Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.

But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smallest lane to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.

A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.

During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments (点心). He said. “I never drink when I’m working—I would lose my license.”

He normally goes home between 2 and 3 o’clock in the night. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, “That’s the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don’t make the money, no one is going to give it to you.”

London taxi drivers not only “take” but also “give”. Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea--by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares all go to the “London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children”. At the sea, they are met by the mayor, and a lunch party is also held in honor of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again—by taxi, and free of charge, of course!

A. he has to follow the bright traffic signs

B. he has to have good driving skills and know all the places in the city

Play is important in early childhood because it helps prepare a child for school. Engaging in play activities helps to develop social and language skills. When a child engages himself/herself in play activities at home, it helps to refine his listening and reasoning skills. There are many play activities that teach a child to understand and learn through touch, sight and sound.

Play is important in early childhood because it helps in the physical development of the child. Obesity (肥胖) is a common problem among children today. Engaging in outdoor games helps in preventing childhood obesity. Outdoor games also help to form and adjust the sensory development of a child.

Singing along with your child or engaging in play activities involving rhyming words

enhances the language learning. Experts think it is necessary to develop oral language skills in the early years of childhood than teaching word recognition and letter sounds. As a parent, you need to understand that talking to your child would enable him/her to pick up the language quickly. Apart from engaging in talking, singing songs, reciting poems, story telling would enhance language skills in a child.

Play helps to hone math skills in a child. Children grasp the concepts of math at an early age. As a parent, it is your responsibility to develop this skill by engaging them in play activities such as counting the number of objects in a sack, teaching them relationships like short and long, big and small, less and more and so on.

Through play, children not only learn many new skills, but also develop self-respect. One thing worth mentioning is, parents must learn to respect the interests of their children and let them take the lead while playing. Play helps in developing a healthy and long-lasting relationship between a child and his/her parents. It also helps the parents to gain an insight into the thought process of their child.

61. Which advantage is NOT a result of play?

A. Making childhood obesity.

B. Understanding with each other.

C. Deepening the relationship between children and parents.

D. Helping the parents know about their children further.

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs.

The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.

Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.

Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.

Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.

The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

66. The major things that the sea offers man are .

A. fish and oil

B. minerals and oil

C. warm temperature and ocean currents

D. the food, energy sources, and minerals

67. The sea serves the needs of man because .

A. it provides man with food

B. it offers oil to man

C. it supplies man with minerals

D. all of the above

68. We can conclude from this passage that .

A. the sea resources have largely been used up

B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed

C. the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea have already been solved.

D. by the year 2000, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources

69. The underlined words Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably mean .

A. the people in Asia

B. African people

C. European people

D. American people

70. The best title for this passage is .

A. Sea Harvest

B. Sea Food

C. Technology for Exploiting the Sea

D. Man and the Sea

D

I must have been about 14 then, and I dismissed the incident with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.

Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.

“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”

“I try to.”

“Well, don’t,” he exclaimed. “When you grow up, time won’t come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them 5 or 10 before school, after lunch, between chores. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life.”

When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but recitations, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I recalled what Cal Walter had said.

During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I have 5 minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a sizable manuscript(手稿) ready for revision. Later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.

There is an important trick in this time-using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but 5 minutes for writing, you cannot afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.

I confess I have never learned how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very useful hours I need, if I plunge in(投入) without delay.

71. How did the writer use to practice piano?

A. One hour a day

B. Three hours a day

C. In long stretches

D. As long as he could

72. What does the underlined phrase “piecemeal method” refer to?

A. Using the time between two meals.

B. Using every five minutes between chores.

C. Using a stretch of several hours.

D. Using any time during the day

73. What is the key to this piecemeal method?

A. Careful consideration

B. Rapid concentration

D. Form a good habit D. Make the best use of one’s time

74. The writer of the passage is probably a .

A. pianist

B. student

C. professor

D. novelist

75. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. A little at a Time

B. My Piano Teacher

C. Practice Makes Perfect

D. Better Later Than Never
