HANGZHOU－As a major province neighboring Shanghai, Zhejiang is set to benefit from the Expo in the city this year in more ways than one.
According to a survey from the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, 80 percent of the respondents (回答者) going to the Expo have plans to travel and 75 percent of them will go to nearby places, such as Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing and Wuxi are the most popular sites, where tourism will be the best winner.
It is estimated (估計) that 70 million visitors will come to the Expo. During the peak time, as many as 700,000 people will visit Shanghai every day.

Due to the Shanghai World Expo, Zhejiang will attract 20 million visitors within half a year. It will encourage local industries, such as catering, tourism, entertainment and shopping. More than 50 travel routines (線路) connecting Shanghai and other tourism spots, such as the West Lake in Hangzhou, gardens in Suzhou, and the waterscape in Shaoxing, will be introduced to the world. So far, local travel bureaus in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Huzhou, Shaoxing, Zhoushan, and Wenzhou have already sent special work teams to Shanghai to present their special tourism attractions to visitors.
The sharing and the connections of tourism resources as well as customer and service systems will also promote the areas in the Yangtze River Delta, which will in turn help to shape sustainable (可持續(xù)的), healthy tourism for the future.

Family members become closer during such a trip, therefore make sure to bring every family member with you — needless to say, your pet dog as well. Enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sunshine with your pet and you will feel much closer to it.
If you have decided to take your dog on a self-driving holiday, a full and detailed preparation is needed．
When reaching the destination, dogs need comfortable and cozy places to rest, but they are sometimes banned from some hotels and restaurants. Therefore it is of great importance to make sure the place you are going is dog-friendly.
Dogs like Golden Retrievers, Schnauzers, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels are quite lively and outgoing in nature so are suitable for a trip. But some canines are not, such as those which are too young or too old．The old dog lets you know quickly about being uncomfortable with unfamiliar circumstances, while the young ones are easy to get hurt.
Many people wrongly believe that holiday trips are beneficial to animals, strengthening their ability to deal with strange environments. But experts say that it’s not as effective as they think and the ability to adapt to different environments needs to be trained into the dogs before they come across such challenges. A sudden trip can be too much of a burden for many dogs which will feel stressed and scared．Only those more naturally friendly dogs will feel happy on a trip with owners by their side.
Special attention should be paid to animal insurance because in a strange environment dogs can be easily frightened by other animals and run away. Keeping them well tied up is advisable.
Another important point that requires your attention is the possibility of attacks by other dogs in rural areas where immunity(免疫力) from disease cannot be guaranteed.
64．The underlined word “canines ” in Para.4 refers to ________.
A．destinations             B．dogs         C.  hotels and restaurants            D．people
65．People should pay special attention to animal insurance because ________.
A．there are too many young dogs
B．dogs have the ability to adapt to new environments
C.  dogs are easily attacked by other dogs in rural areas
D．dogs are easily afraid of other animals and run away in a strange place
66．The main reason why people bring their dogs on holiday is that ________.
A．they are not safe at home    
B．they are members of the family
C.  their dogs can learn a lot outside
D．people can build a better relationship with them
67．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Bring Your Pet on Holiday            B．Take Care of Your Pet
C.  A Special Member of the Family   D．Animal Insurance

IN a 30-minute film called The Chase, a girl tries to catch a thief and finally takes him down with martial arts (武術) skills.
Anything special? Thirteen-year-old US girl Sophia Tran wrote, shot and performed in the film. She played the girl in the movie and her father, Steven, played the thief.
Now an eighth-grader at Ladera Ranch Middle School, California, Tran wrote The Chase over the summer of 2008. She shot the film in the fall of 2008 before holding the premiere (首映式) at her home in January the next year.
“It is important to have passion in filmmaking or you are not going to make it,” the quiet teenager said with a smile. “Also, you should read a lot of books about filmmaking.”
Tran thinks that many screenplays don't have any “suspense (懸念) as the film progresses.” She is now working on a movie which she says will be a suspense story.
Steven says his daughter has enjoyed drama and action movies since she was 7.
“She started to be interested in how stories are adapted (改編) to a screenplay,” Steven said. “And she wrote her own books when she was in second grade.”
