Some British and American people like to invite friends and colleagues（同事） for a meal at home. You should not be upset (心烦意乱) if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you.
　　Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present.
　　Do you want to be extra (特别地) polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember—not to ask how much things cost.
　　You’ll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a “starter” , then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert (甜食), followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Some people eat bread with their meal, but not everyone does.
　　Before they take out their cigarettes after the meal, most people usually ask, “Do you mind if I smoke here?”

Jack is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school, he found work in a shop. Usually he works until ten o'clock in the evening. He is very tired when he gets home. After a quick supper he goes to bed and soon falls asleep. His grandma who lives downstairs is pleased with him.
　　One day, on his way home, he met his friend Mary. They were both happy. He asked the girl to his house, and she agreed happily. He bought some fruit and drinks for her. And they talked about their school, teachers, classmates and their future. They talked for a long time.
　　"Have a look at your watch, please," said the girl. "What time is it now?"
　　"Sorry, something is wrong with my watch," said Jack. "Where's yours?"
　　"I left it at home."
　　Jack thought for a moment and found a way. He began to stamp his foot on the floor, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
　　The sound woke his grandma up. The old woman shouted downstairs, "It's twelve o'clock in the night, Jack. Why are you still jumping upstairs?"
( ) 61. Jack was ________ when he finished middle school.

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since(自从) the 18th century(世纪). Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely (完全地) different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life As a result(结果), many stories are about some kind of danger and seem(似乎) to be "bad" news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents(事故).
Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer(更喜欢) to read stories about people, places and events (事件) in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
66. According (根据) the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?
A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place oh foot or by horse.
B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.
C. They watch TV or read newspapers.
D. They listen to the radio every day.
67. The difference(区别) between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that .
A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper
B. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper
C. people can read news stories in other countries
D. people can read news stories about their own country
68. To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Five. D. Six.
69. According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?
A. You often play football with your friends after school.
B. Your teacher has got a cold.
C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught.
D. The bike in the front of your house is lost.
70. Which of the following is Not True of this passage?
A. News stories on the front page of every country are always the same.
B. People like to read interesting and unusual news.
C. Not only TV but also newspapers can help people to learn what is happening around the world.
D. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years.

What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of forty-five. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above forty-five.
