4.The earth is the only planet that scientists think has life.Why does the earth have life while the other planets don't?For one thing,the earth is just the right temperature.As the third planetfrom the sun,the earth seems to be just the right distance away.The planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake in the sun.The farthest planets are cold balls.
When the earth developed-which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago-many gases covered the earth.The gases caused the earth to be hot.But something wonderful happened.The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form.It rained very hard for a very long time.This gave the earth its oceans.Water made it possible for plants to grow.The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere.Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.
Only one other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the ear th.That planet is Mars.Mars is smaller than the earth,and it is quite a bit cooler.But it is not too cold for humans.On some days,the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States.If you wore a special space suit,you could walk around on Mars.You would have to bring your own air to breathe,the air on Mars is too thin to breathe.
Mars has the largest volcano (火山) in the solar system.It is sixteen miles high.The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high.The most unexpected sight on Mars is dried up river beds.Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now.Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars?Scientists are not sure,but there has been no si gn so far.

A.The earth is j ust the right temperature.
B.The volcanos on earth are lower than those on Mars.
C.There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.

B.Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.
C.There is almost no oxygen in the air on Mars.
D.Mars is smaller than the earth,and it is quite a bit cooler.

19.Please excuse me if I'm a little sad today.Mark is leaving,and I'm feeling kind of sad.
You probably don't know Mark,but you might be lucky enough to know someone just like him.He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining great professional(职业的) skills with a sweet nature.He just wants to do his job,and to do it superbly well.And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity.It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime,and we're genuinely,sincerely pleased for him.But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague (同事).
Life has a way of throwing these curve (曲线) balls at us,just when we start to get comfortable with a person,a place or a situation.A terrific (极好的) neighbor moves away.Someone in the family graduates.A child finds new love and loyalties through marriage.The family's bread-winner is laid off.
But how do we do that?A friend of mine who works for the government once told me that the answer to life's problems can be summed up in four words,"Go with the flow."
"It's like surfing,"Chris explained."You can't organize the ocean.Waves just happen.You ride them where they take you,then you paddle back out there and catch the next one.Sure,you're always hoping for the perfect wave where you can get.But mostly you just take them the way they come."
I'm not exactly sure,but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events-both good and bad.There will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no control.That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your dreams come true.It just means that when things come up that aren't exactly in your plan,you work around them-and then you move on.Of course,some bumps along the road of life are easier to take than others.A rained-out picnic,for example,is easier to deal with than the sudden death of a loved one.But the principle (原理 )is the same.
We're going to miss Mark,just like you'll miss that graduate,that neighbor or that newlywed.But rather than drown ourselves in the sadness of our parting,we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him,and for us.And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen.

A.A rained-out picnic.
B.A terrific neighbor's visit.
C.The sudden death of a loved.
D.The graduation of a family member.
70.In the writer's opinion,one shouldC when unexpected things come up.
A.overcome difficulties and let them in control     
B.do as planned
C.accept them and hope for a better future      
D.never give up until he succeeds.
9.One sixth of undergraduates (本科生) in  Beijing this year have registered at a driving school.The students,mostly from majors such as business management or international trade,will finish there driving courses within 20 days or so.
Training costs have dropped to,2,600yuan for students,according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing.The price is not really low,but students will accept it,seeing it as an investment (投资) in their future.Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job.But a driver's permit has become another factor.
"In the job market,owning a driver's permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student's competitiveness for a good position,"says Zhou Yang,an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law.
Cars will become a necessary part of many people's lives in the coming years,and it's difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people's time."Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive.We senior students have plenty of spare time,plenty of opportunities to learn."
Xu Jian,an official at the driving school,said undergraduates were very able and serious,and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn.In this driving school,middle-aged people,young women and college students are the main customers.
To get a driver's permit,a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours'practice before the final road test.
