a. excite.b. cleverc. polited. dissatisfied.64. how was the woman that the reporter interviewed different from others?a. she was enjoying the party.b. she was very cold to others.c. she didnt dance at all.d. she didnt stay with other women.65. what did the woman that the reporter interviewed think of having a good time at the dance party?a. it was hard to achieve.b. it was an easy task.c. it needed others help.d. it was a slow process.c your stay in britain should be a memorable and happy time. to achieve this, you need to prepare yourself well for the trip. not only will you use english, but you will also need to get used to customs, attitudes and food that are different from what you know. your stay will be more enjoyable if you join in with your host family, which is the family you will stay with. use every opportunity to talk with your hosts. do not just sit alone in your bedroom. if you plan to go out, you should tell them when and where you are going and when you expect to get back. this is important because your hosts are responsible for you. find out what the “house rules” are. for example, who uses the bathroom first in the morning? when can you do your washing? can you use the iron for your clothes? what about doing the dishes after dinner? most british teenagers are very tidy. they are expected to help in the home and look after their things. do not expect your host mother to do everything for you. the telephone can be a problem. at the start of your stay, ask your hosts if you may use their phone and of course, tell them you will pay for the calls to china. make sure that you do not spend too long on their phone in the evenings. the food in britain will be a new experience for you. everyday food in britain is not the same as the western-style food you can find in china. even so, you should try to eat whatever you are given. however, if it is something you really do not like, just say so politely. do not bring your own food into the house. whether you are at home or in a restaurant, do not spit out bones onto the table. put them on the side of your plate. and rememberin europe, people eat the main dish with a knife and fork. the spoon is used only for soup or dessert.66. in which magazine will you read this text?

a. eat your own food. b. spit out bones onto the table. c. eat the main course with a spoon. d. eat the food your host family gives you.70. the best title of the text could be _. a. enjoying british food. b. how to learn english better. c. adapting to english family life d. how to communicate with english people.d drawing is a universal language. it was probably our first form of self-expression when we were babies: long before we start writing, were painting and scribbling(乱涂), both in order to make sense of the world and because we enjoy it. in the history of human culture, too, painting and image making came before writing or even simple mathematics: 30,000 years ago compared to 5,000. yet after we leave school most of us never pick up a pencil againwillingly. if asked to draw something, most adults and many older children will shake their heads and say, “ not me! i cant draw. im hopeless at it.” when you think about it, this is very strange. drawing involves coordinating(协调) the hand and the eye with the pencil. its a basic skill, no more difficult to learn than other amazing things that humans do, such as hitting a tennis ball over the net or writing our own name. theres no special talent involved. anybody who can learn to write can learn to draw. so, there you are no excuse not to get out your pencil, pencil sharpener and rubber and take part in the big draw, a nationwide series of free art events taking place all over britain next october. everyones welcome: all you need is a willingness to express yourself through drawing. the big draw, now in its fifth year, has already achieved two world records: one for the longest drawing in the world (1km) and the other for the greatest number of people drawing at the same time (7,000). this year, there will be an attempt to create a new guinness world record for the longest visitorsbook: people will be invited to leave their name and a drawing on a three-kilometer piece of paper. the theme this year is insideoutsidepeople, structure( 结构) and spaces, and other events planned include drawing on a three-kilometer piece of paper. the big draw is not about turning the nation into artists, it is about helping people to acquire this universal language of communication. its greatest achievement next october will be to bring hundreds of thousands of people together to look, imagine, draw and have fun.71. what is the writers main purpose in this text? a. to call on people to join a cultural event. b. to describe the history of drawing. c. to advise us to take drawing lessons. d.
