But we will go to see his picture.”    They went to Mr. White’s house. There were nothing but red beautiful curtains on the wall. The old man asked, “Where is your picture, Mr. White?” He said, “Lift the curtains, and you will find my picture.” The old man tried to lift the curtains but found that they were drawn there.

He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him. The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”“No, sir,” the men answered. The director was angry. “Why not?”  he asked. “Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.” “That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.60.

The underlined word “combat” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.A. discuss          B. identify     C. fight     D. present DA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone’s else or ourselves --- the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.67．The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________. A．words have a lasting effect on us B．inspiring words give us confidence C．negative words may let us down   D．not sticks and stones but words will hurt us  68．There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _______.    A．almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves B．talking to ourselves always gives us courage  C．we can benefit from talking to ourselves D．it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone69．The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _______. A．remind ourselves    B．praise ourselves C．make ourselves relaxed D．give ourselves amusement70．The author would probably hold the view that ___________. A．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers B．negative words may stimulate us to make more progress C．people tend to remember friendly words D．it is better to think twice before talking to othersEChinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as “geilivable” might find a new regulation very “ungeilivable”. The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language. “Geilivable”, combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the English suffix (后缀) for adjectives, literally means “giving power” or “cool”. Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. “Hengeilivable” means “very cool”, and “ungeilivable” means “dull, not cool at all”.Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. One example is “antizen”, which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants.David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it’s very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. “English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” Tool said.At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern. “The administration is totally ‘ungeilivable’,” said a netizen named laoda1713. “I know other netizens will shed tears with me... it is a good chance to enrich our language.”“Language is always developing,” said a columnist, Wang Pei. “It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom.”But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.71. The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed at  _________.   A. simplifying the Chinese language B. limiting the development of languageC. banning the use of Chinglish in the publicationD. making the netizens more serious72. The underlined word “meager” in the third paragraph probably means________.        A. poor    B. flexible   C. high   D. plentiful73. From this passage we can infer that__________.        A. the Chinese people like their own language onlyB. the English words are considered informal in ChinaC. nobody in China will support the new regulationD. “geilivable” is popular among Chinese netizens74. Which may be the best title of this passage?   A. Cyber Words Face an Ungeilivable Regulation.B. Cyber Words Make Language More Lively.C. Different Views about Cyber Language.D. New Netizens in China.75. On which column of China Daily can you find this passage?    A. Entertainment.          B. Business.        C. Travel .        D.
