     Two weeks before Christmas, Mother told me we were going to my grandmother's house for the holiday. Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town They had no electricity or running water and _ 36  what I considered the "good things" in life. They  37 made no plans for Christmas When Christmas Eve arrived, Mom told me in her best "I-mean-it" voice to _ 38    all the decorations from our tree. She packed those up 39  all the materials for a _40  turkey dinner.

     Christmas morning   41  perfectly with the sun shining brightly across a fresh blanket of snow. _42 I was angry silently in the backseat of the car as we made our _43 to grandma's. This was going to be the _44  Christmas ever! Grandma was _45  to see us as we walked up to her door. "What on earth are you doing here?" she said." We weren't expecting 46 . It's Christmas, and I don't even have a turkey to cook for you." "I knew 47 ." Mom said as we set boxes of goodies(好吃的) on the kitchen table. "That's _48   we brought all with us." "We _49   have a tree" Mom insisted. " 50  what will we do with all these decorations?" Uncle Henry quickly caught Mom's spirit. He called me to join him, and we found a perfect Christmas tree in the woods. Soon the house _51 fresh and piney as we decorated the pine tree, and the day    52    a festive air . The turkey dinner was very good, too. I was actually beginning to enjoy this unusual Christmas day!

Dessert was almost forgotten _53   Mom came out with the final surprise-a flaming (色彩鲜明的)pudding! "Merry Christmas, mother," Mom said. "Dear me!" Grandma said with her mouth wide open. "I haven't seen a flaming pudding since I left England before I was married." Tears of 54 filled her eyes. I could not keep the tears . 55  my eyes, either. I knew then that Mom had also given me the best Christmas present ever.

She had taught me what a beautiful thing it is to give.

    Being in an unfamiliar school can be frightening. If you start a new school, you'll have to worry about making friends. Here are some simple tips which help you make new friends more easily.

   ·Try speaking to the students you're sitting next to in class. As they're close by, it is easy to chat to them first.

    ·Try to speak to everyone in your class. You will study here for three years, so it helps if you get along well with them.

    ·If you don't have many friends in your class, try and make new friends in your neighbor classes. You can also chat to them at lunchtimes and after school.

·Join a lunchtime or afterschool club. You'll get to meet kids of all years that way.

    ·Ask your teacher to pair you With another student.

    ·Use your "celebrity status"(名人身份）! Since you're the new person, you'll have got celebrity status, which you can use for a couple of weeks.

    ·Talk to classmates, remember to smile, and be open and friendly. Don't break in while your classmates are speaking. When your classmates talk to you, you should listen carefully and look at them in the eye to make them feel important.

    ·As you grow older, it's natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you begin to grow apart from your old friends. So try and make time for all your friends. But what if a friendship group is pushing you out? If this is happening to you, ask someone you're friendly with what has happened .If the friendship is hopeless, try to find new friends.

    "If there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that m a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

    The nature of what is news may change .What basically makes news is what affects our lives - the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though .It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic（基因的） engineering. In the future, I think  there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do - as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

     It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted（传送）electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact ,I'm pretty sure  how it will happen m the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read - sports and international news, etc.

      I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media（媒体）．They actually feed off each  other.  Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet. it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

61. What is the best title for the passage?

  A. The Best Way to Get News                      B. The Changes of Media

  C. Make Your Own Newspaper                     D. The Future of Newspaper

62. In the writer's opinion, in the future, _______.

   A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news

   B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer

   C. newspapers will cover more scientific research

  D. more and more people will watch TV

63. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?

   A. Sports and international news.              B. A menu of important news.

   C. The most Important news.                 D. what you are interested in.

64. From the passage, we can infer ________.

   A. newspapers will win the competition among the different meclia

   B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media

   C. television will take the place of newspaper

   D. the writer believe some media will die out

65. The phrase "feed off" in the last paragraph means ________ .

   A. depend on      B. compete with          C. fight with    D .kill off

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:

     "I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio .They cannot every understand rhythm（韵律)"

    "Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I'm sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you."

    One younger musician said, "There are several clubs who want me to play for a few nights a  month and I'm trying to find other places to play .I'm also planning to join in several summer festivals this year."

     I  really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.

     Attitudes are important. Whether they're positive or negative(消极) they're all rubbing      off on you,If you're around people who are always complaining or blaming others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don't support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call " friends".

    There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop , spending time with the negative ones on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.

     Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.

66. The musicians' conversation at the beginning is there to show that

  A. musicians' living conditions are not good

  B. people in that town have poor taste in music

  C. young people are more likely to succeed

D. different musicians have different attitudes

A. they'll have an influence on you              B. they'll help you realize your dreams

  C. they'll keep you from moving on            D. they'll push you ahead very hard

68. Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?

  A. He is more active than the others.

B. He can earn more than the others.

C. His attitude is more positive than the others.

  D. He has more things to do than the others.

69. By doing the exercise mentioned in Para. 7, you can________.

   A. improve your ability to make friends

   B. make the right kind of friends for sure

   C. develop a better relationship with your friends

   D. make some new friends with similar interests

70. We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT________.
