    SYDNEY (AFP) — Thousands of people sat down to breakfast on the Sydney Harbor Bridge on Sunday after the bridge was closed to traffic and carpeted with grass for the first time for a giant picnic.
    About 6,000 early riser were on the steel bridge from 6:30 am to take part in the two-hour event designed to show Sydney’s best food and outdoor lifestyle.
    As music performers provided the background music, those who had won tickets to the picnic in a random lottery (随机抽奖) began to feast on fruit, pastries, muesli, yoghurt ...
    “It’s amazing to see the bridge in this perspective (角度),” said Don Fuchs who lives near the bridge, which is used by about 100,000 cars daily.
    “Usually you sit in the car, you cross it, and that’s it.”
    “It was beautiful,” said Linda Curnow who attended the picnic with her family. “The grass was so thick that it was like being in your backyard.”
    New South Wales state Premier Nathan said the event was set to become a mark of an annual Sydney’s month-long October food festival.
    About 45,000 people applied for tickets to the breakfast for which people brought their own food but were able to taste samples from some of the state’s best producers.
    Organizers used about 40 percent of the grass on Sydney parks. The bridge reopened at about 1:00 pm.
    64. What made Linda Curnow feel as if she were in her own backyard?
    A. There being no cars passing by.
    B. So much food offered by Australian producers.
    C. So many people dining at the same time.

    British author JK Rowling was at the release of her latest Harry Potter book called “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” at the Natural History Museum in London, Friday July 20, 2007.
    J.K. Rowling has been spotted at cafes in Scotland working on a detective novel, a British newspaper reported Saturday.
    The Sunday Times newspaper quoted Ian Rankin, a fellow author and neighbor of Rowling's, as saying the creator of the "Harry Potter" books is turning to crime fiction.
    "My wife spotted her writing her Edinburgh criminal detective novel," the newspaper quoted Rankin as telling a reporter at an Edinburgh literary festival.
    "It is great that she has not abandoned writing or Edinburgh cafes," said Rankin, who is known for his own police novels set in the historic Scottish city.
    Rowling famously wrote initial drafts of the Potter story in the Scottish city's cafes. Back then, she was a struggling single mother who wrote in cafes to save on the heating bill at home.
    Now she's Britain's richest woman - worth $1 billion, according to Forbes magazine - and her seven Potter books have sold more than 335 million copies worldwide.
    In an interview with The Associated Press last month, Rowling said she believed she was unlikely to repeat the success of the Potter series, but confirmed she had plans to work on new books.
    "I'll do exactly what I did with Harry - I'll write what I really want to write," Rowling said.

    D. He told the British newspaper The Sunday Times about JK Rowling’s novels.
    48 Why did Rowling like to write the “Harry Potter stories” in the cafes?
    A. Because she was a romantic woman and the atmosphere in the cafes gave her lots of inspiration.
    B. Because she was a single mother at that time and she wanted to find a husband there.
    C. Because her children were so naughty at home and she had to go to a quiet place for her writing.

