Mark felt that it was time for him, to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area' s city councilwoman(女議員) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.

    Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.

It was too much for Mark. "The problems are too big," he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here."

    Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. "People should just take care of themselves, "he decided. "That' s enough to do. I can' t take on all the problems of the world."

    As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn't have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks! "she said. "You've got great timing!"

    "Just being neighborly," Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus.  On one of them was "Small acts of kindness add up.  "Mark smiled and thought, "Maybe that's a good place to start."

Britain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave fast food scraps in the street , an environment group warned . Keep Britain Tidy said the rodents(嚙齒動(dòng)物) were stopping their traditional hunts underground and were roaming the streets ,tempted by discarded burgers ,pizzas and crisps. "The rat population is on the rise and soon it'll be as common to see a rodent on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat," said group Director ,Sue Nelson. The practice of dumping fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than in the trash-with young men the worst offenders-was behind the rise. According to the National Rodent Survey in 2005, Britain's rat population has grown by nearly one quarter since 2000 and is now estimated at 60 million , two million more than the human population. On average a rat can give birth every 24--28 days and just a single pair of rats can produce a colony of 2,000 a year. Around 200 people a year get Weil's Disease——an infection which can lead to liver or kidney(肝腎) failure and eventually death and which is arrived in rat's waste. To highlight the issue , Keep Britain Tidy launched a cinema ad entitled "How close do you want them to get?" The advertisement gave a shocking image of a young woman sleeping in a bed of rots, echoing the nightmare scene from James Herbert's classic horror tale The Rats, in which mutant rodents begin to prey on(捕食)humans.

64. Where did the rodents use to search for food?

A. In the Street .                      B. Under the ground.

    C. From the trash cans.                D. In burger shops.

65. What is the human population now according to the writer?

    A. 60 million.     B. 58 million.        C. 35 million.        D. 2 million.

66. We may infer from the passage that ________.

    A. Well's Disease will finally end the world

    B. pizzas and crisps will become poisonous

    C. rats will endanger human beings' life

    D. young people are to blame for the rat population

67. By writing the passage, the author tries to _________.

    A. close some of the burger and pizza restaurants

    B. draw the public attention to the problem of rats

    C. prevent the rats from growing up

    D. make advertisement for the classic horror film The Rats
