not know the way very well. they drove through a town until they found what they thought was the road to dorling，where their friends lived. but it soon became clear that they were not on the road to dorling at all. the road that they were on was getting narrower，and there were no other cars on it. the wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.they came to a small village .they drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. there was nobody about to tell them where they were，or where the road went. just then，ben saw a telephone box，twenty meters or so further on. while he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold，when ben came back to the telephone box，his head down against the wind. he said that there was a tree lying across the road，and that the telephone lines were down. susan heard nothing more from their friends about the dinner.56. some time later ben and susan found they took a wrong road because _.atheir friends lived nearer than they drovebthe road was getting narrower and their car alone was on itcthe hard wind made them get lostdthe road was not the same as before57. ben went to the church to see if there was a name outside because _.ahe was sure

they exchange newspapers and stamps. the school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. officials visit the twin town for celebrations. ordinary people travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! for example, german middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in britain, staying with british families. a few months later, their british friends come to study in germany.many british towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town!tonbridge, a small town in kent, for example, has twin towns in both germany and france. richmond near london has relationships with germany, france and even a town in balkan country!town twinning can help make friends. it helps students improve their language skills, and also helps people to understand the differences between nations.60. which is the

obamas dreams from my father and how it had changed my views of the current us president.the person i was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a wonderfully written book”. however，he then proceeded to talk about mr obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all.i sensed that i was talking to a book liar.and it seems that he is not the only one.clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent.in the world book day survey，dreams from my father is at number 9.the survey lists top ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading.as im not one to lie too often，ill admit here and now that i havent read the entire ten books.but i am pleased to say that i have read the book at number one，george orwells 1984.i think its absolutely outstanding.asked why they lied，the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.this could be difficult if the conversation became more indepth!the world book day survey also has some other interesting information in it.it shows that many people lie about having read classical works by jane austen，the bronte sisters，charles dickens and so on.but when asked which authors they actually enjoy，they named jk.rowling，jilly cooper，and stephen king (ah，the big sellers，in other words)fortyone percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.so which books have you lied about readingif anyand which is your favourite?64. the main reason why people lie about reading is to_. a. make fun of the listener b. impress the listener c. please the listener d. interest the listener65. the underlined word“proceeded” in the passage probably means “_”. a. wanted b. happened c. continued d. stopped66.

people lie about having read classical works by jane austen. d. people usually enjoy reading books by charles dickens.67. what is the best title for the passage? a. are you a book liar? b. readers are all liars c. world book day d. dreams from my fatherdin future a machine will do more work for man. few people have to work long hours. man will have more free time. how will he use his free time in the world of tomorrow? certainly he will still need holidays. people often say,“oh, id like to have a holiday in a place where theres a lot of sun and sand and sea.” or perhaps,“id like a holiday in a place where i can climb mountains and enjoy myself in the snow.”in future the computer will help them to find the right place. the computer will answer their questions. itll also show them pictures and they will tell them where to find the right place for a holiday they want.in future people will almost certainly have to do less work. machines will take more and more of the work from man. each person will get only two or three days of work a week. this means that the rest of the time will be free time.in todays world, children are taught for work. most of the things they learn at school are used to help them in their future work. in future, children will probably have to learn how to spend their free time. they may have to be taught for a life without much work.68. the passage mainly
