very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. frank decided he did not want to be farmer. he took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. one day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. people fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.soon afterwards, woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. but he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. that is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. once, for example, woolworth went to germany and placed an order for knives. the order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. in this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.by 1919, woolworth had over 1000 stores in the us and canada, and opened his first store in london. he made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. he always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ the customer is always right.”61. frank took a short business

labour (劳动力) was cheap. d. the knives were produced in one factory.64. _ make woolworth a world-famous man. a. his business skills and his wealth. b. the low price of the goods he sold. c. his trip to

hundred is affected in this matter. perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! there are different forms of color blindness. in some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. he may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. in rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. in a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. these help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. there are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. they show us shape but no color.some insects have favorite colors. mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. a red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. in a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. yet we are lucky. with the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. one day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.66. the passage is mainly about _. a. color and its surprising effects. b. women being luckier than men c. danger caused by color blindness d. color blindness67. according to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. a. tell different shapes b. see in a weak light c. kill mosquitoes d. tell orange from yellow68. why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? a. women are more careful. b. there are fewer color-blind women c. women are fonder of driving than men. d. women are weaker but quicker in thinking.69. which of the statements about the color- blind is true? a. not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. b. none of them can see deep red. c. none of them can tell the difference between blue and green. d. all of them see everything in shades of green.70. we can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _. a. red light b. yellow light c. blue light d. green light d rome had the forum (论坛). london has speakers corner. now always-on-the-go new yorkers have liz and bill. liz and bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. and just talk. using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “ talk to me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits. they dont collect money. they dont push religion (宗教). so whats the point? “ to see what happens,” said liz. “ we simply enjoy life with open talk.” shortly after the september 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from new york city to washington, a 270-mile trip. they found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. “ it started as a crazy idea.” liz said. “ we were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. people will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.” denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. she had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went. marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “that was very heavy on my mind.” marcia said. “ to be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained. to celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. a few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters. they may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say theyll consider before making a decision.71. what did liz and bill determined to do after the attack on september 11, 2001? a. telling stories to strangers. b. setting up street signs. c. talking with people d. organizing a speakers party.72. what they have been doing can b
