When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 41 . Some stories are old 42 they were true. Real people who live in a 43 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 44 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 45 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 46 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we 47 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 48 Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 49 . When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page. We use our 50 — which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way— to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy (幻想) 51 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 52 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 53 that we are real and they are 54. It sounds 55, but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 56 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 57 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 58 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 59 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 60 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books. 41. A. possible B. easy C. new D. different 42. A. that B. what C. whether D. as if 43. A. usual B. normal C. certain D. common 44. A. realistic B. reasonable C. moral D. instructive 45. A. difficult B. impossible C. important D. necessary
D. I like it

From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions. It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided; when to attack and when to run away. The animal is, in fact, playing a very dangerous game with its environment(环境), a game in which it must make decisions—a matter of life or death .
Animals’ ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遗传性的)learning”, which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a species —animals of the same kind—as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past. The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game . Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next, it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning.
In the great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with .That is why animals can survive.
66. The animal’s life will come to an end ____. A. if the animal makes a wrong decision B. if the animal plays a dangerous game C. when the animal attacks its enemy D. when the animal runs too slowly 67. Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because ____. A. each generation has its own way of learning B. their environments change all the time C. they can act reasonably on their own D. it takes their whole life to learn
68. When the environment doesn’t change much, ____. A. animals cannot act in a right way B. genetic learning is less important for animals C. individual learning plays a less important role D. animals cannot get over problems on their on their own 69. Animals’ living on generation after generation depends on ____. A. their natural action pattern with their own experience B. the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime C. their experience in particular environments D. the knowledge passed on by their parents

The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U.S., many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.

D
One silly question I simply can't stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He'll probably say, “Fine, I'm all right,” but you have put a bug (小虫子) in his ear—maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked (忽略) that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place. It's perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no asking him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him. “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you're dead.”
74. According to the writer, greetings such as “How do you feel?” ____.
A. show one's consideration for others B. are a good way to make friends
