Every winter when the lake freezes (冻结) over for half the year, 80-year-old Lyubov Morekhodova straps (用带子系好) on the same ancient skates she’s worn since the 1940s and glides (滑行) across the ice wherever she needs to go.Lyubov has been using the ice to travel around her faraway home for her whole life. As a child, she skated about 2.5 miles each way to school and back. She once fell through the ice and was luckily saved by her classmates.Now Lyubov lives alone in a small house on the shores of Lake Baikal. Her children and five grandchildren seldom visit her because they live five hours away by car. She has to look on a group of dogs, cows and chickens as her friends. Luckily, she has the ice to help her feel free! “For me, ice means being able to go anywhere and everywhere,” the grandmother said.Every day, she skates half an hour each way to the local village to do her shopping. Withtemperatures often reaching lows of-40 C, it’s hard for an old woman to live a normal life! But Lyubov says that her daily skates are the secret to her long life span (寿命). “People keep telling me I should slow down, but I just can’t!” She said with a laugh. “I don’t have time to be bored; there’s too much work to do.”根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many simple dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life thirteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes too.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern." says Vera Stepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No.1.Although Mattel isselling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In March, , Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbie.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 55th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbies. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls?

Over 20million years ago, the Baiji River Dolphin left the sea, swam up the Changjiang River and has lived there ever since. It has smaller eyes than other kinds of dolphins because the Changjiang River has many small piece of earth in it. The small size helps to protect its eyes. However, because it has such small eyes, it can not use its eyes to find food. Instead, this kind of dolphin uses sound waves (声波) to find food. This makes it so unusual.About 2200 years ago, there were thousands of dolphins in the Changjiang River, but today, not many people can see the dolphins. Their population（人口）has gone from 150. Scientists say that the dolphin population has gone down because the population of people on the Chnagjiang River has gone up. They also say that the new dam (大坝) on the river is also making the dolphin die because it doesn’t have food to eat.Scientists have tried different things to save this “panda in the water,” but nothing has helped. What would you do to save this kind of dolphin if you had a chance?( ) 11.

So people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective(形容词) “fashionable” in the same way, “She was wearing a fashionable color.” But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and in books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An Englishman in 1750 looked different from his grandson in 1860.

Local TransportationPrivate automobiles remain the most common form of local transportation in the United States, although the situation may be changing significantly in the next few years as a result of the continuing energy crisis. The cost of operating an automobile has become prohibitive for some people in the United States --- especially students and others with limited means.Owning and operating an automobile in the United States is a serious responsibility, and students should consider carefully before deciding to learn to drive or to buy a car. People who own automobiles must have a valid license for driving in the state in which they reside, insurance (which is very expensive - with premiums amounting to hundreds of dollars annually), and registration (the car must be registered by the state in which its owner lives). In addition, some states’ have a personal property tax that adds to both the initial price of the car and the cost of maintaining it each year.International driver's licenses may be used temporarily to allow persons from other countries to drive their cars in the United States.But students who plan to remain in the United States for more than a few months should obtain a driver's license from the state in which they reside.When purchasing a car, it is advisable for the foreign student to be accompanied by an American who is familiar with the procedures involved, price ranges, and so forth. In order to operate the car that the student has purchased, it will be necessary to purchase automobile insurance. There are a large number of insurance companies that sell such insurance and a wide variety of automobile insurance policies and related services available to automobile owners in the United States.Buses, Subways, Commuter TrainsThe type and extent of rapid transit service available in a given town or city in the United States depends on the size (population, area), terrain and wealth of a community. Bus, subway, and commuter train fares generally are higher than in otherTransportationThe automobile is the most popular means of transportation. More than 123.46 million passenger cars are in operation. About 10 million passenger cars, trucks and buses come off the assembly lines every year, and the manufacture of motor vehicles and allied production is a $ 200,000 million industry.The automobile has brought many changes in American life---for example, the remarkable growth of the suburbs in the past 25 years. Many persons who work in the cities now enjoy country living because of good roads and use of the automobile.Heavy use of the nation's highways has created a demand for roadside business of various kinds, including outdoor movie theaters where audiences watch films from their automobiles, and convenient roadside hotels known as "Motels". Motels are usually located on main roads near cities and at seaside and other resort areas. They are made up of a series of bedroom-and-bath units and nearby parking spaces. Many of the units are equipped with television and air-conditioning. Restaurants and swimming pools are available at most of the large motels. The number of motels has grown so rapidly in recent years that their total annual income has surpassed that of American hotels.Throughout the United States there are some 5,270,000 kilometers of hard surface roads, and more than 1 million kilometers of other roads. A 68,400-kilometer interstate system of freeways crisscrosses the country, linking all major cities.Buses have replaced streetcars for public transportation in most cities and towns. The suburban areas usually have railroad or bus transportation to neighboring towns. Buses are often used by travelers for long trips. Fares are less than on railroads or airlines, and many of the large, modern buses provide restrooms on board.The airplane is a popular means of travel, with 12,700 civil airports and more than 246.7 million passengers a year. There are 37 scheduled airlines. Twenty-six regional control centers direct air traffic between cities.About a decade ago, the U. S. Government took over most of the railroad passenger routes from private companies which were losing money on passenger service. Consolidation of routes and modern equipment provided by the government has improved passenger service, but it still does not break even financially. (Neither makes a profit nor loses money)。

The elder brother had many children to feed. The younger brother also had a big family to look after. Although the brothers were poor, they lived happily.One year, there was a drought(干旱) and the corn didn't grow well. The two brothers collected their small harvest and stored the grain in their barns(谷仓).That night, the elder brother couldn't sleep. He was worried about his brother. Would he have enough grain to feed his family? At last, the elder brother got out of bed. He went to hisbarn and filled a bag with grain. Then he went silently to his brother's house and secretly added the grain to his brother's pile(堆).Every night, he did the same thing. He took some of his own grain and added it to his brother's store. But after a while, he noticed something strange.

Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese has become a hot one: the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0. 25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week is normal. Also, you can buy a small amount(数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing(储存) food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.()70. Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because____.A. the weather there is hot and wetB. food goes bad quicklyC. the weather there is cold and dryD. they live far away from markets()71.
