Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. Its a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .56.

You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does slow you down. Even electric or CD ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the “map” each time you take a step, youll get nowhere fast. On your English learning “journey”, a dictionary can be a helpful “travel companion ”-if it is not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you will always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head. A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentence and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources (资源) . Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols (符号). Understand what the abbreviations (缩写字) mean. Try to master the important grammar rules. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You will discover how helpful it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”64. Why do we need a good English-to-English dictionary?A. Because it is a good friend.B. Because it can help us to find the right direction if we get lost.C. Without it well always depend on our native language and end up translating in our head.D. Because it can help us to start thinking in English and in Chinese.65. The underlined word “that ” in the last paragraph refers to _.A. pronunciation symbols and grammar rulesB. abbreviations and usage for grammar rulesC. the meaning of a word, spelling and grammar usageD. charts, diagrams and lists66. According to the passage , which statement can lead you to believe?A. The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article.B. The more you use a dictionary, the faster you may read.C. The more you use the resources in a dictionary, the more you can benefit (受益) from it.D. The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is.DEver since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communicationGenerally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speechWhen there is a language barrier(障碍), communication is completed through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideasTourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to turn to this form of expressionMany of these symbols of whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or notA wink(眨眼) can be a way of showing that the party is only jokingA nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement Other forms of nonlinguistic(非语言的) language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signalsRoad maps and picture signs also guide and warn peopleWhile language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings67Which of the following statements is NOT true?AThere are many forms of communication in use todayBLanguage is the most common form of communicationCTourists are unable to use an oral form of communicationDIdeas and thoughts can be expressed by body language68Which form other than oral speech could be most commonly used among deaf people?
