No one likes germs．You wash your hands often and avoid sick people．But some of the germiest places are in your own home where you can’t avoid them!
Over 77，500 bacteria per square centimeter can live in your kitchen sink drain．More bacteria live in and around the sink itself．To get rid of them，clean the entire sink area with a disinfectant．
Those wet clothes from your washer are not all that clean，especially if they include underwear．Use hot water and bleach to wash underwear as it contains E．colin（大腸稈菌）．Put wet laundry in the dryer quickly so the bacteria do not multiply．
The germs you wash off your body stay in the tub-about 15．500 bacteria per square centimeter! Use a disinfectant to clean your tub weekly．And dry the tub with a clean towel so more germs won’t grow on the wet surface．
You’ll find plenty of germs outside your home too．
Lots of germs live on the buttons of your local ATM．According to www．health．corn，Chinese researchers tested 38 ATMs in downtown Taipei．They found that each button hosted an average of 1，200 germs．Use a hand sanitizer after using the ATM and after handling paper money too．
The bottoms of women’s purses house tens of thousands if not millions of bacteria．University of Arizona researchers discovered all kinds of different bacteria on purse bottoms．These included E．coli as well as bacteria that cause eye and skin infections．Women should wipe their purses every few days with a mild soap solution．
All kinds of germs live on shopping cart shopping cart handles．Lots of people touch the handles each day——and who knows where their hands have been! Carry disinfectant wipes and use them on the handles．That will kill nearly a11 germs．
64．How many germy places are mentioned in this passage?
A．two                        B．four                       C．six                         D．eight
65．What does the underlined word disinfectant mean in the second paragraph?
A．a(chǎn) kind of germ
B．a(chǎn) tablecloth
C．a(chǎn) kind of cleaning tool
D．a(chǎn) kind of chemical liquid which can kill germs

Charles Dickens (1812-1870), the great nineteenth century English novelist, was born near Portsmouth.

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun -see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.
64. The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. explain how to use the Internet
B. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C. tell the merits(價(jià)值) and usefulness of the Internet
D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
65. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former（前者） helps one _________.
A. reach a group of people at a time conveniently
B. keep one’s communication as personal as possible
C. pass on much more information than the later
D. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later
66. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Computer: New Technological Advances
B. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship
C. Computers Have Made Life Easier
D. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication

 I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (烏龜). At the end I said. “Son, remember: Slow and steady (穩(wěn)固的) wins the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m participating in the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”
I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep on the way!”
“He must have wished that,” Sonny said. “Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted, “He won the race by perseverance , by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
61.Sonny believed that the tortoise ________.
won the race by his own effort
B. took a risk by agreeing to race
C. was not given a fair chance in the race
D. in fact did not win the race
62.Billy, Tony and Sandy must be ________.
A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father
B. boys Sonny had run races with before
C. boys Sonny had never raced with before
D. boys Sonny did not expect to race with again
63.The writer thinks that his generation (代) ________.
A. were more clever than Sonny’s generation
B. had the same ideas about life as Sonny’s generation
C. were more hopeful than Sonny’s generation
D. had different ideas about life from Sonny’s generation

E
Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent（潛流） of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will appear, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from Isaac Newton.
Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is a baby now. That's because the search for a unified theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created after the problem can be solved.
But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon. For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theorists who could argue with Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare. Education is different, too. One key aspect of Einstein's training that-is little noticed is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager --- Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently about space and time and it wasn't long before he became a philosopher himself.
And Einstein was a clever musician. The interplay between music and math is well-known. Einstein would play his violin hard as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.
Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills. Those who stay in science don’t work alone and they sometimes do experiment together which takes years.
It's hard to imagine a renegade(背叛者) like Einstein standing it. “Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.”
72. According to the second paragraph, the next Einstein will ___________.
A. have to create new math             B. create a unified theory
C. have to be born now               D. push math to its limits
73. The underlined words “knotty” in the fourth paragraph means ____________.
A. easy            B. interesting          C. strange         D. difficult
74. Which of the following will be useful for the next Einstein to be born?
A. There will be music around.
B. There will be no problems to solve.
C. There will be suitable philosophy to study.
D. There are only a few physicists.
75. The bold words “unified theory” in Paragraph 2 refers to ___________.
A. agreement                  B. mathematical rule
C. unique idea                  D. physical saying
