BEIJING—Beijing is to spend up to us $ 20 billion to change the Chinese capital into a 21st century one for the 2008 Olympics.
The government manages to host the 2008 games. The general aim is for Beijing to have the same environmental standards as Paris, London or Washington by 2008.
Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent to pipe natural gas to the city’s home, taking away dirty coal burning gradually while 60,000 buses will be changed to liquefied(液化的)gas.
The money also will be used for relocating(重新部署) the polluting factories and building green belts. By 2008 around 90 percent of Beijing’s waste will be treated, compared to only 40 percent at present.
Olympic officials have already announced that around 50 large projects are being dealt with to improve traffic congestion(拥堵) and cut down pollution. They include construction of Beijing’s first light railway, a 40.5-kilometer line which is expected to be completed in 2006.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒) my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. And when we look back it seems too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends--or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the meaning behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “you are a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy (家伙),” or “You’re a lucky gal(姑娘),” that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog” there is a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself .But bringing in the “dog” puts you down a little. What he is saying is that he doesn’t think you are worthy of your luck.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person’s talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says fit in with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
64．In the first paragraph , the writer .
A．feels sorry that his friends do not understand him
B．feels happy thinking of how nice his friends were to him
C．thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his friend Helen
D．feels he may not have “read” his friends’ feelings correctly
65．The writer tries to tell us how we can .
A．make no mistakes about money and friends
B．keep people friendly without trusting them
C．make fewer mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D．keep as many friends as possible through talking with them carefully
66．When listening to a person , it is important to .
A．doubt anything he says
B．listen to how he pronounces his words
C．check whether his words are against his manners
D．notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
67．By asking the underlined questions ( paragraph3 ) the writer means to .
A．give the readers the ways to get the real meaning of a speaker
B．show the readers the questions that the writer cannot answer
C．check whether the reader can understand him completely
D．prepare what the writer is going to say after the text

From: raymondyuen@ canada.net
Subject: Complaint
Dear Mr. Price,
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.
It was my son’s birthday so we booked a non-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.
We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced to pay.
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full repayment for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.
You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours Sincerely,
Raymond Yuen

Having one of those days –or weeks –when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
※Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.
※Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts association with past positive experiences we’ve had.
※Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts . Write them all down on paper , the pessimistic(悲观的) messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have a job.” vs. “I have two interviews next week.”)
※ Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (想象)，all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to-do list .One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options (选择). By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
※Avoid things that won’t improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate (刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
72．We learn from the text that it might help us stop a bad mood to .
A．do nothing about it B．do some exercise with light music
C．take a long walk on the beach D．talk it to neighbors
73．Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach ?
A．It is not complicated to do so. B．It is an area to be easily controlled.
C．It helps beat a bad mood. D．It brings us a new technique.
74．TV may not improve your mood because .
A．it sometimes shows what happens around you
B．it does not energize you
C．it reminds you of eating and drinking
D．it produces a calming effect
75．Which would be the best title of this passage?
A．Bad mood and our life B．How bad mood affects our character?
C．Bad mood and stress D．How to beat a bad mood

Dear Editor,
I’m a senior high student. Now many students use mobile phones .They think it’s a fashion to use mobile phones .Besides ,it’s very convenient to get in touch with their families and friends by using mobile phones. But some students break the rules in class. They bring their mobile phones to the classroom and we often hear the ring of mobile phones in class. Some of them even waste precious time in class typing short messages on the mobile phones .
In my opinion ,the classroom is a place for students to gain knowledge .Therefore quietness is badly needed for us to learn our lessons .Those with mobile phones shouldn’t take mobile phones to the classroom . We are supposed to concentrate on our studies. The school should make a rule to forbid the students to use mobile phones in the classroom.
Yours sincerely
