I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large

Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago.
Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Company. The idea for the product came from an awful experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive (粘合剂) that a colleague, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was strong enough to hold papers together, but not strong enough to tear the paper when it was removed.
A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.
Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they asked the company to give away thousands of the “sticky pieces of paper” for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.
65. How did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?
A. He created the Post-it Notes.
B. He offered the new adhesive to Art.
C. His adhesive made Art’s invention possible.
D. He often worked and discussed science with Art.
66. Which of the following is a possible use of Post-it Notes?
A. A note on a friend’s door
B. An ad in a newspaper.
C. A postcard from abroad.
D. An e-mail to a friend.
67. Which of the following shows the proper order of the events?
a. The company gave away many “sticky pieces of paper” for people to try.
b. Dr. Spence created a new adhesive.
c. Many orders were received and the Post-it Notes became successful.
d. Fry invented Post-it Notes.
e. His colleagues began to use the new types of notes themselves.
A. d b a e c
B. b a e d c
C. d e a b c
D. b d e a c

A. Entertainment（）

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on neighboring farms got into a quarrel. It was the first serious one in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery without argument.
One morning there was a knock on the older brother’s door. He opened it and saw a carpenter (木匠) with a toolbox asking for some work to do. The older brother agreed and asked the carpenter to build him a fence so that he would not see his brother’s place or face any more. He told the carpenter he was angry with his brother’s behavior of making a stream to separate their fields. The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”
The older brother had to go to town, so the carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, nailing, and hammering on his own. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all.
It was a bridge－a bridge stretching from one side of the stream to the other! Then the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched.
The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands and hugged. They turned to see the carpenter lift up his toolbox on his shoulder.
“No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said the older brother.
“I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but I have many more bridges to build.”
69. What was the life like for the two brothers before the quarrel?
A. They lived a poor life.
B. They lived in peace.
C. They lived on the same farm.
D. They never spoke to each other.
70. The older brother wanted to build a fence in order to _________.
A. avoid seeing his brother
B. protect himself
C. separate the fields
D. make his farm beautiful
71. We can learn in the underlined sentence that the carpenter may __________.
A. be in a hurry to do more work to earn money
B. be asked to clear up more misunderstandings
C. hope to build more bridges for people to cross
D. be willing to help more people make up
72. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. A Positive Carpenter
B. A Fine Piece of Work C. A Quarrel between Two Brothers
D. Two Brothers
D
Obama to pay congestion charge
US President Barack Obama will have to pay the London congestion charge for his large vehicle,(车辆) “The Beast”. Each car in the President’s fleet (车队) will be billed $16 for traveling through the center of London in rush hours during his state visit, the Daily Mail of London reported Saturday. “Our roads were not closed during the President’s visit so his fleet will pay.” London Mayor Boris Johnson said. The US embassy (大使馆) claims it doesn’t need to pay the charge （收费）because it is technically a charge which should be for UK citizens alone.
Man who lives in his RV
There is nothing new about someone traveling in a recreational vehicle (RV) or even living in one. But if someone parks his RV beside his 100-square-meter apartment and lives in it for 5 years, it may be considered strange. Wang Hongxing, a 53-year-old Beijinger, has seldom slept at his home since he bought his RV in 2006. “I loved it at first sight,” Wang, who runs an RV club, said. “And I wouldn’t exchange my present life no matter how fancy the house is.” The RV industry in China is still in its early years compared with those in Europe and the US.
“I think it’s great fun. An RV is more than simply a means of travel to me; it is a way of life. You would say someone is rich if he drives a BMW instead of an RV. And RV owners don’t have to be the rich ones, either. I’d say we just know more about what is real happiness in life, something more than just buying luxuries (奢侈品).”
73．The US embassy refuses to pay the congestion charge because it believes _________ .
A. the fine is too high
B. the fleet didn’t travel during the rush hour
C. the roads were closed during the state visit
D. the charge is aimed at the local people
74. The underlined word “fancy” probably means _______ .
A. traditional
B. expensive
C. classical
D. famous
75. Why does Wang Hongxing prefer to live in his RV ?
A. Because it brings him real happiness.
B. Because it is more convenient for him.
C. Because it is more expensive than a BMW.
D. Because he can’t afford a house.

On the way, I was imagining how happily my father would be when he accepted the present. The train got to the next stop before I knew it. An old lady got the train. Every seat was taken, but she had to stand with two heavy bags in both of her hand.
After an immediate hesitation, I gave my seat to her and he was grateful for all what I did.
In my opinion, give others a hand whenever they are in trouble not only brings happiness to the ones who receive it but also to the ones who give it.
