Zhou Yongjie, a quiet and shy boy from Kongjiang High School, Shanghai, took part in a recent International Computer Programming Contest for University Students in April, 2001. Zhou, with his two partners, came out as third winners, next to the teams from Qinghua University in Beijing and Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Zhou took up computer six years ago. He took his parents’ advice and entered his name for a computer class. When asked how to balance his school work and his after-school computer class. Zhou said that it was difficult to keep balanced between the two. Thanks to his hard work, he is always listed as one of the five best students in his class after exams. Zhou gets no introduction from his parents. Whenever he has problems he discusses with his classmates. Self-teaching is not an easy thing and many students have given up. But Zhou Yongjie is not discouraged. He also regards the computer as a tool for studying maths and other subjects. He also does some programming for running in his spare time.
Talking about the international contest, Zhou seemed to be a little excited. He said he and his two partners were supposed to solve eight problems within five hours, including the meal time. They divided the work among themselves and finally solved six problems with joint efforts. What impressed him most was that when a problem was solved, the team would be given a balloon as an encouragement. So once in a while, they would look around and wonder how other teams were going. Surprisingly, Zhou Yongjie hasn’t decided whether to work as a full-time computer programmer in the future. He prefers to do what he likes most and will regard computer as an instrument.

60. Which of the following is the best title?
B The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over A. Self-teaching Is Not Easy C. A Young Student’s Success B. A Young Computer Expert D. The Secret of Success the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent camera team out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?” “No, Sir,” the men answered. The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked. “Well,” one of the men answered, “we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards, Then it’ll look like a sunset.” “That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera team and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
The camera team went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, Sir,” they said, and give it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.” The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera team to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards away from the beach.
61. One evening, the director sent his camera team out ______.

C Mr. Andrews was waiting for a subway train in the city. The train pulled into the station and B. as he saw everything in the film moving backwards C. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined D. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and the heroine stopped. As Andrews was getting ready to board the train, he saw an elderly blind man fall to the tracks (站台). David Schnair, aged 75, had mistaken the space between two subway cars for a door, while feeling his way with a cane. Instead of ending up inside the train, Schnair fell off the platform and landed under the train.
Andrews jumped down to the tracks to save Schnair. He pulled the man to safety. Onlookers immediately declared Andrews a hero. Messages began to pour in from all over the country. Some people sent checks. The largest was for $3,000. President called Andrews and wished him a Merry Christmas and a good new year.
Andrews had been on the subway because he was returning from a job interview. He probably would have been hired anyway, but all the good publicity (宣传) made it a sure thing. After about a week of newspaper stories and donations of food, money and gifts for his children, Andrews faded from limelight. Most people assumed that the story had come to a happy ending, but it didn’t quite happen that way. Andrews did start his new job, but the company moved to New Jersey. Andrews didn’t have any way to get to work, so he had to give up. It wasn’t long before he was back to job hunting and being discouraged again. Few newspapers, however, bothered to tell their readers what happened to Mr. Andrews after he became a hero.
66. Schnair fell off the platform because __________.
A. he was walking carelessly
B. onlookers pushed him down
C. he thought he was at a door

mean?
A. Andrews disappeared from the public attention. B. Andrews lost his job for his fame. C. Andrews gained his popularity with the public. D. Andrews lost his interest in newspaper. A. never work again B. save another blind man 69. According to the writer, Andrews will probably ________.
C. hunt a job as long as possible
D. turn to President for help
70. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the newspapers paid little attention to Andrews’ life B. the public didn’t show enough kindness to Andrews C. it was not wise for Andrews to give up his job D. life is difficult for the unemployed
D
As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.
One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny.
Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.
Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”
71．The passage tells us that A．people seldom work long hours to make money
B．people hardly buy more things than necessary
C．people are sure everything they own is in the right place
D．people realize there is more to life than just making money
72．When Daniel was a reporter he ___.
A．lived in central London B．disliked his job
C．missed his children D．was well paid
73．Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.
A．was easy to organize B．has improved family life
C．was extremely expensive D．has been a total success
74．What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more
money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?
A．People work long hours to earn their living.
B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.
C．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.
D．People spent too much time and money eating meals.
75．The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _________.
A．repairing your car by yourself
B．spending money carefully
C．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life
D．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week

The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (每日新闻). It came out in March 1702.
In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波士顿新闻通讯), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.

C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.

Zhou Yongjie, a quiet and shy boy from Kongjiang High School, Shanghai, took part in a recent International Computer Programming Contest for University Students in April, 2001. Zhou, with his two

Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.

校 学 Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre. To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your
experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information
that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the
brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”. 57 According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams 58. The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break C. where to put the needle

B. images which have no meaning are used C. we can never understand the real meaning

As awareness of the cenefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the langhs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, cmotionally, and sp[iritually.

Many pcople mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you don't .” This is
false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.
