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 citys 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 Beijings 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 Beijings first light railway, a 40.5-kilometer line which is expected to be completed in 2006. Beijing, besides, plans to build an 82.25-kilometer-long subway to add to the existing 53 kilometers. Nine major roads will be rebuilt or widened. Beijing also plans to build a 70-meter-wide green belt along the waterways to protect water quality as well as increase the green areas.56The government will pipe natural gas to the citys home in order to_.Asolve the problem of being short of fuelBreduce the pollution of our capitalCbring down the cost of daily life Dkeep up with the development of modern society57From the last three paragraphs we know the fact that _.Alengthening the existing 53-kilometer subway is among the 50 large projectsBa 40.5-kilometre line will be added to Beijings first light railwayCthe length of the subway will be up to 135.25 kilometers in 2006Da 70-meter-wide green belt will supply us with enough water58Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe environment of London is better than Toronto.BIn the first paragraph “a 21st century one” refers to a modern and advanced capital.CBeijing is badly polluted mainly by coal burningDLiquefied gas is more expensive than petrol.59This news report mainly talks about _.Ahow Beijing is becoming a 21st century cityBhow many projects are being dealt with to improve traffic of BeijingChow Beijing is being built into a first class Olympic host cityDthe use of the 20 billion US dollarsBIf you go to Brisbane, Australia, you can easily get a small book called “Discover Brisbane” free. The book tells you almost everything in Brisbane: the restaurants, the shops, the cinemas, the streets, the buses, the trains, the banks, etc. Here is something about banks on page 49:ANZ Banking GroupCnr, Greek & Queen Sts228 3228Bank of New Zealand410 Queen Street221 0411Bank of Queensland229 Elizabeth Street229 3122Commonwealth Banking Group240 Queen Street237 3111National Australia Bank LtdWestpac Banking Corp260 Queen Street227 2666Banking Hours are Mon-Thurs 9:30 am to 4 pm.

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 dont 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, “Youre a lucky guy (家伙),” or “Youre a lucky gal(姑娘),” thats being friendly. But “lucky dog” there is a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself .But bringing in the “dog” puts you down a little. What he is saying is that he doesnt think you are worthy of your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the persons 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.64In the first paragraph , the writer .Afeels sorry that his friends do not understand him Bfeels happy thinking of how nice his friends were to him Cthinks it a mistake to have broken up with his friend Helen Dfeels he may not have “read” his friends feelings correctly 65The writer tries to tell us how we can .Amake no mistakes about money and friends Bkeep people friendly without trusting them Cmake fewer mistakes in understanding what people tell you Dkeep as many friends as possible through talking with them carefully 66When listening to a person , it is important to .Adoubt anything he says Blisten to how he pronounces his words Ccheck whether his words are against his manners Dnotice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes 67By asking the underlined questions ( paragraph3 ) the writer means to . Agive the readers the ways to get the real meaning of a speaker Bshow the readers the questions that the writer cannot answer Ccheck whether the reader can understand him completely Dprepare what the writer is going to say after the text DTo: manger Date: Monday, 7 October, 3:34 p.m.From: raymondyuen 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 sons 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 wifes 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 didnt 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 68We learn from the text that , before Saturday, Mr. Yuen .Awas satisfied with the restaurant Bwas disappointed with the restaurant Chad to wait for his table Drarely ate at the restaurant 69The head waiter didnt believe Mr. Yuen because .Athe waitress stopped working and hadnt told him about it Bhe believed that the cockroach was garlic Che didnt want to pay Mr. Yuen back Dthe manager was on holiday 70Mr. Yuen demanded that Mr Price .Asay sorry to his family Blet the head waiter stop working in the restaurant Cget the head waiter to say sorry Dget the head waiter and Janet to say sorry 71What does Mr. Yuen want to pay for now ?ATwo meals.BTheir meals.CNothing.DOnly the drinks.EHaving 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 fasteroften within a day or two.Walk it off Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person whos 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 weve had.Give yourself a pep talk Stop and listen to whats 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 youve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still dont have a job.” vs. “I have two interviews next week.”) Reduce your stressRelaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (想象)，all of which sound complicated but arent. 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 youre
