3.Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly.Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour,aircraft cross the world a day,while computers operate at lightning speed.Indeed,this love of speed seems never-ending.Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time,but at a price.When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane,our bodies tell us so.We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone.Again,spending too long at computer results in painful wrists and fingers.Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains,a consequence we do not like to think about.
However,what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems.We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing,or even just one thing at a time.Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio,letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle.No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace,and in a familiar pattern.There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this.Yet before we do so,we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands,often lived close to hunger,and had to fashion tools from wood and stone.Modem machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

68.The new products become more and more time-saving becauseA.
A.our love of speed seems never-ending.
B.time is limited.
C.the prices are increasingly high.
D.the manufacturers boast a lot.

A.Imaginary life.
B.Simple life in the past.
C.Times of inventions.
D.Time for constant activity.
70.What is the author's attitude towards the modem technology?B
A.Critical         B.Objective.
C.Optimistic      D.Negative.
71.What does the passage mainly discuss?D
A.The present and pad times.
B.Machinery and human beings.
C.Imaginations and inventions.
D.Modern technology and its influence.
4.The Most Fantastic Staircases in the World
Infinity and beyond
The architecture of the staircase combines form and function,upper and lower space.It can represent power or status,or symbolize spiritual uplift and the climb to knowledge.A new book published by Thames&Hudson,The Staircase:The Architecture of Ascent explores the history and meaning of the staircase,from the simple,straight-fight steps of the Mayan pyramids,to the spiral ramp(螺旋型坡道)of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum and the computer-aided designs of today.
The steps of the Toltec-Maya pyramid at Chichen Itza is the ancestor of all stair design.Appearing to stretch up to the sky,this style of staircase came to symbolize a rise to heaven and infinity,and has captured artists'imaginations.
Let there be light
The"lantern"at the dome(圆顶屋)of a staircase is an important design feature----allowing the light to stream in.The view shown here of the lantern of the Chateau of Chambord in the Loire,France,shows the flat ceiling decorated with coffering(方格天花板).The Chateau marks a high point in the development of the staircase,reflecting the Renaissance(文艺复兴) architects'liking for the spiral structure around an open space.
High and mighty
The spirit of the Baroque(巴洛克)appears in the monumental staircase of the Palazzo Canossa in Mantua,Lombardy,Italy,built in the 1600s for the Gonzagafamily,who ruled that part of northern Italy from the14th to the 18th centuries.The figures that greet the visitor on the landing include two large dogs,symbolizing the powerful family.
High drama
The palaces of Germany and Austria showGerman Baroque at its most dramatic and rich.At the Würzburg Residenz,the ceiling is covered in a painting by Venetian artist Giambattista Tiepolo describing the four comers of the earth above the great staircase.

1.Recently,my teenage son give me a great insight into my writing career.He plays the online multiplayer game Minecraft,in which players build vast structures while battling the occational zombie at night.
"How do you win the game?"I asked him.
He rolled his eyes,the way only teens can.

So here's to a writing journey for all of us that's full of splendid sights,unexpected turns,wonderful friends,and opportunities to grow.
As we enter the new year,I'm going to try to remember my writing-career focus-the places I want to be sure to visit on my way.Most of all,I'm going to work on setting free my feelings of"falling behind"or not being"there"yet,and try to enjoy every moment of my wonderful writer's life.

     Near the end of the nineteenth century,companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as"advertising agencies(广告商)."The agencies developed new ways to get  people to think of themselves as members of a group.Throughout the twentieth century,advertising agencies promoted consumerism(消费主义)as a way of life,spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the"righ"products.

2.American cities are similar to other cities around the world:In every country,cities reflect the values of the culture.American cities are changing,just as American society is changing.
After World WarⅡ,the population of most large American cities decreased; however,the population shifts(转移)to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society.In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city residents(居民)became wealthier.They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes.They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区).
Now things are changing,The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults.Many,unlike their parents,want to live in the cities.They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest.Many young professionals are moving back into the city.They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits.Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent.In the 1950s,many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago,people thought that the older American cities were dying.Some city residents now see a bright,new future.Others see only problems and conflicts.One thing is sure:many dying cities are alive again.

64.What does the author think of cities all over the world?C
A.They are alive.
B.They are hopeless.
C.They are similar.
D.They are different.
65.Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World WarⅡ?
B
A.Because older American cities were dying.
B.Because they were richer and needed more space.
C.Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D.Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
66.According to the 4th paragraph,a great many poor people in American citiesA
A.are faced with housing problems
B.are forced to move to the suburbs
C.want to sell their buildings
D.need more money for daily expenses
67.We can conclude from the text thatB
