One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors magazine.56The passage is mainly about .Athe history of phone cardsBphone card collecting as a hobbyCreasons for phone card collectingDthe great variety of phone cards.57When did people in Britain begin to use phone cards?AIn 1971.BIn 1975.CIn 1976.DIn 1981.58The main reason for most people to collect phone cards is that .Athey find the cards beautiful and easy to keepBthey like to have something from different countriesCthey want to make money with cardsDthey think the cards are convenient to use59The writer mentions a market in Paris in order to show that .Acard collecting is popular among young peopleBFrench and Japanese cards are the most valuableCpeople can make money out of card collectingDcard collectors magazines are very usefulBThe president of Harvard University, in the United States, recently made comments that have caused an uproar (喧嚣) among women. Women are outnumbered (数目超过) by men in many scientific fields, and he said that this may be due to some inherent (内在的) differences in intellectual abilities. Basically, he was saying that women may not be as good as men in science. This was difficult for many people to accept, especially women who are themselves scientists and professors. Many professors at Harvard were upset by his comments and did not want to support him.People have been fighting for years for equality between men and women. Therefore, it is discouraging to hear the president of a prestigious university say something that is negative. Biologically, male and female brains are different, but that does not mean that one is better than the other. The important thing to remember is that you can do anything that you put your mind to.When I was a little girl, I was always told that I could be whatever I wanted to be. No one ever told me not to do something just because I was a girl. This has helped me to be very focused and determined in my life. There are endless possibilities for my future.Determination and hard-work are what make a good student. It doesnt matter whether that student is a boy or a girl.You may come across road-blocks when you are pursuing (追求) your academic career. It is not always easy to follow your dreams. As a girl, you may sometimes feel that you only see men who have good careers or important jobs. But I encourage you not to give up. The key is to find out what your strengths are and focus on them. Everyone has unique talents that can be very helpful in the future. If you believe in yourself you will be amazed at what you can do!60.

For example, according to a report from U. N. , between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad. Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and 15 percent of Turkish physicians also went to work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study. Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home. The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia. Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing. Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries. The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too. However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on. Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreignborn, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year. Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.67.Which of the following is not the reason for “the brain drain”? A. Better chances of study. B. Better research condition C. Good job possibility D. Good housing68.The brain drain to the United States may be decreasing mainly because_. A. many foreign scientists are ordered to return to their motherlands B. there are fewer and fewer good jobs in the USA C. they dont need any foreign scientists now D. the universities refuse to provide money for the foreign scientist69.How many American doctors are foreignborn? A. More than 20 percent B. About half of them C. Several thousand D. About 15 percent70. Which is the best title for this passage?A. How to seek a job in the USA B. Doctors immigration to the USAC. The brain drain D. A strange case. EIt was 3:12 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling（爆裂声）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island. With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn. The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mothers room. He found it impossible to waked her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and , as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.” On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother. First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden. He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?Grasping firmly a ball of string（线绳） from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mothers room. Tying one end of the string to her hand， he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.71Why did Glenn run downstairs first?AHe wanted to find out what was happening.BHe was worried about his mothers safety.CHe wanted to save his sister and brother.
