When tea and coffee was first introduced to Europe in the 18^th century, people

thought they were harm. So the king of Sweden decided to find out that this was true or not. It was happened that there were two brothers were in prison at the time. The king ordered one of them to drink tea every day and other coffee. Both of them have lived many years without any problem. At last the one who had to drink tea died on the age of 83 and the other lived even long. Because of this, Sweden is today one of the country where tea and coffee are drunk.

Rabbits（兔子） are easy to raise（养）. They are clean and quiet. They don’t need a lot of room. And it costs a small amount of money to feed them, but you get a big return.

You don’t have to be a farmer to raise rabbits. You can raise them in the city.

Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire. They don’t have to be very big. But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each room should be about 75 centimeters wide, 60 centimeters high and one meter deep.

Fencing（围墙材料）is used for the sides and the floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing should be about one centimeter square. Waste from the animals will drop through the holes. This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry.

Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to protect it from rain.

Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves. Hang feeding containers on the outside of the house to let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through the holes in the fence.

Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbits cannot turn them over. Or you can tie the containers to the fence.

Rabbits are valuable for their fur. It takes time, skill and money to prepare the fur and skin for use. Skill is also needed to remove the fur from the rabbit.

But rabbits do not have to be dead to be valuable(值钱的). Many people enjoy keeping rabbits as friendly pets. And rabbit waste makes an excellent fertilizer(肥料). It can be mixed directly into the soil to improve the growth of vegetables, trees and flowering plants.

67. What is important if you raise rabbits?

A. Holes are needed for waste to drop through.

B. Each rabbit must be given a separate room.

C. Each room must have clean water every day.

D. Feeding containers are hung on the fence.

68. Why should the holes in the wire fence be about one centimeter square?

  A. Because the holes let in sunlight.

  B. Because rabbits like these holes.

  C. Because rabbits get food from them.        

D. Because waste of rabbits drops through the holes.

69. We learn from the text that rabbits________.

  A. need enough fresh air and sunlight    B. produce a lot of waste every day

  C. feed on only fresh grass and leaves    D. make better pets than dogs and cats

70. What does the underlined sentence（划线的句子） in the last paragraph mean?

  A. You don’t have to kill rabbits to make more money.

  B. Rabbits cannot be sold to make money when they are alive.

Many people often lose their friends and they don’t know how to keep a long friendship. So how can you keep a long friendship? The following passage explains very well about this matter.

The first thing you need to do is to become a good listener. In this way, you show your friends that you are interested in their lives. You want to know more about them and you want to help them solve their problems. They will cherish (珍惜) the friendship more if they know you care about them.

The next thing is that you should respect other people’s privacy. People usually don’t like others to know about their private life, so you should show respect toward their privacy. Sometimes, they need some suggestions from others, but this does not mean that others can know about their entire life. So respect for privacy is a must for keeping a long friendship.

The third important thing is that you need to be able to forgive. You must remember that nobody is perfect in this world. It is important to forgive others and not to blame them for the mistakes they have already made. You are not perfect either. Thus you need to apologize to others for the mistakes you may have made.

Pay attention to the three things above, and you will be able to have long friendship.

Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.

Homeschooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in public or private school. As a matter of fact, most childhood education occurred within the family or community.

Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home. Parents see many reasons for homeschool, including better test results, improved instruction, to help the public system with fewer kids, poor public school environment, religious reasons, improved character development, the expense of private education, and objection to what is taught locally in public school.

Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote (遥远的) locations, living abroad, and to allow for more traveling. Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home, where a coach (教练) or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well.
