7．In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day．Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game．This can be the most important event of the year，except for graduation．Students plan it for many weeks in advance．
Several days before Homecoming，students begin to decorate（装饰） the school．There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome back the graduates from other years．Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after they graduate．
The members of school clubs sell delicious foods and fruits，such as apples and sandwiches．Some clubs even help to welcome visitors．
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago．Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school．
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game．When the game is half over，the band（乐队）comes onto the field and plays school songs．Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen appears．All the students vote（投票）a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King．It is a great honor to be chosen as the Homecoming Queen or King．
Homecoming is a happy day，but it is not perfect unless the football wins the game．Even if the team loses，the students still enjoy Homecoming．Some stay at the school to dance，and others go to a party．For everyone it is a day to remember for a long，long time．

17．Travel is exciting and summer is a busy period for holiday travel．Many people will travel great distances in airplanes，cars or other vehicles．Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air．
One of these is a condition called hypoxia （缺氧症）．It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain．Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground．The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level．This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground．Fewer oxygen molecules （分子） cross the tissues （组织） in the lungs and reach the bloodstream．
The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood．This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body．
One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache．When this happens，the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster．This can make the traveler feel tired．
These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person．But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems．They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack．
Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body's ability to use oxygen．So they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight．They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying．
63．The author writes the passage mainly toC．
A．warn people in airplanes of possible dangers
B．offer some advice on avoiding health problems
C．explain the causes and effects of hypoxia
D．advise people not to smoke or drink alcohol
64．According to the passage，what leads to hypoxia？A
A．The brain lacks enough oxygen．
B．The air pressure in a plane is too high．
C．Our body needs less oxygen during takeoff．
D．The bloodstream contains no oxygen molecules．
65．The underlined part"fix the situation"means"D"．
A．use more oxygen it needs            
B．increase the air pressure
C．reduce the amount of blood          
D．bump more blood to the brain
66．Why should passengers not smoke or drink before flying？A
A．They weaken the body's ability to use oxygen．
B．Smoking may pollute the air inside the airplane．
C．Drinking alcohol may raise one's blood pressure．
D．Drinking is forbidden at the airport．
18．There is a wide and deep choice of a career．Whether he's a hand in construction or sitting behind the desk working on a computer，everyone has some ideas of what is an attractive career．However，making a career choice is not simply a matter of following a dream； for most people it means a lot of research and soul searching．Choosing the right career becomes one of the most important decisions of an individual's life．
It used to be that one followed in the footsteps of their father or grandfather or took over the family's business when it came to making a career choice．These days，a career path can start anywhere and then  veer off  into something totally different．
Career choices must be realistic and well thought out．It is not uncommon for persons to start a career path and realize they have made a terrible mistake，feeling as if it may be too late to turn around．Not only does a career choice concern your strongest skills and interest，it is also something that you will be doing continuously to bring in income．This is why a career choice can be such a personal decision．Formerly it used to be unusual for someone to change occupations or careers more than once or twice in a lifetime； it is now even more unusual to keep the same career during someone's working life．
There are a great many measures in helping one choose the right profession．A number of websites offering tools such as career tests and information，educational resources，resume services and the kind can be found．It is important for one to research one's career in this changing economy situation，and choose the best from several related career choices．

67．According to the author choosing the right careerD．
A．is not difficult at all
B．needs a lot of dreams
C．is an interesting thing

A．tests and information
B．training courses
C．employer's phone numbers
D．instructions on resume．
15．As everyone knows，different countries have different customs in giving gifts．
In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person，because the sound of the word for"clock"is similar to the sound of"death"．Also，don't wrap （用…包裹） a present in white，black，or blue paper，because they are the colors for funerals （葬礼）．Don't give a knife，because something sharp can cut a friendship．
In Russia if you give flowers as gifts，you have to give an odd number of them （one，three，five，etc．） because even numbers of flowers are for funerals．
In Germany if you are invited to dinner，flowers are good gifts to take to your dinner hostess （女主人），but don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her．Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number．Don't take an even number of anything，either．Don't wrap your presents in white，brown，or black paper．

2．All areas of the world face a nurses shortage．But the shortage is most severe in developing countries．Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay，better working conditions and better chances for career development．For example，nearly 2，000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006．
    The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1，000 people．The ratio（比例） of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union（EU）．Now，more than 21，000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States，Canada and Britain．
    Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development（O．E．C．D） in Paris．He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries．He says，"There is concern in most O．E．C．D．countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand．And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing．"Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years．At the same time，the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow，intensifying the shortage of nurses．
    Gaetan Lafortune said，"In the U．S．，for instance，some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020．"The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O．C．E．D．Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses．As a result of that，O．E．C．D．countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses．

12．Today's 20-somethings are often called"millennials．"They grew up around the time of the  millennium（千年）in the year  2000
Are these adults？The law says yes．But societies have their expectations for what being an adult means．Some say today's 20-somethings are having a"delayed adulthood．"The term"boomerang kids"means young people leave their parents'house but，like a boomerang thrown through the air，later return．
Research psychologist Jeffrey Arnett says these terms suggest many Americans are frustrated with 20-somethings．He says Americans should consider the positive aspects．They usually have various school and work experiences or they might．try living in different cities or countries．
Cheryssa Jensen
Cheryssa Jensen might agree．She says she expected to get married right after college and to find a job near her parents．Instead，she traveled the western part of the U．S．，went to a dozen different cities there．Her job also took her to Taiwan，Sweden and Denmark．After a year of traveling，she was not sure what to do．
"Some words were nagging at me，saying，'What else，what else can you do，what else can you do while you re young？"
Julia Shaw
Julia Shaw is 28，just a year older than Cheryssa，but very different in the way she has lived her life so far．
After college，Julia began her career as a writer．She and her husband have stayed in Washington，and have lived there for the last two years．
Julia says many people are surprised that she is married and settled in one place．But she believes she is more free than many other people of her generation and she says marriage has made her life more stable．
Though their stories are different，Julia and Cheryssa still have some things in common．Both say their families are proud of them．Both say they do not feel pressured by society to follow a particular path．And both say they are happy with their decisions．
Julia Shaw and Cheryssa Jensen have something else in common．They have not made a high-paying career their first priority．Instead，most in the survey said the most important things to them are being good parents，having a successful marriage and helping other people．

16．Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance．（71）B
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．（72）DOthers get a monthly allowance．
