From the point of view of convenience, the best sitters are often young people who live in your apartment building or close by in the neighborhood. This gives you a chance to meet the parents and see what they are like. If an emergency occurs, young sitters can call upon their parents quickly for help; you do not have to take them far to see them home at night or pay expensive taxi fares. Another advantage is that young people living close by can usually fill in quite readily on short notice or for short periods of time.
In an apartment house you can ask the superintendent for permission to post a notice for a baby-sitter by the mailboxes. This is often the best way to find out if there is anyone in the building who is interested in baby-sitting. Retired people as well as students are often glad to earn a little money in this way and can be found by such a note.

举一反三
Many people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that the writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.
“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate (证书) because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature means an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.
There are people who wish to remain anonymous (匿名的) for various reasons. Multibillionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.
Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say.
53. What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”?
Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.
Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.
Writers should be responsible for their names.
Names are required to indicate writer’s responsibility for what they say.
54. The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may _______.
A. help to end a relationship B. not get a reply
C. be accepted all the same D. become a family problem
55. Some people don’t want their names known because they are _______.
A. hesitant to make a donation B. unwilling to draw public attention
C. afraid of an accusation D. ready for involvement
56. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. honor and writers B. identity and signature
C. signature and responsibility D. anonymity and signature
Thousands of villages in the developing world have no telephones. They have no money to build telephone systems. A new kind of technology may help change this situation. I t reduces the cost of building and using telephone systems.
Traditional systems use wires to carry electrical signals from one telephone to another. The wires often cost much more than telephones. The new system is based on radio communication. Each telephone sends and receives signals through the air, but not through the wires. This reduces the cost greatly. The radio telephone gets their power from the sun.
Each is connected to a solar equipment that changes the sun’s energy into electricity. A battery stores the electricity until someone needs to make or receive a call. The telephone turns off by itself if the level of power in the battery falls too low. This prevents damage to the system. Each radio telephone is connected to a computer microprocessor. It rewards how many calls are sent and received. It controls the power supply.
The technology needs more study, but its new use of radio equipment sun power and computers may help start telephone ringing in the other parts of the world.
68. The radio telephone gets their power from_____.
A. the sun B. electricity C.
battery D. a special equipment69. Each telephone is connected to_____.
A. a solar equipment B. a radio machine
C. a computer microprocessor D. Both A and C
70. From the passage we can infer that_____.
A. the new telephone system costs less than before
B. we can not use the radio as before
C. the new telephone system will take the place of the old one
D. it will be much easier to radio from now on
71. The main idea of the passage is_____.
A. a simple telephone system has been invented and
costs less moneyB. thousands of villages will use the new telephone system very soon
C. traditional telephone system will become useless
D. the new system will be too good to use
In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions. The animals are given more freedom
in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in cages, and water flows through the places the animal live in. there are few bars; instead, there is often a deep ditch, filled with water, which surrounds a space where several sorts of animals live toge
ther as they world naturally. In an American zoo, the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees, some small animals and many birds, and large enough for birds
to live naturally. In a 
zoo in New York, with the us of special night, people can observe certain animals that are active only at night, when most zoos are closed. Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water.Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors, but also keep and save rare animals. For this reason, fifty years from now, the grandchildren of today’s visitors will still be able to enjoy watching these animals

I"ve met colorful people like Wang all over
China．They are cynical（玩世不恭的） yet warmhearted, plain spoken but smart．And many of them are confined（局限于）to work in factories．Wang is a top technician but also represents manual fact
ory workers, who are China"s most important natural resource．Their energy is powering China"s economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of the world"s factory．But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends: "When I grow up I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life．It"s been happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it"s outdated．Earning 1,200 yuan （$169） per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it"s not a dream career．There should be better ways to earn your rice．
Many modern factories no longer have production line workers．Robots do the assembly（装配）．People just do the monitoring．In this age of technology, in which China is n
ow working smarter and not just harder, why are people still standing in production lines?But life is cheap in China．So why not continue to exploit the low-cost labor situation and keep the economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask．
小题1:How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?
| A．One percent |
B．Only a small part |
| C．Only a small part of that one percent |
| D．The writer didn’t mention it． |
| A．cynical | B．unimportant |
| C．warmhearted | D．plain spoken |
| A．difficult to get along with |
| B．humorous but serious |
| C．cynical but warmhearted, plain spoken but smart |
| D．full of energy but doesn"t want to work hard |
| A．Factory workers make contributions to China"s economic boom． |
| B．Working in a factory is better than that on a farm． |
| C．Factory workers are satisfied with their living conditions． |
| D．Some entrepreneurs exploited the low-cost labor situation． |
| A．a lot of figures | B．many examples |
| C．some dialogue | D．the result of a survey |
On August 26,1999,New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm.The rain caused the streets to 51 and the subway system almost came to a stop.
Unfortunately,this happened during the morning rush hour.Many people who were going to work were 52 to go home.Some battled to 53 a taxi or to get on a bus.Still others faced the 54 bravely,walking miles to get to work.

I would like to thank all of you who made the effort and 65 reported to work.It is always reassuring (令人欣慰),at times like these,when employees so clearly show their 66 to their jobs.Thank you.
Garth’s email was short,but I learned more from that 67 message than I ever did from a textbook.The email taught me that a few words of 68 can make a big difference.The rainstorm and the traffic 69 had made me tired and upset.But
Garth’s words immediately 70 me and put a smile back on my face.| 小题1: |
