How would you like an easy way to earn 2,500 dollars? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There’s catch, however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can’t leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.
Two people actually took the job．The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated．His goal was to raise people’s awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．He decided to pay $ 5000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to lie like chicken for a week.
To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.
The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn't stand up without having their heads hit. They ate vegetarian mash（土豆泥）and drank water from a garden tap. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not food the humans.”
Finally it was over, Pam and Eric came out from their cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $ 2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It’s great to be able to stand up,” he said．Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn't want to talk to anyone.
64．What kind of person is Rob Thompson?
A．He is curious about people’s personal life.
B．He is kind-hearted to animals.
C．He hates people around.
D．He likes to help poor people.
65．The underlined word “catch” probably means___________.
A．unsolved problem B．surprising wonder
C．unbelievable danger D．much difficulty
66．What made it most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?
A．They didn't know each other.
B．They couldn't lie down to sleep in the cage.
C．They didn't have meat to eat.
D．They had to do almost everything under others’ eyes.
67．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．Easy Way to Earn $ 2,500. B．Do Not Food the Humans.
C．Living Like a Chicken. D．Getting Along Well Anyway.

D
Dick was a twenty-year-old man. His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun (修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.
One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. He said to the nurse, “I’m a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward (安排一个三等病房) for me, please.”
“Can’t anybody help you?”
“No, madam,” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s nun and she’s poor, too.”
“I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know!”
“Well, then,” Dick said with a smile. “Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill (账单) to my brother-in-law.”
68. Dick’s parents died ______.
A. in an accident B. in the war

C. they were hurt in the earthquake D. they had to look after themselves
71. After Dick finished middle school, ______.
A. he stayed at home B. he began to look for a job
C. he broke his leg D. he began to work in the hotel
72. Which of the following is true?.

At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowed and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes several months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on the Earth in many ways, people will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robot will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
73. According to the passage, by the year 2100, some of us will possibly live ____.
A. on Mars B. on the moon C. under the sea D. in the sun
74. At present, how long will it take us from the Earth to Mars by spaceship?
A. Two or three days. B. A few months. C. A few days. D. A few years.
75. In the future, the students on Mars______.
A. will study mainly through the Internet
B. will study mainly in a classroom
C. will meet each other face to face every day
D. needn't study at all

Dear friends,
We have found out the fact that some middle school students are not kept in good health．But what should we do to improve our physical condition?
First of all, you should get enough sleep．You'd better go to bed and get up regularly．Don't stay up．Secondly, you should take more exercise and do more outdoor activities to strengthen your body．Thirdly, remember to have three meals regularly and eat less non-staple food, which will do good to you．Finally, you'd better form the habit of paying due attention to hygiene．
If school students can do like that, I believe you will be strong and and in good health．
Thank you．
