My parents and I went to the park on last Sunday．There were lots of visitors stood in front of the ticket window．We waited a long time and buy three tickets．In the Tiger Mountain of the park, I was too eager to see the fierce frightened animals that I quickened my steps through the crowd．Unfortunate, I got separated from my parents．I had hard time looking for him, but I had no luck．Wandering in the park, I felt alone without any companions．Worse still, I had no money, so I had to walk home, covered as much as 5 kilometers．

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

     71      You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you.        72      The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.      

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings.         73        

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious.      74         This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality.    75     　. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.

A. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.

B. You know your strengths and weaknesses.

C. Normally people seldom change their sleeping position.

D. Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that

is secret and real.

E. Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up.

F. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.

G. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position.

Famous centenarians （百岁老人） still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire．"Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases．He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession．Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project．"You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said．When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature．It gave to me what it took from others．"

Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character．Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens．

Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer （103）, Nobel laureate Montalcini （101） and director Kurt Maetzig （100）, Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation．

Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer．The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor．"The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently．He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder （胆囊） operation he composed a samba tune （桑巴舞曲） in the clinic．

Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters．The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works．Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old．" He also plans to keep performing．"Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role"．

Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection．" In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor．She's convinced that humans grow on challenges．

With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers．

67．From the first two paragraphs, we can see ______．

　 A．being active at 102 is achievable for everybody

　 C．is willing to work till he dies　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　 D．prefers to give performance at home

69．In the passage so many examples were given to show ________．

　　　 A．old age is a big problem if you want to succeed

If you feel at present that you don't have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to spare the time for the relationships you already have．Starting and keeping friendships requires effort and commitment．

Our lives let many of us become so busy with work and other things that we don't get around to scheduling time for pleasure and talking with our friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have．

Making an effort to call your friends more regularly and accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life quickly!

Are there any people you could call right now and are assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in the time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?

If you haven't seen most of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you lived apart? Was there an argument?

       If the main reason that you haven't been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time．Compare it with your real values and priorities in life．Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?

       If you have become too busy to have time for friends, why does this happen? Are you seeking material joys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over­committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things by yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?

       Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities．Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you．

       If you really want to keep friends in your life, make space in your schedule and in your heart for them．

64．In this passage the author mainly discusses________．

       A．how to spend our spare time

       B．whether we should keep friendships

       C．how to balance friendships and work

       D．why friendships are the most important in one’s life

       B．You have someone to count on when you are in trouble．

       C．You have someone to have close talks with．

       D．You have fun when you are with someone．

66．What is the most important feature of the writing style of the passage?

       A．Offering arguments．                              B．Raising questions．

       C．Making comparisons．                            D．Giving examples．

Over 70 percent of the "double single-child couples" in China need help from their parents in taking care of their own kids, according to a recent survey．

"Women of China" magazine and a consulting company carried out a survey recently on young couples of the "single-child" generation, the Morning Post reports．The couples surveyed were around 29 and have been married for three years on average, with university education and monthly income of 4．000 yuan （$531）．Among them, 43．5 percent have kids．

Some say everyday miracles（奇迹） are predestined（注定的）----the right time for the appointed meeting．And it can happen anywhere．

I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will．

In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston．My dad and I 36 a room with two double beds and a bathroom was too 37 for a 15-year-old girl and her father．Dad’s second marriage was 　38 and my stepmother had 　39 us both out of the house the previous week．Dad had no　 40_ what to do with me．And that’s when my other family 　41 ．
