Speaking poor Vietnamese, the doctor tried to explain to their 49 audience that unless they could 50 some of the girls lost blood, she would certainly die. Then they asked if anyone would be willing to give blood to help. The request was met with 51 . After several moments, a small hand slowly went up, 52 back down, and then went up again.

His films, including Titanic, The Aviator and The Departed have grossed almost $5 billion worldwide. But the actor is trying to use his celebrity status to do more than sell tickets. Alan Silverman has a look at DiCaprios off-screen commitment to the environment.In his new film J. Edgar, Leonardo DiCaprio stars as J. Edgar Hoover, famous for making the FBI into a world-renowned law enforcement agency and infamous for the files he kept on Americans both in and out of power.Is that legal?Sometimes you have to bend the rules a little in order to keep your country safe.Its interesting in this day and age to do a film about political espionage and wiretapping, notes DiCaprio. I dont think those types of secrets that J. Edgar Hoover was able to obtain and keep would be possible in todays world. With the Internet and Wikileaks it doesnt seem that those types of secrets can be kept for that long a period of time. Its no secret, though, that DiCaprio is a committed and vocal environmental activist. More than a decade ago he inspired a Hollywood trend by becoming the first among his peers to start driving a fuel-efficient hybrid car. I think that every car should have that technology, DiCaprio says. It really has dramatically less emissions and, not only that, the gas mileage is unbelievable. If we have the technology to make every car like that - and we should - we would reduce our dependence on oil, foreign and domestic. DiCaprio says hes been fascinated by nature ever since he was a child growing up in smog-choked Los Angeles. I actually wanted to be a marine biologist when I was very young. That was a great passion of mine, so I suppose in the off-season when not making movies, I became more and more active as an environmentalist and tried to be more vocal about issues that I felt were important, he explains.61.Leonardo DiCaprio is interested in environmental protection because _A. he wants to make more money B. hed like to attract more attentionC. he loves nature and wants to do something meaningful D. none of the above62.From the passage we can infer that Los Angeles was once a/an _ cityA. seriously-polluted B. heavily populated C. open D. none of the above63. Whats best title of the passage ?A. Leonardo DiCaprio - A Famous ActorB. Leonardo DiCaprio Devotes Off-Screen Time to Saving PlanetC. A Famous Actor Devoted to the EnvironmentD. A Committed and Vocal Environmental Activist.64. From the passage we can see that Leonardo DiCaprio is a/an _ person.A. generous B. cold-hearted C. responsible and social D. pessimisticBIts funny to ask you whether youre afraid to sleep. I am afraid to sleep. I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, finally, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the reality I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else. Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind. I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She was selling skirts. She moved with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling . In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue ,green, and white. They reminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair. I dont know the word for “ribbons”, so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful.” She lowered her eyes and said nothing. I wasnt sure if she understood me (I dont speak Laotian very well). I looked back down at the skirts. They had designs in them: squares and triangles and circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness. She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldnt make enough money. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy. The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didnt , of course. I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy. I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colours. The woman in the maketplace! She has given these ribbons to me! There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could make up for all the months that I didnt cry.65. Which of the following in NOT correct?A. Bargaining in Laos was quiet and peaceful.B. The writer was ready to bargain with the woman.C. The writer was not used to bargaining.D. People in Asia always bargain when buying things.66. The writer assumed that the woman accepted the last offer mainly because the womanA. thought that the last offer was reasonable.B. was glad that the writer knew their way of bargaining.C. thought she could still make much money.D. was tired of bargaining with the writer any more.67. Why did the writer finally decide to buy three skirts?A. She wanted to do something as compensation.B. The skirts were cheap and pretty.C. She liked the patterns on the skirts.D. She was fed up with further bargaining with the woman.68. When did the writer left the marketplace, she wanted to cry, but did not becauseA. she had learned to stay cool and unfeeling.B. she was afraid of crying in public.C. she had learned to face difficulties bravely.D. she had to show in public that she was strong.69. Why did the writer cry eventually when she looked at the skirts again?A. she suddenly felt very sad. B. she was overcome by emotion.C. she liked the ribbons so much. D. she felt sorry for the woman.CThe familiar part of the summer landscape is in sight again: the kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, on my way to work these mornings.These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once in the charge of teachers and principals, they now appear to be “self care”. Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus. The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out. “We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and realisties of family life,” says Dr. Ernest Boyer , head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitable.School, whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been.” His is not popular idea. Schools are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social problems. Can they be asked to meet the needs o
