When I was a boy，we had a television set.The program I liked best was The Jetsons.It was a cartoon series set in a future that was full of fantastic machines that could do anything.I always dreamed of a day when I would have machines like this to do all my work，so I could just sit back and relax.
Now my life is full of machines like these，but I seem to have more to do than ever.Just today I had to spend most of the morning downloading a new version（版本）of my word processing program so I could write this article.When I first started out，I wrote my stories on lined notebook paper，and it took half the time.Last week，I spent most of another morning trying to get my new coffee maker to work right.I seem to be drowning in a sea of new rules and problems that come with new technology.
Now don't get me puters and machines have done a lot to help all of us.I just want us to be able to use them without them using us.We always seem to be busy because we're spending all of our time using these machines.
I hope that in the future，machines can be more user-friendly，so we don't spend all our time on them.With machines we can live an easier life，but they can never replace time spent will family and friends.

Jeff smiled，"Some sat because of your efforts（努力）.Others wouldn't sit even after you tried to make them sit.And then later you would find that some of them sat themselves wasting time."

A person called me while I was busy writing yesterday. "I'm reading your book， "he said. "There's a typo （打印错误） on Page 383."
"Thanks，but you don't need to tell me about it，" I said politely.
He was quite surprised.He expected me to write down the information and then have a talk with him.Instead，I simply thanked him for calling and ended it.
I have got many calls like this in the past 25 years.I knew they wanted to be kind to me.But that kindness often lost the primary meaning.Most of the time，people hoped that I'd become friends with them or I could follow the free advice happily.The typo could set up a relationship between us.
This was where they went wrong.They wanted to have a relationship with me，but they didn't really understand me.
I'm a busy writer.I've written 60 books，over 12，000 pages.No one is going to print my early books again，so there's nothing I can do about the typo.Also，I have lots of important tasks to finish.
So，a better way to begin a talk with me might be as follows：
"Hi，Bon.I'm reading your book.There's one thing in it that I'd like to discuss with you.It'll take you a few minutes.Do you have free time now？"
This works beautifully in daily life.If you want to set up a relationship with someone，you need to know what he thinks，needs and fears.In other words，you have to，as the old saying goes， "Put yourself in the other person's shoes."
65. Why did the writer end the person's call so quickly？
A. Because the writer was impolite to others all the time.
B. Because the writer didn't like him because of his mistakes.
C. Because the writer didn't have any free time to talk with him.
D. Because the writer thought the person didn't really understand him.
66. What does the underlined word "briefly" mean in Chinese？
A. 简略地 B. 缓慢地 C. 便捷地 D. 详尽地
67. Which of the following may be the best way to start a talk with the writer？
A. "Do you know Sandy，one of your readers？She ..."
B. "We have a new book on sale.It's amazing.The price ..."
C. "I'm one of your neighbors.There's a meeting in our community…"
D. "I'd like to talk about your new book.Is this a bad time for you？"
68. What's the best title for the passage？
A. How to choose friends from strangers
B. How to say sorry to your friends
C. How to set up a relationship with others
D. How to show thanks to people properly

In the morning，you're on the school bus.But as soon as you turn a corner，you'll find yourself at the end of a very long queue（队），it's another traffic jam!Meanwhile，in Antarctica（南极洲），snow covers the land.A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm using stop-and-go movements to protect themselves from the winds.Can you see the connection？
Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm，according to a new research.A penguin only needs to move 2 cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing.These movements then flow（涌动）through the whole group of penguins like a "traveling wave（波浪） ".
These waves also help the smaller crowds join bigger groups，keeping more and more of their friends warm.A single Antarctica "traffic jam" has thousands of penguins.Interestingly，the technology once used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins.It included studying time-lapse（延时）videos.Scientists also discovered that's unlike on the road，these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction.
With temperatures usually dropping 50 degrees below zero and winds reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h，these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm.
These penguins can also teach us a lesson.In a big group，they learn to be orderly and patient，and never to crash into each other.These are skills that we should all learn from them when we are on the road!
69. According to the passage，emperor penguins get together to ______ .
A. cross the road B. keep warm
C. learn from each other
70. In a traffic jam on the road， ______ .
A. cars cannot move fast
B. drivers can drive carelessly
C. drivers can drive fast
71. From the passage，we learn that a "traveling wave " is ______ .
A. formed by the movement of penguins
B. caused by the strong winds in Antarctica
C. caused by a traffic jam on the road
72. The last paragraph wants to tell ______ .
A. penguins won't move together if they are not very cold
B. traffic jams happen probably because people are patient
C. we human beings should learn from penguins

81.Dear friends,
The environmental problems are getting more and more serious nowadays. As students, we should do something to protect the environment.
First, it's very important to save water and energy in our daily life. Don't forget to turn off the lights when we leave the room. Second, we are supposed to reuse the plastic bags when shopping. What's more, we shouldn't throw rubbish everywhere. Third, we'd better walk, ride a bike or take the bus when we go out. Last but not least, we need to plant more trees and flowers to make the environment more beautiful.
How important it is for us to protect the environment! If we keep doing these things, I believe we will live a better life. Let's take action from now on.
