people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other statesThey wanted to buy lottery ticketsThe tickets cost only 09 eachBut that small spending could bring them a reward of 90 millionThat was the second largest lottery jackpot（积累奖金）in historyMore than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawingThose who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80The chance of winning was one in 96 millionBut that little chance certainly didnt affect ticket salesIn the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per secondExperts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the actionOthers say the lottery is a stock market for poor peopleIt allows them to dream about wealth theyll probably never haveBut many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized（合法化的） gamblingSome critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the

because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxesThe profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizensBut critics say this

Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they doBirthday celebrate the day when we were bornBesides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity（成熟）or so we hopeWe all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just olderMost of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as wellFor instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proudFor Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful processBut growing old? That is a different storyGrowing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented（以年轻人为中心）American cultureMost Americans like to look young, act young and feel youngAs the old saying goes, “Youre young as you feel” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years oldPeople in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdomBut Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but goldenEconomically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get byRetirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal incomeSocial security benefits usually cannot make up the differenceOlder people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housingSome even experience age discrimination（歧视）American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streetsShe was often treated rudely-even cheated and robbedHowever, dressed as a young person, she received much more respectUnfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fastWhy?

not good66What does the underlined word “in ”in the last paragraph mean?AseriousBcoolCdisappearing slowlyDgrowing fast67According to this passage, which of the following statement is correct?Athe young are much more respected than the old in AmericaBthe old are much more respected than the young in AmericaCgrowing old makes people feel proud in AmericaDthe young are often discriminated in AmericaDInstitutional construction is needed to guarantee public participation in environmental protection, says a commentary in Dazhong DailyAn excerpt followsThe State Environment Protection Administration（SEPA） last week released a set of guidelines on public participation in environmental impact（影响） assessment, encouraging direct involvement from the general public in the countrys environmental affairsThis is the first official document on public involvement in the environmental sector, which will make government decisions in the sector more transparent and democraticLast year, a series of environment issues plunged SEPA into an administrative accountability（问责）stormThe issues include a construction project that could lead to an ecological disaster in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, water pollution in the Songhua Rive and disputes over the construction of a dam on the Nujing RiverThen came the “environment impact assessment storm,” which showed the efforts made by the government in this aspectAlthough there are some articles on public involvement in the Environment Impact Assessment Law, they are very ambiguous and not practicalThe temporary measures give specific arrangement proceduresIt gives recognition and respect to the public rights to environment participation, and also shows the governments open mind for better environment participationBut such a right of participation is still partial in the assessment stageThere is still a lack of arrangements in the policy-making and law-enforcement phasesIn a modern society, every citizen has a right to live in a good environmentCitizens should be able to participate based on their rights t knowMarking such temporary measures is a good way to realize citizens right to participateBut more should be included, such as citizens rights to participate in law-making, policy-making and law-enforcementThere should be an open mechanism to provide environment information, and a democratic system encouraging the public to participate in decision-making concerning the environment68Which is not the last years environment issue?Aa construction project leading to an ecological disaster in the Old Summer PalaceBwater pollution in the Songhua RiverCdisputes over the construction of a dam on the Nujing RiverDmeasures to guarantee public participation in environmental protection69The underlined word “transparent” in the third paragraph probably means?AclearBdoubtCtemporaryDclean70The best title of this passage is APublic can help environmentBThe serious environmental problemsCThe government can protect the environmentDThe publics rights71Which of the following is not the citizens right to help environmental protection?Athe right to participate in making lawsBthe right to be responsible for environmental disastersCthe right to participate in making policiesDthe right to participate in law-enforcementEAnti-bird flu contingency（意外事故） measures, including a proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics（后勤）measures will be discussed at the Legislative Councils Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Panel meeting next monthSecretary for Health, Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force if an outbreak occurred near Hong KongSpeaking on a radio talk show this morningDr Chow said the separation of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision whether to set up a central slaughtering（屠宰）house or several regional ones, would be based on the demand for live chickensHe pointed out that at present there were 30,000 live chickens imported from the Mainland and 30,000 supplied locallyIf this demand persisted, there would be no central slaughtering house or wholesale point that could handle such an amount and regional slaughtering houses could be the choiceHe added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a final decision was madeRegarding avian flu vaccination（种痘） for humans, Dr Chow said it was still being developedHe added that it may not be reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer 5% protection against a virusHe said Hong Kong had more experience and expertise than neighbouring territories in the fight against viral outbreaks, and was willing to offer them helpHe added there was no “boundary” for infectious diseases and close cooperation among different countries had to be maintained to fight against a possible outbreak72It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _Athe government is planning to take strong action to fight against bird fluBan outbreak which happened near Hong Kong made people very frightenedCanti-bird flu contingency measures will come into use next monthDDr York Chow will organize a meeting to discuss the contingency plan73According t
