When I was at university, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Students' Union than working in the library.

      Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question, we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan.

      "It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I'll take a coin into the examination room. I haven't studied a chemistry book for months, so I'll just toss the coin. That way, I'm sure I'll get half the questions right."

      The next day Fred came cheerfully into the examination room. He sat tossing a coin for half an hour as he marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.

      The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor .

      "Oh, good," he said. "Have you got the result of the test? What mark did I get?"

      The professor looked at him and smiled.

      "Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute."

      Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.

      "I'm terribly sorry, Baines," he said, "you failed."

1. Fred Baines _______.

A. spent quite some time working in the Students' Union

      B. he didn't think the test was so important for him

      C. someone had promised to help him out

      D. he believed he had found out a way to pass the test without any difficulty

3. The professor told Baines the result of the test by tossing a coin because _______.

      A. he hadn't marked all the papers yet

               71   You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however.

Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:

     Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.   72   A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.

     Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

     Make good use of your time in class.   73   Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

     Study regularly.  When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material    74    If you do these things regularly,  the material will become more meaningful, and you'll remember it longer.

     Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.  They help you remember your new knowledge.  The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be over worried.

  75   You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

B. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

C. Take advantage of class time to listen to what the teacher says.

D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

E. Maybe you are an average student.

F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.

G. This will help you understand the next class.

Why should we elect him _________mayor? I mean last year he was elected as _________ member of the Congress and he has failed to keep any promise he made during the election.

The House Fairy

   As young parents, my husband and I felt that at age 6 and 8, our children were old enough to be cleaning their rooms and making their beds. But they thought   36  . My complaints, repeating myself, even self-justified shouting were landing on   37    ears. I felt frustrated (沮喪的) , and very often a whole afternoon’s scolding would end with their   38   into tears, I realized I needed to   39   my methods of “mothering”.

   One day while they were at school, I had great fun   40   their rooms. On their desks, in plain   41  , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was   42   to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy.”   43   arriving back, the children were   44   excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy         45   for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   46   asking them to play a certain violin   47  . Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas   48  .

   Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little   49  : “If you can finish your homework today and   50   it before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   51

of jobs especially well done the day   52  .

      53   I can’t remember how long “the House Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate (合適的), we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the   54   centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.

   We all benefited from and   55   the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

Beijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots（停車場）beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.

The plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic jams. Low or no parking fees would be used as economic leverage（杠桿作用）to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.

Car owners living in the suburbs（郊區(qū)）will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the city’s traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometre downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 percent of the city’s total area.

The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hour every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.

According to the communication commission, half of the city’s investment in transportation will go towards public transit（公共交通）construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 percent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout（布局）by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.

The current layout of Beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial centre, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.

Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.

1. In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to ____.

A. take buses or subways       B． take a taxi

C. drive the car quickly        D． park his car in a place which asks for no fees

2. According to this passage, while more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to ____.

A. save time                     B． cause traffic jams

C. cause traffic accidents           D． reduce air pollution

3. The aim in building new city centers is to ____.

A. make it convenient for people to go shopping   B． develop its local resources

C. reduce the traffic flow to the downtown       D． solve the problem of more laid-off workers

4. The passage suggests the author ____.

A. is tired of driving to work

B. finds it costs less to take subways than to drive

C. is for the plan to reduce Beijing’s traffic congestion

D. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every day
