Anybody running a company knows that a well - planned conference can greatly improve performance of that business．The main reason for this is that it takes your employees away from the daily workplace and offers them somewhere fresh for a short time．However，unless the conference is well thought out it will not have the best results and you will have wasted a great deal of money．Here are some tips for you．
The first step is to find the right place．Can your employees easily reach the conference center? Is it near a railway station? Is it close to a good，fast road? Has it plenty of suitable parking space? If you are going to choose a hotel，then perhaps the hotel has cheaper rates at weekends or，if it is in a popular tourist area，midweek rates may be cheaper．Furthermore, you need to think whether there is a bathroom．After a day’s meeting，maybe your employees would like to have a hot water bath．Or maybe there are other needs to satisfy depending on your employees’ taste.
Another important requirement is food and drink. Breakfast is a time when people can relax before work begins，but you may not want a long break for lunch in the middle of the day．Buffet(自助餐) lunches are very popular for this reason．Then there is dinner，which most employees consider a reward for a day’s hard work!
Whatever your needs are，it is essential（基本的）to think ahead if you want a successful conference．
67. In the text the writer is trying to ________．
A. complain about a conference center
B. describe a good conference center he has been to

D. advise employees where to stay for a conference

A. find out about organizing conferences
B. learn how to reward good employees
C. find out about running a business
D. 1earn some details about conference centers
69.What is very important when choosing a conference center?
A. Cheap food and drink.                      B. Free car parking．
C. Good transport connections.                     D. Popular tour areas．
70.Which center would the writer recommend to an employer?

Making friends can be difficult, especially these days with so much peer pressure(同齡人之間的壓力). If you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends, become  genuinely(真誠(chéng)地) interested in other people. Show kindness. You may be wearing the latest  designer label clothes, the hottest brand shoes, and the coolest jewelry, but if you display sourness  and selfishness, you'll have a battle ahead of you to make good friends.Smile, smile and continue to smile. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, and  happens in a flash but the memory lasts forever, it creates happiness in the home and classroom. A smile can not be bought, begged or borrowed; it comes from the heart. If you want other people to   like you, make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely!Choose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take illegal drugs, steal,gamble, fight etc. dare to say NO. Doing the wrong thing is the quickest way to lose friends,especially honest, good and upright friends.
Being mentally strong is not always easy, but let me assure you that the more you practice it,__________. Soon those who thought they were trendy will want to dress like you, talk like  you and be with you, because you have a personality which is different. People like being different!By being an individual with your own personality, you can achieve the very best experiences in   your life.
You may not ever have many friends, but let me tell you that it is better to have one good  friend than ten dishonest friends who will stab(傷害)you in the back at the very first opportunity  that arises.

There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages.
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “ If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.(工資)”
The sailors had heard about the captain’ cheating, so they didn’t trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it.

There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.

The reading skills of young male students may improve more when huts are tutored (輔導(dǎo)) by women, a Canadian study shows, contradicting some school policies to hire male teachers to improve boys' literacy.
Herb Katz, an education professor at the University of Alberta, took 175 boys in the third and fourth grades, identified as struggling readers, and paired them with a research assistant who worked on their reading skills for 30 minutes a week over 10 weeks.
On average, the boys paired with female tutors felt better about their reading skills after the 10 weeks than those who were guided by a male research assistant, the study found.
Katz said the study, published in the US journal Sex Roles, may cause educational policy - makers in countries such as Australia and Britain to rethink policies that call for more male teachers to be hired to provide role models for boys whose reading skills fall behind their peers (同齡人). "It tells us that the way governments respond with policy is perhaps a little too quick and a little too simple," Katz said." Boys and girls enter kindergarten with similar reading skills, Katz said, but by the end of the third grade, boys have lower reading scores than girls. The reasons behind that difference are not entirely clear. "I don't know that reading skills fade so much as teachers may not recognize what boys are doing," he said. "We don't really know a lot about boys, even in those early years."
The boys involved in the study attended 12 schools in the City of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Most were from downtown neighborhoods. About a third were native Canadians and 55 percent came from ethnic minority groups.
60. What's the purpose of this passage?
A. To encourage boys to do more reading.             B. To persuade schools to hire female teachers.
C. To advise good ways for reading skills.              D. To provide some information about a study.
61. The underlined word "contradicting" in the first paragraph probably means"_________".
A. finding out       B. going against        C. standing by         D. bringing about
62. Which of the following is TRUE about the boys taking part in the study?
A. They have difficulty in reading.           B. They take no interest in reading.
C. They come from different Canadian cities.   D. They have no female teachers at school.
63. It can be known from the passage that _________.
A. women must be better al teaching than men
B. girls do more reading than boys
C. male teachers are preferred to help reading- troubled boys in Australia
D. governments will change their policy on hiring teachers

In 1909 an English newspaper offered £ 1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colourful.
One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.
The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’ m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight  across the Channel. Ten kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs (海關(guān)) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. “Have you anything to declare(報(bào)關(guān))?” The officer demanded.
48. Bleriot was well known as a pilot because ____ .
A. he was unusually brave
B. he was quite rich
C. he had many good ideas about aeroplane design
D. he had had a few accidents
49. Why did Hubert Latham want to fly across the Channel?
A. He thought he could manage it easily.
B. He wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel.
C. He knew he only had a year to live.
D. He had always been interested in flying.
50. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Latham became a pilot on the doctor’s advice.
B. He was told he could live another year.
C. His plane had some trouble.
D. He was saved by a boat when his plane was sinking.
