(A)
Each nation has many people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the U.S.A. often spend many hours as volunteers in the hospitals, orphanages (孤儿院) or rest homes. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow (割，修剪) their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and some other men take these boys to baseball games or fishing trips and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games. Some of these clubs show films or organize short trips to the mountains or some places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to know the problems and needs of young boys and girls.
Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

It is said that as the population of a city grows, so do its problems. Pollution, too many cars, and crowded streets are just a few of the problems. One way to deal with these problems is city trains. Traveling to different parts of a city by train means fewer cars and buses on our roads, cleaner air and more open streets. In recent years, cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai have all built city train lines.
The first city train line in China was built in Beijing. The oldest part of the train line, from Beijing Zhan to Ping Guo Yuan was opened in 1969. Its length was 23.6 kilometers. With the development of the city after 1980, more trains are needed. A new train line was built to help move people around the city center. The 16-kilometer-long “circle line” was finished in 1987. Since that time even more train stations have been built and today the train lines in the city are over 50 kilometers long.
For the 2008 Olympic Games, the trains of Beijing was very important. Most of the people who went to watch the different sports games during the Olympic Games traveled by train.

A. the problems in big cities B. city trains
C. the history of Beijing D.2008 Olympic Games
( )67.How long was the first train line in Beijing?
A. About 16 kms. B. About 23 kms.
C. About 33 kms. D. About 50 kms.
( )68.In 1977, which of the following places in Beijing could you go to by train?
A. Chao Yang Men. B. An Ding Men.
C. Che Gong Zhuang. D. He Ping Men.
( )69.When was the 16-kilometer-long “circle line” finished in Beijing?
A. In 1969. B. In 1980. C. In 1987. D. In 2008.
( )70.Which of the following is true?
A. In 2008, the Beijing train line was nearly 40 years old.

Boys and girls，
It’s my honor to come here to share my opinions of learning English with you. I began to learn English when I was ten. At that time I knew nothing about English. But now I enjoy English very much. I like it not only because it’s useful, but also because I have a lot of fun in learning it. I often take part in the English corner, and follow the English tapes to practice spoken English. Morning is the best time to remember words. Keeping a diary in English every day is a good way to improve my writing.
That’s all. Thank you.
