[1] Every time I think of happiness，I should sink into my sweet memories．My fun memories of childhood is one silly thing，a kind trick．

[2] The story begins that our cat gave birth to two babies in a shelf，secretly．We were very happy with a little sadness，because we love eats but we already had got two and mum told us she was looking for someone to adopt the coming baby cats．We were unwilling to send them out．nor were we brave enough to annoy mum by opposing her．So what? We are good teammates and we chose to cover the truth! Luckily we got a very large porch that our parents seldom went up there．We keep a shelf there to support the kittens．We made them a warm bed with cotton and made sure the shelf strong enough to resist wind or rain．We made an agreement to tell mum that from then on we did the cleaning jobs and mention nothing about the kitten things to anyone．

[3]However，one day，my mum accidentally visited the porch to do some cleaning and was surprised to find the catty mum with her babies rightly sleeping in a nice shelf! She was so curious and we were so worried．My elder sister had gone to school and we three found nothing to explain but telling mum the truth．We were so sad and begging mum to keep them stay. We promised not to cheat mum again and should study harder．Luckily，dad and mum cared our thoughts so much，so we won at last and got the right to                           .All we learnt in this lesson is that it's right to help the weak and struggle for the things we love，but we ought to tell the truth，always，and in another way，We should learn to communicate first.

Officials say the islands of Tokelau in the South Pacific Ocean have become the world's first territory totally powered by the sun．The move is expected to save money and ease the environmental burden of depending on imported fossil fuels．

Tokelau's three main atolls(环状珊瑚岛)，or islands，now have enough solar capacity to meet all of their electricity needs．Until now．Tokelau has been 100％dependent on diesel (柴油) for producing electricity．That has burdened the country with heavy economic and environmental costs．

The three atolls of Tokelau are about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii and are administered by New Zealand．

Each atoll received its own solar power grid (电网)system．New Zealand officials estimated the cost of the project to build the three solar grids at around seven million dollars．The last of the grids has been completed．

It is estimated that oil imports make up to 30％of national income in some parts of the Pacific．The move to solar power could save Tokelau about one million dollars a year．Tokelau will now be able to spend more on social programs to help its citizens．

Other South Pacific islands are attempting similar projects．The island nations of Samoa and Tuvalu are aiming to get all of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020．The Cook Islands plans to start moving to solar panels and wind turbines．And most houses in the South Pacific groups of islands will begin to use solar water heaters．

East Timor's government has promised that no households in the capital，Dili，would be using firewood for cooking by 2015．It also says 50％of the country's electricity will come from renewable sources by the end of the decade．

New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully says the country will hold a Pacific energy summit in March this year．He said the meeting would build on the success of clean and affordable energy solutions for Tokelau，Tonga，and the Cook Islands．

Americans are buying more products and services than ever before through the Internet．And experts say the popularity of online sales is likely to spread to other countries．Online sales now represent as much as one-tenth of all retail sales in the United States．This has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal．

Lynne Shaner used the Internet to buy everything she needed．Other than food，90％of her purchases were made on her home computer．She said．“I find that．by being able to go online and choose the things that I need to choose，and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep，I eliminate all the driving，all the crowds，all the noise of that，and I usually get a better selection。”

There are a lot of people like her．57％of Americans have bought something electronically in the past few months．Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business．

Cornell University marketing professor says traditional stores can keep their customers by selling goods like clothing，which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing．He says the stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship．He also says some stores can please customers by offering to set up or repair electronic products．

Bill Martin is the founder of ShopperTrak which helps stores learn about their customers．He says that traditional stores offer a social experience that some people enjoy and the experience and emotion in the buying decision before they're ready to part with money can't be gotten on—line．It's a rather cold process．Bill Martin says traditional stores can provide goods to buyers more quickly than online stores．

While e-commerce worries some business owners，the worry for delivery services like FedEx and UPS is keeping up with the number of packages．UPS Manager Dana Kline says her company is very busy at this time of year．

69．What can we learn about Bill Martin?

