     The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7.30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.

By 9.45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11.00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.

Their experience suggests that the words an the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6.30 -8.30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8.00pm or 8.30pm means possible dinner, but 9.30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.

But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6.30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive - looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6.30, she likes to be them, if not on lime, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we're  young, we're probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.

The accepted custom at present is confusing (混乱的), sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element (成分) of surprise.

68. The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean______.

              A. tired            B. crazy                C. curious                D. hopeless

69. Jane and David' s story is used to show that______ .

              A. petty-goer8 usually get hungry at parties

              B. party invitations can be confusing

             C. people should ask for food at parties

             D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull

70. For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably be considered_______.

    A. very difficult         B. particularly thoughtful

              C. friendly and polite                     D. socially unacceptable

71. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_______.

              A. are likely to arrive late for a party

             B. care little about the party time

             C. haven' t really grown up yet

             D. like surprises at parties

72. What is the general idea of the text?     

             A. It' s safe to arrive late just when food is served.

             B. It' s wise to eat something before going to a party.

             C. It' s important to follow social rules of party-going.

             D. It' s necessary to read invitations carefully.

A 16-year-old South Dakota boy who became lost while hunting and spent 16 hours alone in the Black Hills National Forest says he was scared but still managed to make a survival plan.
Austin DuVall, of Rapid City, became lost on Nov.3 while hunting with his father. He ran after a deer, and soon found himself alone. “I ran after a deer, but I didn’t get it,” he said. “Then I was really lost.”
He had only his hunting rifle(步枪) and the clothes he was wearing. He had no food or water and had nothing that could help him find his way to safety. “I knew that no one could hear me. I decided to just sleep and get up in the morning and find safety,” he said.
Austin climbed up on a rock and slept through the night. Then he awoke and relied on skills he learned in a hunter safety course. He followed a stream to an occupied cabin. The couple there called his parents and cooked him a breakfast. “ It’s probably one meal I’ll never forget for the rest of my life,” he said.
After DuVall’s disappearance, a lot of emergency officials and more than 100 volunteers went searching for him. “He wasn’t sitting there waiting for someone to come and find him,” said his father, Steve DuVall. “We didn’t find him; he found himself.”
Mike Kintigh, regional supervisor for the Game, Fish & Parks Department, said one or two hunters will go missing each year, but rarely for more than 24 hours. “We’re a little bit unique in the Black Hills as it’s hard to get lost for a very long time. That’s because we’ve got so many roads here compared to the Rocky Mountains,” Kintigh said. “You can certainly spend a very uncomfortable night in the woods like Austin did.”
【小题1】After Austin realized he lost his way, he ___.

A.was very nervous but excited
B.cried aloud for help
C.tried to find a safe place
D.decided to sleep in the wild
【小题2】 Who saved Austin according to his father?
A.The couple in the cabin.
B.Emergency officials.
C.Volunteers.
D.Himself.
【小题3】From what Mike Kintigh said, we learn that _______.
A.if someone gets lost in the Rocky Mountains, it is hard to find a way out
B.too many people go missing in the Black Hills every year
C.the rescue team is skillful enough to find the lost people in less than 24 hours
D.people who are lost in the Black Hills have to spend a night in the woods

How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.
For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have access(机会) to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤器)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable(可靠), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(浏览) the Internet.
A few other tips●Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
●Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.
●Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
●And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
【小题1】The passage is mainly about the subject of _______.

A.American children going on-lineB.Internet in America
C.appreciating InternetD.opposing children’s on-line
【小题2】The best way to protect children from improper material is _______.
A.to install(安装) a content screener on the computer
B.to buy some search engines for the children
C.to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet
D.to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong
【小题3】Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A.Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children.
B.Children’s not having access to Internet may have effect on their progress.
C.Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet.
D.Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.
【小题4】According to the passage, we can infer that _______.
A.soft wares fit for children want programming
B.a child who is on-line is in danger
C.Internet is a jungle full of danger
D.Internet contains a lot of harmful sites
