And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near the Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that days coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council（市政会）.The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess La Riviere named the bridge Nutty Narrows. After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum (铝) and lengths of fire hose (消防水带). It cost $1,000.It didnt take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.56.

It was built from wood and metalC. it was rebuilt after years of use D. It was designed by Bill Hutch.60. What can we learn about Amos Peters?A. He is remembered for his love of animals.B. He donated $l, 000 to build the bridgeC. He was a member of the City Council D.

At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 61. In this passage, the author wants to tell _.A. teenagers to try to pursue their real selvesB. readers to try to be popular with people aroundC. parents to try to control and guide their childrenD. people to try to understand and respect each other62. The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _.A. growing away from their parents B. following the popularity trend C. walking a new way on their own D. turning to their friends for help63. The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _.A. the distractive and variable society B. the dazzling music worldC. the parental care and love D. the popularity wave in the society 64. What does the author think of advertisements?A. Convincing. B. Instructive. C. Influential. D. Authoritative.65. According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?A. He/She falls behind the time. B. He/She loses good friends.C. He/She faces all kinds of criticism. D. He/She gains valuable popularity.CMinimalism (简约主义) is a term that describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is reduced to its most basic features.As for me, minimalism functions well not in art or design, but in my daily life.When I was packing for university, I found it extremely difficult to let go of some of the things I owned. I knew I couldnt take everything with me, but I kept asking myself “how could I possibly throw this away?”, “what if I need it one day?”, and “what about all of the memories?” Now that Ive moved, and left that stuff behind, I dont even miss it. Whether or not I got rid of it, it barely makes a bit of difference to me now.Ive learned that over time people forget, or their need for a particular object eventually disappears. Either they store it away or they get rid of it.You might think nostalgically（怀旧的） about the toys you cared about when you were a child, but what is making you smile now is not the thing itself but the memory of it. 1ve heard it a hundred times, “you dont need things to make you happy.” It takes something life-changing like moving across the country to realize how true this is.Speaking of which, for a lot of people, minimalism is about able to move. Its about being able to go almost anywhere at any time because you dont have many possessions to carry. When you keep things you dont need they become a burden that ties you to a place. Moving to university was a good time to let go of a lot of stuff. And when I visit for the holidays, Ill probably get rid of even more, to lighten the burden.Of course there are exceptions. There are some things that are irreplaceable, very rare or expensive or we simply love and cherish for some reason or another, since we are humans. But after we keep those, how much is left that we dont really need?Hence, minimalism. And why does minimalism bring happiness? That was a bit of a roundabout way of saying that, its because what really makes me happy is freedom. And the key to freedom is minimalism because minimalism reduces our attachment to things.Attachment to too many objects creates a great mess and can severely hold back our freedom to do whatever we want, while minimalism helps us start new projects, move, travel, learn new things, work, expand, be debt-free, be healthy really living life to our full potential.I left the nest to fly onwards and upwards, I cant do it with old things weighing me down. And that is why I have adopted minimalism with open arms.66. In paragraph l, the writer gives the definition of minimalism to . A. introduce a topic B. present his own idea C. describe a scene D. offer an argument67. Many people dont want to let go of some of their belongings because . A. they havent had any life-changing experiences B. they fear their memories will be gone with the thrown-away stuff C. they hope to live life to their full potential by storing things away D. they may have to change their lifestyle because of the loss of them68. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the writer favors “minimalism” in life? A. It takes the burden off her while she is moving. B. It reduces her attachment to her personal things. C. It enables her to gain the freedom that she desires. D. It helps her to realize how true life is.69. By saying “there are exceptions”, the writer means A. little is left if we keep what we cherish most in our life B. minimalism should be practised accordingly in different situations C. minimalism is a method difficult to employ in reality D. life is full of exceptions so its difficult to preserve what we value70. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Minimalism brings happiness. B. Minimalism is applied in many fields. C. Minimalism makes people think nostalgically.D. Minimalism is about able to move.DThere are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands. We need to know how to make a choice when we shop.Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.We have to realize that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else does your choice affect?71. The main idea of this passage is that .A. its important to make the right choices B. its important to know how to compare pricesC. its important to know how to shop carefullyD. we learn everything we need to know at school72.