    Arnold followed Eugie down the slope, stealing, as his brother did, from one stock of wheat to another. Eugie paused before climbing through the wire fence that divided the Wheatfield from the marshy pasture （牧场）around the lake. They were screened from the ducks by the trees along the lake’s edge.
    “If  you hit your duck, you want me to go in after it?” Eugie said.
    “If you want.” Amold said.
    Eugie lowered his eyelids, “You’d drown before you got it, the legs of yours are so weak.” he said contemptuously（轻蔑地）.
    He shoveled the tub under the fence and, pressing down the center wire, climbed through into the pasture.
    Arnold pressed down the bottom wire, pushed a leg through and leaned forward to bring the other leg after. His rifle caught on the wire and he pulled at it. The air was rocked by the sound of the shot. Feeling foolish, he lifted his face, uncovering it to an expected shower of derision （嘲弄）from his brother. But Eugie did not turn around. Instead, from his crouching position, he fell into his knees and then fell forward onto his face. The ducks rose up crying from the lake, cleared the mountain background and beat away northward across the pale sky.
    Arnold squatted beside his brother. Eugie seemed to be climbing the earth, as if the earth ran up and down, and when he found he couldn’t scale it he lay still.
    “Eugie?”
    Then Arnold saw it, under the rolling hair at the back of the need — a slow rising of bight blood. It had an unpleasant movement, like that of a parasite（寄生虫）.
    “Hey, Eugie, ” he said again. He was feeling the same discomfort he had felt when he had watched Eugie sleeping; his brother didn’t know that he was lying face down in the pasture.
    Again he said, “Hey, Eugie,” an anxious push in his voice. But Eugie was as still as the morning about them.
    72．What does the underlined word “screened” in Para 1 probably mean?
    A．Separated.          B．Stopped.      C．Dragged.      D．Hidden.
    73．According to the passage, we know that       .
    A．Eugie always laughed at Arnold
    B．Eugie would help Arnold hit the ducks
    C．Arnold begged Eugie to go in after the ducks
    D．Eugie was worried that Arnold might drown
    74．Why did Eugie lie still?
    A．Arnold shot him intentionally.       B．Arnold killed him accidentally.
    C．He pretended to be unconscious.     D．He was ready to shoot some ducks.
    75．It can be inferred from the passage that         .
    A．the relationship between Arnold and Euie was not so good
    B．Arnold followed Eugie approaching the lake to steal ducks
    C．they were crouching forward to steal the wheat
    D．Eugie was always taking care of Arnold

    Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best friend ---- a bird called Woodstock.
    Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world.
    When Snoopy first appeared, he was no different from other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak in thought bubbles with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who fails at just about everything. Later he learned to use the typewriter.
    Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon.
    However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, “It was a dark and stormy night…” Unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story.
    In love, Snoopy is as much of a failure as Charlie Brown is at baseball. He easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works.
    Snoopy is an insightful(有洞察力的), feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little about his words, you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are “To live is to dance, to dance is to live.” And “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I’m a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There’s so little hope for advancement.”
    60. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
    A. Snoopy is always a sad dog
    B. Snoopy can't speak in the beginning
    C. Snoopy often dreams of true love       
    D. Snoopy is a real smart pet dog
    61. Snoopy has done all the following jobs EXCEPT ________.
    A. a lawyer               B. a player                    C. a clerk                            D. a writer
    62. It can be inferred that Snoopy ________.
    A. has many bird friends and relatives             B. is a well-known writer and clerk
    C. has been unfortunate since it was born        D. is very popular in the whole world
    63. The underlined word “advancement” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
    A. success                 B. progress                   C. growth                     D. popularity

    Failure is probably the most fatiguing (令人疲劳的)experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding, being blocked, not moving ahead. It is an evil circle. Failure causes fatigue, and fatigue makes it harder to get to work, which adds to the fatigue.
    We experience this tiredness in two main ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up. Either because it is too boring or because it is too difficult, we avoid it. And the longer we put it off, the more tired we feel.
    Such start-up fatigue is very real, even not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The remedy (治疗法) is obvious, though perhaps not easy to apply: willpower exercise. The moment I find myself turning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of things I have to do, I clear my desk of everything else and attack the difficult item first. To prevent start-up fatigue, always treat the most difficult job first.
    Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Here we are willing to get started, but we can't seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work, we fail again and again. The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can, then let the unconsciousness take over.
    72.. Which of the following can be called an evil circle？
    ??   A. Success-zeal-success-zeal.
    ??   B. Failure-tiredness-failure-tiredness.
    ??   C. Failure-zeal-failure-tiredness.
    ??   D. Success-tiredness-success-tiredness.
    73.. According to the passage , when keeping putting off a task, we can experience _______.
    ??   A. tiredness    B. performance fatigue   C. start-up fatigue   D. unconsciousness
    74.To overcome start-up fatigue, we need ________ .
    ??   A. toughness   B. prevention           C. muscles        D. strong willpower
    75.. The underlined word "insurmountable" in the last paragraph probably means ________ .
    ??   A. that can not be overcome             B. that are known
    ??   C. that can not be imagined               D. that can not be objected

