May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States. This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall. But according to a recent report, there is a great change. Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever.      71  

   These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier.    72    On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time. Students may not like being put on waiting lists. Also, common colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them. Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight. Some universities send gifts.     73     

For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money, especially this year; the weak economy makes parents nervous.     74   The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected student’s loans. So lately, top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students.

    75     The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down. This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finish high school. The number is not expected to start rising again until 2015.

A. Besides, top colleges are facing changes in the population.

B. What contributes to it?

C. But a mistake can be costly if it happens.

D. But top colleges ignore them.

E. They have international students who know English.

F. It can mean several acceptances to choose from.

G. They cannot afford college as planned.

61. _____________

       There are many occasions（場合） for giving gifts in modern industrialinzed societies;birthdays,naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year, It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one’ s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift fiving.

62._____________

       What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social oblingation（義務(wù)）.

63.__________

       Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special.”We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.”Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would frrl comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages－often very expressive ones.

64. ___________

       People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house.These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:“I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,”the woman said,“because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.”The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and

65. _________

       Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.

Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _73_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
_74 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 75 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? __76__ But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(創(chuàng)造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “ What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”

__77__ Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.

Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. __78__ Now this seed(果實(shí)) is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate(聯(lián)系) a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity. __79__ Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. __80__ Go and get a book!

A．The interesting part of the book is stored(存儲) in your mind as a seed.

B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.

D．Now what are you waiting for?

E.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.

F.Reading can help you make more friends, too.

G.Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.

  73  So I volunteer to company the elderly persons who live alone. I met Malcolm, who’s physically healthy.  74  He is also interested in my work. He often says “You can get caught up being the CEO of a half-billion-dollar software company very quickly.”
