On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron（围裙）?the one with the race cars all over it． 36 _breakfast Dad always announced: "Go ahead everyone．I'll 37 the dishes!"
I suppose it was 38 for a boy's father to wear an apron? even one with race cars? 39 I never thought much of it until the last Sunday in August．As we 40 home slowly from church together, my father seemed very 41 ．"Tommy," he said letting my name roll off his 42 ．"There comes a time in every boy's 43 when he must take on responsibilities．It's time you 44 a greater role in the family．From now on, I want you to__45__the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle（纵横字谜）together．"
"The dishes!?" I 46 in surprise．
"Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?" father said．
I started to say something about a man's 47 or woman's work, but I knew immediately that my protests（抗议）would be 48 .
I didn't taste a bit of 49 that morning．Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game．
At the end of the meal, my father 50 : "Let's go read the paper, Honey．" "Aren't you doing the dishes?" my 51 asked surprisedly．Father smiled and said, "your oldest son has 52 to fill the position．"
"I want you to have this apron on, Tommy．It'll keep your clothes from getting 53 ．" And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me．"Thanks, Son．Your mother and I 54 this．"
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper．I looked 55 at the dishes．I could see my dad reaching for the dishes．He was always happy to help the family．My anger soon flew off and I began to sing．

How could I turn down an opportunity for a weeklong cruise on a luxury motorsailer in the Andaman Sea? Without a second thought, I packed my bags and jumped on a plane to Singapore, and the following day I found myself looking out the airplane window at the beautiful waters surrounding the island of Langkawi off the coast of Malaysia.
The last time I was in Langkawi was in 2001, when it was relatively quiet. Langkawi has come a long way since then; there are 4, 5, and even 6-star hotels, as well as spas, golfing, horseback riding and even a cable car taking visitors to the highest point on the island.
At the Langkawi International Airport I met my shipmates and we were driven to Pantai Tengah with a quick pit stop for sunblock and duty-free goodies. Many other shopping opportunities abound since Langkawi was designated as a duty-free zone in 1987 to entice tourists to the island.
A luxurious yacht tender picked us up. Phillipe, the first mate, maneuvered the tender between sailboats and as we went around a small island there she was, S/V Blue Gold. This majestic 10-passenger sailboat—all 165 feet of her—had been built in Italy and recently underwent a full retrofit. Once aboard, the crew welcomed us with refreshments and big smiles. Before we got too comfortable and settled into the plush comforts of the boat, Alain, the captain, took us on a tour of Blue Gold’s impressive accommodations. The master suite had a king-size bed, with a lounge area and “his & hers” wardrobes. The VIP cabin had a queen-size bed, also with a lounge area. Both had ensuite bathrooms.
The first evening aboard was the perfect start to our voyage—a small cocktail party followed by a light meal of seared tuna salad. It was exactly what our jet-lagged bodies craved, and we all slept very well aboard what would become our new home for the next 7 days.
In the morning after breakfast, we sailed to Pulau Ta Ngah (also spelled “Pulau Tengah”; pulau means island in Malay). In the 1970s the site had been a Vietnamese refugee transit camp. Not long after the end of the war, the camp was shut down and the island was gazetted as a marine park by the Malaysian government. Officially “uninhabited,” it does boast a golf course, but we were unable to determine if it was still in operation. The most intriguing event on the island occurs in July when the giant leatherback turtles lay their eggs on a beach on Ta Ngah.

It was a painful 100 hours from the moment the earthquake struck until rescuers pulled Liu Deyun from the ruins of a factory yesterday. When he went to work on Monday morning, he had never thought that he would spend the next week in the ruins of his workplace. “It was a miracle(奇迹), but that happened through our hard work,” said Zhao Hongxing, an army doctor who joined in rescue. “His first words were ‘The army is great. ’”
Chinese troops may have been the ones to physically free Mr Liu, 50, but it was his daughter who didn't give up looking for her father that saved his life at last. On Thursday night, running around the fallen factory, the family search party headed by his daughter, heard a low cry. “Father! Father!” Mr Liu answered in a low voice “Yes”. Then, after more than three days buried under the fallen building, came two simple words: “I’m thirsty”. The reply was probably not what he was wanting: “Father don't talk! You need your air! I will go and find somebody to rescue you!”
The entire first floor of the building fell down, with the second floor completely damaged and pushing the building to one side. The 12-hour rescue operation to save Mr Liu was filled with danger. Mr Liu was freed yesterday at 6:28 p. m. His family had agreed to cut off one of his feet so that he could be pulled out. “I just want him to live,” his daughter Yuan, 23, said in tears.
Mr Liu, wrapped in a blanket, was welcomed by a large number of people who was concerned about him. And with the latest survivor taken to a waiting ambulance(急救车), the rescue workers went back to the ruins where two more factory workers were waiting for their turn to be dug out.
67. What day was Mr Liu was saved from the ruins?
A. Monday. B. Tuesday. C. Thursday. D. Friday.
68. His daughter asked him not to talk because______.
A. there wasn't much water to drink B. there was nobody to rescue him
C. he would have difficulty in breathing D. it would be difficult to find him again
69. Liu Deyun said “The army is great” in order to ________.
A. thank the people who helped him out B. show that he can talk
C. encourage them to save more people D. get more help from them
70. From the text, we can know_________.
A. the Chinese troops first found Mr Liu in ruins
B. his daughter played an important part in finding him
C. Mr Liu would be sent back to his home at once
D. Mr Liu could walk out the ruins by himself