    Attitudes differed to small errors of grammar and usage, or inappropriateness of vocabulary and idiom, with the native speakers finding such errors a little irksome(令人厌烦的)，though sometimes amusing, while the Chinese panel members paid hardly any attention to such errors as, for example, misuse of phrasal verbs and similar usages: “When I saw the job description, I decided to apply the position.” “I expect to find out a lot of challenge in the job.” “I can deal the emergency situations efficiently.”?
    Errors of idiom or appropriateness caused more comment, during the post interview discussion, from the native speakers than from the Chinese panel members, on whom the errors were sometimes lost. For example, one candidate, when asked what salary he expected, replied: “I don’t care about it.” The message was clear enough, namely that he was primarily interested in the job, but the formulation of the message was not quite right. Even such ribticklers(笑话)as “I am a well planned person .”and “I would like to expose myself in another field”(both actually heard at interviews) tended to cause lipbiting among the expatriate rather than the Chinese interviewers.?
    Panels with two Chinese and one expatriate used to be more common, but are becoming less common. The reason is that with more of the interview now being conducted in Chinese, the non Chinese speaker does not know what has already been asked and is liable to repeat in English questions that have already been covered in Chinese. This caused, naturally enough, confusion in the interviewee and can adversely affect the whole interview.?
    The sensible procedure would seem to be to open the interview in the mother tongue of the candidates, to put them at their ease, then at a later stage turn to English, to test English proficiency. In practice, however, possibly because of the problem mentioned in the previous paragraph when the panel contains a foreigner, it is often the reverse, with a few, fairly standard, opening questions in English, and if these are successfully answered, then the job interview properly gets underway in Cantonese.?
    One of the worst interview scenarios(方案)is when a foreigner who thinks she/he can speak Cantonese (but does so, in fact, badly) decides to question the interviewee in Cantonese. In other circumstances of a social nature the interviewee would no doubt politely compliment the foreigner on his or her good Cantonese, but in the seriousness of a job interview situation, the Chinese is confused and slightly embarrassed for the foreigner. These forays(初步尝试)into Chinese usually end pretty quickly with one of the Chinese members of the panel rescuing the foreigner and continuing the interview in English.?
    64．Concerning misuses of phrasal verbs,____.
    A．both Chinese and the native speakers of English find them amusing
    B．the Chinese interviewers tend to be tolerant
    C．the Chinese interviewers and the English native speaker interviewers often have a discussion
    D．might sometimes become a laughing stock to the native speakers of English but draw hardly any attention from the Chinese
    65．It is implied in the passage that ____.
    A．Chinese are generally liable to make mistakes in English grammar and vocabulary usage
    B．expatriate interviewers are generally more friendly with interviews
    C．braver candidates can often get the upper hand
    D．the candidates often deliver an improper message for the use of inappropriate expressions
    66．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．The non Chinese speaking interviewer might ask the questions which have already been asked by the Chinese and hence cause confusion.
    B．It is more practicable to start an interview with a few fairly standard questions in English before switching to Chinese.
    C．The best procedure of an interview would seem to be beginning in Cantonese and then testing English proficiency.
    D．The Chinese interviewee often politely compliments the foreign interviewer if he or she speaks cantonese if it is not actually so good in the interview.?
    67．This passage is mainly concerned with ____.
    A．whether language proficiency or work ability counts in job interviews
    B．how to avoid awkward situation in a job interview in HongKong
    C．the language used in a job interview with both Chinese and expatriate panel members
    D．the sensible procedure of getting on with an interview where the Chinese interviewee’s English is to be tested
