Cycling every day helps people build healthier hearts and stronger muscles（肌肉）. Scientists say a 30-minute ride every day can help you lose weight.
Today, bicycles also are popular with city planners. They see bicycles as a good way to reduce heavy traffic. Unlike bused, bicycles produce no exhaust（尾气）and don’t burn energy. Many countries are encouraging more daily use of bicycles.

How can international trade be improved People from poor countries will meet with those from richer countries in Hong Kong this week to study the question. The meeting, the Sixth World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference, will be held from December 13 to 18.
Poor countries say that the WTO’s international trade rules are not fair. The rules allow rich countries, like the US and those of the EU, to give money, or subsidies（津贴）, to their farmers. With the subsidies, farmers are able to sell their cotton at lower prices.
As a result, world prices go down. Farmers in poor countries that don’t have subsidies get less money and even lose their livelihoods.
Since China joined the WTO in 2001, for example, lots of subsidized US cotton has been sold in the country. Cotton prices fell from about 6 yuan to less than 4 per kg in 2001 and 2002.
Every, rich counties support their farmers with more than US$300 billion. During the coming Hong Kong meeting, poorer nations will ask the rich nations to get rid of the subsidies.
Zhang Xiangchen, a senior official from China’s Ministry of Commerce, said China believes that rich countries should end their subsidies by 2010.
68. What problem will the Hong Kong meeting try to solve
A) Air pollution B) International trade
C) Agricultural modernization D) Global tourism
69. The meeting will last (持续) .
A) until 2010 B) 5 years C) about one week D) one year
70. Who might the meeting benefit (有利于)
A) Farmers in rich countries. B) Only farmers in China.
C) Farmers all over the world. D) Farmers in poorer countries.
71.Why are the WTO’s international trade rules considered unfair Because they .
allow rich countries to give money to farmers and bring down the price of cotton.
don’t allow poor countries to give money to their farmers.
set low prices all over the world.
Don’t allow cotton to be sold at high price.
72. According to the official, China believes rich countries .
will never stop supporting their farmers.
should stop giving money to their farmers in a few years.
don’t need to stop giving money to farmers.
shouldn’t stop giving money to farmers.
73. We can know from the story that
the price is fair.
international rules are never fair for poor countries.
there’s too much cotton in the world now.
farmers in poorer countries are losing money.
(C) Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）:
Secondhand shops in Britain
In every British town, large or small, you will find shops that sell secondhand goods, sometimes even clothes.
The furniture may often be very old, and it may have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable although the most valuable pieces will usually go to the London sales rooms, where one piece might be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The books, too, may be old and very valuable; some may be rare（稀有的）first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move to a new place, his books may all be sold, so sometimes you may find that some people who work in libraries come to this kind of shop. On the border （边界）between England and Wales, there is town which was once only a sheep market, but which has now become a huge bookshop as well. And now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main business.
The British treasure（珍爱） the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down. They are repaired until they are often better than the new ones.
In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.
74. What is a secondhand shop in Britain
It is the shop which ____________________________.
75. What things are often sold in British secondhand shops

76. How much might one valuable piece be sold in the London salesrooms

One evening he met a friend of his in the street. The man asked him to have dinner in a restaurant. He was glad and drank a lot. When they left there at midnight, he couldn’t stand.

Thank you for coming to this meeting for students who will stay at school during the winter holidays. It is my duty to tell you what to do and to have you fill out forms giving the dates you will be at school. To cut down the cost, Buller Hall will be the only house for you to stay at. All the other houses will close at 5 p. m., on Friday, February 7, and will not re-open until 6 p. m., on February 16. Once we have your forms, we will offer you a room in Buller Hall. Please move all the things you will need to your new room by the 7th as it will not be possible to re-open the other houses during these days, once they have been closed. Some places of our school will be closed during the holidays. They are the labs, the school store and the dancing hall. The library and the computer center will be open, though at a shorter service time. Only the post office and most school offices will keep their usual hours. Of course, you don't have to worry about your meals. Since I imagine most of you are staying here to prepare the new lessons for next term, let me wish you good luck with your work. If you have any special problems, please call me at my office before February 3.
