Dear Mr. Li,

I’m very sorry to have missed the first two lesson this morning. I got up early as usually in the morning, but when I was ready to leave I find my bicycle’s front tyre（轮胎）flat. I wanted to take bus or taxi to school, and I didn’t have any money with me. I had to look for a place along the street to get my bicycle repairing. Unluckily, there were not any bicycle repair shops were open in the early morning. So I had to walk to school, carrying my bicycle all the way. That’s how I was late for school.

Please don’t worry with my lessons, Mr. Li. I will make up for it and turn to teachers for help if necessary.

Yours,

Wang Hui

       What do you, the trees, and a bird have in common?     71     All living things must have water to survive, whether they get it from a water fountain, a rain cloud, or a little bottle attached to the side of a bird cage．

      72     Water makes up more than half of your body weight and a person can’t survive for more than a few days without it．Why? Your body has lots of important jobs and it needs water to do many of them．For instance, your blood, which contains a lot of water, carries oxygen to all the cells of your body．Without oxygen, those tiny cells would die and your body would stop working．

       Water is also in lymph, a fluid（流体） that is part of your immune system（免疫系统）, which helps you fight off illness．    73     Water is needed for digestive juices, urine, and poop．And you can bet that water makes up most of sweat．

       In addition to being an important part of the fluids in your body, each cell depends on water to function normally．

       74     Any fluid you drink will contain water, but water and milk are the best choices．Lots of foods contain water, too．    75     You could probably tell that if you’ve ever bitten into a peach or pear and felt the juices dripping down your chin! Vegetables, too, contain a lot of water — think of biting into a fat tomato from the garden．

       A．You need water to digest your food and get rid of waste, too．

       B．You all need water．

       C．Without water, your body would stop working properly．

       D．How much is enough?

       E．Your body doesn’t get water only from drinking water．

       F．When you drink is also important．

       G．Fruit contains quite a bit of water．

Most people have heard the sound of bees among flowers. Bees live almost everywhere in the world except in the Arctic areas.

Many kinds of agriculture depend on these small, social insects. Without bees, fruit and nut growers as well as many other farmers would not have a crop.

There are more than 20,000 kinds of bees. But only honey bees make enough honey for people to use. Honeybees are highly-organized social insects. They work together in a group, called a colony（群体）. Each colony lives in a hive（蜂房）. It contains one queen bee -- she lays all the eggs from which the members of the colony come. Each colony has only a few hundred males, called drones. The majority of all bees in a colony are workers, which are all females.

Bees even have a special stomach, called a honey stomach,  which is used to store sweet fluid that the bees gather from flowers. Bees also have long hairs on their body and legs. These hairs capture pollen（花粉） as bees go from flower to flower. Some of the pollen is taken back to the hive. Some, however, is passed to the next flower. This is how many plants are fertilized. Pollen is the reproductive material of plants. Many important agricultural crops depend on bees for fertilization.

Inside their hives, bees store sweet liquid from flowers and pollen as well. They may even gather sweet liquid from some other kinds of insects. These kinds of sweet liquid are also stored in the hive.

Bees make honey through a process. They add liquid from their own mouths to sweet liquid into simple sugar. As the honey is stored, it dries. It becomes thicker and darker.

Although bees are often thought of as honey makers, they provide a surprising number of products. Also, their greatest economic value is in fertilizing crops-not in making honey.

67．The passage is mainly about              .

       A．bees and their colony                                  B．the way for bees to pass pollen

       C．bees and agriculture                                    D．the process for bees to make honey

68．Honeybees are social insects because          .

       A．they work in groups                                    B．there is queen bee in every colony

       C．they live in a hive                                        D．each of them does the same job

69．The most valuable thing honeybees do for people is in             .

       A．making honey                                             B．fertilizing crops

       C．making flowers grow better                         D．producing pollen

70．The word “fertilize” in the sentence “This is how many plants are fertilized.” probably means “     ”.

       A．to make plants strong and productive            B．to make soil rich for plants

       C．to start the development of young flowers     D．to introduce pollen into plants

On Jan. 3, a netizen（网民）nicknamed “Programmer Humor”

published a short story on his micro-blog. It said that there was an

old lady who swept nearly every inch of his Internet company. When

 she passed by a programmer, she took a look at the codes on the

programmer’s computer and kindly reminded him, “Be careful,

the stack is overfilled!”

Although there may be 1,000 “Sweeping Old Ladies” in 1,000 people’s minds, it cannot prevent the “Sweeping Old Lady” from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet.

“Programmer Humor” said he is just a programmer in the real world and once he saw the story about the “Sweeping Old Lady,” he wrote it down in his miero-blog because it was funny. He never knew who the original writer of the story was and never thought the story could be so popular.

For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑的人). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”

Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.

First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（沉重的脚步） ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.

Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.

And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week—it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?

I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

56． From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______．

       A． jogging became very popular              B． people jogged only during the daytime

       C． Alex organized an army of joggers      D． jogging provided a chance to get together

57． The underlined word “them”（Paragraph 3） most probably refers to _____．

       A． heart attacks     B． back problems   C． hundreds of peopleD． physical weaknesses

58． From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______．

       A．jogging can help people keep fit

       B． many physical problems result from jogging

       C． not everyone enjoys jogging

       D． jogging makes people feel greater
