In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
   Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
    After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

              China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different color1s---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

              It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.

              Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

              My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.

              Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.

              I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

64. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?

              A. Because they are traditional and safe.                            B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.

              C. Because they are color1ful and available.                            D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.

65. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______________.

              A. to ride it for fun                                                                                                  B. to use it for transport

              C. to experience local skills                                                                      D. to improve his riding skills

66. How did the author feel about his street crossing?

              A. It was boring.                                          B. It was difficult.              C. It was lively.                                          D. It was wonderful.

67. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?

              A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.             

              B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

              C. The author was praised by the other bikers.

              D. The author took great pleasure in biking.

              Going green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the tow of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

              On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

              With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My life and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

              Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

68. What might be the best title for the passage?

              A. Going Green.                                                                                    B. Protecting the Planet.                                         

C. Keeping Open-Minded                                                        D. Celebrating Our Green Year.

              C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy

              D. they needed to perform unusual green tasks

              C. They chose better chemical cleaners.

              D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.

              Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.

              So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?

              Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”

              What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

72. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

              A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.

              B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work.

              C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

              D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

73. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?

              A. Challenging mental work.                            B. Unpleasant emotions.

              C. Endless tasks.                                                        D. Physical labor.

74. What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?

              A. He agrees with them.                                          B. He doubts them.

              C. He argues against them.                            D. He hesitates to accept them.

75. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___________.

              A. have some good food.                            B. enjoy their work

              C. exercise regularly                                          D. discover fatigue toxins
