My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s  36   now but it wasn’t that time.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I  37  a rest before catching the train, so I bought a   38  and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long   39  to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to   40  a place and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the   41   seat. It was one of those   42  young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright  43   at the front, not so unusual these days. What did   44  me was he’d started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just    45  down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me    46   . then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly   47  it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a   48    piece , I felt more  49  than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I  50  it.

The boy gave me a   51   look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone    52  . That really made me feel silly, but it was    53   when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I    54    I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my  55   .

"A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker. One percent of all people interviewed said “YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, raising his voice for dramatic effect. "But I can tell you, only a small part of that 1 percent are telling the truth."

I've met colorful people like Wang all over China. They are cynical (玩世不恭的) yet warmhearted, plain spoken but smart. And many of them are confined (局限于) to work in factories.

Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important natural resource. Their energy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of the world's factory.

But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends: "When I grow up I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?

Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life. It's been happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated. Earning 1,200 yuan ($169) per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career. There should be better ways to earn your rice.

Many modern factories no longer have production line workers. Robots do the assembly (装配). People just do the monitoring. In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder, why are people still standing in production lines?

But life is cheap in China. So why not continue to exploit the low-cost labor situation and keep the economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask.

But have these businessmen ever labored in a factory?

61. How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?   

A. One percent                       B. Only a small part

C. Only a small part of that one percent           D. The writer didn’t mention it.  

62. Which is NOT the writer's opinion of factory workers?

   A. cynical     B. unimportant     C. warmhearted       D. plain spoken

63. Wang Hongjun is a person who is___________.   

A. difficult to get along with

B. humorous but serious

C. cynical but warmhearted, plain spoken but smart

D. full of energy but doesn't want to work hard

64. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? 

A. Factory workers make contributions to China's economic boom.

B. Working in a factory is better than that on a farm.

C. Factory workers are satisfied with their living conditions.

D. Some entrepreneurs exploited the low-cost labor situation.

65. The writer uses___________ to begin the passage.  

A. a lot of figures        B. many examples    C. some dialogue      D. the result of a survey

People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shops; they drive wildly up and down the streets. And at times, some of these things are true. But there are also hard  moments in the life of a teenager

A teenager is neither a lovely child, nor a respectable grown-up person. The numbers of his family consider a teenager a source of trouble. He feels that he has grown up. But he is told that he is just a child and he knows nothing. He sees his elders doing what they like. When he _______, the elders tell him that he should do only what he is told to do. To be a teenager means to be everybody’s servant and nobody’s master. Elders in the family and in the neighborhood order a teenager to run errands（跑腿）for them. If he refuses to carry out the orders, he is scolded. He may even be punished. He is criticized for all that he says and does. If he behaves like a child, he is told that he is grown-up and that he should not be childish. If he behaves like a grown-up man, he is told that he is disrespectful(无礼的).

A teenager becomes a lonely creature in the family. Children enjoy all the

love of the elders in the family. The teenagers get no love and no respect. So they often run away from home and find some joy in the company of the other teenagers of their age.

The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learnt to controlled and there are too many rules and regulations for them to obey. Although they teenagers have a miserable time with their family members and elders, they have a very good time with their friends in schools and colleges. So they spend most of their good time and have fun with their friends and classmates rather than with their parents.

In old times, there was a story about a young athletic boy hungry for success, for whom winning was everything.

One day, the boy was preparing himself for a running competition in his small native village. He and two other young boys were to compete. A large crowd had gathered to witness the competition and a wise old man, upon hearing of the little boy, had travelled far to bear witness also.

The race started. Sure enough, the boy dug deep and showed his determination, strength and power. He came first. The crowd cheered and waved at the boy. The wise man remained still and calm. The little boy, however, felt proud and important.

A second race was called, and two new young challengers came forward to run with the little boy. The little boy finished first once again. The crowd again cheered and waved at the boy. The wise man expressed no opinion.

“Another race, another race!” shouted the little boy. The wise old man stepped forward and presented the little boy with two new challengers, a frail (虚弱的) old lady and a blind man. “What is this?” asked the little boy. “Race!” said the wise man. The race was started and the boy was the only finisher. The little boy raised his arms in delight. The crowd, however, was silent showing no happiness. “Why don’t they join in my success?” he asked the wise old man. “Race again,” replied the wise man. “This time, all three of you, finish together,” continued the wise man. The little boy thought a little, stood in the middle of the blind man and the frail old lady, and then took the two challengers by the hand.
