NEW YORK—America has been experiencing the longest economic increase in its history. Incomes have risen, unemployment has fallen, and cities such as New York are bursting with new office buildings.

But just a short walk from Manhattan's skyscrapers, George Brown sits on the side-walk, cooking a lunch of rice and bits of fish over a can of cooking fuel.

Brown is homeless — one of the 2.3 million people in the US who end up on the street.

During the day Brown collects deserted cans and sells them for five cents a piece. At night, he sleeps on the street.

"I have been on the street about eight or nine years, something like that," said the 62-year-old former construction worker.

Brown admits he's had problems with alcohol and has smoked cocaine. But he said he still wants a more stable （穩(wěn)定的） housing arrangement. He could afford it just with the money he earns by collecting cans and small pieces of metal, if only truly low-income housing were available.

However, he sees no hope of finding affordable housing in New York.

With the strong economy and unemployment down, beautiful housing is being built to meet demand.

A US report shows rents in New York city rose more than 27 per cent between 1984 and 1999, from US $549 to US $700 a month.

One of the side effects of the strong economy is that rents have been going up.

The majority of people who experience homelessness really just need some affordable housing help.

But few housing companies have been built for the poor. Many small apartments in the city now rent for US $1,500 a month or more.

Brown, the homeless New Yorker, said he has a daughter who lives in the city but he rarely sees her. She is angry about his drinking and won't allow it in her house.

Smiling, he said he also has seven grandchildren whom he'd like to see more often.

"All I've got to do is clean up my act," he said.

66．What kind of life does George Brown lead?

       A．Homeless and dangerous．    B．Homeless and childish．

       C．Homeless and miserable．          D．Homeless and sleepless．

67．From George Brown's life we can find that ________________.

       A．old Americans lead a hard life              

       B．old Americans want to live alone

       C．American cities are full of poor people       

       D．bad habits play a role in poor people's Life

68．It can be inferred from this passage that ________________．

       A．America is short of housing companies

       B．the poor can't benefit from the increasing economy

       C．poor people in America will become rich

       D．housing companies will build more houses for the poor

69．If this passage comes from a paper, on which page would it be?

       A．Society．      B．Science．      C．Economy．         D．Business．

70．What character does George Brown have?

       A．Selfish．      B．Lazy．        C．Warm-hearted．     D．Open-hearted．

In the year 1893, James Hilton wrote a novel “ Lost Horizon”. In the novel, a group of English people were flying home. Their plane was seized and  21     down into a mountain in a Tibetan region. Some lucky survivors were   22     to Shangri-La where they found lots of  23   things in such a state   24     nearly 200 years ago,  25  the local people lived peacefully and 26  with the other people, animals and everything here. The place was called “ Shangri-La” by the local  27   .

James Hilton   28  “ Shangri-La” in a mysterious valley which was  29   by snowcapped mountains, near where there were blue lakes and  30   grasslands. The human beings and nature were in  31   harmony; several religions and varieties of nationalities  32  at the same time; the temples looked splendid in green and golden; though people  33   the outer world by caravan(商隊(duì)) for a long time, many foreign experts and scholars had come here to  34   .

Obviously, that is not only beautiful    35  , but also a kind of artistic concept.

With the novel and the film  36  out, Shangri-La became very famous in western countries. Later, a Chinese used the name of this place and  37    “ Shangri-La” Hotel Group which has become one of the most successful hotel groups in the world.

At the same time, people didn’t give up looking for the  38   Shangri-La. Up to the end of this century, they   39  have found it.

After inspecting and proving on many aspects, people found that Diqing Prefecture(轄區(qū)), the only Tibetan region in Yunnan, China, has striking similarity with what’s described in the tale     either natural scenery or people’s way of living. Therefore, the name of “ Diqing Shangri-La” spreads worldwide.

    It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of clear similarities in the way different animals show the same feeling. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behavior patterns are inherited (遺傳) rather than learned.

　　Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble (顫抖)”suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out（伸出）their tongues”! Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting（侮辱）or expresses disgust.

　　Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Disgust, contempt (蔑視) and suffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. And psychologists (心理學(xué)家) such as E.G. Beier have also shown that some people often give the completely impression of how they feel. For example, they try to show love but in fact communicate dislike. Or when they want to show interest, they give the impression that they don’t care. This can happen even among close friends and members of the same family. In other words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movements may be the exact opposite of what for people understand.

71．According to the passage, even in different cultures the most easily recognized emotion is    .

       A．a(chǎn)nger       B．dislike      C．happiness  D．surprise

72．Experiments show that easier understanding of words and gestures has something to do with your           .

       A．a(chǎn)ge and sex             B．love and cultural differences

       C．impressions about the speaker D．emotional state

73．When we communicate with people,        .

       A．we know exactly what they mean while they express their emotions

       B．we sometimes misunderstand each other

       C．we usually mislead them by expressing the opposite of our feeling

       D．it seems much mere difficult to understand body language than language

74．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

       A．When we communicate our real emotions, we many cause misunderstanding to others.

       B．Different people in different cultures may have different ways to understand one gesture.

       C．Some people are likely to hide their real feelings and express them in the opposite way.

       D．What we say does always mean the same thing as the gestures we make.

75．The underlined word “disgust” in Paragraph 2 probably means “     ” in this passage.

       A．strong dislike   B．friendliness      C．love  D．sickness
