some students at winter park high school just roll out of bed in their pajamas (睡衣) and go to class in their own bedrooms, of course, their teachers and classmates do not see them because all their class work is on the computer. the florida high school, the states only online school, has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer. students in this first online program take classes in algebra (代数), american government, chemistry, computer, economics, and web-page design. they also have to go to regular school to attend other classes.60. in the first news item, which country is not covered in the research?a. britain.b. france.c. sweden.d. spain.61. what is the second news item mainly about?a. j. k. rowling will have an internet interview.b. children will meet harry potters mother.c. the harry potter book will be available on the internet.d. the harry potter book will arrive in china in early june.62. why will russian school students have basic military training?a. to get ready for a military parade. b. to learn to protect themselves.c. to gain some military knowledge. d. to develop their love for the country.63. the news from florida can be given a title “_”.a. get up lateb. online school c. magical computersd. no teacherscwhen asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer to keep warm and to cover my body. these are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.if people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. in most western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. the main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. the clothes are expensive because of fashion.successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. its just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. a suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearers body just as well.fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last months clothes have only been worn once or twice. some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!64. what do people basically wear clothes for?

a. suits and ties. b. clothes and fashion. c. beauty and success. d. cost and pastime.dthe sun is the worlds most powerful energy source. the huge ball gives off more power than people could use. solar power is electricity made from sunlight.solar cells(太阳能电池) are used to collect the suns energy. each solar cell then changes the sunlight into electricity. there are thousands of solar cells on a solar panel (太阳能电池板).a few of these solar panels can make enough electricity for a house.solar power has many advantages. for one thing，it is clean. it doesnt make any air pollution. fossil fuels（石油），by contrast，are dirty to burn. they give off gases that are harmful to breathe. air pollution from fossil fuels may even make our climate too warm.solar power is also sustainable（可持续的）. the supply of fossil fuels is limited. however，there is an unlimited supply of sunlight. it can be used forever.there are still some problems with solar power，though. solar cells work only on sunny days. at night or in cloudy weather，people need another power source. solar panels also cause space problems. they are very large. many large solar panels are needed to make lots of electricity. it would be hard to find space for them all.solar energy is expensive. solar panels cost a lot to build. so solar energy costs twice as much as power from fossil fuels.solar cells are not that efficient yet either. they do not use all the sunlight that hits them. only 20 percent of the light can be turned into power. the rest of the energy is wasted. people need to invent more efficient cells that do not waste so much sunlight. then the cost of solar energy will fall.solar power is cheaper than fossil fuels in some ways，though. air pollution from fossil fuels causes expensive damage. people get sick from breathing dirty air. gases from burning oil also hurt plants，animals，and buildings. solar power would save us billions of dollars in these “hidden” costs.68. people make electricity from solar energy because_.a. the sun is hot enough b. the sunshine changes into energy itselfc. solar panels make it d. special houses are built for electricity69. the advantages of solar energy
