The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. 72. ____________

Many of the world’s pollution problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into the cities. Supply for the needs of the people leads to further pollution by industry. If the rapid increase of world population in countries continues at the present rate, there may be much greater harm to human beings. Some scientists speak of the increase in numbers of people as “population pollution.”
About 2,000 years ago, the world population was probably about 250 million. It reached a billion in 1850. By 1930 the population was two billion. It is now three and a half billion. It is expected to double by the year 2,000. If the population continues to grow at the same rate, there will be 25 billion in the world a hundred years from now.
Man has been using the earth’s resources more and more rapidly over the past years. Some of them are almost used up. Now many people believe that man’s greatest problem is how to control the growth of the population. The material supplies in the world will be far from enough to support the human population in time to come, if the present rate of increase continues. Already there is overcrowding in many cities and starvation in some countries. Should man’s population keep on growing so rapidly as before? Many people believe that human survival in the future depends on the answer to this question.The rapid increase in population is considered to be __________.
| A.the increase of resources | B.population pollution |
| C.the development of mankind | D.the present rate |
If the present rate of increase continue, ________________.
| A.the world is going to end |
| B.the earth won’t be able to support the growing population in the future |
| C.pollution has nothing to do with the rapidly increasing population |
| D.there would be four billion in the world a hundred years from now |
Which of the following is Wrong according to the passage?
| A.In 1850 the world population reached a billion. |
| B.Man must fight a battle against population pollution. |
| C.The world’s population is increasing with years. |
| D.All of the earth’s resources are gone now. |

In so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors the real world. Some people ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. 71 Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. 72 So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation (对话). 73
But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. 74 Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask.
75 Others fail miserably.
| A.Instead, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really matters. |
| B.Others buy and sell products. |
| C.They’re looking for serious love relationships. |
| D.But cyberspace is different from the real world in some aspects (方面). |
E. Some of these relationships actually succeed.
F. Where else can so many people come together to chat?
G. Chatting online isn’t always reliable (可靠的).
Throughout our childhood our parents taught us to say “thank you” and it has become a habit — something we say automatically (自动地), along with “please”. And because of this we have forgotten just how important gratitude is and how essential it is in leading fulfilled (感到满足的) lives.
Just for a minute, think of all the things you are grateful for, such as loving friends, good health, great holidays as well as everyday items such as a comfortable home, TV, and clean water. The list, in fact, could go on and on.
Now focus on events that have made you angry — it’s raining, the car won’t start, and a colleague (同事) makes you annoyed. You start to feel unhappy, and that is something that certainly does not make you feel good!
In fact, we have the ability to choose how we feel — it’s just our perception (认识) of how things are. But for most of us, it just doesn’t seem easy.
Let me give you an example: it’s a rainy day, and immediately most people will start to complain, telling everyone who will listen what a miserable day it is, with the result that they end up feeling miserable themselves. But look at it another way and despite wet clothes and hair, both will dry perfectly well and no lasting harm has been done. And in addition to this, because of rain, we not only live in a green and beautiful landscape, we are also able to grow a lot of fruit and vegetables.
There really is no obvious reason for feeling miserable — in fact there is a great deal to be grateful for. It all depends on what we think about things.
Realize what a difference having gratitude can make to your life. That’s why gratitude is so special — use it to feel good!What do we usually do automatically according to the author?
| A.Focus on good things. | B.Prefer to feel good. |
| C.Express thanks orally. | D.Take many things for granted. |
By the example in the fifth paragraph, the author advises us to _____.
| A.see things in a different way | B.refuse the unchangeable things |
| C.ignore the harm bad weather does | D.listen to others’ complaints patiently |

| A.to think twice before we act |
| B.to be grateful for what we have |
| C.it is no use making complaints |
| D.saying “thank you” has many disadvantages |
