This was the first day of Katie Daglish’s new job as the new manager of the Glasgow Underground Lost Property Department．She was really nervous．
There were already hundreds of items in the room, including umbrellas, coats, shopping bags, toys and bears．At 9:30 a．m．, a worker came in with a box full of new lost property（财产）．
Katie heard a mobile phone ring and jumped．She looked over to the box．There were over 20 phones there．She found the phone that was ringing but it stopped just when she picked it up．Ten seconds later, it rang again．
“ Hello．”
“ Hello, who is this?” said a man．It wasn’t easy to hear him．
“ This is Katie Daglish．I work for the Glasgow Underground Lost Property Department．”
“ Do you have my bag?”
“ What does it look like?”
“ It has green and white stripes (条纹)．It says‘Celtic’on both sides．”
“ Let me see．Yes! Yes! I’ve got it．”
“ Great! My sister will come to your office in the afternoon to get it．Thanks．”
Katie gave the address to the man．She hoped it would always be this simple．
At 2p．m．, a lady came into her office．She described the green and white bag and said her cousin had lost it．
“ I thought it was your brother,” said Katie．
“ No, it’s my cousin．” Katie thought that there couldn’t be many bags like this and the man wasn’t easy to hear．He probably said cousin．Katie gave the lady the bag．One hour later, another lady came in．
“ Hello．You spoke to my brother this morning．You have his Celtic bag．He’s so happy because it has ?10,000 in it．He was worried because there are hundreds of Celtic bags in Glasgow．”
“ Ten thousand pounds…” said Katie nervously．She quickly looked in the bag again．She found another Celtic bag with some clothes but nothing else．
Katie told the lady what had happened．She was very angry and called the police．Katie thought she would only have this job for one day．
A policeman came quickly．She told Katie, who didn’t come from Glasgow, that, because Celtic is a popular footba

ll team in Glasgow, many people have green and white bags．Katie was just about to describe the first lady to the policeman when the first lady stepped in．she had looked in the bag and found the money．
　The second lady thanked the first lady and gave her ?500．The policeman told
Katie to be more careful and keep the names of people who took lost property．

So long as teachers fail to distinguish（区别） between teaching and learning , they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves．Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them．It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading．Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”．
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes．They differ in kind and function．The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read．Teaching is also public activity．It can be seen and observed．
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language．Almost all of it is private ,for learning is an occupation of the mind ,and that process is not open to public scrutiny．
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions．“Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children．”
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfil them appropri

ately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated．Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading．
67．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that______．
A．it is one of the most difficult school courses
B．students spend endless hours in reading
C．reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
D．too much time is spent in teaching about reading
68．The teaching of reading will be successful if ________．
A．teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
B．teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
C．teachers can devise the most effcient system for reading
D．teachers can make their teaching activities observable
69．The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”．
A．inquiry
B．observation
C．control
D．suspicion
70．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________．
A．children become highly motivated(激发)
B．teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable
C．teaching helps children in the search for knowledge
D．reading enriches children’s experience
71．The main idea of the passage is that ______．
A．teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
B．teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible
C．reading ability is something acquired rather than taught
D．reading is more complicated that generally believed
E
　Suppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探测仪) to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we should probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．
According to the evolutionary(进化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern if sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory does admit that sleep provides some important restorative functions(功能)．It just says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．
However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it doesn’t protect us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．
The evolution theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do cats, for example, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do

．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their walking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover, they can not afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers．
72．The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________．
　A．the differences between robots and man
　B．the reason why men need to sleep
　C．about the need for robots to save energy
D．about the danger of men working at night
73．Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night mainly to help him ________．
A．keep up a regular pattern of life
B．prevent trouble that comes looking for him
C．avoid danger and make labour inefficient
D．restore his bodily functions
74．Cats sleep much more than horses do, partly because cats _________．
A．need no time for restoration
　B．are unlikely to be attacked
　C．are more active than horses when they are awake
D．spend less time eating to get enough energy
75．Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A．Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping andwaking
　B．The study of sleep is an important part of the evolution theory
　C．Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots
D．The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats

Dear Mary,
How are things going with you? Now I am glad to tell you the great changes that have taken place in my hometown in the past few years.
My hometown is a small city lying in North China. Since the party’s open and reform policy, it has changed a lot. First, more tall buildings have appeared, which are modern and beautiful. Many overpasses have been set up, so it is very convenient for people to travel. Besides, more and more people have their own cars. To my delight, I can taste different kinds of delicious food from foreign countries. The great changes even attract many visitors from different places. Also, now it is easier for me to keep in touch with you, for I can e-mail you in any of the Internet bars here. All in all, I am so excited to see the changes and I believe the people’s life in the future will be much richer and happier.
I must stop here. Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
