Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?

At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). ___71____　 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green – eyed monster” and the UK is its home.

Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. ____72___ Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.

_____73___. But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.

“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”

_______74__ They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. ____75_____.It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.

A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.

B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.

C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”　　　

D. It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.

E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.

F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.

G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem

　Students long to attend colleges or universities for various reasons. In my opinion, the most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences and learn to be independent.

　　Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive and in order to be employed in the future they have to be well equipped with knowledge and skills.

　　Also, students go to colleges or universities to have experiences and learn to live on their own. Going to colleges often means having the opportunity to meet with different people from different parts of the country. They learn to communicate and co-operate with each other. For most students, we guess, it is the first time that they have been away from home. They are faced with many new situations and have to learn to solve them independently, making decisions on their own and dealing with various things themselves. So colleges and universities help them grow up.

Surely, colleges and universities become their first choice.

68．The underlined word “primary”in the first paragraph means _____.

A .first and most important B. earliest C. latest D .most possible

69. One of the common reasons for students to go to college is _______.

A. to go abroad and earn more money B to help others better

C to learn more knowledge and skills D to read more books in the library

70 Students must be well equipped with knowledge and skills because______

A there is more and more knowledge and skills now .

B the job market is competitive and it’s hard to find d job

C they want to learn to be independent

D they want to make decisions on their own

Keeping fish as pets is a popular hobby. Fish take up very little room, are inexpensive to feed, and provide an interesting and colorful display in any room. A tank, or an aquarium, must be chosen carefully. Many new aquarium owners buy too many fish for their tanks. Fish can’t be crowded. Two fish can live comfortably in each gallon of water, only ten fish can live in a five-gallon tank. Can you see why a goldfish would not live long in a tiny, round bowl? If too many fish are kept together, they will not have enough oxygen or room to swim about freely. They will have more diseases. Also, some kinds of fish can’t be kept together. As your interest in fish grows, the number of fish you have may grow, too. Then you may want to invest in another tank. If you start with a ten-gallon aquarium, what kind of fish would be best? The two major groups of tropical fish are those that lay eggs and those that give birth to live young. If you want to raise young fish, guppies would be the best choice because they can produce many babies in a short time. You can buy fish and aquariums in most pet stores. Ask the owners to help you choose the right fish. You can also find many books about tropical fish in the library.

64. If nine fish live in three gallons of water, the fish may _________.

A. breathe easily　　　　 B. swim about freely C. get ill D. not get enough to eat

66. In the passage the author provides us with some useful tips on how to keep fish well EXCEPT ________.
