A
Saturday, March 24th
We have arrived in the hot,wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand (泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water,and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.
56. The diaries above show the writer’s _________ days in Thailand.
A. 3 B. 7 C. 15 D. 30
57. It seems that visitors _________ in Bangkok.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
59. People with little education usually ________.
A. spend a long time in school B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs D. have fewer chances to get a good job
60. The earliest education was probably to _______.
A. make a man lead a better life B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living D. teach people to read good books
61. It is expected that educated people will be able to ________.
A. accept education as a way of living B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays D. learn subjects like language and math
62. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
C
My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He always complains about how fast things have changed，and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage，they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children，but now not anymore. Everyone is working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore；everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day，even in winter. But now we don’t. And in school，the children don’t have to think anymore. In math class，for example，we used to add，subtract（减），multiply（乘） and divide（除）in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads anymore；instead，they use calculators（计算器）.
Most families have computers now. In the past，we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now less and less people eat home-cooked food anymore.
And people don’t talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk ，too busy to eat，too busy to think...
Life used to be simple，but it isn’t anymore.
63. What does the writer’s grandfather think of the life now？
A. He thinks the life is the same as it used to be.
B. He thinks the life now is worse than it used to be.
C. He thinks the life now is better than it used to be.
D. He thinks the life now is very good.

An American named Crum invented potato chips in 1853, although that was not his intention (意图). He was a chef (厨师长) at a beautiful restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. A regular dish on the menu was fried (油炸的) potatoes, which was an idea that had started in France. At that time, French fried potatoes were cut into thick slices(片).
One day, a dinner guest at the restaurant sent back his fried potatoes to the chef because he did not like them so thick. So Crum cut the potatoes a little thinner and fried them. The guest did not like those either. That made Crum angry, so he thought he would just show the man. He sliced the potatoes paper-thin and fried them, thinking that the man would say nothing about it. However, to his surprise, the man loved the thin potatoes very much. Other guests tried them and liked them. So, Crum’s potato chips were added to the menu. They were called Saratoga Chips.

Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to t urn salt water into fresh water.
On some places, the sun is not hot enough or it does not shine every day. In such places, people begin to get fresh water from the sea water by heating it. This way costs more money, but it works faster than the sun.
But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. People are trying other ways.
One way is to make the sea water cold less than zero. The fresh water will turn into ice first. Take the ice out. That’s the fresh water you want.
Which way is the best? The one that gives most water with the least money. It may be a different way for each place.

Thank you for your letter.
I know that you want to visit China. That’s a good idea. As you know,Beijing is the capital of China. It has a long history,and there are many places of interest,such as the Great Wall,the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace. Summer and Autumn are the best time to come to Beijing. You can go surfing in Dalian or Qingdao in summer. The waves there are terrific. I’m sure you will have a good time in China. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ming
