What’s the _________（標題）of the passage?

A Smashing tradition: MIT Students Drop Piano

One of the highlights of the school year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology only lasts a few seconds but has a big influence. Residents of an MIT dormitory dropped an upright piano from their roof on 26^th April to celebrate the last day students can drop classes without having them appear on their college report.

About 200 onlookers watched as the piano crashed into a second piano，a baby grand，positioned on the ground six stories below for a better smash. People scrambled (爭先恐后) for souvenir pieces-keys，hammers，strings and splinters. The tradition began in 1972 at the Baker House dormitory and has been observed irregularly until 2006 when it became an annual event.

Crafton Family Comes Back Home after 7 Years at Sea

While most of us will love to go on a vacation for a week or two on a small private sailboat，without doubt，spending seven precious years on sea is something most of us will never imagine or dare to do. However，that is what an American family has done. Tom Crafton and Kathy Crafton along with their three children have traveled across the world on their 43-foot sailboat named Nueva Vida. Over the past seven years the family had sailed 30，000 miles and visited more than 20 different countries. The family has recently come back to their homeland.

Living in the limelight（聚光燈）can be difficult but as these splendid pictures show for one bear the tourist train never stops. This arctic animal loves nothing more than an audience and will even climb out of his snowy bed to give the crowd a wave. The funny poses(姿態(tài)) of the friendly polar bear were caught on camera by Swedish photographer，Hams Strand.

64. Which of the following is true about the first incident?

A. The typical style of celebration has been kept alive every year since1972.

B. Another small piano on the ground is meant to hold the falling one.

C. The students dropped the piano in celebration of their graduation.

D. The tradition became an annual event for MIT students in 2006.

65. The writer thinks Crafton family’s seven-year sailing is          .

A. unusual               B. strange                     C. common                  D. doubtful

66. What would be the best subtitle(小標題) for the third incident?

A. The Limelight Makes Polar Bear Live Hard

B. Splendid Pictures of Polar Bear Attract Tourists

C. The Tourist Train Would Stop without Polar Bear

D. Polar Bear Says Hello to Tourists with a Friendly Wave

67. The passage is probably taken out of ______.

A. a novel                B. a magazine                C. a diary                            D. a report

I’m confused these days．We are taught at home and at school that using violence （暴力） is the least civilized （文明的） way to solve problems．For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach．I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement．If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?

When two countries disagree, they often fight a war．Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies．And refugees （難民） exist, too．

A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger．Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace．But can you really “make peace” by killing so many people? I don’t think bombs （炸彈） can reach people’s hearts and change them．Bombs can’t create love and caring, and that’s what we need in the world．Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can’t they use their wisdom （智慧） and talk it over?

Adults might say that things are not that easy．But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill．Why don’t they act as what they say?

---A page from a 12-tear-old boy, Joshua’s diary．

2．Joshua hates wars between countries because ________．

A．he is afraid of wars                      B．he doesn’t understand adults

C．wars create death and refugees      D．wars are not the only way to make peace

3．What’s the key to peace in Joshua’s opinion?

A．Love and care for each other．         B．Don’t use violence so quickly．

  C．Stop using bombs in wars．                    D．Don’t hurt or kill people in wars．

4．From the reading we can see Joshua wants adults to ________．

  A．learn from children                           B．be children’s models

C．be kind to children                           D．teach children how to solve problems

5．Choose the best title （標題） for the passage．

  C．Wars Can’t Make Peace                    D．Ways of Solving Problems  

Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn’t always come home with them. Airline identification tags（標簽） can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don’t keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store’s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老練的）shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
The store’s own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（獲得物） have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.
Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.
【小題1】Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.

Coca Cola is an American icon – and sometimes seen as a symbol of the country’s economic right. But one of the world’s famous companies will play a different role during the 2008 Olympic Games: promoting Oriental (東方的) culture to the world.

The man who is in charge of the project couldn’t be more suited for the job. The American has lived in the country for about 15 years, speaks fluent Chinese, and considers Beijing his hometown. David Brooks, vice-president and general manager of the Olympics Project Group of Coca Cola China, who has lived in the country for more than a decade, said: "We are working very hard to create a lot of special different kinds of items that are very Oriental in character and have a strong Oriental identity. "There is a lot of curiosity around the world about the country and about Oriental culture. So, we think we also have a role and opportunity to show people so many things."

Coca Cola has launched its logo(標識) with the Beijing Games, featuring kites and lucky clouds, traditional elements in the Oriental culture. Brooks considers it a good start. "We are doing a lot of similar programs, and in the next 570 days or so, as we count down to the Games, you will see more examples with strong Oriental spirit and identity."

He certainly has a sense of history. "The Olympic spirit, which is an ancient spirit from over 2,000 years ago, is alive. It still lives through the Olympic Games in the idea of balancing the body and mind, and doing the best," said Brooks, who has been to three Games. "It's like a big family celebrating together. I think all the members of my team and I feel it is a special honor to be involved in the Games."

1．The underlined word “icon” in the first sentence can be replaced by “       ”.

A．sign  B．image       C．portrait     D．picture

2．What can we know about David Brooks from the passage?

A．He is vice – president and general manager of Coca Cola Corporation.

B．He is living in Beijing with his family.

C．He has mastered at least two languages.

D．He is especially curious about oriental culture.

3．Why will Coca Cola cooperate (合作) with the 2008 Olympic Games?

A．Because it is a good chance to let the world understand Oriental culture.

B．Because there is a lot of curiosity around the world about China and Oriental culture.

C．Because it contains a lot of enormous business opportunities.

D．Because it will promote Oriental culture to the world.
