female members of Fortune 100 boards graduated from all-women’s colleges.
While the statistics are not as dramatic for boys, however, boys tend to soften their petitive edge and bee more cooperative in a single sex setting. They can just be boys and not worry about what the girls might think.
Single sex education has a pleasant way of encouraging children to be fearless, to be curious, to be enthusiastic --- in short, to just be themselves. Children are subjected (屈从于) to pressures from every quarter to bee adults before they are ready to do so. They grow up too quickly. Why not let them be children for a few more years? Single sex education with its gentler, more controlled social atmosphere is just the right answer for many children.
67. With the experiment in Virginia in 1995, the writer wants to show that .
A. single sex education has bee popular in recent years
B. the effect of single sex education on girls is immediate
C. students at separate schools are better prepared for standardized tests
D. both boy and girl students achieve more and learn better in single sex schools
68. Aording to the article, which of the following statements about single sex education is TRUE?
A. Girls’ performances in single sex classrooms are determined by their ability and socioeconomic status.
B. In all-boys schools boys with the worst academic performances improved the most.
C. Single sex education was particularly helpful for boys.
D. There are more single sex schools than co-ed schools in Britain.
69. In the article, the underlined phrase “soften their petitive edge” probably means .
A. act in a kindly mannerB. bee less petitive
C. lose interest in somethingD. take advantage of something
70. What is the main point of the article?
A. Ways to reduce pressure and help children grow.
B. The reason why girls perform better than boys at school.
C. The advantage of single sex education.
D. The development of single sex education in different countries.

A Oahu Island ? the gathering place
Home to 80 per cent of Hawaii’s people, Oahu lets you enjoy the bustling and colourful city life of Honolulu, and world-famous Waikiki beach. Glamorous Waikiki is the main place for sun and surf. Otherwise go swimming, snorkeling, or relax and sunbathe on the many other fabulous beaches. Oahu is the place to be for shopping, great dining and great nightlife! But if nightclubs aren’t your scene, you may like to visit the museum at Pearl Harbour, or climb Nuuanu Oali mountain to find the best view of the whole island.
B Hawaii ? the big island
Hawaii is also the name of the biggest island of the group. If you’d like a more relaxed lifestyle with friendly locals, then the Big Island has plenty of room for you. Take a helicopter ride around snow-capped Manna Kea, the highest mountain in the world if you measure from the ocean floor. Or visit Kilauea, the world’s largest active volcano（活火山）. Hawaii’s dramatic black lava landscape even include beaches with black sand.
C Kauai ? the garden island
Small and uncrowded, Kauai is the perfect gateway for families and couples looking for a peaceful holiday. It has world-class golf courses, with great views! This island is ideal for those who love outdoor activities. The beautiful green Na Pali cliffs and coast are a great place to go camping, hiking and horse riding. You can go kayaking on the river, or take scenic helicopter flights.
D Maui ? the rainbow island
Maui bines beautiful scenery with luxury resort-style living. No matter where you stay, you’ll see many wonderful rainbows. Of course there are the lovely beaches for snorkeling, surfing and whale watching, but you can also hike up Haleakala, the world’s largest inactive volcano. The town of Lahaina offers a lu’au - a fun evening of hula dancing and traditional banquet. It isn’t as busy as Waikiki, but there are still plenty of shopping, fine restaurants and nightlife.
E Lanai ? Hawaii’s best-kept secret
Far away from the crowds, this island offers you a totally relaxing experience. It is a haven for all kinds of wildlife. You can go fishing on the deserted beaches, or just laze there. Maybe you can climb Lanaihale mountain. From the top you can see all the other islands.
F Molokai ? very different
The lifestyle here lets you understand the way Hawaii was many years ago. If you’re looking for a total escape from a busy city life, this is definitely the place. Fet shopping, fancy dining and nightlife. Let a guide bring you on a horseback or bicycle tour of the rugged but beautiful scenery. Hike over the stunning cliffs of the Kalaupapa peninsula. The most important thing to do on Molokai, though, is relax and slow down.

One possible version:
Nowadays, there is a mon phenomenon(现象) that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Inter. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent, and it is a way to release their pressure, and all this makes it more and more popular with high school students. For another, many parents and teachers hold a different view, and they think that managing a blog will take a lot of time and energy, while this should be used to study which is their main responsibility.
In my opinion, I do approve of this activity. Opening and anizing an eye-catching blog needs various abilities such as writing, designing, being skilful at puters and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a suessful blog. And also, we can improve ourselves during the procedures of anizing our blogs.

I’m sure almost every one of you looked at your watch or clock before you came to class today. Watches and clocks are very important in your lives, but they were seldom seen in the United States before the 1850’s. In the late 1700s, people did not know the exact time unless they were near a clock. There were delightful clocks on the squares of some Europeans town built for the public. After all, most people didn’t have enough money to but their own watches or clocks. In the 1800s in Europe and the United States, the main purpose of a watch was to show others how wealthy you were. By then, with the rapid industrial development in the United States, measuring time had bee very important since industrialization made it possible to produce large numbers of watches and clocks in factories. They became very cheap, and “being on time ”gradually came into the language and our lives.
