    Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh．The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21．Hundreds more are missing or feared dead．
    The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country．The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferries，MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to. About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said．The second ferry carried about 100 passengers．
    “The number of deaths is certain to rise．”said an official in charge of the rescue work．“No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived.” Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board． Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes，falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats． Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh，as are boating accidents．Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people． Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions．Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh．It is a country covered by about 230 rivers．Some 20,000 ferries use the nation’s Waterways every year．And many of them are dangerously overcrowded．Since 1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents．
    63．________ passengers was MV Mitali designed to carry?
    A.500   B.100   C.400   D.300
    64．Officials blame boating accident on ________
    A. strong winds．             B. bad weather conditions．
    C. the blockages of waterways． D. the lack of safety measures．
    65．Which of the following statements is NOT true of the two ferry disasters?
    A. They were overcrowded． B. They sank on April 21．
    C. The exact number of deaths could be easily determined．
    D. They sank somewhere near Dhaka．

    Some couples spend every waking minute together. Others fill their hours with personal hobbies,outside interests and even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other! "There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen Treat at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia."You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."
    The right balance? It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult,but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Treat says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple?' "
    Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close—including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time—they each maintain separate interests and friendships.
    "We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere. Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented(航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group of our friends. I may be with him during the poker night, but I don't play, and the wives usually watch a chick flick' DVD or something while the poker group has an evening of fun. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."
    小题1:The author writes the passage to ______.
    A．offer some suggestions on how to spend the time after retirement
    B．advise couples to develop their separate hobbies
    C．warn couples not to be accusing each other
    D．give people some advice on how to entertain themselves after retirement
    小题2: Dr. Stephen suggests that _________after retirement.
    A．couples stay together all the time
    B．couples express their feelings in a loving way
    C．couples be separate
    D．wives make many friends
    小题3:It can be inferred that________.
    A．many couples are faced with problems after retirement
    B．America has a large population of retired people
    C．most people join various social groups after retirement
    D．playing poker is a popular activity among retired people
    小题4:Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.
    A．having dinner regularly
    B．holding parties
    C．having weekly vacations at the beach
    D．having fun playing poker
    小题5:The second paragraph is mainly intended to_______.
    A．warn the husband not to act as a judge
    B．suggest couples have discussions about difficulties
    C．suggest how to keep the correct balance
    D．require couples to be considerate

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
    “What are you doing home already?” I asked casually.
    “Andrew, I was laid off today,” he answered, quietly.
    I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you really home?”
    Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. Providing for our family has been his joy, and I guess I had taken his work for granted.
    My father’s unemployment created many changes in our lives. For starters, he was home all the time, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be optimistic. For the first time, I saw my dad as vulnerable. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn’t much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job.
    After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he expended.
    One evening I asked if he needed help.
    “Only if it doesn’t interfere with school,” he said.
    I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really impacted me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B, ask for help, and take risks. What I have learned from my dad’s understanding of business and his work ethic are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn, and will be my foundations for success.
    41.   The author’s father stayed at home because __________.
    A. he had to help with the author’s lessons
    B. his boss had stopped employing him
    C. heavy house work was waiting for him to do
    D. he wanted to search for new jobs on line
    42.   What made the author know the truth?
    A. The box from his dad’s office.      B. His father’s words.
    C. His father’s expression_r_r.                  D. Being informed by his family.
    43.   The author’s attitude toward his father’s former job was __________.
    A. unconcerned   B. sympathetic   C. doubtful   D. tolerant
    44.   By saying “Only if it doesn’t interfere with school,” the author’s father seemed ____________.
    A. to refuse the author’s advice on the new business
    B. to show his discontent with the author’s schoolwork
    C. to have said yes to the author’s offer of help
    D. to be looking forward to the author’s good behavior at school
    45.   It can be inferred from the text that ___________.
    A. the author’s father was more optimistic to stay at home
    B. the author couldn’t put up with his dad’s own business
    C. the author’s father offered little allo wance to the author
    D. the author benefited from his father on how to deal with adversity
