There are many things that you should be careful with when you are alone at home. Read the following tips to protect yourself.
First, Keep the door locked when you are alone at home. Many people think it’s the best way to 46 themselves. Second, Keep a list of phone numbers to call for help, such as 110, the police station or a neighbour’s number. Third, be careful with the electrical appliances. If you don’t know how to use them, ask your parents. Make a safety check 47 going to sleep. Finally, Look through the keyhole when you hear the doorbell. If there are strangers, ask “Who’s that?” with the door locked and say “Come back 48 ” Don’t tell them that your parents are away. Say “Mum’s having a shower.” Or “Dad’s having a sleep.” To ignore the doorbell is not a good idea because sometimes bad people ring doorbells to see 49 anyone’s at home.

On a freezing January morning, Myron opened the library in Iowa. She heard a cat cry and finally found a yellow kitten in a pile of books.
“His little feet were frozen,” Myron recalls. “We gave him a bath to warm him up and he purred the whole time so that we know he liked us very much.”
That was 1988 and it was a story for Dewey, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever since. “His story has a life of its own, we have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Dewey. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him. ”Shortly after the kitten’s rescue, a photo of the library’s “new employee” appeared in local newspapers. Local people were invited to vote for the name of the kitten. “We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasn’t even a prize,” Myron says with a laugh.
Dewey grew from a popular local “library employee” to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 125 libraries across America. Most live and “work” in comfortable, small town libraries where they don’t get lost in the books. Library cats used to make a living by catching rats, but library cats have more duties: to a make the library a pleasant place.
“Library cats just create a nice, warm atmosphere ***氣氛***,” says Gary Roma, producer of Puss in Books, the film about library cats. “The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe can’t have pets in their apartments,” Roma says. “Books, libraries, and cats just go together.”
69. The cat Dewey was found by Myron in the ______ of 1988.
A*** spring B*** summer C*** autumn D*** winter
70. The underlined word “purr” in the second paragraph means “____”.
A*** feel angry B*** feel happy C***feel hungry D*** feel sleepy
71. A contest was held after the kitten’s rescue to ______ the cat.
A*** win B*** name C*** film D*** feed
72. Library cats can do many things including ______.
A*** acting for a film B*** catching rats
C*** making people pleased D*** All of the above
73. Puss in books was ______.
A*** a book about cats B*** a film about Dewey
C*** a film about library cats D*** a film about popular libraries
74. From the passage we can infer ***推斷*** that ______.
A*** Library cats only attract children and old people
B*** Dewey is one of the cats who live among books.
C*** Library cats are not as popular as they used to be
D*** Every library in America has at least one cat

Doing experiments is one of the most interesting things about studying chemistry. In China, it’s often teachers who do the experiment in the front of the class with students ______. But in the US, students take action by themselves.
The first time I took a class in my school’s chemistry lab, I was surprised to find that students were wearing special glasses, plastic gloves, as if there had been a bio-chemical attack! ______ is always the most important for science lab classes in America. The outfit ***裝備*** prevents us from harmful chemical materials.

During the class, she first ______ the steps of the experiments and then puts us into groups to do the experiments. What’s special is that for every lab class, she changes everyone’s partner to let us work with ______ classmates.
The class is often filled with laughs. Once we tried to burn chemicals. The chemicals produced many colors of flames***火焰***, ______ bright orange and dark green. Many students in my class were amazed. “Wow! That’s so beautiful!” they screamed.
After finishing an experiment, we need to write a detailed report. It consists of the steps, our feelings and the final results. If there has been a mistake in the experiment, we need to analyze ***分析*** why it happened and ______ we should do to correct it. The reports are important. They make up around 25 percent of our term grade.
*** ***75. A. playing B. watching C. singing D. sleeping

What will the home of the future look like? A team of architects in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive.
They have designed “spaceflats” that are only 30 square metres in size. These flats have small rooms: a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, as well as a balcony ***陽臺***, but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.
The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed.

The balcony has enough space for two people to sit and you may see an amazing fountain on it . All the rooms have high ceiling to provide as much storage ***儲存*** space as possible, while the flat has large windows to let in plenty of sunlight.

From Heathrow, get on the underground Line 1. You’ll pass a lot of stations, but you need to get off at London Library. From there, you should take the Line 2 to Oxford Street. It’s only one stop, so don’t miss it! At Oxford Street, you have to change again. You need get on the red Central Line. Make sure you get the right platform. My house is really close to Mail Station – it’s really convenient. Just give me a call when you arrive and I’ll come to meet you! It’s not the shortest route here, but I think it’s the simplest. If you have any problems, just ask the other passengers. The underground staff will always help you, too.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Love,
Sally

We all know that people lived in caves long ago. It is a traditional way of many European people. Living in these homes is more comfortable than you might think. Nowadays thousands of people in southern Spain and central Turkey still live in cave homes.
They are naturally cool in summer and warm in winter. There are windows and doors. Many cave homes have telephones, and some even have fax and Internet connections. In Spain, there is also a desktop computer in each room. Perhaps the most modern cave in the world can be found in the Loire valley of France. For hundreds of years, the cave areas have been used to store wine and grow mushrooms. In recent years, all the caves have been fitted with nice conveniences like running water and electricity. There’s even a restaurant that serves 5-course meals.
If you travel to some of these places, you can even find hotels that are in caves. In a village in Turkey, for example, staying in a cave house may cost you around US$200 for 3 days.

For example, when someone marries, we put up some red paper-cuts on the wall, dressing table or other furniture to express our best wishes.
It is easy to learn paper-cutting but very difficult to make it perfect. We need a long-time practice to learn how to use the scissors and how to paint. Moreover, we need to learn some cutting skills.
At present, in many parts of China, paper-cutting skill has become a must for women and a symbol of a clever mind.
