Your mobile phone rings and instead of the usual electronic signals it’s playing your favourite music．A friend sends your favourite song to cheer you up．One day，a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone．
The mobile business is getting into the music business．For the moment，the interest is in pleasant ring tones，but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones—all purpose gadgets that blend phone，personal stereo，video player and Internet browser into one．
Finally，record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers．
The fans could pass music or songs along to friends—a kind of musical trading card．Unlike Internet tracks，mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control，said former record industry official Ralph，Simon，who is now chairman of Yourmobile，based in Santa Monic，California．
“If you pass a song along to other phones through a network，each phone can be charged，” said Simon．“It’s like going through toll gate (收费站)．There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet．”
Massachusetts-based Converse is offering service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends．Finally，people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along．The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone．
“A mobile phone is not a listening machine，and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it into a radio，” said Ouzel，a creative manager for Converse in Israel．“But if someone sends you a song while you’re on vacation，you appreciate the feeling．”
72．The underlined word “blend” in the second paragraph most probably means _____．
A．send B．come C．mix D．compare
73．“Massachusetts-based Converse”in the sixth paragraph probably refers to ______．
A．a person B．a city in Israel
C．a state of the USA D．a company
74．Record companies ______ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones．
A．are worried about B．are interested in
C．try hard to stop D．take no notice of
75．According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to _______ through mobile phone network than through the Internet．
A．protect copyright of music works B．send personal messages
C．pass along songs and music D．send voice mail
Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher．
If I have learned anything in my 16 years，it is that communication is very important，both when you disagree and when you get along．With any relationship，you need to let the other person know how you are feeling．If you are not able to communicate，your relationship drifts apart．When you are mad at your parents or anyone else，not talking to them doesn’t solve anything．
Communication begins with the concerns of another．It means that you can’t just come home from school，go up to your room and talk to nobody．Even if you just say “Hi” and see how their day is for five minutes，it is better than nothing．
If you look up the word “communication” in the dictionary，it will say “the exchange of ideas，conveyance (传递) of information，correspondence (通信)，means of communication；a letter or message”．To keep a good relationship，you must keep the communication strong．Let people know how you feel，even if it’s just by writing a note．
When dealing with parents，you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as parents．If you are trying to make them see something as you see it，tell them that you listen to what they have to say，but ask them politely to listen to you．Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse．
Here is an example．One night，Sophie went to a street party with her friends．She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks．but they didn’t feel she could just ask to go home．That would be rude．After all，they had been nice enough to take her along with them．Needless to say，she was late getting home．Her parents were mad at first，but when Sophie explained why she was late，they weren’t as mad and let the incident go．Communication was the key factor here．If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen，Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble．
Communication isn’t a one-way deal．It goes both ways．Just remember：if you get into a situation like Sophie’s，telling the other person how you feel and listening are key factors to communication．
68．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________．
A．the importance of friendship
B．making your feelings known to others
C．the importance of communication
D．the disagreement between generations
69．The key to happy relationship between parents and children is that _______．
A．children should always obey their parents
B．parents play the leading part
C．parents should mind their own business
D．both should make the other know their feelings
70．The example in the passage proves that ________．
A．Sophie’s parents were willing to listen to her
B．Sophie was very polite to her parents
C．Sophie did the right thing when she explained the reason of her being late
D．communication is the key to solving misunderstanding
71．All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ________．
A．if you don’t agree with others，you’d better let them know
B．it is better to say “Hi” to others than to say nothing
C．if you are too busy to communicate，just walk away
D．communication is a two-way deal
Everyone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over S 30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood，a small town in Louisiana，is an international pop superstar with not only S 30 million but also a S 2 million house in LA．At her young age，she can look after her family financially all her life．
This year is a big year for Britney，she is currently on a 31 date tour of the US and every concert is a sell out．That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time．It’s a tiring schedule but brings great rewards．When touring，she goes to bed at around 1 a．m．and then has a lie-in until 1 p．m．or 2 p．m．the next day．Her philosophy (人生哲学) is to take care of the body and be relaxed but always make sure you work hard and have fun．
Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records，so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting．She made an appearance in “Austin Powers 3” in 2002 and she filmed a teenage comedy that was released in 2003．In this movie，she had a starring role．The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer．
In spite of the fact that she has not enjoyed the same popularity as a pop singer so far，she insists on trying more roles．For Britney，acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all．If her movies are successful，her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love，not for money．
64．Tickets for Britney’s concert are ________．
A．booked in groups B．too expensive
C．not available D．all sold
65．The underlined word “you” in the second paragraph refers to _______．
A．a person in general B．a particular person
C．Britney herself only D．the reader
66．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Though young，Britney is a superstar both on the stage and screen
B．While touring，Britney is so tired that she has to sleep more than usual．
C．The teenage comedy was based on Britney’s own ideas．
D．Britney will be even more wealthy with her movies successful．
67．According to Britney Spears，she works _______．
A．to be a great actress B．for the enjoyment
C．to be more famous D．for the love of singing
