A
I got my first driver's license in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland Two weeks before my 20th birthday. Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Catrolina driver's license ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. "Mr. Henry Smith your husband. to sign for you," he said.

I argued. pointing to a very large belly of mine, "I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?" He answered coldly, "It's the law, madam?"

Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it.

"No" I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.

I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail — using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland and I had to take the Maryland driver's exam Since then I just go in and renew every four years - sign the name Susan Brown have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.

B
About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings.

Instead, they receive their elementary and high school education byworking at home on computers. The center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public "cyberschools" and that is about twice as many as two years ago.

The money for students to attend a cybersehool comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.

Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.

Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cyberschool called CommonwealthConnectionsAcademy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.

Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.

Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students finished studies at WesternPennsylvaniaCyberCharterSchool recently met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.

59. What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?
A. They have to take long bus rides to school.

C. doubtful about the qualityof cyberschoois
D. disappointed at the development of cyberschools

C
Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车). But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.

In the early days of the automobile, almost every ear maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.

The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.

The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modem engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one."

The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals，They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.

63. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?
A. He made good use of ideas from others.
B. He produced the first car in the world.
C. He knew how to improve auto parts.
D. He invented the production line.
64. Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?
A. To show off his driving skills.
B. To draw public attention.
C. To learn about new technology.
D. To raise money for his new company.
65. "That sale" in Paragraph 4 refers to_________.
A. the selling of Ford cars at reduced prices
B. the sale of Model T to the mass of people
C. the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor
D. the sales target for the Ford Company
66. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?
A. Producing cars for average customers.
B. Building racing cars of simple design.
C. Designing more car models.
D. Starting more companies.

D
The Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that would give every American the right to a place to call home. according to the Coalition's studies, of over two hundred million people living in the United States, up to three million are homeless—and the number is still growing since the late 1970s, fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(经济衰退) have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and or unable to find new affordable homes. according to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. The old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. A much larger part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application

67. The word "address" in the first line probably means_________.
A. talk about
B. deal with
C. fight for
D. write to
68. How many people are homeless in the U. S. according to the Coalition studies?
A. 39% of the population.
B. 200 million people.
C. About 3 million people.
D. About one-fifth of the population.
69. Homelesspeople often have difficulty finding a job because_________.
A. they have no home addresses
B. they mostly have a drinking problem
C. they aren't supported by government programs
D. they often don't have enough work experience
70. What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U. S. ?
A. The passing of new housing laws.
B. The fast growth of family size.
C. The slow construction of houses.
D. The ever-rising price of housing.
