Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness. Yet，with dark glasses or not，they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes，and even snow blindness，when exposed to several hours of “snow light”.
The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather，a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered without-grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something，hour after hour，the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid(液体)which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly，and the result is total，even though for a short time，snow blindness.
Experiments lead the army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts(侦察员)ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes，creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight，dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see，stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time，the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.
61. To prevent snow blindness caused by the strong light from snow，wearing glasses or not . A. depends on whether the snow is white enough B. makes no difference C. makes much difference
D. depends on whether the snow is thick
62. When the eyes are tired，tears flow out . A. to clear the vision
B. to make the eyes stop searching C. to make the vision unclear
D. to produce more and more liquid
63. Snow blindness can be prevented by . A. moving one’s gaze back and forth
B. walking ahead and keeping looking around C. making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes D. providing the eyes with something to focus on
64. What is the probable meaning of the underlined part “Their gaze is arrested. ”？ A. They get something to look at. B. They can only look at one spot. C. Their eyes are clear. D. They can’t see freely.
65. A suitable title for this passage would be . A. Snow blindness and How to Overcome It B. Nature’s Cure for Snow blindness C. Soldiers in the Snow D. Snow Vision

A young and successful executive(经理)was traveling down a neighborhood street，going a bit too fast in his new car. He was watching for kids darting(猛冲)out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.
As his car passed，one child appeared，and a brick smashed into(猛撞)the car’s side door. He slammed(踩)on the brakes and drove the car back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.
He jumped out of the car，grabbed the kid and pushed him up against a parked car，shouting，“What was that all about and who are you？Just what are you doing？”Building up a head of steam，he went on，“That’s a new car and that brick you threw will cost a lot of money. Why did you do it？”
“Please，mister，please，I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else to do！”said the youngster. “It’s my brother，”he said. “He fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. ”
Sobbing(啜泣)，the boy asked the executive，“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair？He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me. ”
Moved beyond words，he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes(擦伤)and cuts，checking to see that everything was going to be okay.
“Thank you，sir. And God bless you，”the grateful child said to him. The man then watched
the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk towards their home.
It was a long walk back to his car. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent(凹痕)to remind himself not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention：Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes，when you don’t have the time to listen. . . Life throws a brick at your head. It’s your choice—Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick！
66. Why did the boy throw a brick at the car？ A. He did it carelessly. B. He didn’t like the car.

Directions：Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
In the past，man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth，and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today，things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly，and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this，human being on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea，there will soon be none left. Yet，with modern fishing methods，more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down，forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet，we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories，we will die.
However，in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea，and there are few laws to stop this.
We know，too，that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate，in a few years，there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems？
If we eat more vegetables and less meat，we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world’s population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally，if we educate people to think about the problems，we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future. The importance of 71 ?More fish 72 ?More 73 being cut down ?More 74 being put into rivers ?More 75 being born ?The world is becoming too 76 . ?Modern methods make the situation worse.

Directions：Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Playing is serious business for children. In fact，it’s what they do best！Ask them why they do it，and kids will probably say，“Because it’s fun！”But it’s much more than that. It’s also good for them.
Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get to know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight.
When small children choose which toy to play with，they begin developing their abilities in making decisions.
Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.
Crayons，paints and Play-Doh(彩色塑泥)are also good because they allow children to create. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.
Playing doesn’t become any less important once children start school. Many valuable lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share，take turns and play by the rules.
