    D  
    Every August on the island of Heimaey, young people often take a walk along the street throughout the night. Why their parents allow them to stay out ? The children of Heimaey are going to save young puffins ---- small black-and-white seabirds.
    The cliffs（悬崖）above the town are home to a large group of puffins . The birds dig holes all around the cliffs . These holes are their homes. The young stay in the holes for about seven weeks. Then they begin to leave . Some move slowly on their undeveloped wings and feet down to the sea around Heimaey. There they swim, which they can do naturally , and learn to dive for fish . Others, however, may lose their way at night and find themselves in the town instead. On the ground, the young birds are in trouble. Because their wings are fully developed, they cannot take off quickly to sea and safety. The birds then become a good meal for cats and other animals .
    For many years, islanders have help the young puffins. At night in late August, children carrying thick paper boxes and lights hurry out to catch puffins . They spend most of the night running after the birds. They put the birds they've caught into boxes and take good care of them .
    The next morning the children take the puffins to the sea and set them free. The bird will live at sea until they are at least two years old. Then they will return to the cliffs to build homes of their own.

    It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, “I'll send Mum some roses(玫瑰).”While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, madam?” he asked. The assistant(店员) was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen(一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).
    “No, I have to have red roses,” he said. “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite.”
    After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man.

It was well worth twenty－five dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.
    As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地).

    There were smiling children all the way. Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Maiaysia. I was moved.
    I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
    It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
    From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
    The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
    I looked forward to the return journey.
    1. The author expected the train trip to be
    A. adventurous  B. pleasant   C. exciting   D. dull
    2. What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?
    A. The friendly country people.        B. The mountains along the way.
    C. The crowds of people in the streets.    D. The simple lunch served on the train.
    3. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word "relish" in the second
    paragraph?    A. choose   B. enjoy    C. prepare for   D. carry on
    4, Where was the writer going?
    A. Johore Baru,   B. The Causeway.   C. Butterworth,   D. Singapore.
    5. What can we learn from the story?
    A, Comfort in traveling by train.   B. Pleasure of living in the country.
    C. Reading gives people delight.    D. Smiles brighten people up.

    Dreams are necessary in our life. We know that about 25% of our _ 21__ time is spent dreaming. This is true for everyone, whether you are the kind of person who ordinarily remembers your dreams or not. Often our dreams show us “the other side of the picture”,   22   us aware of the things we have failed to take conscious   23   of during the day. For instance, if you dream that your new boss, who seems gruff (语言粗暴的) and unfriendly during the working hours, is smiling at you and   24   you for your work, perhaps you have subliminally (下意识地)   25  up signals that day that his bark is worse than his bite.
    All of us need dreams, and the   26   we are, the more necessary they appear to be. Babies spend   27   half their sleep in the dreaming phase. When adult subjects in an experiment were given drugs that eliminated（排除）their   28   for several nights, they became increasingly irritable（易怒的） and   29  , and often began having difficulty concentrating. Too much dreaming appears to have its drawbacks too. If you doze late on Sunday mornings, you often wake up feeling tired. The   30   is that the more you sleep, the longer your dreams become.
    21. A. playing       B. working    C. sleeping     D. resting

    “High income is not as good as high age ,and high age is not as good as high spirits.”

Dancing , jogging , dieting , even singing and shouting together are said to do good to one’s health.
    Nevertheless , some people think that high spirits is vital to the quality of one’s life . If you are in high spirits , you’ll find everything pleasing and comfortable in life: warm sunshine , blue sky, white clouds , happy birds ,comfortable breeze , sweet smiles ,and so on . You seem to have the friends across the world. Your life will be happy at every moment. You will have a good health and can make more money if you live longer.

    C. It tells us that to live is to make more money.

    Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more than valuable lessons from it than from school.
    When I joined the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.
    See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape . We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature (幼稚的) and only thought of myself, sometimes even giving up when I was tired or hurting. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to recover.
    After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity (大学代表队) football has taught me so much more than just what my tasks are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us unite as a group of hard-working young men, who will succeed in life.
    65. What is the text mainly about?
    A. How the author dislikes the game of football.
    B. When the author began to play football.
    C. How the author has changed his attitude to football.
    D. What sport the author likes best.
    66. The author thinks football is ________.
    A. just a game    B. of a mental sport    C. hard to pass out  D. not worth his effort
    67. From the text we can infer ________.
    A. the author joined the football team with a clear aim.
    B. football only brought the author certain tasks
    C. the author worked all summer to get ready for the season.
    D. the author never lost heart when he met with difficulties.
    68. In the third paragraph, the phrase “getting in shape” probably means ________.
    A. becoming physically fit             B. designing the playground
    C. losing weight                     D. measuring the track
