18．My name is Clara．I still remember that chilly December day，sitting in science class．I had finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine．A piece of news caught my eye：NASA （美国宇航局） was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover （火星探测器）．Before I even knew anything else about it，a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind，Curiosity．
I couldn't wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay．That afternoon，I raced home，sat down at the computer，and typed until my fingers ached．"Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone's mind…"
Five months later，my mom received a phone call，and immediately，a wide smile spread across her face．
On August 5，2012，at 10：31pm，the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars，and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA．
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am．I have always been fascinated by the stars，the planets，the sky and the universe．I remember as a little girl，my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours．She would tell me stories and point out the stars．Grandma lived in China，thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas，but the stars kept us together even when we were apart．They were always there，yet there was so much I didn't know about them．That's what I love so much about space．
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars．My answer is simple because we're curious．We human beings do not just hole up in one place．We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what's over the hill and beyond the horizon．

66．How did the author get the news about the essay contest？（within 7words）
By reading a TIME for Kids magazine．/From a TIME for Kids magazine．
67．In which year was the author born according to the passage？（within 2words）
In 2000．
68．Why did author have a front-row seat in NASA？（within 10words）
Because she won the essay contest held by NASA．/Because she named the Mars rover"Curiosity"．
69．What does the author remember about the time spent with Grandma？（within 15words）
She sat together with grandma listening to her stories about stars．/Her grandma told her stories about stars．/They sat together talking about stars．
70．What does the underlined phrase"hole up"in the last paragraph probably mean？（1word）
stay/remain/live．

分析 本文讲述了作者在十一岁时参加美国国家航空航天局NASA的作文比赛并获得以NASA的前排座位作为奖励的经历．
作者在十一岁时偶然看到《时代》儿童刊物中NASA刊登的征文广告时激动不已，一个主题冲击着作者的大脑--好奇．因此他以"好奇心"为主题写了一篇文章给NASA，并且获得奖励--在NASA的前排座位观看以自己的文章命名的火星探测器"好奇心"顺利在火星降落．作者认为宇宙如此浩淼，人类不可能禁锢在一个小星球里，人类带着好奇心不断地探索宇宙的奥秘．

解答 66．By reading a TIME for Kids magazine．/From a TIME for Kids magazine．
67．In 2000．
68．Because she won the essay contest held by NASA．/Because she named the Mars rover"Curiosity"．
69．She sat together with grandma listening to her stories about stars．/Her grandma told her stories about stars．/They sat together talking about stars．
70．stay/remain/live
66．By reading a Time for Kids magazine Or：From a Time for kids magazine 细节题． 通过第一段的阅读，可知作者是在《时代》杂志的儿童刊上发现了征文比赛的广告的．
67 In 2000．细节题． 根据文章第一 段 a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind，Curiosity．他11岁，第三段Five months later，my mom received a phone call，and immediately，a wide smile spread across her face．五个月后母亲收到一个电话，和第四段On August 5，2012，at 10：31pm，the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars，2012年卫星接触到火星地面，可知作者出生在2000年．
68．Because she won the essay contest held by NASA．Or：Because she named the Mars rover"Curiosity"Or："Curiosity"was chosen as the name of the Mars rover 细节题． 通过三四段的阅读，妈妈的开心的样子以及我获得了奖励可知"我"投稿后是获奖了，因此答案是因为作者参加NASA举办的作文比赛获奖了．She won the essay contest held by NASA．（答案不唯一）
69 She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about the stars．Or：Her grandma told her stories about the stars．Or：They sat together talking about the stars．细节题． 由第四段句子可以得知答案：I remember as a little girl，my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours．She'd tell me stories and point out the stars．答案可以归纳为：Her grandma told her stories about the stars．
70 Stay/Remain/Live 猜测词义题．根据文章最后一段We human beings do not just hole up in one place．We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what's over the hill and beyond the horizon．由后面的句子可知是转折，后面句子表达"不断地探索宇宙新的领域"，可知作者的态度是，我们不会局限居住在一个地方，推知hole up的同义词为Stay/Remain/Live/Hide．

点评 做阅读表达题时，理清文章的脉络、掌握文章的主旨大意，并能运用简洁的语言表达．回答要有针对性观点要明确．不要摘抄文章原句．

3．Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills．Shopping when not hungry，sticking to a grocery list，and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill．
Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal．If that's not possible，they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list．Most shoppers are less tempted to buy extras when they are not bothered by hunger．
Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money，shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save．A carefully planned list should include in-season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons．Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers，so buying the"grocery issue"is worth the investment．However，it's important to remember that many newer，more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy．
Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list，it's time to go to the store．However，no preparations are complete without a pocket calculator or piece of paper and pencil to figure costs．
Once at the store，the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules．The shopper should not stay longer than necessary，because bills go up each minute the shopper is       ．So，setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill．Of course，the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist impulses to buy additional items．If the grocery list is a short one，some shoppers resist impulse buying by using the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart．

76．What is the best title of the passage？（within 10words）
Tips on how to cut down the grocery bill
77．Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases．（no more than 5words）

79．Give one of the suggestions you have on avoiding buying additional items．（ no more than 10words）
various answers are ok．
80．What does the word"it"in paragraph 3refer to？（no more than 3words）
