All四、阅读理解（共20题; 每题2分，计40分）(A)A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, look at why you do it. In other words, whats the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn.

You can have a lot of fun here, especially on holidays.There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is obviously Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most overseas students love to fly back to their home countries to spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines(使联合) “Good Friday” and “Easter Monday”. Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.The Chinese New year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school to study and do his or her normal duties.( )66.

A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（挤）out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite（咬）the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard. “The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!”A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？ “Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship. ( )71. Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because _.A. one was biting the otherB. the mouth of the hole was too smallC. they were not afraid of smokeD. one was trying to help the blind one( )72. “it made sense” probably means _.A. it was correct B. it was strangeC. it was funny D. it was sweet( )73. Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage？A. They did not dare to answer.B. They had mistaken the relationship of the mice.C. They regretted（后悔）driving a poor blind mouse away.D. They did not express themselves much better.( )74. It is clear that _.A. all the mice came out of the hole easilyB. each of the people understood the relationship differentlyC. the people wanted to kill the mice with smokeD. the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight( )75. The best title for the passage is _.A. TWO LOVELY MICEB. HELP PRODUCES LOVEC. FRIENDS IN NEEDD.
