71  One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club .It 's great fun especially if you're the sort of person who feels there 's never anything to do during the school holidays.

The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club.  72  Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups ,sports ,making things? The list is endless.

Next you need some friends to be in your club with you.  73  All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same things as you.

74  You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That 'll keep you busy for ages.

At your first meeting you should make up a rule book .And the very first rule should be no grown-ups or little /big brothers /sisters ! The best clubs are always secret!

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them.  75   Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

So there you are, get clubbing ! Once you get started you'll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A.That's easy

B.Enjoy your own club!

Elephants are famous for their supposedly excellent memory. Now it seems that they are good at simple math too.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have found an Asian elephant named Ashya can add small quantities together and correctly identify(识别)which is larger.

For example ,when researcher Naoko dropped three apples into one bucket and one apple into a second, then four more apples into the first and five into the second, Ashya correctly identified that the first bucket contained more apples and began munching(嚼)on her tasty prize.

Ashya chose the correct bucket 74% of the time "I even get confused when "I'm dropping the apple," Naoko told New Scientist magazine.

Elephants' counting abilities are far from unique. Chimps, pigeons(鸽子)and dolphins have shown the same abilities in lab tests, but what is more impressive for Elephants is that their ability to tell between two figures does not get worse when those numbers are more similar.

The elephants that Naoko tested were as good at telling the difference between five and six as they were at telling between five and one.

Naoko presented her findings last week at the International Society annual meeting in New York.

It is not obvious why elephants should need this mathematical ability in the wild." It is really tough to figure out why elephants would need to count," said Mya, a professor at Cornell University who studies elephants.

One possibility is that they use it to keep track of other members of their herd(兽群)so that no one is left behind. Asian elephants live in groups of six to eight." You really don't want to lose your group members," said Mya.

Another possibility is that the ability for simple math might be a by-product(副产品)of natural selection for a larger brain.

68.The experiments researchers have done recently show that elephants can____.

A. memorize things correctly      B. munch on apples

C. do some simple math          D. change small quantities into larger ones

69.What does the underlined word" tough" in Paragraph 8 mean?

A. Difficult        B. Impossible     C. Easy      D. Useful

70.The reason why elephants need to count is possibly that_____.

A. they want to exercise their brains

B .they often count the members of their herd

C. they hope to stay in groups

D. they have taken regular training

 

 

One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie hall ,the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York. Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound .It has been said that the hall itself is an instrument. It takes the music and makes it larger than life.

Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction .Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1980 and the official opening night was on May 5,1891.

The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon。The building became very old and in 1960,the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stern led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally ,the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.

In 1986,people realised that Carnegie Hall had never kept proper records of its history.

Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12,000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall 's concert history.

Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls ,but the Main Hall, now called the Isaac Stern Auditorium, is the most famous. The hall itself can hold an audience of 2804 in five levels of seating .Visitors to the top level have to climb up 105 steps to get there!

Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall 's history .Question:" How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" Answer:" Practise ,practise, practise."

64..It can be inferred that people wanted to save Cargenie Hall mainly because______.

A.it made a lot of money

B.it was worth visiting

C.many important concerts were held in it.

D.it made some players become famous

65.How did Carnegie Hall recover its concert history?

A.Through newspaper reports   B.Through old concert programmes

C.Through old photographs     D.Through old jokes

66.Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny?

A.Because you expect the answer to be directions but not advice

B.Because Carnegie Hall is a place where musicians practise a lot.

C.Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall

D.Because you don't expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.

67.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Historical events happened inside Carnegie Hall

B.The city of New York paid for Carnegie Hall to be built .

C.Carnegie Hall was finally fixed up in 2000.

D.Isaac Stern saved Carnegie Hall ,so the Main Hall is named after him.

 

What is the hottest topic at your school? In Hangzhou Yongjin Middle School, it's money. The school ran an activity called" making a living "recently. About 800 Junior1 and Junior 2 students were divided into 112 teams .They went out to make money by selling things.

Hu Qi's team decided to sell educational books in front of the Children Activity Center. There are always many parents around there and they thought parents would like to spend money for their children, especially on books .But unfortunately, they came across urban management officers(城管).The officers asked them to leave.

They gave the100 yuan to the "Project Hope" office later that day.

Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80yuan.

"It was not easy to make the money," said Meng "Some people just looked .Others just tasted but didn't buy."

· Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.

· Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.

· Keep noise levels down — no horns, whistles or racing of engines.

· Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.

· Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.

· Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.

· Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.

· Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.

· When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.

· Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.

· If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.
