6．Women make better drivers than men for many reasons．Why is that，do you suppose？Wouldn't you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless？If you ask me，I'd like to say，men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth-women are queens of the road．
Unlike men，women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going．We don't drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction．Have you ever be in a car with a man who is lost？He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth．And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he's made another wrong turn．
Speeding is what men do best on the road．Traffic is not a race．There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women．Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don't get pulled over as frequently．We don't speed．We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger．
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what．The seat is backed as far as possible，and they're totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level．You don't ever see women driving like that．
I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men．We women rule the road．Oh，and men，if you want to continue criticizing （批评） women for being bad drivers，bring it on．We know you lack confidence，or else you wouldn't be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with．
66．If a woman driver feels lost，she willD．
A．tell the man next to her to shut up         
B．drive aimlessly for hours without stopping
C．take the wrong turns at a high speed        
D．stop the car and ask people for help

A．women drivers have more responsibility for lives
B．women drivers often play tricks on the police in charge
C．men drivers are more confident and skillful in driving
D．men drivers usually have to be pulled over to the roadsides
68．According to the passage，what does the writer worry most about men drivers？C
A．not stopping for directions             
B．making jokes about women
C．not paying full attention                   
D．getting more speeding tickets

The National Teacher of the Year Program focuses public attention on teaching excellence and is the oldest and most famous national honors program for teachers．"ACEI is a proud participant in the selection process for the National Teacher of the Year，and we are pleased to see Anthony Mullen selected．Mr．Mullen is a dedicated individual who possesses a wealth of talents and skills as a teacher．His devotion to young people，however，reaches beyond the call of duty．Mr．Mullen extends himself to adviser and guides children who need to know that they are not forgotten and that they，too，are unique and special，"stated ACEI Executive Director Diane Whitehead．
ACEI is one of 15national education organizations that select the National Teacher of the Year from among the state teachers of the year，including those representing the District of Columbia，the Department of Defense Education Activity，and five U．S．extra state departments．

17．If someone drops a fork at Dinner in the Sky，a seven-ton platform may have to be lowered 50meters to pick up a new one．Joining a growing trend （倾向） for extreme dining---from supper in the dark to eating in the jungle---Dining in the Sky takes the concept to new heights，with a selected group of guests sitting around a table suspended （悬挂） 50meters in the air．
You could be eating above a forest，a beach or in the midst of a European capital，floating above landmarks usually only seen from the ground．Whatever the location，the aim is to elevate（提高） dinning out of the ordinary．
That's the case with the Brussels edition of Dinner in the Sky，which during June gives 22dinners at a time the chance to enjoy gourmet（珍馐的） food while suspended near sites such as the Royal Palace and the famed Atomium（原子塔）．
"I just thought，wouldn't it be nice if we could eat up here？"explained Stefan Kerkhofs，one of the Belgian creators．
Kerkhofs，who used to set up bungee-jumping and amusement park installations，partnered with marketing executive David Ghelys to develop Dinner in the Sky six years ago．The two now travel the world putting on dramatic dining shows．
Kerkhofs has designed and built 40platforms and charges up to 250euros a head for the experience，with Las Vegas，Barcelona，Paris，Monaco and Tokyo all popular destinations（目的地）．
Besides the beautiful views from up above，Dinner in the Sky also ensures that the food is first-class，with some of the world's top chefs preparing the meals．One recent menu included gourmet dishes such as foie gras （鹅肝） and lobster with lemongrass．
Of course，Kerkhofs has to think seriously about security，too．Diners are carefully strapped （捆绑） into seats similar to those on a rollercoaster （过山车） and elevated gently by crane to the height，which depends on wind and other weather conditions，but hits a maximum of 50meters．

66．What is"Dinner in the Sky"？B
A．It's an idea of kerkhofs and David Ghelys．
B．It's an event in which guests dine at heights of up to 50meters above the ground．

