I will finish junior middle school , but I like my teachers and classmates. I can not imagine parting with them. What can I do ? Limei, BeijingDear Limei: As we get older and walk through our lives we have to face change. Change is something that some people love and others, like yourself, dont and try to avoid.(避免)。 However, if you want your life to move forward and to be happy and successful, you have to realize that change is necessary. Welcome change with open arms-telling the world that you are not afraid. Although you will part with your present teachers and classmates, you will always be able to remember the things you used to do and the fun you used to have. When you feel sad, or when you are alone, you can close your eyes and imagine that you are back with your friends and teachers. Remember you memories are yours forever. Enjoy the time you have left at your school. If possible, you could take pictures of your friends and teachers to remember them by. Before you leave, you could also buy a notebook and ask your friends and teachers to write something in it for you. They can write about the things that they like about you, the things that they will remember about you, or they could just write their wishes for your success in the future. Perhaps you could buy a good hardback book and put the pictures and things that they write together. You could also include your thoughts at the time of leaving the school. You could write lists of your favourite teachers, classes and sports. This is something you can treasure (珍藏) for the rest of your life. You are lucky to have had such a happy experience at school. Your next school will probably be just as enjoyable. Editor61. According to these letters Limei is _. A. a girl who likes to go to Senior High School B. a student who likes change in her life.

In 1963, after his army service, Shu entered a medical school and later became a doctor of Chinese medicine. As part of his studies he had to work in the mountains. There he often heard of people who had their arms and legs cut off after a snake bite in order to save their lives. “ I was greatly surprised by the story of an old farmer I met. It was a very hot afternoon. The old man was pulling grass in his field when he felt a pain in his left hand. He at once realized he had been bitten by a dangerous snake. At once he wrapped a piece of cloth tightly (紧紧地) around his arm to stop the poison (毒) spreading to his heart. Rushing home he shouted “Bring me a knife!” Minutes later lost his arm forever.” “The sad story touched me so much that I decided to work as a doctor helping people bitten by snakes,” Shu said.65.

A. he wanted to save peoples arms and legs. B. he had studied it at a medical school. C. he had seen snakes biting people. D. his army service had finished.(C) Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bike and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money. Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shell (贝壳) Shells were not the only things used as money. In China , cloth and knives were used . In the Philippines Island, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, money tails, and salt were used as money in parts of Africa. Cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too. The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. Later, countries began to make coins of gold and silver. But even gold and silver were inconvenient (不方便) if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today. Money had had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.68. Rice was used as money for a long time _. A. in a European country. B. in parts of Africa C. in ancient China. D. in the Philippine Islands69. The word “strung” in this passage probably means _. A. tied B. came C. carried D. selected70. People began to use paper money because they _. A. wanted to buy expensive things. B. wanted to save gold. C. found it more valuable. D. found it more convenient.71. The best topic (话题)of the article is_. A. How Many Kinds of Money Are There in the World. B. Why People Began to Use Paper Money C. Money in Different Countries D. The History of Money (D)Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help to solve one of the countrys worst problems-crime (犯罪).Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals (罪犯) are young. They often come from sad families, with only one parent or no parent at all. There are many young criminals in prison. But prison does not change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in times of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest”. He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons (马车)，3000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than one year.The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance. It is hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horse, which can help them to a new life.Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young man.”72. Why is Bob Burton right? A. Because he can help crime. B. Because three or four is better than six or seven. C. Because the young criminals have hard life on the road. D. Because he can stop crime in the country.73. From this passage we may conclude that _. A. getting up before the sun rise can help people out of crime. B. love can help young people to a new life. C. traveling can help all criminals out of prison
