Im not a football commentator (评论员), thoughjust an English teacher in Japan.I came to Japan two years ago, and didnt think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think its best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But Id say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.I teach English privately, which means Im my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, its well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule (日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.The schools are reluctant to take time offeven teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.56. From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in _.A. Tokyo B. a small town C. a city of middle size D. a big city57.

The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that _.A. there are many foreigners in JapanB. Japan is good for nightlifeC. they can teach English privately in JapanD. Japan has something more attractive than expected59. The underlined word “reluctant” in the passage may probably mean _.A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. carelessBWhen Nancy Lublin received $5,000 from her grandfather in 1996, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans(贷款). Instead, the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. “If a woman goes for a job interview(面试) poorly dressed, she wont get the job,” Lublin says. “But without a job, she cant afford suitable clothes.”So, with the money Lublin founded “Dress for Success” and began collecting womens clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. “So many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again,” one of Lublins assistants says, “Nancys idea is so simple and yet so important to women.”Many women come to Lublins office before going to a job interview. Here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need. Since it was set up, more than 1,000 women have turned to “Dress for Success” for help. Many of them have won jobs. Some have found jobs after being out of work for many years. Jenny, a 32-year-old woman who was recently hired as a law-firm office manager says, “I made a good impression(印象) because of Dress for Success.”60. What can we learn from the text?A.

From what Jenny says, we know that _.A. she got a lot of good ideas from NancyB. she is working happily at her present jobC. clothes from Nancys office helped to get her a jobD. “Dress for Success” has a good business relation with her firm63. What would be a good title for the text?A. Keep Your Old Clothes B. A Helping Hand for WomenC. Nancy: A Successful Law Student D. A Successful Clothing BusinessCNEWS BRIEFPrime Minister Tony Blair new allegations(指控) on Thursday that he misled Parliament and the public in making the case for the war in Iraq after he disclosed his chief legal advisers written opinion raising questions about the legality(合法) of the war.U.S. Forest Service officials are reminding people to stay off Forest Service roads that are closed. The fine for disobeying the rule of road closures is a maximum of 5,000 fine and/ or six months in prison. Those who enter the area and cause road damage may also be required to pay for repairs.In a second study presented at the meeting, scientists from the UK and Denmark showed that even a few days of high temperatures can severely reduce production of crops such as wheat, soybeans, rice and groundnuts, if it occurs when the plants are flowering.A bomb exploded in Thailands mainly Muslin south on Sunday, killing two policemen and wounding three others, a day after Thailands queen condemned those behind a 15-month wave of violence(暴力).Mechanicsburg 3, West York 1: Ken Stamper and Rusty Bowman had seven kills each, and Ryan Warfield had six to lead the Wildcats past the Bulldogs, 25-11, 25-15, 15-25, 25-23, in a non-league match.64The news brief covers _.Awar, law, violence, culture and agricultureBsports, war, violence, politics and climateCpolitics, culture, violence, climate and sportsDviolence, sports, politics, law and agriculture65From the news brief, we can learn that _.Athe Bulldogs defeated the Wildcats by 3-1 in a non-league matchBForest Service roads are closed for repairs before they are opened againCquite a few violent accidents happened in Tailand before the latest oneDthe British people think the decision made by Blair about the war is of legality66According to the U.S. Forest Service officials, those who enter the area and damage the closed roads _.Ashall have to pay a $ 5,000 fine for the repairs to themBshall be fined or put in prison, and may pay for the repairsCshall be fined $ 5,000 and kept in prison for six monthsDshall pay a fine and repair the roads as a punishment67The study of the scientists from the UK and Denmark is about _.Athe importance of climate and the growth of cropsBthe damage caused by high temperatures to some cropsCthe relationship between crops flowering and high temperaturesDthe effect of high temperatures on the production of some cropsDIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately，such moments are usually not obvious(明显的)to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain place, no one will be wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue if nothing happenedEven if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech“I have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-makingPeople care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication (交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, dont worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.68. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _ A. be smarter than you B. notice your mistakesC. do better than you D. know what you are talking about69. You dont remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _A. your attention is on the contentB. you dont fully understand the speechC. you dont know what the speaker plans to sayD. you find the way of speech-making more important 70. It can be inferred from the passage that_A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be hadC. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be 71. What would be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker B. how to Make a Perfect SpeechC. Dont Expect a Perfect Speech D. Dont Expect Mistakes in a SpeechESmall discoveries in Indonesia are causing a stir in the science world .Researchers have unearthed (挖掘)tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species .If thats true ,it will change how we think about our ancestors .Clues that the l
