根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余
选项。
When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.”   71  Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I’ve always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “ 72 ”
To be a good friend or partner, it’s important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive.   73 When they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.
74  You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are the gifts that can help change a person’s life.
Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationship, for they can have a great effect on yourself – respect and life path. As someone once told me “ 75 They will either take you up or down.”

A．I am afraid so.

B．It is quite true

C．Friendship is the most important factor.

D．Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror.

E．A friend is a present which you give yourself.
F．The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift.
G．Patience, sympathy and understanding are also important qualities.

Driving to a friend"s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people? Myself included? Usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
　I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.

A. Touched by the moon

A. there was too many pollution
B. he failed to see the fullest moon

A. No modern equipment B. Complete silence.
C. The nice moonlight D. The high mountains
74. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.
A. show that the writer likes city life very much
B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)
Some weight-loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago, have sprouted（萌芽） in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities. Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million—about 7 percent—are obese（极肥胖的）.
Experts say the obesity epidemic is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China"s citizens and economy. "We"re seeing a very large proportion（比例） of children and adolescents who are quite heavy and aren"t moving much," said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight "quite quickly." In just ten years China"s childhood obesity rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban(城市的) areas. "In big cities it"s a big problem."
Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China"s rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. __________, kids—especially city dwellers—are more sedentary(久坐的) today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television, computer games, and the Internet.
Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a portion of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer groups influence kids" food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.
China"s childhood obesity rate still lags that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious.
76．What is the best title of the passage?（Please answer within 10 words）.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Children’s obesity can have a very bad effect on the body conditions of the whole country and will cause a loss in the economy.

School failure appears to trouble teenage girls more deeply than boys, US researchers said on Tuesday.
They said adolescent(青春期的)girls who are dismissed or drop out of high school before they graduate are more likely to have a serious depression by age 21 than boys with similar experiences.
“For girls it is more serious to be school failure,” said Carolyn McCarty, a University of Washington researcher whose study appears in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
“We already know that it leads to more poverty, higher rates of being on public assistance and lower rates of job stability. And now this study shows it is having mental health implications for girls,” McCarty said in a statement.
The study was drawn from data on more than 800 people in Seattle, Washington, and included people from 18 schools in high-crime neighborhoods.
The group was separated evenly by gender(性别)and nearly half were white, 24 percent were black, 21 percent were Asian-American and the rest were from other groups.
Overall, 45 percent of the girls and 68 percent of the boys in the study experienced a major school failure, but 22 percent of the girls later became depressed compared with 17percent for the boys.
“This gender shows that while school failure is more typical for girls, it appears to have more severe consequences when it does occur,” McCarty said.
60. What is the purpose of writing this article?
A Taking good care of the school boys.
B Asking the US researchers to search more evidences.
C Giving help to the graduated students.
D Paying more attention to the girls experiencing school failure.
61. Carolyn McCarty is ______________
A a scientist B a researcher C a professor D a student
62. The underlined word”it” in para.4 means__________
A school failure B a adolescent girl C a school boy D a university
63.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?
A School failure appears to trouble teen-age girls more deeply than boys
B Girls are more possible to experience school failure
C Gender has decided how much success you will win
D Adolescent girls are more easily depressed than boys
