As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said.
“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took cardboards folded (折叠的) in half, wrote their names on them with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboards on the desks. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener's name directly.”
“I couldn't understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students get great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance.
( )63.What did Mr Black want the students to do in his class
A.Read loudly. B.Take notes carefully.
C.Be active. D.Listen to him quietly.
( )64.How did the writer behave when he was asked questions in class
A.He raised his hand. B.He shook his head.
C.He closed his eyes. D.He lowered his head.
( )65.How did the speaker get to know the students' names
A.He got them from the computer.
B.He looked at the cardboards on the desks.
C.He asked the students for their names.
D.He got them from the name list on the teacher's desk.

Many working people don't go home during the lunch break. Some go to the restaurant to have lunch. Some buy takeout food as their lunch. But buying takeout food is not just costing us money—there might be a cost in damaging (损坏) our planet, too. Just having a sandwich, crisps and maybe a cake and coffee can produce at least four kinds of waste: disposable (一次性的) boxes, cups, wrappers and straws.
Then how can we solve this problem According to Hubbub, an environmental group, people should be encouraged to eat packed lunches. Tessa Tricks from the group says, “People are saying that they are buying takeout food because life has got busier.” But she argues that it's usually healthier and cheaper to make your own lunch. But if you are too busy to make your own lunch and you are going to buy lunch,Hubbub suggests taking your own lunch box to a restaurant and asking them to put your food in it. The idea of using reusable (可多次使用的) coffee cups for hot drinks and refilling water bottles has already proved successful. A survey in East Anglia (in the UK) showed that offering a 10% price reduction did encourage some customers to come with their own lunch boxes.
If we give our lunchtime eating habits some thought, we can all do our best to help prevent climate change and reduce damage to our environment.
( )66.The first paragraph mainly tells us .
A.why working people don't have lunch at home
B.what people can do to protect our planet
C.where working people have their lunch
D.what problems buying takeout food can cause
( )67.What does Hubbub suggest taking when you buy takeout food
A.Disposable boxes.
B.Reusable coffee cups.
C.Your own lunch box.
D.Disposable water bottles.
( )68.The underlined word “reduction” means “ ” in Chinese.
A.上升 B.浮动
C.减少 D.调整
( )69.Where does the passage may come from
A.An environmental magazine.
B.A guidebook.
C.A cooking magazine.
D.A science book.

Once upon a time, a hippo (河马) lived in a river next to a big tree. One day, a bird came and lived in the tree. The songs of the bird caused such envy (嫉妒) of the hippo that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would complain (抱怨) that he had been born a hippo, although the bird told the hippo many times that he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo decided that he would start singing in the tree. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was clear that the hippo couldn't manage it. He became so angry that he threw his whole body against the tree until it fell down to the ground. Then, he stepped onto the branches of the fallen tree, and began singing. Unluckily, the hippo can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth was terrible noises, and when other animals heard this, they all got together to make fun of the hippo.
He was so embarrassed (尴尬的) by this that he decided to never again complain about being a hippo.
He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He tried all his best to raise the tree back up again, and looked after it until it had completely got well again.

People may have different dreams as they grow older. What do you want to be when you grow up Everyone needs to answer this question.
When I was a little girl, my parents always asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I used to tell them a general, doctor, guard, and many more that I probably don't remember. But now I really know what I want to be. I want to be a fashion designer.
What made me want to be a fashion designer I often watch TV. The fashion shows on TV are fascinating. The tall, thin models wear beautiful clothes and walk beautifully on the stage. So I decided to be a designer and design beautiful clothes for people and make them look even better.
I have all kinds of dolls and I enjoy looking at their colorful clothes. I often change my dolls' clothes. I try to put one doll's clothes on another doll and see how it looks. Sometimes a skirt looks nice on one doll, but doesn't look so good on another.
I also like reading fashion magazines. They are quite expensive, but my parents say they will pay for them if I am really interested in reading them. They want me to learn as much as possible.
For me, I will try my best to make my dream come true. I believe that one day my parents will take pride in what I can do.

One Possible Version:
Wuhu in Anhui is my hometown. Great changes have taken place in my hometown in the past years.
There used to be a lot of low and old houses. But now plenty of high buildings have taken place of them. In the past, the roads were so narrow that they became crowded when some cars were passing by. Now, the roads have been widened. Dirty water was poured and rubbish was thrown everywhere before, which not only made people feel awful but also polluted the environment. However, people have sorted their rubbish into bins and they have known that it's important to protect the environment now. I love the changes in my hometown.
