Verne ran away once as a child and came upon a small boy who was crying. The boy said he had to leave his family to go on a ship, but he didnt want to. So Verne took his place on the ship. He thought he was going to explore the world, but his father caught up with the ship before it got very far and took Jules home and punished him. Verne said that after that he would only travel in his imagination, and he did. Verne wanted to write plays. So as a young man he went to Paris and hung out at local theaters and became friends with all the play-writers there. Thats how he met Alexander Dumas. Dumas wrote adventure stories that interested Verne very much. Verne decided to write one of his own, an adventure about the ever so popular hot air balloon trips of that time. Success was not easy for him, though. He didnt know much about science and he had a wife and two children to take care of. So he would wake up early each morning and do work and research before he went to work to support his family. Once he felt he knew enough about science he began to write his story in the morning. Luckily, his book was finally published by a person named Hetzel. Jules Verne was the first to write a believable story about a person going to the moon. Verne used his knowledge of science to write a book about it. Thanks to his book, people started thinking that going to the moon was more realistic. After Jules Verne died in 1905, other authors started writing about space. Children would read Vernes book and dream of growing up to build rockets.

What everyone is not so well aware of is their sixth sense, a connection to something more and greater than their physical senses are able to perceive. This is the entrance to the world of the unseen things, the unheard communication and the unfelt touch of someone from the spiritual world. The sixth sense is part of everyone whether or not you like it. It is common to all humans. It is not given to special persons. Because of the media and religion, it has spread widely and mysteriously. As a result, people fear the sixth sense. In fact, everyone has it and it is normal. Every human being is born with what he or she needs to communicate with the spirit world. It is from where they came to where they will eventually go when they give up their physical body. This is the same scientific phenomenon as the television or radio. If you want to get the program that you want, you should know a certain band (波段). The sixth sense is similar to the frequency (频率) of someone in the spirit world. Spiritual tuning is done through the brain with mental focus. At one time or another, everyone who is alive today has felt the sixth sense while in the waking state or through a dream. Those who cant recall having the experience are not aware of the signs and dont pay much attention to it. This is the first step in developing your sixth sense.25. Which of the following words has the same meaning as the underlined word in Paragraph 1?A. Notice.B. See.C. Manage.D. Control.26. What does the second paragraph intend to tell us?A. Not everyone has the sixth sense.B. There is no need to fear the sixth sense.C. The sixth sense is scientific.D. It tells how to develop your sixth sense.27. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Human beings are born with what they need to communicate with the spirit world.B. The sixth sense is the same scientific phenomenon as the television or radio.C. The sixth sense is part of you whether or not you are fond of it.D. The first step in developing your sixth sense is dreaming.28. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Communication with the sixth sense.B. Development of the sixth sense.C. Introduction to the sixth sense.D. The things the sixth sense tells you.CIf you go to Brisbane, Australia, you can easily get a small book called Discover Brisbane free. The book tells you almost everything in Brisbane: the restaurants, the shops, the cinemas, the streets, the buses, the trains, the banks, etc. Here is something about banks on page 49:ANZ Banking GroupCnr.

FridaysDSummer means the end of another school year in America. May and June are the graduation season. Centuries of tradition explains the special caps and gowns that students and professors wear at commencement (学位授予典礼) ceremonies. Top members of the class and invited guests offer speeches and advice. Finally the time comes for what everyone has been waiting for: one by one, the names of the students are called. They go to the front and shake hands with school officials. They might receive their official diploma that day or maybe a few weeks later. Graduations are always emotional events. But at Fort Hays State University in Kansas, in May this year, a graduate named Nola Ochs received special attention. Her major area of study was history. There was nothing unusual about that. But Nola Ochs is ninety-five years old. That made her the worlds oldest graduate for the keepers of the Guinness World Records. Until now they have recognized a ninety-year-old journalism graduate from the University of Oklahoma. Nola Ochss granddaughter graduated with her. One of the commencement speakers told the students to take a lesson from Nola Ochs and never stop trying. That is good advice on which to end our Student Series on higher education in the United States. We began in September with the process of applying to an American college or university. Population experts at the Census Bureau say American colleges and universities will have 8,000,000 students this fall. Twenty years ago, there were 3,000,000. Today there are not only more college-age Americans, but more going to college, including older people and women. According to a report from two years ago, fifty-five percent of undergraduates were women, which was 15 percent more than it was twenty years ago. And fifty-nine percent of graduate students were women.33.
