I can see day, but not night. A. by, by B. on, on C. in, in D. at, a——青夏教育精英家教网—

.
Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people? Myself included? Usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
　I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
71.The best title for the passage would be______.
A. Touched by the moon
B. The pleasures of modern life
C. A bottomless well of silence
D. Break away from modern life
72. The writer felt sorry for himself because________.
A. there was too many pollution
B. he failed to see the fullest moon
C. he didn’t adapt to modern inventions
D. there were too accidents on the road
73. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
A. No modern equipment B. Complete silence.
C. The nice moonlight D. The high mountains
74. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.
A. show that the writer likes city life very much
B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature
D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them

　　In department stores and closets all over the world, they are waiting．Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they have a variety of styles, patterns, materials, and colors．But they are eventually the biggest deception(欺骗)that exists in the fashion industry today．What are they? They are high heels(高跟鞋)－a woman’s worst enemy(whether she knows it or not)．Fashion has led women to believe that they are more beautiful or fashionable for wearing heels, but in reality, heels cause troubles．Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to use or buy them in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering．

　　To be fair, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels．First, heels are excellent for aerating(给……通气)lawns(草坪)．Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about．A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies gets rid of all the need to call for a lawn care expert, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all the dirt lying around．Second, heels are quite useful for defending against oncoming enemies by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion items．

　　Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one’s physical health．Talk to any podiatrist(足病医生), and you will hear that most of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women．High heels are known to cause problems such as misshapen feet and torn toenails．The risk of serious back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a high heel wearer than for a flat shoe wearer．Women wearing heels may get a heel caught in a narrow sidewalk gap and be thrown to the ground and possibly break a nose, back, or neck．And of course, after wearing heels for a day, any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her aching feet．

Two good friends, Sam and Jason, met with a car accident on their way home one night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor, Mr Lee was standing by his bed, looking at him with a thoughtful expression. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, Doctor. Thank you for doing the operation.” Mr Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said, “Please don’t tell Jason about it.” “... OK.” Mr Lee replied.

I’m glad you live a happy life. You are always my best friend ... ... Sam”. When he finished reading the letter , Mr Lee said, “I have promised that I will keep this a secret until Sam is gone.
