met phyllis clayson at a wartime dance in 1941, he had even more to write about. they fell in love with each other at first sight, and they have been together ever since. jack potter was in the royal engineers at the time. when the dance ended, he couldnt wait to get back home and write, “it was a very nice evening. i danced with a very nice girl. i hope to meet her again.” from that day on, he kept brief notes of everyday events that happened in their life. they got married 16 months later. then he worked in construction and she worked as a typist. they had no children, but they had each other, and jack potter had his diaries. after 50 years of marriage, phyllis moved into a care home because of dementia （痴呆）. and that is where jack potter visits her every day. dementia may have robbed (使丧失) her of memories, but jack potter keeps them for her in his diaries. he reads them to her, shows her their photographs, and helps her remember the things they have done. they have always been devoted to each other through these years of marriage, accepting whatever comes their way. she still meets him with open arms when he visits. he still reads her the memories her mind can no longer hold on its own. 64. in 1941, jack potter _. a. got married to a typist b. was too shy to talk to girls c. got to know phyllis clayson d. had nothing to do but dance 65. after getting married,

diaries he has kept b. asking her to read his diaries c. dancing with her every day d. teaching her to take photos 67. the author wrote the text mainly to_. a. show us what true love is b. talk about how to live a long life c. discuss how to prevent dementia d. suggest that everyone keep a diary d most people will praise many technological gadgets（小装置） that they use in their everyday lives. technology is developing at a very fast rate, and what most people did not even think could be real a few years ago is now becoming a reality. although many will use and advertise modern technology for many of its achievements and advancements, what many dont realize is that it has affected and continues to affect society and people in general in a negative way.newspaper companies, as we all know, have been hit very hard by the advancements in technology. big newspapers have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or shut down altogether because news is readily available for free on the internet. music does not have to be purchased at a music store any more because mp3 files are readily available on the internet as well, thus causing big music store chains to shut their doors for good. the movie industry has also been hit hard because dvd sales have decreased since people can pay for and download their favorite movies online.technology has its benefits, but when you take a look at how people communicate with one another, you will quickly see that it has a negative impact. modern technology has allowed people to communicate with just about anyone they want to at any given time. the fact remains that people do not interact personally with one another as often as they used to. this has created a barrier for face-to-face communication among people because they no longer have to hold a meeting in an office or they no longer have to call friends or family members together to wish them a happy birthday or congratulate them on their recent success.as a result, people dont feel the urgent need to step outside of their home to find entertainment, such as participating in a dynamic game of basketball with friends, meeting a friend at a coffee shop, etc.68. the first paragraph is mainly to tell us that _.a. technology is developing rapidly b. many dreams have come true.c. technology benefits us a lot d. technology has its disadvantages69. the author shows us the negative effects of the technology by _.a. telling some stories b. giving some examplesc. listing some figures d. doing some experiments70.what does the underlined word “interact” in the third paragraph probably mean? a. argue b. consult c. communicate d. work71. which of the following is the best title for the passage?a. the negative effects of advancing technologyb. the benefits of the modern technologyc. the development of the modern technologyd. the social problems caused by the technologyei wonder how many hong kong students realize that our standards(水准)are falling these days，especially in english? from my point of view，the idea of teaching smaller classes should be considered. instead of talking about the advantages of teaching smaller classes，let me talk about the problem of having a large number of students in one class. firstly，i dont think teachers can look after so many students all at the same time. thus，the educational standard of the students will fall. in addition，it is possible that teachers are not able to give enough attention to each of the students. with so many students in one class，teachers are sometimes not clear about the different standards of different students. as a result，teachers sometimes do not understand where their students are weak and are unable to give them any special care. im sure you now know the reason why hong kong students standards are falling. therefore，we must take action to improve the situation and overcome (克服)this problem. and the solution that has been mentioned above is a great idea. in smaller classes，students can have more chances to ask questions，as teachers have much more time when they are teaching just a small group of students. furthermore，as there are fewer students than before，teachers can take bette
