If I was calling her on the phone, and at the same time you were 20 meters away, and listened to me from the other side of the street, who would hear what I said earlier, my sister or you, and why?” The cleverest boy at once answered, “Your sister, Miss Rose, because electricity travels faster than sound waves.”“Thats very good,” Miss Rose answered. But then one of the girls put up her hand, and Miss Rose said, “Yes, Betty.” “I dont agree,” Betty said, “Your sister would hear you earlier because when its eleven oclock here, its only six oclock in Washington.”( ) 56.

Now tele-shopping is starting in Europe(欧洲). In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.Tele-shopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made 100 million. In France there are two tele-shopping channels, and the French spend about 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany, until last year tele-shopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed (允许) more tele-shopping. Other channels can open for tele-business, including(包括) the largest American tele-shopping company and a 24hour tele-shopping company. German businesses are hoping this new tele-shopping will help them sell more things.Some people like tele-shopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call tele-shopping “junk (垃圾)on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.The need for high quality means that European tele-shopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.( ) 61. Tele-shopping is _in Europe.A. not popular B. growing C. not possible D. cheap( ) 62. People like tele-shopping because it is _.A. American B. cheaper C. easier D. more popular( ) 63.

In Germany, tele-shopping may _ .A. help businessmen get more money B. keep the shops open longer C. have fewer buyers D. bring better TV programs( ) 65. The best title of this passage is _ .A. American Tele-shopping B. Tele-shopping Companies C. Tele-shopping in Europe D. Tele-shopping Junk on the AirCHappiness is for everyone. You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something also that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的） door, when it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.( ) 66. Happiness is for_. A. those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools B. those who have nice cars C. those who has lots of money D. everyone( ) 67. Which of the following sentence is not right? A. If you feel you are happy, you will be happy. B. If you have lots of money, you must be very happy. C. If you put your heart into it, happiness is always around you. D. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. ( ) 68. Why is happiness not the same as money? A. Even if you are poor, you can also feel happy. B. Even if you have lots of money, you may feel very lonely. C. Happiness is a feeling of our heart. D. All the above is right.( ) 69. What does “Life is like a revolving door, when it closes, it also opens” mean?A. Life is a revolving door. B. When a revolving door closes, it also opens. C. When you loose a chance sometimes, you may get another once later. D. Revolving door makes your life happy. ( ) 70. What is the best title of this passage? A. Happiness B. Happiness and Money C. A Revolving Door D. When are you happy?B）阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。Walt Disney was born in 1901. The Mickey Mouse created(被创作) in 1927 made him very famous.