A．spectacular views from up above and fresh air
B．first-class food and fresh air
C．spectacular views from up above and first-class food
D．fresh air and gourmet dishes such as foie gras
69．How do creators ensure diners'safety up in the air？C
A．Diners are put into a steel box．
B．Diners should put on expensive and strong clothes．
C．Diners are strapped into seats similar to those on a rollercoaster．
D．Diners ate strapped into the buildings similar to those on a rollercoaster．

14．This week，we talk about the application process for American colleges and universities．This is part eight in our Foreign Student Series．
Earlier，we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world．We also discussed the rules for entering in the United States．And we talked about programs that can be completed online．
But if your goal is to come to the United States to study，then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you．Be sure to choose more than one．Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools．
Some students want to attend a small college．Others want to go to a big university．If a really big university appeals to you，then there are ones likeOhio State．That university in Columbus，Ohio，in the Midwest，has almost fifty-two thousand students．There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries．
Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Web site．You can pay the application charge online with a credit card．Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment．
Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online．
You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies．
Completing a college application can take some time．But answering all the questions is not enough．Another important step is taking admissions tests．The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take．Another one is the ACT．
Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL--the Test of English as a Foreign Language．
If you have a general question for our Foreign Student Series，write to special@voanews．com．

1．Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy．But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services．Today's advertisements，or ads，try to get consumers to buy certain brands．Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can，sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing，eat a special kind of cereal，or see a movie．Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it．
For example，you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket．There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves．You may not have space on a shelf for another．But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box，you may want it．
Advertising must get attention．To be effective，it must be exciting，entertaining，or provide some pleasure．The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product．The idea is what the ad is really selling．One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports．That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy．

11．Parties，iPods，concerts，movies，TV shows，video games，traffic．All of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable．But our 21st-century lifestyle is also loud and，if we don't take notice，it can have an effect on our hearing．
Most teenagers don't think about hearing loss．But if you experience any of the following symptoms，you may already be hearing damaged：you make efforts to hear normal talk，you have to turn up the TV or radio so high that others complain，you watch other people's expressions to understand what they are saying，you ask people to repeat themselves，you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears．
iPods and other MP3 players are as common as the clothes you wear，and just as fashionable．But if you turn up an iPod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume，and listen to music for more than an hour，you are asking for trouble．And，it does not matter if the music you play is classical，rock or heavy metal．
Some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to iPods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss．
Why is an iPod dangerous？With ear buds placed directly in the ear canal and high-volume music played over a long period of time，it's like working in a loud factory all day，being a maintenance person under a jet airplane or using a jackhammer（手提钻）on a building site．
Similarly，iPod music can cause a short time or permanent hearing damage．A loud iPod can cause a ruptured（破裂的）eardrum and，over time，may cause permanent damage to the tiny hairs in the inner ear．If these tiny hairs are damaged，they cannot effectively send sounds to the auditory nerves（听觉神经）that connect to the brain．If this happens，hearing loss becomes permanent．
67．Which of the following shows that you are suffering hearing loss？B
A．You are interested to listen to others'talking．
B．You have to read others'expressions to understand them．
C．You can only understand others over the phone．
D．You always think you hear the ringing of the phone．
68．Which of the following is TRUE when you listen to music？C
A．Listen at least an hour every time．
B．Turn up the volume to the highest level．
C．Keep the sound lower than 60% of its highest volume．
D．Choose classical，rock or heavy metal music．
69．What is the correct order of causing permanent hearing loss？D
a．The eardrum is broken．
b．The auditory nerves cannot receive sounds．
c．Tiny hairs are damaged．
d．Ear buds are placed directly in the ear canal．
e．High-volume music is played over a long time．
A．d-a-c-b-e           B．e-c-a-b-d              C．b-c-a-d-e           D．d-e-a-c-b
70．This passage is mainly aboutB．
A．music that teenagers like         
B．hearing problems caused by the loud world
C．ways that teenagers enjoy music     
D．dangerous modern lifestyles of teenagers．
18．The Chinese word"Shanzhai"means a small mountain village，but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes（假货），after"Shanzhai Cell-phones"produced by small workshops in southern China，became popular in the mainland market over the past few years．Besides"Shanzhai"electronic products，there are"Shanzhai"movies，"Shanzhai"stars and even a"Shanzhai"Spring Festival Gala，a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve．
"Shanzhai"has become a culture of its own，meaning anything that imitates something famous．In Chongqing，"Shanzhai"version"Bird's Nest"woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention and the"Shanzhai"-version"Water Cube"is popular with tourists，too．Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing．
A literature critic，said that taking the"Shanzhai"Gala as an example，when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience，the"Shanzhai"version appears timely to attract people．"Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation，"Shanzhai"culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds．"
    To the mainstream culture，the rise of"Shanzhai"culture is a challenge as well as a motivation．People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose．
66．Which of the following does NOT have a"Shanzhai"version so far according to the writer？D
A．electronic products                      B．movies and stars

