Both of their cars became totally damaged. But amazingly neither of them was hurt. God works in mysterious ways. After they got out of their cars, the woman said, “So you are a man. Thats interesting. Im a woman. Wow, just look at our cars ! There is nothing left, but were unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days.” Flattered, the man replied, “Oh yes, I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!” The woman continued, “ and look at this, here is another miracle. My car is completely destroyed but this bottle of wine doesnt break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.” Then she handed the bottle to the man. The man nodded his head in agreement, opened it and drank half the bottle and then handed it back to the woman. The woman took the bottle and immediately put the cap on, and handed it back to the man.The man asked, “Arent you having some?”The woman replied, “No, I think Ill just wait for the police-”56.

Mrs Smiths dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it:“Give my dog half a pound of meat.”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“Take this to the butcher(*person whose job is selling meat). and hes going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butchers. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the ladys handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it， he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (*people who buy sth. from a shop).But, the dog came again at four oclock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butchers more surprise, it came for the third time at six oclock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!59.

Enter the Red Hat Society a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun. “My grandmothers didnt do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,” said Emils Comette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society. While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old. If you take into consideration feminism (女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple (紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing. “The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesnt go,” said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention. “The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “Were a ladies play group. It couldnt be more simple,” added Coopers assistant Joe Heywood.64The underlined word “chapter” in paragraph 2 means _.Aone branch of an organization Ba written agreement of a clubCone part of a collection of poems Da period in a societys history65From the text, we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who Ahave gradually become more noticeable Bare worried about getting old too quickly Care enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spendDtried living a different life from their parents when they were young66It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are .Ainterested in raising money for social workBprogrammers who can plan well for their futureCbelievers in equality between men and womenDgood at cooking big meals and taking care of others67Who set up the Red Hat Society ?AEmily Cornette . BEllen Cooper .CJenny Joseph . DJoe Heywood .68Women join the Red Hat Society because .Athey want to stay youngBthey would like to appear more attractive Cthey would like to have fun and live for themselves Dthey want to be more like their parents DI love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you wont find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charitys appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find childrens books, all 10 or 20 pence each.Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they dont encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than 110 million a year, funding（资助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.69. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _. A. its convenient location B. its great variety of goods C. its spirit of goodwill D. its nice shopping environment70. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to _. A. sell cheap products B. deal with unwanted things C. raise money for patients D. help a foreign country71. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops? A. The operating costs are very low. B. The staff are usually well paid. C. 90% of the donations are second-hand. D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.72. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A. What to Buy a Charity Shops. B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development. C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate. D.
