Some people decide to rebuild or redecorate(重新装饰)their homes at some point，and sometimes the job takes longer than expected．The Winchester house in San Jose，California was rebuilt over 38 years! One reason that this house took so long to rebuild was that the owner of the house thought that ghost(鬼)lived there．
Sarah Winchester was married to Oliver Winchester．After Mr. Winchester died in 1886．Mrs. Winchester visited a fortune teller(算命人)in Boston to see what the future held for her．The fortune teller told Mrs. Winchester that she would be visited by ghosts because Mr. Winchester made money from the sale of Winchester rifles(枪)，and all of the people who were killed by those rifles would come to his house for revenge(复仇)．The fortune teller told her that there was only one way she could balance the deaths of those people with the money her husband had made．That was by using the money her husband earned to continuously rebuild the Winchester house．Mrs. Winchester followed the fortune teller’s advice．
Today，the house has 13 bathrooms，47 fireplaces，40 staircases（楼梯），and three elevators(电梯)．Guests at the house can look out over the land around the Winchester house from any of the house’s 10，000 windows．It is also easy for guests to get lost in the house．There are 20，000 doorways and closets in the Winchester house．Behind many of these doors，guests can find nothing but walls! The purpose of all these changes is to confuse(迷惑)the ghosts who live in the house．
66．Where can you find the Winchester house now?
A．In any part of the world． B．In the place where ghosts live．
C．In California in the USA． D．At some point in Boston．
67．When did Sarah Winchester and Olive Winchester get married?

It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you that it is your aunt's birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?
One of the greatest sources of tension (紧张情绪) between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.
However，at the same time，your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.
There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease (缓解) the tension.
* Make your plans in advance. Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.
* When something with your friends interferes (冲突) with a family event，try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.
* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.
Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome (结果). You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration for the feelings of both your family and your friends，you can solve the problem in a tender way.
The purpose of the first paragraph is to _________.
A. show a disagreement of views B. serve as a description of teenager trouble
C. serve as an introduction to the discussion
D. show the popularity of teenager problem
The tension between teenagers and their families is caused by the fact that____________.
A. teenagers don’t like to take family demands
B. parents want to keep their family under control
C. parents feel unhappy that their children make so many friends
D. both parents and teenagers don’t pay attention to each other’s feeling much
What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To inform us of parent and teenager tension.
B. To advise teenagers how to deal with their tension with their families.
C. To persuade parents to show consideration for teenagers.
D. To tell us about a common teenager problem.

While watching the Olympics the other night,I came across an incredible sight.The 1 was swimming and started with only three men.For one reason or another,two of them had a 2 start,so they were disqualified.That would have been difficult enough,not having anyone to 3 against.
I watched the man 4 off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong.Now I’m not an expert 5 but I do know a good dive 6 a poor one,and this was not exactly medal 7 .I listened to the crowd begin to 8 this poor man who was clearly having a 9 time.Finally he made his turn to start back.It was 10 .He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few 11 strokes,the crowd had changed.No longer were they laughing,but beginning to 12 .Some even began to 13 things like,“Come on,you can do it！”,and he 14 finished his race.The crowd went 15 .Even though he recorded one of the 16 times in Olympic history,this man gave more heart than any of the other 17 .
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals,feeling they have 18 been cheated out of gold,or when they act so 19 in front of their competitors,it is nice to watch an underdog (失败者),a man that gave his all—knowing that he had no chance,but competed because of his 20 and the spirit of the games.

Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉).
ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."
Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.
44．According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is_________.
A．in existence B．imaginative C．not real D．impossible
45．ESP lets people know___________.
A．about events before they happen
B．about events after they happen
C．about events that are happening some distance away
D．A and C
46．In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means ____.
A．things that may not happen
B．things that happen in a dream
C．things that must happen
D．things that happen by accident
47．This article is mainly about_________.
A．the human dream B．the sixth sense
C．the human mind D．a crowded bus