D．anything of poor quality．
68．We can infer that mainstream culture．D
A．is held back by"Shanzhai"culture
B．is the challenge of"Shanzhai"culture
C．will be replaced by"Shanzhai"culture
D．may develop faster because of the challenge of"Shanzhai"culture
69．Compared with"Shanzhai"Gala，the traditional CCTV program may not．D
A．have advanced techniques and operation

C．"Shanzhai"culture-the mainstream culture
D．"Shanzhai"culture should be banned．
15．Dolls（娃娃）come in all shapes and sizes．Many people like to collect them．The reason is probably that dolls make people feel like they just gave birth to their own children．
One famous doll company is Madame Alexander．The dolls it produces are usually bought by mothers for their daughters to play with．Two of the most expensive dolls they have are Kathleen Toddler whose market price today is from 125to300 and Binnie，which costs about 175to475．
Cabbage Patch Kids are another kind of dolls．That company's marketing policy is different because you don't buy a doll but rather adopt one．You just have to pay a small，regular fee．They were very successful in the 1980s．
 Lee Middleton also produces baby dolls，including different collections．As they are very lively，these dolls are still very popular among collectors．
Another company that makes dolls is Tiny Miracles．They have a collection called the Ashton Drake Galleries that consists of 10-inch-long babies．They are not sold in stores，so if you want one，you have to order it straight from Tiny Miracles．
These are just a few of the baby dolls on the market．The best place to sell dolls is online because almost everyone has a computer and the company can make money here much more easily than by putting an ad in the newspaper．The companies don't even have to create their own websites because they can use auction（拍卖）sites，meaning they just have to open an account．

16．"Tear'em apart!""Kill the fool!Murder the referee（裁判）！"
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events．At the time they are made，they may seem innocent（无辜的） enough．But let's not kid ourselves．They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed（流血）．Volumes have been written about the way words affect us．It has been shown that words having certain connotation（涵义）may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior．I see the term"opponent"as one of those words．Perhaps the time has come to delete（删除） it from sports terrors．（恐怖）
The dictionary meaning of the term"opponent"is"adversary"；"enemy"；"one who opposes your interests．"Thus，when a player meets an opponent，he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy．At such times，winning may dominate （支配）one's intellect（智力），and every action，no matter how gross （rude），may be considered justifiable（无可非议的）．I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough．The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed，"Are they wet enough now？"
In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way．I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play．Off the court，they are good friends．Does that make any sense？It certainly，gives proof of a court attitude which departs（背离） from （goes against） normal behavior．
Therefore，I believe it is time we elevated（提升）the game to the level where it belongs thereby （因而）setting an example to the rest of the sporting world．Replacing the term"opponent"with"associate"could be an ideal way to start．
The dictionary meaning of the term"associate"is"colleague"，"friend"，"companion"．Reflect a moment!You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term"associate"rather than"opponent"．

56．Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view？B
A．Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences．
B．The words people use can influence their behavior．
C．Unpleasant words in Sports are often used by foreign athletes．
D．Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field．
57．Harsh words are spoken during games because the playersD．
A．are too eager to win
B．are usually short-tempered and easily offended
C．cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition
D．treat their rivals as enemies
58．What did the handball player，do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves？D
A．He refused to continue the game．
B．He angrily hit the referee with a ball．
C．He claimed that the referee was unfair．
