"My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy," says a second-grade teacher in Saugus, California. "Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course." These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and more.
The children don't just plan any city. They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect ( 建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. "Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom," says the teacher who developed this program. "They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected ‘official’ and ‘planning group’ make all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser."
CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the children's own standards.
63. The Program is designed _____.
A. to direct kids to build solar collectors
B. to train young scientists for city planning
C. to develop children's problem-solving abilities
D. to help young architects know more about designing
64. An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom ______.
A. to find out kids’ creative ideas B. to discuss with the teacher
C. to give children lectures D. to help kids with their program
65. Who is the designer of the program?
A. An official. B. An architect. C. A teacher. D. A scientist.
66. The children feel free in the program because______.
A. they can design future buildings themselves B. they have new ideas and rich imagination
C. they are given enough time to design models D. they need not worry about making mistakes
63--66 CDCD
63.C 点评：文章最后一段说明了CBEP项目的性质及目的。
64.D 点评：第二段第二句话an architect resits the classroom once a week的目的是the aid。
65.C 点评：第一段第一句话a second-teacher说自己学生已是有某种能力；第二段最后一句话the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser，这些表明教师是该项目的设计者、实践者、操作者。

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on goes forward at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish（完美）: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round". She is always open to persuasion: indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
According to the passage, a man’s shopping is based on _______.
A．his money B．his hobbies C．his need D．his friends
Why does a lady welcome suggestions from anyone while buying a dress?
A．Because she wants to buy a dress that every one thinks suits her.
B．Because she doesn’t know how to buy a dress.
C．Because she doesn’t know whether to buy it or not.
D．Because she wants to show herself off in public.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Most men have patience with trying it on while buying a jacket.
B．Most women have a poor sense of value when buying a dress.
C．A woman’s shopping is based on her need. k+s-5#u
D．A man doesn’t pay much attention to the price of the clothes he wants to buy.
The passage mainly talks about the ______ between men shoppers and women shoppers for clothes.
A．similarities B．differences C．varieties D．intentions

British author JK Rowling was at the release of her latest Harry Potter book called “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” at the Natural History Museum in London, Friday July 20, 2007.
J.K. Rowling has been spotted at cafes in Scotland working on a detective novel, a British newspaper reported Saturday.
