5.Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress,the head of the world's largest automaker wasn't leaving his problems behind.
Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York.The company is now being investigated.Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled.The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses.
Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits.A new hearing will be conducted.And the cost to Toyota's reputation is only now starting.
Despite back-to-back hearings this  week,left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden,unintended accelerations will be fixed.
Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock,but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle's electronic systems.
Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference(油门踏板故障)or sticky gas pedals(刹车).Outside experts have suggested electronic problems.
House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda,the grandson of the company's founder.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)is seeking records on Toyota's recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults.NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model.
Toyota has recalled 8.5million cars,more than 6million of them in the United States.
It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars.
Toyota's January sales already fell 16percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year's bad results.Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales,due out next week,to be down 30percent to 40.Toyota's sales problem could continue beyond that.
It will take some time to feel the full effect of this,he said.

66.The best title for this passage isA.
A.Toyota is in trouble    B.Toyota is under hearing
C.Toyota is finished      D.Toyota is still running
67.What is the purpose of the hearing?D
A.America hopes that Toyota apologizes to the US customers.
B.America wants to get Toyota out of the US market.
C.America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty.
D.America hopes that Toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem.
68.What can we infer from the passage?B
A.Toyota provides very good post sale service.
B.Toyota's biggest market is in the United States.
C.Toyota will be closed soon.
D.Toyota's dealership in the US will all be closed.

expenses?A
A.It tries to avoid the maximum damages to the company.
B.It is big company and has means to fix every problem.

D.It's a way to compete in auto market.

15.How did the sea horse get its name?It's not hard to guess.The top half of this fish looks like a small horse.But looking at the sea horse's tail,you might think"sea monkey"is a better name.Then there's the sea horse's pouch (育儿袋)."Sea kangaroo"might also be a good name for this fish.
    Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world.They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea.They can also change colors to match their surroundings.A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant.It feeds on live food,such as small shrimp.For a fish that doesn't move around much,the sea horse eats a lot-in just one day,a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimp!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life,and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses.How does this happen?Baby sea horses start out as eggs,which come from the female's body.The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch.Soon after the babies are born,the female gives her mate a new set of eggs.
    Sadly,the number of sea horses is becoming smaller.Why is this happening?Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land.Also,many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish.This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums.The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.

13.When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves,many put friends ahead of homes,jobs,cloth and cars.
A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you'll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don't want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First,don't let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.second,apologize when you're wrong-even if you've been wronged.Over the course of a friendship,even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes,it may be best if the wronged persontakes the lead and apologizes.When you apologize,give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong.Third,see things from your friend's point of view.And finally,accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change.Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.
