He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and remorse（懊悔）.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads-one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless.He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, O youth, return! O my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and Ill choose the better way! But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: Come back, my early days! Come back!And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Years Night.Those who still linger on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!56. Which of the descriptions of the man in the passage is TRUE? A. He was a man over 60 . B.

A man with good manners doesnt hurt others feelings, and therefore hes on good terms with everyone .In this way he helped to keep peace in society.But a man with bad manners has no respect for others He uses words carelessly and behaves rudely towards others and causes a lot of unpleasantness. In the end , he himself will suffer most. Everyone will avoid him and he will be forced to live a lonely life.To live well in society , money alone is not enough. We should also have good manners, for its human nature to seek friendship ; and friendship cannot be bought with money. Friendship has to be earned through our own attitude towards others. If we are kind to others, they will be kind to us, and kindness is essential to good manners .Bad manners drive away friends as well as our own family members. A man with god manners has many friends .He commands the respect of all those who come into contact with him. He doesnt talk ill about others. Even when hes provoked , he tries his best not to offend others. He has sympathy for the weak and the disabled. There are, however, many people who behave so well outside their homes that they are respected and admired by everyone. But in their own homes they are worse than the devil .Such people cannot be said to have good manners .It doesnt take long for others to discover this. If ones manners are good, one behaves well everywhere, even when one is away from the critical eyes of others. It is therefore essential to have good manners. 63. The greatest benefit that people with good manners bring to society is _.A. peace B. joy C. respect D. friendship64.

Nor is it a squirrel, or a mouse. Its definitely a rodent (啮齿目动物), and its also a brand-new family of mammals. The locals of the Southeast Asian country of Laos call the creature a kha-nyou (ga-nyou). The kha-nyou have long body hair, short legs, and a hairy tail less thick than a squirrels. Theyre vegetarians living in the rocky hills of Laos, and they come out at night, but for more information, youll have to ask the Lao people. It was for sale on a table next to some vegetables. I knew immediately it was something I had never seen before, said Robert Timmins, a researcher for the Wildlife Conservation Society. Timmins was working in Laos to stop people from selling endangered animals when he spotted the species. Criminals who trade illegal wildlife can make a lot of money, but they also push the animals closer to disappearing from the planet. The kha-nyou live in karsts, or rough rock. Mark Robinson, a scientist with the World Wildlife Foundation, set out with Lao villagers to find a few more of the rodents for study. They climbed onto a karst, trapped with rice, and caught several. To find something so unusual in this day and age is just extraordinary, said Timmins. For all we know, this could be the last remaining animal family left to be discovered. Its a big deal to discover an entirely new family of animals. Humans, for instance, belong to the same family as great apes, chimpanzees, and gorillas. So even though kha-nyous look like rats, theyre really very different. The last time scientists discovered a new family of mammals may have been in the 1970s, when they found new bats in Thailand. Timmins seems to have the gift for finding new animals in Laoshe discovered a new species of rabbit there in 1999. Scientists call the kha-nyou Laonastes aenigmamus, which means mysterious mouse that lives among the stones. But if thats too hard, Timmins and Robinson suggest you call them rock rats. 67. Which of the following is not the name for this new creature?A. Karsts. B. Kha-nyou. C. rock rats. D. Laonastes aenigmamus.68. Which of the following CANNOT describe the new species of rodent?A. They live among the rocky hills of Laos. B. They live on meat of other animals.C. They look like rats but are of different kind.D. They are of the latest discovery of a new species.69. How did Mark Robinson and his team find the rodent for study ?A. by chance B. by trading with criminals who trade illegal wildlifeC. by using rice as bait . D. by talking with the people selling endangered animals70. It implies in the passage that _.A. finding a new animal family in Southeast Asia is easyB. finding a new animal family in modern time is extremely difficul
