I once asked a cabbie to describe his life to me and he didn"t stop talking until I arrived home half an hour later. He told me many interesting stories and this is one of them: “Some very strange things happen late at night. The other day I was taking a woman home from a party. She had a little dog with her. When we got to her house she found that she"d lost her key. So, I waited in the cab with the dog while she climbed up the window.” “I waited … and waited … After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb up the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought that I was trying to rob the house! Luckily, the woman came downstairs, she"d gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog. I was in such a hurry to get away that I forgot to ask her for the fare(车资,车费).”

举一反三
There have been many great inventions, which have changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today---the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have made as much effect as the wheel. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn"t have to explore(开发) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a wish to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
68. The first great invention ever known was ______.
A. the camera B. the wheel C. the electric light D. the radio
69. Which of the following was turned out nearly at the same time with the jet plane?

C. which country made the first step into space D. why cars were very important
71. We can safely come to the conclusion that people"s life will be made even better through ______.
A. new discoveries B. greater inventions

It seems like everywhere a person goes there is at least one person with a cell phone to his ear. Even in places where cell phone usage is banned such as concert halls or movie theatres there is the 66 offender, or at least a few people using the text messaging feature on their phones.
Cell phone usage has exploded over the past decade and continues to rise. Nearly 200 million people in the United States have cell phones and there are 67 over one billion users worldwide. That means there are a lot of phones 68 their frequencies over the airwaves at any given time.
Concern has arisen over whether or not cell phone usage can harm a person’s health. Brain cancer rates in the United States have risen since cell phones were 69 , leading some people to wonder if cell phone usage is the reason for the 70 .
Some people say the biggest danger with cell phones isn’t from the either real or perceived potential to develop cancer, but from 71 while using the cell phone. How many of us have seen vehicles driving quite erratically(不稳定地)down the road. And we often see when we get near the vehicle the driver on a cell phone is 72 on a cell phone. It is a proven fact that a driver on a cell phone is 73 attentive and more likely to get in an accident. And, hands-free sets aren’t the answer that some people may believe. Yes, they 74 both hands for driving and prevent a person from getting a sore arm, 75 the driver’s mind is still 76 the conversation and therefore less attentive to what is 77 around him or her on the road.

A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions.The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard,such as Japan,focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed,such as the United States,the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.
“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,”said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda.“A person"s culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression."
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons (情感符号),which are used to convey a writer’s emotions over email and text messaging.The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn,while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States the emoticons :) and :--) show a happy face,whereas the emoticons :( or :--( show a sad face.However,Japanese tend to use the symbol (^-^) to indicate a happy face,and ( ;_;) to indicate a sad face.
“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person"s eyes when determining emotion,as eyes tend to be quite subtle (微妙的),”said Masuda.“In the United States, where open emotion is quite common,it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a person"s face.”
60.The text mainly tells us that______.
A. cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B. culture is the key to interpreting facial emotions
C. different emoticons are preferred in different cultures,
D.people from different cultures express emotions differently
61.If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is, true or false,he will probably______.
A. read the whole face B. focus on the mouth
C. look into the eyes D. judge by the voice
62.People used to believe that___________.
A.some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognized
B.people in the world interpreted basic emotions in different ways
C.people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotions;
D.people all’ over the world understood basic emotions in the same way
63.The computer emoticons used by the Americans show that_____________.
A.they express their feelings openly
B.they tend to control their emotions
C.they are good at conveying their emotions
D.they use simpler emoticons to show their feelings
The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake at 5:46 a. rn. on January 17, 1995,Kobe (神户) and its surrounding areas suffered a killer earthquake. Only two other events in this century, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II caused more deaths in Japan than this earthquake. The epicenter was at the northern tip of Awaji Island. The quake registered 7.2 on the Richter scale (里氏震级). The greatest amount of damage was seen in the Japanese port city of Kobe, and at final count 6 348 people had lost their lives.
The people of the area were quite unprepared for such a big earthquake. Experts had said that most modern buildings would be quite safe even from an earthquake as strong as the Great Kanto Earthquake. This was clearly not true. Television cameras showed the many buildings that had fallen down. The highway that ran through the city had fallen over on its side looking as if it had been pushed over by a giant.
Thousands of people were homeless, However, some of the finest human qualities were seen in the time of crises (moment of great danger). People formed long lines for water and other supplies. They shared what they had with one another. People from young to old stopped to talk to each other and give a few encouraging words. The people living in the area knew that their old life had been destroyed. They believe they can rebuild their life, and a better one,
