She was encouraging, tough and honest. “She was just what I needed,” Dalkoff said.Later he was _65_ as a co-editor of his high-school newspaper. His _66_ grew; his knowledge broadened; he _67_ on a successful life with great achievement. Dalkoff _68_ that none of this would have happened had that woman not written those four words.For his 30th high-school reunion, Dalkoff went back and visited Mrs.Brauch, who had retired.

Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles. Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.Thatching is a solitary(独自的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, keeping and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often unwilling to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to get the necessary materials. Their temporary (暂时的)mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat.71. Which of the following remains a special feature of the English countryside? A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white roses. B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings. C. Cottages with thatched roofs. D. Churches with cottages around them.72. What do we know about thatching as a craft? A. It is a collective activity. B. It is practiced on farms all over England. C. It is quite different from what it used to be. D. It is in most cases handed down among family members.73. People in developing countries also live under thatch because_. A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction B. thatched roof houses are the cheapest. C. thatch is an effective defence against the heat D. they like thatched houses better than other buildings74. We can learn from the passage that_. A. thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times B. thatching is a building craft first created by the English people C. the English people have a special liking for thatched houses D. most thatched cottages in England are located on hillsides B London Thursday July 26 (Reuters)-Ian Johnstone missed his girlfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose to her. The problem is that she flew in the opposite direction. He and Amy Dolby could even have met each other when they sat in the same airport waiting-room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights. Dolby, heartbroken when she arrived at Johnstines Sydney apartment to find he had flown to London, told the times: “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us. He is the most romantic person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动的)people. We are always trying to surprise each other.” After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Johnstones astonished flat mate asking what she was doing there.“The terrible truth dawned when I found that Ians suitcase and most of his clothing were missing. I sat on the end of his bed and cried my eyes out. And that really made me angry,” she said. Johnstone, a 27-year-old bricklayer, had taken a year off to travel around Australia. But he was missing Dolby, a 26-year-old secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving for surprise.He then flew home to Britain and went to her apartment armed with an engagement ring, champagne and flowers.“I really missed Amy and I had been thinking about her all the time. I thought she was winding me up when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.Johnstone then asked Dolby to marry him on the phone. “I didnt know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,” she said.Dolby was given a short tour of Sydney by Johnstones friends and Johnstone had to stay in Britain for two weeks because he could not change his ticket.75. It can be learned from the text that_. A. Dolby was heartbroken when she heard Johnstone refused to see her. B. Johnstone worked in Sydney and went to Britain on business C. Dolby was greeted by Johnstones flat mate at the airport D. Johnstone failed to see Dolby in her apartment in Britain76. According to the text, it seemed that_. A. Dolby wanted to go sightseeing in Sydney alone B. Johnstone and Dolby could have seen each other in Singapore C. Dolby stayed longer in Sydney than Johnstone stayed in Britain D. the young lovestruck couple had both intended to propose to each other77. When Johnstone asked her to marry him on the phone, Dolby felt_. A. nervous and shy B. cheerful and angry C. excited and shocked D. confused and sad78. Which of the following shows the right order of what happened in the text? a. Johnstone flew back to Britain to propose to his girlfriend, Amy Dolby. b. Johnstone started working at a Sydney building site. c. Johnstone went to Amys apartment in Britain with an engagement ring. d. Johnstone proposed to Dolby over the phone. e. They were waiting for their connecting flight in the airport lounge in Singap
