I always say that Chinese New Year is a time for the three Fs：family，friends and fireworks．The first two I don't have a problem with （naturally）．But the third one is more dangerous sometimes．I'd like to give you some advice about how to protect ourselves against fireworks．
Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The programme works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．
3．Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school．But this story is one （16）C that I will never forget．
It was a normal Monday morning，and my teacher was teaching us about （17）Athings in life and about devoting ourselves to what we really need．This is how the story went：
（18）B lived in a certain part of London，and he would wake up every morning and go to the underground．He would get onto the train right to Central London，and then sit at the street corner and （19）D．He would do this every single day of his life．He sat at（20）Cstreet corner and begged for almost 20years．
His （21）A was dirty，and a stench （恶臭） came out．The neighbours could not bear theA（22）Aany more，so they called for the police officers to clear the place．The officers knocked down the door and （23）Bthe house．There were small bags of（23）Ball over the house that he had collected over the years．
The police counted the money，and they soon （25）Cthat the old man was a millionaire．They waited outside his house expecting to （26）Bthe good news with him．When the old man arrived home that evening，one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a （27）Aman now，a millionaire．
But the old man said （28）C；he went into his house and locked the door．The next morning he woke up（29）D，went to the underground，sat at the same street corner and continued to beg．
Clearly，this old man had no great plans，（30）D or anything significant （重大的） for his life．We learn nothing from this story but to stay focused on the things we enjoy doing．

2．阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后62-71小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．每空一词．
Maybe you are a common student．You probably think you will never be a top student．This is not necessarily so，however．Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to．Here's how．
Plan your time carefully．When you plan your week，you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list，you should make a plan of your time．Don't forget to spare enough time for entertainment．A weekly plan may not solve all your problems，but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time．
Find a good place to study．Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials．No games，radios，or television!When you sit down to study，focus on the subject．
Make good use of your time in class．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say．Really listening in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says．
Study regularly．When you get home from school，go over your notes．Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class．If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read that material．This will help you understand the next class．If you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you will remember it longer．
Develop a good attitude（态度）about tests．The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．They help you remember your new knowledge．The world won't end if you don't pass a test，so don't be too worried．
There are other methods that might help you with your studying．You will probably discover many others after you have tried these．
