I looked at the map 45 .It seemed to be 46 with masses of thin blue lines. But Which 47 line was this steam? In despair，we sat down in the cool 48 and I feel 1ike 49 the map into the water.

She turned her head，and our eyes met，a momentary awareness in that noisy fifth grade classroom. I felt as though Id been stuck a blow under the heart. Thus began my first love affair.Her name was Rachel，and I mooned my way through the grade and high school，stricken at the mere sight of her，tongue-tied in her presence. Does anyone, anymore，wander in the shadows of evening, drawn by the pale light of a window-her window-like some unlucky summer insect?Her beauty made me awkward(笨拙的)and my voice crack(沙哑)is like some impossible dream now. I would catch sight of her，walking down an aisle of trees to or from，and Id be-come a fool. She always seemed so charming.At home, Id relive each meeting between us，suffering at the thought of my shortcoming.We eventually got to know as we entered our adolescence, she knew I had a case on her, and I sensed her emotional tolerance for me. “Going steady” implied a maturity we still lackedHer Orthodox Jewish upbringing and my own Catholic belief made even kissing a distant prospect(前景)，however strongly desired.At any rate, my love for Rachel remained without result. We graduated from high school，she went on to college，and I joined the Army. When World War II broke out，l was sent overseas. For a time we wrote，and her letters were the highlight of those terrible endless years.I mentioned the possibility of marriage in my nest letter, and almost immediately her replies became less frequent，less personal. Her Dear John letter finally caught up with me while I was awaiting discharge. She gently explained the impossibility of a marriage between us.Looking back on it, I must have recovered rather quickly，although for the first few months I believed I didnt want to live. Like Rachel，I found someone else，whom I learned to love with a deep and permanent commitment that has lasted to this day.60According to the passage，how old was the author when his first love affair began?ABefore he turned his teens.BIn his early twenties.CIn his middle twenties.DWhen he was just out of his teens.61How did the author behave as a boy in love?AHis first love motivated him toward hard study.BHis first love set off sentimental memories.CHe was overpowered by wild excitement and passion.DHe fulfilled his expectations and desires.62According to the passage，what held them back from a loving kiss?AHer Orthodox Jewish upbringing did not allow it.BHis Catholic belief forbade it.CThey were not sure whether it was proper to kiss in line with their religious decorum (礼节).DKissing was found to be inelegant or even distasteful.63According to the passage，what was Rachels response to the authors tender affection before the war?AShe recognized and accepted his love affectionately.BShe controlled his affection by flatly turning him down.CShe fondly permitted him to adore her without losing her own heart to him.DShe care for him and wrote to him frequently.CToday, there are many avenues open to those who wish to continue their education. However,nearly all require some break ones career order to attend school full time. Part-time education ,that is，attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people.Besides，such programs require a fixed time commitment，which can also negatively affect ones career and family time. Of the many approaches to teaching and learning，however，per-haps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning.Distance learning is an educational method，which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals, which are so necessary in todays world.

Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail，telephone，facsimile machine，teleconferencing and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool. with every subject. This precludes the requirement for a student to travel away from hometo take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the same as of thedistance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course onthe home campus.The degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is em- ployed. The individuality of the professorstudent relationship is another characteristic of a good distance-learning program.In the final analysis，a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individualstudents but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership. With their employees for the educational benefit，professional development，and business growth of the organization.Sponsoring(赞助的)distance-learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of keeping career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professionalgrowth through education.64According to the passage，which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part-time education?AIt requires some break in ones career.BIt tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program.CIt affects ones careerDIt gives the student less time to share with the family.65What benefit will distancelearning program bring to a business ?AEmployment of more talented people.BGood image of the business.CBetter cooperation with universities.DFurther training of employees and business growth.66What benefit will distance learning bring to an employee of a business?AProfessional growthBGood relationship with the employer.CGood impression on the employer.DHigher salary.67Which is not the characteristic of distance learning?AIt includes a subject evaluation tool with every subject.BIts course uses the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus.CA distancelearning program has a place only for students.DThe relationship of the professorstudent is characterized by individuality.DTHE BEST SHOPPING IN SYDNEYSydney is one of the words biggest cities and has something for everyone when it comes to shopping.

Wherever in the world the clock strikes midnight on June 20th，his followers will rush to get their paws on one of more than 10million copies of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Bookshops will open in the middle of the night and delivery firms are drafting in extra staff and bigger trucks. Related toys，games，DVDs and other merchandise will be everywhere. There will be no escaping Potter mania.Yet Mr Potters world is a curious one，in which things are often not what they appear. While an excitable media is helping to promote the launch of J.K. Rowlings fifth novel, about the most adventurous thing that the publishers have organised is a reading by Ms Rowling in Londons Royal Albert Hall，to be broadcast as a live webcast. Hollywood，which owns everything else to do with Harry Potter，says it is doing even less. Incredible as it may seem，the guardians of the brand say that，to protect the Potter franchise(特许权)，they are trying to maintain a low profile. Well，relatively low.This is a shocking success by any measure，especially as Ms Rowling has long demanded that Harry Potter should not be over-commercializedIn line with her wishes，Warner says it is being extraordinarily careful，at least by Hollywood standards，about what it licenses and to whom. It is now in the process of making its licensing programme even more restrictive(严格化).The deal with Warner ties much of the merchandising(相关商品)to the films alon
