The tea gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates(种植园). The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.

Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing(加工) tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.

       Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill .There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required .For black tea ,the young green leaves are first spread out o shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this ,the leaves are passed through heavy rollers .This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste .Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment (发酵)under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea .The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves .The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.

68.In the first paragraph ,the word “pruning” means       .

       A.regular cutting of the plants

       B.frequent watering

       C.regular use of chemicals

       D.growing the plants high in the mountain

69.One of the reasons why women are employed to do the picking is that        .

       A.they work harder than men do in the picking

       B.they can throw their pickings more easily into the baskets

       C.their fingers fit them better for the job.

       D.they can more easily find the twin leaves.

70.How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?

       A.Three.                 B.Four.                   C.Five.                   D.Six.

71.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager (十几岁的孩子) problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.

I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round.Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed.“I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said.“He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”

He hasn't forgotten them. He' s just decided that he' s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.

Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.

“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad.Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.

71.This text is most probably written by ______.

A.a specialist in teenager studies             B.a headmaster of a middle school

C.a parent with teenage children              D.a doctor for mental health problems

A.the change from good to bad that ' s seen in a child

B.die way that parents often blame themselves

C.the opinion that a child has of his parents

D.the advice that parents want their children to follow

73.The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.

A.lazy                   B.quiet                  C.unusual              D.rude

74.From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.

A.pay no attention to them                      B.are too busy to look after them

C.have come to hate them                     D.feel helpless to do much about them

75.What is the author' a opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?

A.Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.

B.Parents should pay still sore attention to the change.

C.Parents should work more closely with school teachers.

D.Parents are at fault for the change in their children.

       Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise.Leadership means power,

commands respect and, most important, encourages achievement.Unlike vitamin C, leadership

skills can't be easily swallowed down.They must be carefully cultivated.

       Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born.They learn their skills in their everyday lives.But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?

       Always give credit.Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance

from others is to treat them like heroes.Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world.It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that's never forgotten.

Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism (批评) , which often

hurts rather than helps.Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees.

"Catch people doing something right!" he says.Then tell everyone about it.

       Take informed risks." The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,"

says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz."Sky divers don't go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes (降落伞) beforehand."

       Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait

for others to take charge.But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail - and not die a

thousand deaths.Pick yourself up and start all over again.

       Encourage enthusiasm (热情)."When people understand the importance of work, they lend

their mental strengths," says Lee Ducat.But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job.That's a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be

enthusiastic your-self - You will be followed by everyone.

60.The underlined word "cultivated" (paragraph 1) roughly means _______.

       A.encouraged          B.compared            C.examined             D.developed
61.The part Always give credit tells us that a leader should _______.

       A.give helpful criticism

       B.regard others as real heroes

       C.praise people for their good performances                             

       D.praise everyone

62.To be a good leader, you should _______.

       A.not be afraid of any risks

       B.think twice before taking risks

       C.try to avoid any possible failures

       D.know what a thoughtless exercise is
63.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

       A.Leadership Is of Skills and Techniques

       B.Leadership Is Very Important

       C.Not Many Can Be Leaders

       D.How to Be a Leader
