I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to 50 a place, and went to get a cup of coffee .When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the 51 seat.

Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms. When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesnt it? It is my most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over $600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better quality. So, you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admit it.However, Im not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary was not interested in the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big market, searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expenses of a trip to London to buy these? I dont think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.We must, however, remember that changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have brought this blonde wig (假发)to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mothers friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.70. What is the author doing at the moment? The author is _.A. selling some fashionable clothes. B. buying the coolest school uniformsC. making a speech to the audience D. traveling to London71. In the authors opinion, fashion _.A. is sometimes valuable for all of us B. is a waste of time and moneyC. is not good for the students D. can cause many workers to lose their jobs.72. According to the author, _.A. The more money you spent, the worse the clothes would be.B. The lower the price is , the better the goods are.C. The less money you pay, the better clothes you getD. Something that has a higher price may has a better quality.73. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Wigs were always popular in the past.B. People in the east once like wearing blonde wigs.C. Fashion is actually a business.D. Business often depends on the production of wigs.CAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man can not see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of greena strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes（蚊子）like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible（看不见的）colors around.74. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_.A. tell orange from yellow B. see in weak lightC. kill mosquitoes D. tell different shapes75Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind women.C. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.76. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a_.A. red light B. yellow light C. blue light D. green lightDIf you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!”These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test the “Learn while you sleep” method, which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is among them.Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day-and this does not affect (影响) his rest in any way. However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 oclock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.77. By the “Learn while you sleep” method, one_ .A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep B. learns how to sleep betterC. is made to remember his lesson in sleepD. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed78. In the experiment, lessons were given_ .A. in the night time B. after lullabies were broadcastC. while the student was awake D. all through the twelve hours79. Before each lesson finishes, the student has to_ .A. get up and take breakfast B. be woken up by a loud voiceC. listen to the lesson again in sleep D. review (复习) the lesson by himself80. The sleep study method is bei
