(D)
Our 16-year-old daughter started to smoke last Christmas. It killed me to see that lovely girl with a cigarette(香烟) in her mouth. I told her how I felt. Martha continued to smoke, saying, “It's my life,” and so on. I told her if she didn't stop smoking, I wouldn't send her to college. She agreed to give it up.
Last night there was cigarette smell on Martha's breath. She had to say she had broken her word. Now I must do what I've said to punish(惩罚) her.
Martha is unusually bright and wants to teach children. I'm working full-time to put her older sister through school and would do the same for Martha. My husband's pay is good, but with prices going up all the time we could never educate the girls unless I kept on working.
My theory(理论) is that if smoking is more important to Martha than college, I'm a fool to work to put her through college.
68.Why did the mother feel sad?
A. Because her daughter failed to go to college.
B. Because her daughter tried to kill her.
C. Because her daughter promised to smoke no more.
D. Because her daughter got used to smoking.
69.The mother warned that if Martha didn't give up smoking, she would ______.
A. refuse to give Martha any money
B. not be Martha's mother
C. refuse to pay for Martha's college education
D. not let Martha teach children
70.What did Martha really do after mother warned her?
A. She failed to keep her promise.
B. She kept her promise.
C. She managed to give up smoking.
D. She broke something her mother give her.
71.The mother said that ______.
A. Martha was usually a stupid girl
B. though Martha's father received high pay, it was not enough for their two girls' college education
C. as everything was becoming more and more expensive, the two girls had to work hard to pay for their education
D. she liked Martha's sister but hated Martha
72. The mother thought that ______.
A. she was a foolish woman working hard
B. it was right for her to pull Martha out of college
C. smoking was too bad a habit(习惯) for a young girl
D. Martha would rather lose her life than stop smoking

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

As we all know, life is full of dreams and having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life. Without a good dream, people can’t make progress; without a good dream, countries can’t develop; without a good dream, the world can’t become so beautiful! And I hold the strong belief that everyone, whether he is old or young, poor or rich, junior or senior, does have a good dream! After all, dreaming is certainly a positive part of our life, and wishing for good things, however, costs nothing!

What’s more, it is important to fly our dreams, especially for those who are Senior 3 students. It is high time for them to fly their dreams. If they can’t let out  dreams fly, the dream would just be a dream, not reality!

Therefore, it is no wonder that so many people have a dream since their childhood. With a nice dream, China succeeded to host the 29th Olympic Games in 2008; with a nice dream, Hongkong returned to the motherland peacefully in 1997; with a nice dream, Yuan Longping rids the world of hunger; with a nice dream, Michael Jordon becomes the most popular basketball star; with a nice dream I can stand on this stage to compete in the final English speech contest. And with an aim of achieving success, I must do the best!

So my good friends, if you want to realize your dream, please do not be afraid in face of difficulties or give up in face of failure nor lose your dream in face of pains. You must keep going forward bravely! Just fly your dream highly above the sky!
