Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time. One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”
After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.
Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.
But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.

举一反三
She lives happily and totally alone – growing her vegetables, looking after her trees and dogs, cats and chickens. Once a month or so an old friend passes by with her food supplies and letters-usually including a letter from her sister in Scunthorpe and some bits of clothing from friends in Canada. Sometimes a local man will come and cut wood for her and a group of British soldiers will come across her and be greeted with the offer of a cup of coffee.
At night she lies in her tiny sleeping room with the dogs on the floor, the cats on the table near the typewriter and one of the hens settled down in a corner of the bookshelf, and listens for hours to any Spanish, English, German or French broadcasts she can find on her radio. Sometimes she gets lonely but most of the time the animals and the radio are company enough.
But recently the very things that she had tried to get free from so well have begun to catch up with her. The peace of the forest has been destroyed by the noise of earth-moving machines not many miles away. What she once only heard of distantly on the radio is now on her doorstep. Things began to change three years ago. The new main north-south road in Belize was cut through the forest only four or five miles away. “Now more people know I’m here.” She says. “I feel more and more uneasy each day.”

For those who long ago lost interest in the annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala, some new online offerings might be pleasant alternative. They started appearing 2002 and could have a phenomental (非凡的)presence this year.
The online versions keep the essence of the CCTV one, but replace the less popular parts. To draw viewers, there is no shortage of big name stars. Some A-list performers, including singers XuWei, SunNan and crosstalk performers, can be found here. The interesting part, however, is the host of the celebrities who have risen to fame online, from Xidan Metro Girl (西单女孩)to Sister Lotus (芙蓉姐姐), for example. The anchors are the Back Dormitory Boys(后舍男生), a Chinese group who gained fame for lip-synch(假唱) songs by the Backstreet Boys and other pop stars.
What’s more significant is that it’s unprecedented in its interactivity.
“In online Spring Festival galas, I can vote for an earlier broadcast of programs that I like,” said Yu Ting, 23, a Peking University student. “I can also just click for my applause, and can even throw “tomatoes” or “rotten eggs” at those acts I really don’t like. I’m like the master of ceremonies or virtual producer of my own gala.”
Obviously, this has put an extra burden on the performers, who have to worry about being dropped by the audience at any time. However, it means original fun for netizens who like to “direct” their own entertaining bits.
No matter what you taste, the online Spring Festival galas offer multiple choices for the holiday. Everyone gets to enjoy whatever he or she likes.
64.What is the meaning of the underlined word?
A. the worst parts B. the best parts C. the less popular parts D. the original parts
65.what is true about the Back Dormitory Boys?
A. It’s a pop group good at crosstalk.
B. It’s a pop group made up of six handsome boys.
C. They often sing songs by the Westlife.
D. they sing their songs in a special way.
66.From the passage, we can learn about the online Spring Festival Galas that .
A. They started appearing in 1983.
B. People often take tomatoes and rotten eggs with them when watching
C. People can’t give their support in any way.
D. People enjoy the feeling of being the master of the galas.
67. You can find the passage in a _____________.
A. newspaper B. guidebook C. storybook D. catalog

Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women’s education may be all 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 avicious 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 advant-ages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent 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.
Topic: The significance of female ______76_____ in developing countries
Viewpoint | Educating girls is more beneficial than any other _____77_____. | |
Families | From low-income families | From educated mothers’ families |
Attitudes | Girls are of 1ess _78_than boys. | Development should be for all __79__ |
Practices | There is ___80__ investment in daughters. Girls are made to stay at home, _____81___ housework. | Girls and boys have ____82____ chances. |
Consequences | A vicious circle | A virtuous circle |
Significance | Educating girls ____83____ to social benefits, ____84_____ advantages and health practices, including family planning. | |
____85___ | Educating girls in developing countries is important and rewarding. |