A．He assists traditional stores in selling products．

B．He founded a delivery company．

C．He is in favor of online shopping．

D．He thinks online sales are quicker than retail sales．

70．The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to       .

The idea of not having a phone at all could be beneficial sounds crazy to people who are addicted to the global Internet or even just Facebook．

Indeed，it sounds like a pain．But some advantages of a phone-free lifestyle make us realize that freedom has long been absent from our lives with a phone．

According to The Wall Street Journal's Anton Troianovski，people expect less of you when you don't have a cell phone．

Melissa Hildebrand，for example，doesn't own a cell phone．She just leaves if her friends don't show up on time for an event or meeting．“She gives them 15 to 30 minutes to show up．”writes Troianovski．

With a phone in hand，one receives apology calls，which only lengthen the waiting．Without a phone，that responsibility seems to reduce．

Dean Obeidallah of CNN believes that not having a cell phone gives him the ability to see things：A beautiful woman hurrying past while fixing her makeup；Asian tourists busy taking photos；a businessman talking on his phone and looking important．“Instead of texting or checking my e-mail．I began to actually look at the people I was sharing the streets with．It truly resembles a movie set filled with extras(临时演员)from all walks of life，”Obeidallah said．

Along with these small benefits of not having a phone，however，come all its inconveniences．

Nancy Kadlick told The Wall Street Journal that she once missed an airport pick-up due to not having a phone．

For Rebecca Greenfield，an editor for The Atlantic Wire，the inconveniences of not having a phone ontweigh these small advantages．But she also said：“Not having one every once in a while sounds like a nice practice．”

61．Melissa Hildebrand is mentioned as an example to show that without a phone     .

A．people expect less of you    B．people needn't bear responsibility

C．you have to wait long            D．you will miss something important

62．According to Dean Obeidallah，not having a phone can help him          .

A．watch more movie sets       B．communicate with people on the street

C．enjoy the surroundings          D．know more extras from all walks of life

63．The last three paragraphs mainly focus on       of not having a phone．

A．the benefits                        B．the disadvantages

C．different opinions                  D．a good practice

64．        thinks not having a phone has both good and bad effects．

A．Anton Troianovski              B．Melissa Hildebrand

C．Nancy Kadlick                      D．Rebecca Greenfield

65．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Having a phone is of great benefit．

B．Not having a phone brings inconveniences．

C．Mobile phones are robbing us of freedom in some way．

D．The phone-free lifestyle is popular with young people．

Why does everything else seem so interesting when you have to study? Let's find out how to stay focused．Follow each piece of advice that is given below．

Switch Off Your Cell phone

Nothing's worse for a teenager to stay without their cell phone even for a minute．However，if you can't find yourself focused for a long time，you know that it's the continual sound in your cell phone that isn't letting you learn．Stop sending text massages to your friends saying‘I can't study’or‘how much have you finished’．Remember，you don't have enough time to kill，do you?

Soothing Music(舒缓的音乐)Helps

Bizarre (离奇的)as it may sound，while things such as TVs，PCs，or MP3 players are not acceptable while studying，researchers claim(断言)that listening to soothing music actually helps you stay focused．Try it．It might work for you．

A New Timetable Every Day

One of my personal techniques，tried and tested，is creating a new timetable every day. You don't really need to draw one．Instead，just stare at the clock，and divide your hours．Suppose．2 hours of continuous study require a 30-minute break after that．Relax and then go back to study for another two hours．Just be true to yourself, and try not to get distracted(注意力分散的)in those two hours．

Try Different Places to Study

The idea is，looking for a place that doesn't have much to focus upon is the best way of staying organized while studying．A lonely corner in your house is perfect in this case．Hey! Why don't you go to your school library，if things get worse? It has the perfect atmosphere，silence，and a librarian，every time! Now this will work for sure，trust me．

A．Cell phones are not useful to teenagers at present．
