    Just how comfortable is your sofa? Would you be prepared to let a stranger crash out there for the night? And, on the basis of a bit of email correspondence and seeing a photo of the sofa belonging to 'A. N. Unknown', would you travel halfway across the world to do the same? It might sound crazy, but this is exactly what millions of people have done whilst participating in an activity known as couch surfing.
    Couch surfing is traveling on a budget, using a broad network of contacts in order to get overnight accommodation for free, or at as little cost as possible. Participants join dedicated(专业的) websites, providing as much information about themselves as possible in order to make others feel comfortable hosting them, or using them as a host.
    Various safety features are generally available in such online networks, like verification of names and addresses, personal references, and 'vouching for' a particular member as a reliable host or guest.
    As well as the financial advantages of couch surfing, participants also claim that the practice gives them a more unique, authentic travel experience, allowing them to experience culture and cuisine through the locals, rather than from the confines of sanitized tourist accommodation. We open our minds and lives and welcome the knowledge that becomes available through cultural exchange.” Said Casey Fenton, founder of Couch Surfing. Com. “CouchSurfing wants to change not only the way we travel, but how we relate to the world.”

    According to the American Automobile（car）Association, since 1964 all cars sold in the United States have been equipped with seat belts（带子）(They are also called safety belts) Many studies of car accidents have shown that safety belts can save lives. One study showed that forty percent of those killed in car accidents could have been saved if they have been wearing seat belts.
    Unfortunately seat belts are worn only by a small number of drivers and passengers    about fifteen percent in cities and only nine percent in small towns. And safety belt can not protect people who do not wear them.
    In order to find out what kinds of people do wear seat belts, a study was made in several cities in of the United States. The following facts were learned about those who use their safety belts.
    1. They do not smoke while driving.
    2. They had more education than less educated people
    3. They know some one who was hurt(but not killed) in an accident
    Advertisements based on these facts have been printed in newspapers and magazines in order to teach people the importance of using seat belt. But these advertisements have not helped much.

    When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store , it often carries a label(标签) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers who deal with the cheapest products would be pleased to do away with labels entirely.
    However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket , from a store , a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.
    This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of , the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.
    The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren’t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.
    小题1:The author doesn’t agree that_______.
    A．some clothes may carry more than one label
    B．some clothing stores sell cheap dresses
    C．shops can sell products with or without labels
    D．buyers will believe what the label says
    小题2:This article mainly refers to__________.
    A．making furs and clothesB．protecting buyers with law
    C．keeping the buyers informedD．businessmen and sellers
    小题3:Which of the following is true?
    A．Not all buyers know the materials they are buying.
    B．A fur coat with a high price often carries a false label.
    C．A label only says what material the product is made of .
    D．A T-shirt seldom carries a label.

    A pair of twin-brother ligers, a rare lion-tiger hybrid(杂种), have become superstars in China's southernmost island province of Hainan after becoming the first ligers in the country to reach their first birthday.
    Tens of thousands of tourists visited the liger brothers at Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park during the week-long May Day holiday that ended on Sunday, hoping to catch a glimpse of the rare animals. At least 10,000 people signed a red banner when the park celebrated the liger's birthday on May 2. People expressed the hope that the twins would be strong and healthy, the Hainan Daily reports. Zookeepers even made the twins a special birthday cake out of beef and eggs.
    The ligers, born on May 2, 2005 , are named 'Ping Ping' and 'An An', which together translate as 'safe and sound'. Their mother Huan Huan is a six-year-old tigress and their father is a four-year – old lion named Xiao Erhei.  The couple first gave birth to a liger in June 2004 but the cub (幼兽)  died of respiratory(呼吸的）failure 72 hours later.
    The pregnancy (怀孕) rate for lion-tiger couples is only between one and two percent and the cubs normally have a short life expectancy due to the differences in their chromosomes(染色体). Zoologists say only six to eight ligers are living in the world. China's first tiger-lion hybrid cub was born at Hongshan Zoo in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, in 2002. But it died a week later.
    Ping Ping and An An have broken the survival record set by a liger who lived for 113 days at Hongshan Zoo.
    1. Why can Ping Ping and An An become superstars?
    A. Because they are the most beautiful ligers.
    B. Because they are the cleverest ligers.
    C. Because they are the most attractive ligers.
    D. Because they are the first ligers to live for a year.
    2. Why can't ligers live long ?
    A. Because their chromosomes are different.
    B. Because they are too small when they are born.
    C. Because their parents don't live long.
    D. Because they are short of food.
    3. How many ligers did the passage mention?
    A. Three.         B. Four.          C. Five.         D. Six.
    4. What is the best title of this passage?
    A. China's longest living twin ligers celebrate their lst birthday
    B. Why can't ligers in the world live long
    C. How to raise ligers safely
    D. The story behind the ligers

    People living more than three thousand meters above sea level find it difficult to raise vegetables all year long. People living in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia, for example, cannot grow vegetables outdoors during the months of May through September. It is very cold in the highlands at that time of year. If traditional farming methods are used, vegetables will not survive.
    However, there is another way to grow vegetables throughout the year in cold areas. It is a method of gardening developed by a private agency called World Neighbors. The method uses “hot houses” built below ground. A hot house is a building covered with plastic or glass in which vegetables or flowers are grown. The traditional hot house is built above ground.
    The air temperature is cold in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia during the winter. But, the winter sun is hot. So, World Neighbors advises farmers there to build hot houses below ground. The design is simple. The material does not cost much. Here is how World Neighbors says to build it: Dig a hole two and one-half meters wide and six meters long. Make it about two meters deep. Build wall with a door in one end of the hole. Dig steps from the ground down to the door.
    Now, build a wall along the top edge of the hole. Make it about one-half meters tall. Earth bricks work fine. Build two shorter walls on the ends. These will be uneven; one side will be as high as the existing wall. The other side will be at ground level. Leave a small opening in each of these sloping walls. This prevents the hot house from becoming too hot. Now, make the roof. Build a wood frame. Cover it with clear plastic. Connect it to the brick walls.
    The underground hot house we have described is large enough for two raised vegetable beds. Each is one meter wide and six meters long. Each is seeded and watered just as if it were in a garden above ground.
    The dirt walls protect the growing plants from the cold. The clear plastic roof permits the sun’s heat to enter. At night, the roof should be covered with straw. This helps prevent cold air from entering. An under ground hot house this size will provide enough vegetables for one family. Groups needing more vegetables can make it bigger.
    66. If you lived in Peru, you _______.
    A. should raise the special kinds of vegetables that can endure cold
    B. could not plant at all
    C. had to work out some new unusual plans
    D. would not have many vegetables to eat
    67. To our surprise, the “hot houses” invented by World Neighbors are _______.
    A. covered with a transparent plastic ceiling
    B. built under ground
    C. quite small
    D. hotter than traditional ones
    68. The hot house can be kept warm by using _______.
    A. a big oven  B. an electricity heater
    C. the heat of the earth’s interior   D. the sun shine
    69. The measure to prevent the hot house from becoming too hot is to _______.
    A. make the roof sloped B. dig holes on the walls
    C. make the wall not vertical D. make the walls shorter than the ground level
    70. According to the passage, the method suggested by World Neighbors is _______.
    A. new and difficult      B. uneasy to explain
    C. at trial step D. simple and practical
