Many either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains, often changing lines several times in order to reach their destinations. It is not uncommon for students to spend two or more hours each day on public transportation. After junior high school, students attend schools based on standardized（标准化） high school entrance examination scores. As a result, some students travel a great distance to attend the school determined by their test scores. The school day begins at 8:30, so students may leave home as early as 6:30. While some students sleep or study during their long trip, public transportation also provides a chance for socializing with other children. Student behavior on the way to school is regulated（管理） by school rules. These rules may forbid certain activities in public chewing gum, eating snacks, reading books while walking anything that might reflect badly on the reputation（名声）of the school. Each school has a unique（独特的）uniform that makes students easily recognized by the public. School rules often require students to stand on buses and trains, leaving seats open for other passengers in order to show consideration. In practice, however, the behavior of students tends to relax as they move farther away from school.56It is not surprising to know that _.AJapanese high school students spend two or more hours getting to schoolBJapanese high school students are not allowed to drive to schoolCJapanese high school students must take public buses and trainsDJapanese high school students change lines several times before reaching their school57It can be concluded from the text that _.AJapanese high school students travel a long distance to attend the school they choose Bstandardized high school entrance examination results decide the school they attendCJapanese high school students are not allowed to choose the school they preferDwhich high school they attend has something to do with their performance in junior high school58Why is student behavior on the way to school regulated by school rules?AThe teachers want to train the students to be good citizens after they grow upBThe schools want to make their students known to the publicCThe headmasters intend the students to care for other passengersDThe schools want to gain a god reputation in the society. BThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in womens way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.59. We are told that in an average family about 1990_.A. many children died before they were fiveB. the youngest child would be fifteenC. seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD. four or five children died when they were five60. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother_.A. would expect to work until she diedB. was usually expected to take up paid employmentC. would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD. was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely61. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to _.A. marry so that they can get a jobB. leave school as soon as they canC. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD. continue working until they are going to have a baby62. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to _.A. stay at home after leaving school B. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in life D. marry while still at schoolCYou either have it, or you donta sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map. While others can lose themselves in the next street?Scienists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood now it works.One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it we may lose it. “Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Murland, research director of the project. “However if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car. They never develop the skills.Jim Murland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions.If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a strange place. Put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the way you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you count your steps so that you know how fast you have gone and note any landrnarks such as lower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again63.Scientists believe that .A.some babies are born with a sense of directionB.people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC.people never lose their sense of directionD.everybody possess sense of direction from birth64.What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?A.They never have a sense of direction without maps.B.They should never he allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.C.They have a sense of direction and can find the way around.D.They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car. 65.If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should .A.tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolenB.draw a map to help remember where it isC.avoid taking the same route when you come back to itD.remember something easily recognizable on the route 66.According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to .A.ask the policeman for directionsB.use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourselfC.remember your route by looking out for steps and stairsD.count the number of landrnarks that you see DAristotle, the Greek philosopher, summed up the four chief qualities of money some 2,000 years ago. It must be lasting and easy to recognize, to divide, and to carry about.When we think of money today, we picture it as round, flat pieces of metal which we call coins, or as printed paper notes. But there are still parts of the world today where coins and notes are of no use. They will buy nothing, and a traveler might starve if he had none of the particular local “money”. Among remote people, who are not often reached by traders, from outside, commerce usually means barter（物物交换）. There is a direct exchange of goods. Perhaps it is fish for vegetables, or meat for grain. For this kind of simple trading, money is not needed, but there is often something that everyone wants and everybody can use, such as salt, shells, or iron and copper. These things salt, shells or metals are till used as money in out-of-the-way parts of the world today.Salt may rather be a strange substance to use as money, but in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetable, it is often an absolute necessity. Cakes of salt, stamped to show their value, were used as money in Tibet until recent times, and cakes of salt will still buy goods in Borneo and parts of Africa. Cowrie sea shells have been used as money at some time or another over the greater part of the Old World. These were collected mainly from the beaches of the Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, and were traded to India and China. In Africa, cowries were traded right across the continent from East to West. Four or five thousand went for one Maria Theresa dollar, an Austrian silver coin which was once accepted as money in many parts of Africa. Metal, valued by weight, were early coins in many parts of the world. Iron, in lumps, bars or rings, is still used in many countries instead of money. It can either be exchanged for goods, or made into tools or weapons. The early money of China, apart from shells, was of bronze（青铜）, ten in flat, round pieces with a hole in the middle, called “cash”. The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years old older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean. Nowadays, coins and notes have taken place of nearly all the more interesting forms of money, and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still hold it for future use on ceremonial occasions such as weddings and funerals（葬礼）, examples of early money will soon be found only in museums.67. In some parts of the world a traveler might starve _.A. even if his money was of the local kind B. even if he had no coins or notes C. if he did not know the local rate of exchange D. even if he had plenty of coins and notes68. Barter usually takes the place of money transaction where _.A. there is only salt B. trading needs are fairly simpleC. metal tools are used D. it is done only for ceremonial purposes69. Salt is still used as money _.A. in TibetB. in the Maldives IslandsC. in several countries D. only for ceremonial purposes70. Four or five thousand cowrie shells used to b
