have we moved to some other country? maybe weve died and gone to heaven!” i thought.unloading actually became fun as we connected with so many wonderful new friends as we worked. the more people that helped, the easier the work became. a job we were afraid might take days for the two of us alone was done in just a few hours. many total strangers would either walk by or drive by to ask us if we were moving in. many were delighted that this fine old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again. we were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.all the while, my brain was on this new sense of hope that people could be outgoing and kind to strangers. among all the conversations were lots of offers to be of help to one another in a variety of ways. its wonderful to live in such a kind little town. i feel so grateful to be here, and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire society can be a model for what its like to look out for one another. i used to stay away from friendships with strangers, but now i live in defiance! 61. the author and his wife moved to defiance because _. a. they thought moving often brought out the bestb. a couple of students had promised to help themc. they liked this little townd. his wife had found a job62. when offered help, the author at first felt_. a. grateful b. surprised c. embarrassed d. excited63. the neighbors did all of the following except_. a. help them unload b. invite them to a dinnerc. offer to drive them around d. welcome their coming64. what can we know about the authors past life?a. he hated to live in a little town. b. he liked to make friends with strangers.c. he usually offered some help to others. d. he refused to make friends with strangers. 65. the author mainly wants to tell us _. a. we dont know what is good until we have lost it b. kindness is the sunshine of social life c. where there is a will, there is a wayd. there is no place like homebjiang nan, a full-time mother in beijing, keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home, carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries. most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns, but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations, she explained.since june 2008 china has forbidden the production, sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter (毫米), and retailers (零售商) are not allowed to provide free plastic bags to their customers, no matter how thick they are.many chinese consumers like jiang have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping. a plastic bag may only cost a few jiao, but its more about how bad they are for the environment, jiang said.the plastic ban is for the most part well carried out in big cities, and has been obviously effective in reducing white waste. on the first anniversary of the plastic ban global village of beijing, an ngo environmental organization, shows that during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone, saving more than 1.2 million tons of petrol. however, enforcement (实施) shows rather less muscle in smaller cities, towns and countryside. in a remote town like lichuan, the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities. street vendors (街头小贩) worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags. seeing no significance in the issue, local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag trade in the market.there are still those who dont have an interest in living green. cui lin, another beijinger, often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping, and has to buy plastic bags. anyway i think plastic bags are neater and cleaner, and i dont mind paying a couple more jiao, he shrugged. mrs yu, a vegetable vendor in lichuan county, jiangxi province, recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s, chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market. plastic bags are more convenient, she comments, and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags, paid or free. this is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day.66. in paragraph 1, the writer uses jiang nans case to _. a. introduce a topic b. tell a story c. describe a person d. offer an argument 67. how did jiang nan get her cloth bags? a. she bought them at a low price.b. she borrowed them from her relatives. c. she got them for free.d. she made them herself. 68. which is not the reason why some people still use plastic bags when shopping? a. cloth bags are difficult to get and heavy to carry. b. peoples awareness of environmental protection is not strong enough. c. people dont mind paying a couple more jiao for plastic bags. d. street vendors worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them. 69. what does the underlined phrase “cling to” in the last paragraph mean? a. stop usingb. continue to usec. stay close tod. hold tightly70. what message does the writer mostly convey in the passage? a. to reduce white waste is urgent. b. the plastic bag ban has achieved great success. c. there is still a long way to go for the plastic bag ban. d. peoples awareness of environmental protection should be stressed.cthe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. but it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels. an important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “we were surprised by just how positive todays young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “theyre expected to be rebellious （叛逆的） and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. theres more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. they dont want to rock the boat.”so it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “my parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old daniel lazall, “i always tell them when im going out clubbing. as long as they know what im doing, theyre fine with it.” susan crome, who is now 21, agrees. “looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. for example, as long as id done all my homework, i could go out on a saturday night. but i think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. it is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. a researcher comments, “our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. but that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. the normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.” 71. what is the popularly- held image of teenagers? a. they worry about their school life.b. they live in harmony with their parents.c. they have to be locked in to avoid making troubles.d. they quarrel a lot with their parents. 72. the study shows that teenagers dont want to _.a. share family responsibility b. cause trouble in their familiesc. go boating with their family d. make family decisions73. compared with parents of 30 years ago, todays parents_a. go to clubs
