So，a few years ago，I wrote my own textbook．Compared to most other public speaking books，mine is half the number of pages，and one-third the price．That is，$30 instead of $90．When I wrote a second edition last year，students only had to buy the 35 new pages, For only $7．00，they had almost a new book. Now my loose-leaf textbook enjoys great popularity among the students．Maybe in the future more writers and publishers will try it．”    60．What did Dr. Jason say about students at college?A. They are short of money．     B. They need better textbooksC. They should do part-time jobs． D. They are trying to get high scores．61．What did Dr．Jason decide to do to help the students?A. To choose cheaper textbooks．  B. To write a textbook himself．C. To speak to his students.     D. To use old textbooks．62．How much does a public speaking textbook usually cost?A.  About 7 dollars.      B. About 30 dollars.C．About 37 dollars．      D. About 90 dollars．63．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Dr Jason's textbook has CD-ROMs and nice pictures.B. More writers and publishers will write simpler textbooks．C. Dr．Jason teaches public speaking at a college．D. Dr-Jason’s textbook is not well received． C Wanted，Someone for a Kiss We’re looking for producers to join us on the sound of London Kiss 100 FM．You’ll work on the station’s music programs．Music production experience in radio is necessary，along with rich knowledge of modern dance music．Please apply in writing to Producer Vacancies，Kiss 100． Father Christmas We’re looking for a very special person，preferably over 40，to fill our Father Christmas suit． Working days：Every Saturday from November 24 to December 15 and every day from December 17 to December 24 except Sundays，10∶ 30 －16∶ 00． Excellent pay． Please contact the Enterprise Shopping Centre，Station Parade，Eastbourne． Accountants AssistantWhen you join the team in our Revenue Administration Unit，you will be providing assistance within all parts of the Revenue Division，dealing with post and other general duties．If you are educated to GCSE grade C level we would like to talk to you．This position is equally suitable for a school leaver or for somebody who has office experience． Wealden District Council Software TrainerIf you are aged 24—45 and have experience in teaching and training，you could be the person we are looking for．You should be good at the computer and have some experience in program writing．You will be allowed to make your own decisions，and to design courses as well as present them．Pay upwards of ￡15，000 for the right person．Please apply by sending your CV （简历）to Mrs．R．Oglivie，Palmlace Limited．64．Who should you get in touch with if you hope to work in a radio station?  A．Wealden District Council． B．Producer Vacancies，Kiss 100．  C．The Enterprise Shopping Centre． D．Mrs Oglivie，Palmlace Limited．65.

The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first “World Laughter Day” gathering took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th January, 1998. 12,000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are over 5,000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.    “HAPPY—DEMIC” was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January, two years after the Mumbai gathering. In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 10,000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World Records. “World Laughter Day” is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.    Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound over -ambitious(野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.    Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body-because it’s good for you.68.

Different people may give different answers to this question. In my opinion, it is essential to do the following.First, it is absolutely necessary to take some exercise at regular time every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise can make the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder. This strengthens the heart, reduces the chance of heart attack, and helps lower blood pressure. That’s why more and more people are becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercise. Every morning many people get up early and take much exercise. Some play ball games while others run, jog, walk or dance to music. In the afternoon, there are also many people keen on sports. Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger.Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health. They advise people to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry(家禽) and fish. Fat can build up in the arteries(动脉), block the flow of  blood, and cause a heart attack or stroke（中风）.Getting rid of bad habits like smoking and drinking alcohol is also an important way to keep healthy. Smoking and drinking alcohol injure one’s health a great deal, and therefore should be given up. Unfortunately few people follow this advice.  第二节  书面表达(满分25分).假若如你是新华中学的学生李华。周五下午，你最喜欢的Carter教授将举行题为“How to be a good language learner”的报告，但你因在新东方（New Orient）培训学校学习不能参加。请你根据以下提示给你的同学David写一封电子邮件：     1.解释原因：     2.表达遗憾；     3.要求Daivd对报告内容录音。     注意：     1.词数：120字左右。     2.可适当增加细节以使行文连贯。
