Surrounded by far - away mountains and nearby downtown buildings, a large open field was
filled with lines of blue and white houses. Several kids were laughing and playing table tennis inside a play room. Some old men were playing Chinese chess and a crowd of women chatting in front of two TV sets.
Two weeks after the deadly earthquake, the first batch of 1,500 people in Dujiangyan, Sichuan
Province, one of the worst earthquake - hit cities, has finally settled into a peaceful life in a newly
built temporary community.
"Compared with tents, these simple houses make us feel more at home. My grandchild can go on with his study here," said an old woman.
These one - floor buildings are totally different from their old homes. Instead of cement and bricks, the houses are made of light- weight steel or foamed plastic(泡沫塑料) and can stand a 7 - magnitude earthquake. Each of the houses, featuring about 20 square meters, serves as a three - person family unit. The units have three beds and electricity. Each has its own postal address.
Communal(公共的) facilities will include showers, toilets and refectories(食堂). It is also planned that there should be one primary school, one hospital and one supermarket for every 1,000 homes. Everything will be free to the residents in possession of their identity cards, and work has already started in looking for jobs for the community.
"More than 1.5 million such makeshift houses will be built in Sichuan, which are expected to be in use for at least three years," said Minister of Housing and Urban - Rural Development Jiang Weixin. The government said over 5.93 million rooms in Sichuan had been leveled in the quake and more than 11 million people, which even outnumber the entire population of some countries such as Norway and New Zealand, became homeless. It is planned that all the victims will be housed by early August, and that they will stay in the temporary houses for between three and five years until permanent homes are built.

Experts believe that there are about 40,000 different types of jobs in the world. Choosing the right one is a difficult job in itself.
"Finding a job" is not the same as "choosing a job". Many young people end up in a job that they are not suited to. "Chance" may play a more important part than "decision". So here are a few steps to help you think about jobs, which you might enjoy doing after school or university.
First, it is important to recognize what kind of person you are and which special qualities make you different from everyone else.
To examine your skills and abilities even further, ask yourself this question: in the following three areas - skills with people, skills with information or skills with things - which are your best skills?
You may have noticed something while you are doing this task. The point is that there is a difference between an interest and a skill. If you like and enjoy looking at pictures, it is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse and not a big dog, that is a skill. The best job is one that uses your skills in something that you are interested in. In addition to this, it is an advantage if you believe that a particular job is worth doing in the world.
After that, the next step is research. To find out as much as possible about different kinds of work, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. Ask your friends about the work they do. If you are interested in banking, it is better to talk to a bank clerk who is twenty - four, rather than a bank manager who is sixty - four. Do not rely on your parents' friends for information. A younger person will be able to describe a normal day at work and tell you about the interesting or boring things when you first start working.
Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.
64. The difference between "finding a job" and "choosing a job" lies in ________.
A. finding a job is a decision while choosing a job is a chance
B. finding a job is more important than choosing a job.
C. a job that you find is one who is more suitable for you than one that you choose
D. a job that you choose is based on your decision and suits you while one that you find often isn't.
65. What is the first step to find a job that suits you well?
A. The first step is to recognize what kind of person you are and which special qualities make you different from everyone else.
B. The first step is to find out as much as possible about different kinds of work.
C. The first step is to ask your friends about the work they do.
D. The first step is to consider your parents' advice.
66. All the things are ways of research about different kinds of work except ________.
A. go to library and refer to books
B. turn to your friends to help
C. turn to your parents' friends for advice
D. talk to a younger person for information
67. If you are interested in banking, you should talk to a bank clerk who is twenty ? four instead of a bank manager who is sixty - four because _________.
A. they will be able to describe a special day at work
B. they are full - time workers and can tell you about the interesting or boring things at work
C. it is easier to find a bank clerk than to find a bank manager
D. they are easier to get along with
D
Several European countries rang in the New Year in new ways.
The smoke -filled cafe became a thing of memory in France. Cigarettes were forbidden in all indoor locations such as dance clubs, restaurants, hotels, casinos (赌场) and cafes from Jan. 1, 2008. President Nicolas Sarkozy gave the first traditional New Year's greeting of his presidency, with a "message of hope, faith in life and in the future".
In Russia, Vladimir Putin delivered the last New Year's Eve address of his eight ? year presidency, boasting of (夸耀) economic improvements and claiming to have restored a sense of unity among Russians, who are likely to see him stay in power as Prime Minister after he steps down in a few months. In Moscow, thousands gathered in Red Square, watching a concert beneath the onion domes (圆顶) of St Basil's Cathedral, and fireworks above.
Along with the innovations, old traditions were maintained.
More than a million people in New York's Times Square cheered at the 100th drop of a giant ball. A century ago the tradition began with a 700 - pound ball of wood and iron, lit with 100 25 - watt bulbs. This year's event featured an energy - efficient ball clothed in Waterford crystals (水晶), with 9,576 light - shining diodes (二极管) that generated a lot of colors.
In London, people gathered in Trafalgar Square and along the banks of the River Thames to watch a firework display and hear Big Ben welcome the New Year with 12 resounding bongs.
In Sydney - one of the first cities to celebrate the New Year - one million people cheered as fireworks were launched from the Harbor Bridge on New Year's Eve.
68. How many countries are mentioned in this passage?

Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
Stay Cool, and Don't Get Burned
Heat causes more pain and injury at theme parks than all the world's roller coasters (过山车) combined. Water is your best friend in helping prevent heat - related illnesses in theme parks. Choose water rather than juice and soft drinks whenever you get thirsty. Put on a waterproof sunsereen before you enter the park. A hat or sunglasses can help, too.
_____________________
On any theme park fide, keep your rear(后部)on the seat, your hands on the grab bar(扶手) and your feet and knees inside the ear. If there is no grab bar, keep your hands on your lap (膝部). If you are riding a "fioorless" coaster, relax your legs. Don't kick them out to the side or front. Do not get on or off a fide until you've been given the okay by an attendant to do so.
Help the Kids
If you are visiting with a child, tell them how they should behave. Meanwhile, parents also know the following rules, too.

★And never put a crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do.
★Let them take plenty of breaks.
"Kids get tired," said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. "Tired kids make parents even more tired. And tired kids and parents get hurt -- physically and emotionally." He advises that parents plan a mid - day break, perhaps a swim baek at the hotel, to avoid mid - day heat and crowds.
"You will see many families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening."
72. The sub - title for the third paragraph should be ________.

D Let a crying child have a good rest and relax themselves.
75. We may infer from Matt Johnson's words that _________.
