As the high school student, I like to talk with foreigners to practise my oral English and learn more about other cultures. There were two foreign teachers in our school in this term. They often go to the English corner so that they can have a chance to practise the language. I seize every chance talk with them. However, I sometime find they are not so interested in which I say, and it’s hard to me to choose a suitable topic. I would like some advices about how to communicate proper with foreigners and what topics to pick.

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which occurred merely two feet away from me.

　　　 Trying to locate my friend among the passengers coming through the jet way, I noticed a man walking toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.

　　　 First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you. I missed you so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. They stared at each other’s eyes, smiling at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇), but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.

　　　 Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” He replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well, then, how long have you been away?” I asked. “Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was astonished. By the intensity (热烈) of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks --- if not months. I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and said quietly, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!”

The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked me straight in the eye. With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person. “Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!”

With that, he and his family turned and walked away together.

I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!”

While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrians(行人).

Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently, and with higher blood alcohol levels, than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10, which by law in most states signifies intoxication(醉酒), compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.

Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.

“We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Bloomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.

Bloomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB) in Washington in January.

Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Culprits, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been confused about how to prevent disasters.

A. Traffic Safety.　　　　　　　　　　 B. Drunken Drivers.

A. make up one seventh of highway accidents

B. are 2,500 a year

C. are at least 7,000 in US traffic accidents

D. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level

76. According to the passage, what is Bloomberg?

A. A researcher.　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. A specialist in traffic safety.

I am wearing a small red ribbon this morning to remind myself and others around me that today is World AIDS Day.

The red ribbon, an international symbol of AIDS awareness, is gaining increasing public recognition as more Chinese, from top leaders to movie stars, wear it today.

Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo(禁忌). Over the past few years, we have watched, read and heard many stories from doctors, volunteers and public health officials at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.

Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.

The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention and treatment programmes, and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million yuan (US$ 121,000) in 1986 to a pledge of 800 million yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.

The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable, especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.

But have we got a full grip on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in China?

The figures, ranging from confirmed cases to estimates, remain debated. After all, no more than a year has passed since the policy of free medical tests was made public. Unknown numbers from the high-risk groups: drug addicts and people working in sex- related places as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be reluctant to come forward.

69. What does the red ribbon stand for?

A. AIDS　　　　　　　　　　　 　　 B. World AIDS Day

C. AIDS awareness　　　　　　　 　　　 D. AIDS prevention and treatment

70. Which of the following is Not true according to the text?

A. The topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo in the past.

B. The topic of HIV/AIDS is now still a public and media taboo.

C. Now a lot of people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV.

D. The writer wears a small red ribbon because today is World AIDS Day.

71. In paragraph 5 “the latter” refers to ____________________.

A. financial input　　　　　　　　　　 B. new prevention programmes

C. new treatment programmes　　 　　　D. the central governments

72. We can learn from the text that high-risk groups of HIV/AIDS in China include the following EXCEPT __________________.

A. drug addicts　　　　　　　　 B. people working in sex-related place

C. farmer who once sold blood　　 D. people getting close to those affected with HIV/AIDS

Have you noticed that the majority of human beings seem to focus on the negative? Bad news is often seen in the newspapers, television shows and magazines, but good news are often overlooked.

I saw a woman I was not very familiar with. She is a beautiful woman; every time I see her, I am struck by the smile on her face that can light up a whole room. So at one time I walked up to her and said, “You know, you are like liquid sunshine! Every time I see you, you give me so much joy.” I was not quite prepared for her reaction. She was blown away. Her eyes seemed about to shed tears, and she said, “That is so sweet! That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!” It was as if nobody had ever told her how beautiful her appearance was. I was extremely moved by the moment I had shared with this woman.

Why not take notice of the positive and spread a little sunshine? When you are looking for beauty, you will begin to see it more and more. When you discover it, don’t be afraid to appreciate it. Not only will it make them feel good, it will make you feel good as well. I truly believe the saying, “What goes around comes around.” When you show kindness and sincerity, you will receive it back. You may even discover - much to your surprise - that you become the friend of someone you would never have expected to get along with.

66. The woman had tears in her eyes because __________.

A. the man’s behavior was so rude

B. she was nervous about the man’s words

C. the man told her the fact she didn’t know

D. Everybody should learn to praise others.
