    Three months after the government stopped issuing（发放）or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security（安全）concerns, some café owners are having financial concerns of their own.

    The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway, but for café owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.

    “I heard in a request to open up an Internet café and received the conditions,” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45,000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR100,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes.”

    Having an Internet café without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee. “I’m avoiding closing the place, but it’s been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is.” Obeidallah said. “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”

    The decision took many café owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet café, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place, filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.

    “I did all that was asked and rented a place. And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me, saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet café permits and that one can’t even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80, 000,” Al-harbi added.

    As for government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way, but security concerns come before profit（盈利）.

    67．The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes ______.

    A. to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafes

    B. to make café owners earn less profit from their business

    C. to stop the use of the information superhighway on Internet

    D. to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway

    68．The government’s decision led to the fact that many café owners _______.

    A. suffered heavy financial losses           B. asked to open up Internet cafes

    C. continued to operate Internet cafes        D. asked the government for payment

    69．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means _____.

    A. to be studied                                 B. to be put into practice

    C. to be changed                          D. to be improved

    70．The café owners found the government’s decision ______.

    A. surprising and unacceptable                     B. understandable and acceptable

    C. reasonable but surprising                 D. surprising but acceptable

    　　I had looked forward to this day for a long time．Finally, I, Kirsty Sturart, would stand on the top of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe．Although I climbed often in my native Scotland, this was my first trip to the Alps．My companions－Jean Pierre, Maurice Gautier, and Mary Sargent－and I left our camp early and planned to reach the top by late morning．

    　　As we neared the top, large clouds gathered and it began to snow．We found shelter and decided to wait for the snow to stop．After three hours, however, we decided to go back and try again the next day．We started down the mountain in the thick snow．Jean Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them．As he was returning to us, he started to fall．

    　　His fall started an avalanche(雪崩)and it was falling towards us! I was swept away by the heavy snow．Jean Pierre hurried down to me．“Are you OK?” he asked．

    　　“I think I broke my leg,” I answered．

    　　“I’d better radio for help!” he said．“Where are the others?” We couldn’t see Maurice or Mary anywhere．

    　　Jean Pierre called the emergency radio number, and the police said they would send help right away．It seemed like hours, but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter．The helicopter couldn’t land on the mountainside, so they lowered two men, two dogs, and a stretcher(担架)．One man ran to me, but I told him to search for the others．The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig crazily in the snow．

    　　Bernardo, the lead dog, found Mary’s scarf and led the rescuers to her．Maurice was nearby．The men gave us hot drinks and warm blankets and then prepared to lift us into the helicopter．Two men inside the helicopter pulled us up with the ropes．I went first on the stretcher．

    　　Once we were safely inside, the helicopter flew to the hospital in Chamonix．Our poor rescuers and their dogs had to climb all the way back down the mountain．Later we would find these brave men and thank them for saving our lives．
