Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and language. I was not an early reader and could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal dear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is elf-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-disciplined but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.56. According to the first paragraph, we can learn _.A. the writer didnt like his brothers and sisters at all.B. the writer showed great interest in flowers and insects in his childhood.C. the writer lost his sense of hearing when he was a child.D. the writer did very well in both languages and mental arithmetic.57. Why cant the writer remember clearly his relatives according to the text?A. Because he was too young when he lived with them.B. Because he didnt like them at all at the moment.C. Because he fully devoted himself to observing nature.D. Because his family was then extremely large.58. According to the writer, the basic quality for a scientist is _.A. self-discipline B. determination C. curiosity D. enthusiasm59. What element is the author emphasizing when he says “ A naturalist is born.”A. Self-discipline B. Training C. Goals D. InterestBThese cameras are everywhere and most are openly visible on roads, in airports, businesses, shopping centres and government buildings and even in lifts. Even schools have started using spy cams to watch student activity and behavior.The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them. But the problem lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen. Technology has helped develop tiny cameras that can be very well hidden and they can spy on shoppers, workers, babysitters and people in hotels and clubs without the people even knowing.It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy. Recently, in the U.S., there have been a number of court cases against babysitters whose actions have been recorded by their employers on hidden cameras.The number of cameras in public and private areas is on the increase and with rising crime rates and the recent terrorist attacks, more and more surveillance cameras are being used to watch us. This means that we all have to be aware that our employers, department stores, police and even some of our friends could be spying on us at any time!60.In the writers opinion, surveillance cameras _.A. do more good than wrongB. are overusedC. should be very popular D. ought to be more widely used61. In what way can the surveillance camera benefit the public?A. By helping keep social safety. B. By monitoring the employees.C. By watching the students in class. D. By spying on customers.62. According to paragraphs 3 and 4, people _ the use of hidden cameras.A. object to B. agree to C. feel happy about D. are fearful of63. Spy cams will be more widely used in the future because _.A. all people want to spy B. of the invasion of privacyC. people enjoy being watchedD. of terrorist attacksCIf women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用)? That is for you to decide.64. Designers and big stores always make money_.A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC. by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothingD. because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing65. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _.A. a waste of money B. a waste of timeC. an expression of taste D. an expression of creativity66. New fashions in clothing are created for _.A. the commercial exploitation of womenB. the womens strength of characterC. basic qualities of inconstancy and instabilityD. an important contribution to society67. By saying the conclusions to be drawn are obvious ( Line One to Line Two, Paragraph Four), the writer means that _.A. womens inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB. women are better able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionDWhen the musical sound rings out，you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chatBut although you probably use it all the time，have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you havent，here are some tips to guide youAlways give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang upIf the person who answers is not the one you want，give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you wantThink about the time you call peopleTry not to call too early in the morning(before about 9：00)or too late at night(after about 9：30)Also try not to call at mealtimesIf you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas，remember to follow airline instructionsCell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrivalWhen face to face with someone，do not talk on the phoneIt is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant，or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop Finish any face-to-face business before taking a callContinuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impoliteWhen in a restaurant with your friends，keep phone conversations shortMake a call only if it is important，Practise speaking in a low voiceIf no one looks your way，youve got it.If you go to a theatre，a concert or a cinema，consider the other people around youCheck that your phone is “off” before you enterIf you are expecting a very important call，put your phone on “vibrate”(振动)and run for the exit as soon as you feel itIf you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings，dont answer it，turn it off straight away68Which is true according to the passage above?AYou may call people anytime as you likeBYou may talk loudly on the ph
