If there’s one memory Anna wanted to keep from her experiences during the Second World War, it was her son, Andrzej. Anna, 89, lost touch with him when she was forced to leave her native Poland and sent to a labor camp in Austria more than 60 years ago. Now, 64, Andrzej hugged his mother at the air port, who had been waiting for him.

　　　 Andrzej searched for his mother for more than 50 years, almost giving up. But his mother made the first phone call. Unluckily, he wrote down his mother’s phone number wrong and spent another month trying to reach her again. When he did, the two talked regularly on the phone for two months to break down the language barrier. Anna can hardly speak Polish over the years and Andrzej doesn’t speak English.

　　　 After the war, Anna could not find her son and went to Italy, finally ending up in Great Britain, the US, then Canada 45 years ago. She used the Internet to track her son, making phone calls with no luck. Meanwhile Andrzej contacted the Polish Red Cross last year to help in his search.

　　　 At last, they locate each other at the same time. Andrzej will spend a month with his mother in Britain.

72. Andrzej was about _______ years old when his mother left him for Austria 60 years ago.

A. eight　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

B. six　　　　　　　　　

C. four　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　

D. two

A. he had to learn English first

D. he just couldn’t believe the news at first

75. The best title for the passage would be ________

Taking children to school on time doesn’t have to be a battle against the clock. Here are some rules for you to follow.

　　　 Lay out children’s clean clothes the night before. Who wants to be looking through unsorted clothes for three pairs of matching socks at 8:00am? Just have the clothes you know they will wear and the food they like ready and waiting. It makes life easier when you can’t spare the time in the morning.

　　　 Allow time for yourself. Whether it’s a hot shower, a cup of coffee or five minutes’ peace, leave yourself enough time. This doesn’t include “Just five more minutes” in bed, which will often turn into oversleeping followed by mayhem.

　　　 Stick to a routine. Make sure your children know what you expect from them every morning and stick to that routine, whether it’s that they should be fully dressed before breakfast or that they should brush their teeth straight afterwards. My personal top tip for the easiest way to a pain-free morning is no TV the night before.

　　　 Keep calm. If the bus is late or you have forgotten where you parked the car, or if you are late, don’t get angry and blame the children. Every one has such a bad morning. But if your children are often late for school, it’s up to you to start a more organized morning routine.

68. The passage is mainly intended for __________.

A. parents　　　　　　　　　　

B. teachers　　　　　　　　　

C. students　　　　　　　　　

D. early birds

69. The underlined word “mayhem” is closest in meaning to __________

A. the bad habit　　　　　　

B. the sleeping hour　　　

C. some preparation　　　

D. some trouble

70. What’s the author’s first choice to have a pain-free morning?

A. Have clothes ready in advance.

B. Allow enough time for peace.

C. Get dressed before breakfast.

D. Don’t watch TV the night before

71. How many rules are mentioned for your reference in the passage?

A. Five B. Four　　　　　　　　　　　

C. Three　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Two

Living in a modern society with more and more out-of-date but still useful computers, many people have to face such a troubling problem: How to deal with those old computers? Some old ones are put away in homes. Many more are just thrown out with the rubbish.
　 Don’t worry! Some companies are coming up with new ways to cut the number of old computers. Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now agree to take back some old computers.
　 In some countries, there are laws about what to do with old computers. By law, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.
　 While many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations（组织）are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers before sending them to schools, charities（慈善团体）and people who need them. In this way, we can turn one person's rubbish into someone else's useful things-and cut down on waste.
