My topic is Fashion(时装), and to make my talk more lively, I have brought along five objects. Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms. When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is my most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over $600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better quality. So, you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admit it.

However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary was not interested in the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big market, searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expenses of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.

 We must, however, remember that changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have brought this blonde wig (假发)to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.

60. What is the author doing at the moment? The author is ___.

A. selling some fashionable clothes.                  B. buying the coolest school uniforms

C. making a speech to the audience                   D. traveling to London

61. In the author’s opinion, fashion ___.

   A. is sometimes valuable for all of us           B. is a waste of time and money

C. is not good for the students             D. can cause many workers to lose their jobs.

62. According to the author, ___.

A.    The more money you spent, the worse the clothes would be.

B.     The lower the price is , the better the goods are.

C.     The less money you pay, the better clothes you get

D.    Something that has a higher price may has a better quality. 

63. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.    Wigs were always popular in the past.

B.     People in the east once like wearing blonde wigs.

C.     Fashion is actually a business.

D.    Business often depends on the production of wigs.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”

Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

68. “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son ______.

      A. is always busy with his studies   

      B. doesn’t want to be disturbed

      C. keeps himself away from his parents 

      D. begins to dislike his parents

69. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that ______.

      A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before

      B. they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

      C. they don’t know what to say to their daughter

      D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

70. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?

      A. Teenagers talk little with their friends.

      B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.

      C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.

      D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.

71. What can be learned from the passage?

      A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.

      B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.

      C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.

      D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

If you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!”
  These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test the “Learn while you sleep” method, which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is among them.
  Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day---and this does not affect (影响) his rest in any way. However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.
  In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours ― from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o’clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.
 72. By the “Learn while you sleep” method, one____ .
  A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep   

B. learns how to sleep better
  C. is made to remember his lesson in sleep

D. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed
 73. In the experiment, lessons were given____ .
  A. in the night time                             B. after lullabies were broadcast
  C. while the student was awake                       D. all through the twelve hours
 74. Before each lesson finishes, the student has to____ .
  A. get up and take breakfast                        B. be woken up by a loud voice
  C. listen to the lesson again in sleep          D. review (复习) the lesson by himself
 75. The sleep study method is being tried in many countries to teach____ .
  A. the English language                       B. grammar and vocabulary
  C. a number of subjects                      D. foreign languages
