But my life in the university is not as what I had expected. Then I became lazy and silent, even puzzled (困惑). I dont know what my future would be like.Four years in the university is only a short period. And a half of it has passed already. This year, many people, such as my parents and my friends, asked me what I wanted to do and they all told me to make a plan for my life with their thought. I dont want to take their advice. I want my own style. So I think carefully.I have been a young volunteer for five years. It has been a happy time and it is a big thing for me. Then I have a dream to join the University Student Volunteer Go West Program. I think I can be a teacher in the west. I would like to try my best to help them. I want to see the world clearly. To make it come true, I will work harder in the next two years. There is an old saying “Where there is a will, there is a way”. I think my dream will come true in the near future.At last, I want to say to everybody, “Never give up your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dream may not be smooth and wide. Even there are some difficulties you will face. But hold on to the end, you can find there is no greater happiness than making our dream come true.”61. What is the writer? A. A teacher. B. A doctor.

It is said that the noise of planes or trains or trucks can make one deaf if he keeps on hearing it.Noise is a kind of pollution. However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise. They do not know it is harmful to their health. They like to enjoy music when they are doing their work. It is a new danger that music is played through powerful loudspeakers (声音大的喇叭). It can reach 120 decibels (分贝).It is known that continuous (连续不断的) noise of over 85 decibels can make people deaf. For example, when newspapers and books are being printed, the noise is over 85 decibels, and some of the workers become deaf. Scientists believe that 10 percent of all the workers in British printing offices have been deafened (使聋) by the noise. Besides, noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and nervous. We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant. It can do great harm to health and prevent people from working well. Workers in noisy offices are not so efficient as workers in quiet offices. Noise makes people less efficient. Can anything be done to keep down noise?In Britain, the government has made several laws to keep down noise. It has spent a good deal of money making airports and main roads quieter. In Japan, America and Canada there are such laws, too.66. _ people in big cities know noise does harm to their health.A. Many B. Most C. No D. Few 67.

The best place is one that can be reached by car. If we have to carry our supplies(补给) on our backs or in a canoe(独木舟), the amount(总量) we can take will be much less.After you have had some experience near home you can safely try the othe
