Love, success, happiness, family and freedom----how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.
Question: Could you introduce yourself first?
Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I’m a web designer.
Q: What are your great memories?
A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.
Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?
A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.
Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?
A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.
Q: How do your get along with your parents?
A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤)out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.

Car companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets，just like many laptops，digital cameras，cell phones and Mp4 do.Called“plug-in vehicles”，these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers won't have to stop at gas stations as often as usual.
The technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world，plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use，which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides，driving around in these vehicles may even help the environment.Gas-burning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas，which causes globe warming.
The first company-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by 2010. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.
Batteries(电池) are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-vehicle world，Li-ion(锂离子)batteries are getting the most attention.These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package，and they last a longer time between charges.Li-ion batteries can fit laptops，cell phones，heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.
But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion batteries to power about 12km of driving.What's more，the batteries are much expensive.
“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance，”says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago.“But it couldn't pull any people.and it would cost $100,000.”
So researchers need to work out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper，among other questions.
“The answers don't exist yet，”Bohn says，“As a kid，I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything.All of these questions haven't been decided.That's what engineering is about-making a guess，running tests and getting fine results.”
64.The passage mainly talks about of a new car
A.the developing B.the speed C.the appearance D.the batteries
65.Which is true according to the passage?
A.The“plug-in vehicles”will use electricity completely as driving power.
B.The new technology will help protect our environment.
C.The technology of using electricity as driving is quite practical now.
D.The biggest challenge of the new technology is that it will cost us more energy.
66.How does Bohn feel about the future of the technology according to the last paragraph?
A.Confident B.Puzzled. C.Worried. D.Disappointed.
67.According to the passage，the new technology is facing the following problems except that .
A.the new technology cannot come into use at present
B.the cost of the new technology is quite high
C.the government won't support the technology
D. the size of the batteries is too big at present

Residents along Australia’s east coast awoke in the morning to an orange sky as winds swept millions of tons of red dust from the country’s inland and dumped it on Sydney.
Tanya Ferguson，living in Sydney，saw that the room was completely orange.She thought there was a bush fire.But when she went outside，the entire city was covered in a film of orange dust.
“It was like being in the outback(澳大利亚内陆)，but it was right here in the city，”she said On that day，a big dust storm swept through Sydney.It covered the city in orange dust for about eight hours，making landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge invisible.
The storm affected the transportation system.Flights were delayed.Roads were busy as drivers struggled in the difficult conditions.Children and the elderly were told to stay indoors until the dust had cleared.Later strong winds blew it out to the sea and up the coast.
No one was hurt in the storm，though health officials answered hundreds of calls from
people with breathing difficulties.Emergency services responded to hundreds of calls about
tree branches brought down by strong winds.
Dust storms are common in the Australian outback，where the land is arid(贫瘠的).But the storms rarely reach the coastal regions.
Officials said it was the worst dust storm of the past 70 years.Air pollution levels were
15，500 micrograms of pollutants per cubic meter.
“On a clear day the pollutants are around 10—20 micrograms per cubic meter，”said Chris
Eiser of the NSW department of the environment.
Experts said that dry conditions in the outback and strong winds caused the sandstorm.
“Ten very dry years over inland southern Australia and very strong winds have combined to produce the storm，”said Nigel Tapper，an environmental scientist at Monash University， Australia.
68.The article is about .
A.the causes of the major dust storm in Australian cities
B.different reactions to a dust storm in Australia
C.the damage caused by the big dust storm in Australia
D.the worst dust storm in Australia in the past 70 years
69.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The dust storm didn’t blow up to the coastal regions of Australia.
B.The level of air pollution was very high due to the dust storm.
C.People called the emergency service because they had got lost.
D.Children stayed indoors for the schooling had been cancelled.
70.From the passage we can see that .
A.Tanya Ferguson lives in the Australian outback at the moment
B.a bush fire may have brought the orange dust along the coast
C.this terrible sandstorm lasted about 24 hours after it hit the city
D.Sydney’s landmarks were out of sight when the storm happened

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。注意：每空1个单词。
Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs; the need to protect patients from brutal news, to uphold a promise of secrecy or to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients’ own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them of risks destroys their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide.
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness; help them tolerate pain better with less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.
There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception. Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”
Title: 71 Or Not
Different 72 •Most doctors are in 73 of lying for the patients’ own sake.
•A great majority of patients 74 on being told the truth.
Reasons for 75 lying to patients •Informing patients of the truth about their condition destroys their hope, 76 to recovering more slowly, or deteriorating faster, perhaps even 77 themselves.
Reasons 78
lying to patients •The truthful information helps patients to 79 their illness, help them tolerate pain better with less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.
•Most patients feel 80 when they learn that they have been misled.

M： Thank you, and we want to buy anew television.
W： What kind of television do you want to buy?
M： A colour TV, of course, but I’m not sure about the size. Maybe we should buy a bigger one. If we buy a smaller one, we might have to change it in a few years’ time for a bigger one. That would be a waste of money. What is your opinion?
W： In my opinion, I don’t think it’s necessary to buy a very big one.
M： Any reason?
W： Yes. As I know, your sitting room isn’t big enough. If you put in a very big television, that will be bad for your eyes, and a smaller size TV can also pick up good programs.

W： But my friends will have jobs and have a lot of fun while I spend all my time doing reading and writing.
M： But if you go to university, you still have time for fun.
W： What you say makes sense. I’ll think it over. Thank you for the advice.
Anyway, whichever way it chooses, it should serve the basic purpose of the programs—to reach a large audience and entertain us.
