About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk(职员) to put a hundred dollar bill in the safe for me.

The next morning, however, the clerk said that he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof(证据) that I had given the man the money. There was clearly nothing left to do but to go to the nearest lawyer.

The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the desk. So we did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.

Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to ask for the hundred-dollar bill once again. And when the clerk insisted that he had given it to me, I said it was not true. The lawyer said to him, “ I saw this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill. If you don’t hand it in immediately, I will be forced to call the policeman.” The clerk realized he had been cheated, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.

“I don’t know how to thank you enough for getting my money back.” I said to the lawyer. And what do you suppose he answered? He said, “oh, don’t thank me. That will be one hundred dollars, please.”

CANBERRA(Reuters)—Australia’s kangaroos are genetically similar to humans and may have first evolved in China, Australian researchers said Tuesday.

Scientists said they had for the first time mapped the genetic code of the Australian marsupials(有袋类)and found much of it was similar to the genome for humans, the government backed Center of Excellence for Kangaroo Genomics said.

 “There are a few differences, we have a few more of this, a few less of that, but they are the same genes and a lot of them are in the same order,”center Director Jenny Graves told reporters in Melbourne.

“We thought they’d be completely scrambled, but they’re not. There is great chunks of the human genome which is sitting right there in the kangaroo genome,” Graves said, according to AAP.

Humans and knagaroos last shared an ancestor at least 150 million years ago, the researchers found, while mice and humans separated and went in different ways from one another only 70 million years ago.

Kangaroos first evolved in China, but migrated across the America to Australia and Antarctica, they said.

“Kangaroos are hugely informative about what we were like 150 million years ago,” Graves said.

68.Where does the kangaroo first develop according the scientists?

         A.In China.       B.In America.  C.In Australia. D.In Antarctica.

69.What does the passage mainly tell us?

         A.How the Kangaroo first evolved. B.Kangaroo’ genetic code have been mapped.

         C.Kangaroos’genes are close to humans’.      D.Scientists did much research into Kangaroos.

70.What does the underlined word “scrambled” probably mean in the fourth paragraph?

         A.Funny.   B.Wrong. C.Curious.        D.Right.

_72_ If we plant a good seed, we get in a good harvest; if our seed is poor and the field is full of weeds,we get in a useless crop; if we plant nothing at all, we get in nothing at all.

_74_ Nothing we can do will change it.

The future is before us and dynamic. _75_ Each day will bring it with new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human effort.

The past is gone forever.

I don’t know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.

We should never forget the rapid change in the past few years.
