Once we started giving Charles the  39  shoulder, almost everyone was taking no notice of him.He looked so  40  , especially at lunchtime when he sat alone in the cafeteria.Now and then he nodded and said, “Hey!” when  41  passed his table, but all he got  42  return were mean looks and silence.

At first I was glad my plan had  43  .I only wanted him to know  44  it felt like to be blown off, but I hadn’t thought about how badly my “lesson” would  45  him.

During one lunch period, Charles  46  glanced at his watch, obviously 47   the minutes until he could leave the cafeteria.I suddenly realized I had done wrong.“Hey! Man.I’m terribly sorry.” I called out.“Oh, so you are talking to me now?” he asked.

“What?” he nearly shouted, looking much   50  .

“I’ve left you alone because I thought that was what you wanted.”

China news, Beijing, Feb. 9 – Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate (房地产) market, the International Finance News reported.

       Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.

       The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?

       At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate (控制) the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.

63.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

       A.Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities.

       B.American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese        people.

       C.The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property        developers do when they sell their houses.

       D.There are more people who need houses in China than those in the United States.

64.What is the main idea of this passage?

       A.The Chinese government should do something to control the housing price.

       B.There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.

       C.The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States.

       D.The Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.

65.How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?   

A.Four      B.Three            C.Five         D.Two

66. It can be inferred from the passage that ______

   A. Housing price in China has lowered since 2007.

   B. There will be no bubbles in Chinese real estate after the government raises tax on property industry.

   C. Ordinary Chinese are looking forward to seeing that the high housing prices will be lowered.

D. More ordinary Chinese will buy a house in America instead of in China.
