This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.In 1970, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory or hostel for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby. This was the first hostel.Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they only have to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit them to use the facilities of hostel all over the world for very low prices.Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just by meeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent “hostelling” can be just as useful a part of one’s education as classes in school.68. In the second paragraph, the author says “The idea was a success”, which means_____.A. the schoolmaster made a lot of money and got very richB. the schoolmaster became very famous for his young childrenC. more and more young students went to the schoolhouse in the following years for summerholidaysD. many young children became students of this school each year and began to study thereduring summer holidays69. According to the passage, young people can pay less for their stay in the hostelif__________.A. they get to know each other in the hostelB. they can prove that they joined the hostel organizationC. they have brought enough equipment with themD. they can prove that they are from a foreign country70. Which do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Youth OrganizationsB. Learning while hostellingC. International TravelD.

I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop 36 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 38 interfered with how I spent it, even when I was spending it 39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 40 , I would become more mature and 41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.Like many 42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 43 a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 44 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 45 for me. In the end, my father won the 46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 47 through the country who could 48 shelter and help if I needed them.Three years later, my younger brother decided to 49 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not 50 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 51 year working his way on trains and ships to 52 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries butin the US they are fairly 53 . Most parents start 54 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have 55 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.36.
