A lookalike(相像者) of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un(金正恩) has been shocking people in Hong Kong. The 34-year-old impersonator(假扮者), known as Howard, certainly turned heads when he paraded down the city’s streets, drawing a crowd of passers-by trying to get a photo, but not everyone was fooled by the costume.

“I was surprised and I thought hey, I have seen anywhere before, but that was on German TV, and so I recognized him as a dual. I couldn’t believe that he’s the true one.”

Howard says he transformed himself into the North Korean leader earlier this year after his friends joked about the resemblance（相像）.

“When he came to power, when he was the president of North Korea, then I got a lot of comments that I look like the guy and then you know, we joked back and forth, yeah, maybe I should get dressed up and do some concerts with it. After all, I’m a musician so you know, it’s about the performance.”

Within weeks Howard was in great demand, being flown across the world to film TV commercials and make special appearances, and he hopes the work keeps coming.

“Well, I’m set up for life. What can I say? I mean, Reggie Brown, all these Obama impersonators, they got eight years! I’ve got a lifetime, unless he gets killed, that is. Which could happen, you never know. I’ve heard Kim Jong-nam(金正南) is working something up.”

But if you want the Kim Jong-un lookalike at your party, it will set you back a pretty penny. He now charges the equivalent of 700 US dollars for an appearance.

68. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Howard is a North Korean.    B. Howard is a German.

C. Howard is a South Korean.    D. Howard might be an American.

69. According to the passage,____.

A. all the passers-by think he is Kim Jong-un.   

B. you can invite him to your party free.

C. he might be an impersonator longer than those American president ones

D. he himself is a leader

70. Howard is welcome because he ____.

A. looks like Kim Jong-un       B. is a successful musician

C. is a millionaire              D. works for Kim Jong-un

71. We know from the passage that ____.

A. his friends persuaded him to act Kim Jong-un  

B. now he is glad that he has the appearance

C. Kim Jong-nam will take the place of Kim Jong-un 

D. he will meet with Obama

The ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for 21-century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a client on the phone, scroll through your e-mail, and scan a memo simultaneously? And why simply work out on treadmill (单调的工作) when you could be watching television and talking on a portable phone at the same time? What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment --- three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn “to do” lists into a time-management art form tend to boast (自夸): “Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If I’m this busy, I must be important.”
Yet last week the New York Assembly struck a blow against multitasking, at least behind the wheel, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using handheld cellular phones. Too dangerous, the assembly said, citing research showing that drivers are four times more likely to have a collision when they are talking on a cellphone.
No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a suburban neighborhood. She strides briskly, head down, cellphone clamped to her ear, chattering (喋喋不休) away, oblivious of the birds and flowers and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value?
More than a decade ago, long before multi-tasking became a word in everyday use, a retired professor of theology(神学) in Indiana with whom I corresponded (通信) made a case for what might be called uni-tasking — the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time.
Offering the simplest example, he said, “When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes.” Good advice, I’ve found, whatever the task.
Perhaps, too, the ban on phoning-on-the-road will even spark a move away from other forms of dual activity. Who can tell? It could mark the first step in a welcome reconsideration of what really constitutes productivity and accomplishment.
1. The author thinks that multitasking has become one of the great measures of self-worth because ________.
A. it helps people to use time effectively                   
B. it makes people feel they are important
C. it means the ability to do several things at once     
D. people worship speed and desire
2. The bill approved by the New York Assembly is mentioned in the second paragraph in order to ________.
A. demonstrate the danger of multitasking                
B. show the high efficiency of multitasking
C. introduce the legislation system in America   
D. argue against using time effectively
3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “oblivious” in the third paragraph?
A. serious                     B. absorbed deeply

4. We learn from the passage that uni-tasking is ________.
A. the new fashion for 21-century Americans            
B. accepted by most residents in Indiana

Once upon a time a washer man(洗衣工) had two donkeys（毛驴）. Let’s say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.

Donkey –A felt it was very 36 and could do better than the other. It always tried to 37 more load(担子) and walk fast in front of the washer man.

Innocent(无辜的) Donkey-B was 38, so it would walk normally, regardless of(不管/不顾) the washer man’s preference. 39 a period of time, the washer man started urging Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A.

Donkey-B, unable to walk fast, got continuous 40 from the washer man. It cried and said personally to Donkey-A, “Dear friend, only we two are here, why do we have to 41 with each other? We can carry 42 load at normal speed.

That made Donkey-A more energetic（精力充沛的）and it told the washer man that it could carry more load and 43 faster. The washer man started 44 Donkey-B to make it run faster. During the following days, Donkey-A carried more load and started running even faster.
