1．"I didn't hear them call my name，"explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens（AT） as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004．"Are you ready？"is what she heard．Then she said，"l shook my head no，and then they said yes'and it was announced again．"

"I was so shocked!I  never believed that it could actually really happen．"Present in the audience that day were：her mother and father，older brother，her  Friends．and her dance teacher．
     Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，.4T asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete．；She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six．She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all．I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her"．
     One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident．He was 18．She found writing helped her get through the rough days．She said，"I write a lot about my brother．I write a lot，a lot，a lot…"
      As Miss Louisiana Teen，she traveled around the state speaking to teens（青少年） about the dangers of drinking and driving．In her role as Miss Teen USA，Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，iii addition to many other things to help the youth．
     When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers，she said，"Don't let anyone change you．Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself．That way，it is easy to be yourself．"

17．"Have a nice day!"may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless．When my friend Maxie says"Have a nice day"with a smile，I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me．I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well．
"Have a nice day．Next!"This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door．The words come out in the same tone （腔调） with a fixed procedure．They are spoken at me，not to me．Obviously，the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business．
    The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other．Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting．As soon as you hear it，you know the meeting is at an end．Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say"oh，you may have a tooth out？I'm terribly sorry，but have a nice day．"
    The expression can be pleasant．If a stranger says"Have a nice day"to you，you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you．
    Although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting．The salesgirl，the waitress，the teacher，and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day．But in a strange and comfortable way，it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much．While the expression may not often be sincere，it is always spoken．The point is that people say it all the time when they like．

16．Just finishing loading his car，my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen．"I guess filling my thermos（保温瓶） is all I have left to do，and then I'm off．"Down the drain went the hot water that had been warming his thermos．
With a nostalgic（怀旧的） look on his face，he softly said："Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom．"The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother，who is sadly no longer with us．
"Oh honey，I know she's watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face，"I responded，tears in my eyes．
One morning years ago when we were leaving，mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos．Mom then casually said，"Jerry，if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while，your coffee would stay hot for longer then．"With her simple suggestion，his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense，well，of course it would!
He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water．Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee．Mom smiled as Jerry did so．
Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten．She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law．
The lasting memories don't necessarilycome from major moments in life．Memories are often made during those small，ordinary times Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones．

15．It happened to me recently．I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President．A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，"a brilliantly （精彩地）written book"．However，he then went on to talk about Mr．Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all．I sensed that I was talking to a book liar．
  And it seems that my friend is not the only one．Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't．In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets"，Dreams From My Father is at number 9．The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often （I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten．But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984．I think it's really brilliant．
  The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it．It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky （I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either） and Herman Melville．
  Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to"impress"someone they were speaking to．This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
  But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K．Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella （ah，the big sellers，in other words）．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story （I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58percent said they had never done so）．

64．How did the author find his friend a book liar？D．
A．By judging his manner of speaking．
B．By looking into his background．

14．China is a land of bicycles．At least it was back in 1992when I traveled the country．Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle．Millions of them，all black．Cars were rare．Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I've found the opposite is true．There are millions of cars．However，people still use their bicycles to get around．For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today．Bicycles also come in different colors-sivler，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want．
  It's fun watching people biking．They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks（人行道）．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide．
  Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle．Great weather accompanied my great buy．I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home．
  My first ride home was orderly （守秩序的）．To be safe，I stayed with a"pack"of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times．I didn't want to get hit．So I took the ride carefully．
  Crossing the streets was the biggest problem．It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States．The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck．
  I finally made it home．The feeling on the bicycle was amazing．The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful．I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people．Biking made me feel alive．

56．According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today？B．
A．Because they are traditional and safe．
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive．
C．Because they are colorful and available．
D．Because they are fast and environment friendly．
57．The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intendedC．

A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills．
B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding．
C．The author was praised by the other bikers．
D．The author took great pleasure in biking．

13．The  internet will open up new vistas （前景），creat the global village--you can make new friends all around the world．That，at least，is what it promised us．The difficulty is that
    It did not take the human mind into account．The reality is that we cannot keep relationship than a limited number of people．No matter how hard the internet tries to put
    You in communication，its best efforts will be defeated by your mind．
    The problem is twofold（双重的）．First，there is a limit on the number of people we can hole in mind and have a meaningful relationship with．That number is about 150and is set by the size of our brain．Second，the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest （投入） in then．We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what's left among as many others as we can．The problem is that if we invest little time in a person，our engagementwith that person will decline （减弱）until eventually it dies into"someone I once knew"．
    This is not，of course，to say that the internet doesn't serve a socially valuable function．Of course it does．But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world，but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to more to the other side of the world．
     In one sense，that's a good thing．But it also has a disadvantage．If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then，then certainly you aren't using your time to make new friends where you now live．And I suspect that probably isn't the best use of your time．Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other，face to face．The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end，but it won't stop that happening eventually．

72．What is stressed in the first paragraph？D
A．The present situation of the internet．
B．The difficulty in communication on the internet．
C．The socially valuable function of the internet．
D．The role of the human mind in the internet communication．

A．appointment   B．connection   C．interview    D．agreement
74．According to the passenger，the author holds the view thatA．

B．the internet determines the quality of social relationships
C．the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D．the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
75．What is the author's attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships？D
A．He is uncertain about it．  B．He is hopeful of it．
