A 61-year-old woman was saved on Saturday evening by Russian rescuers after being buried for up to 127 hours in rubble in the quake-ravaged southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Local residents told Russian rescuers that there was someone alive under two collapsed residential buildings in Dujiangyan, a city southeast of the epicenter of Monday's earthquake.

The rescuers explored the buildings with dogs and machines. Then, they cut out a section of the floor, and successfully pulled out the woman.

The woman was in good condition and was still able to think clearly. She was still able to move her hands and feet and could still speak.

The Parsurvivor had lived on the first floor of the six-story building. And she was buried in the debris of the concrete ceiling after the quake.

The unidentified woman was the first survivor found by foreign rescue teams. A total of 237 rescuers from Japan, Russia, South Korea and Singapore are currently in Sichuan, aiding the disaster relief efforts.

The Russian rescuers are still trying to save a second possible survivor trapped in the debris of the building.

Into the sixth day since the devastating earthquake, China's worst in more than 30 years, rescuers, including more than 130,000 troops, were still struggling to pull possible survivors from debris of collapsed houses, schools and factories.

No matter how long your life, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. You can rejoice in the fact that the number of such is relatively small.

       ________________ Yet there is a surprising uniformity in the lists which represent the best choices of any period. In every age, the list makers include both ancient and modern books in their selections, and they always wonder whether the moderns are up to the great books of the past.

       What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all they are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.

       Great books are probably the most widely read. They are not best sellers for a year or two. They are enduring best sellers. GONE WITH THE WIND has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or DON QUIXOTE. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer’s Iliad（伊麗亞特）has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.

       Great books are popular, not pedantic. They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.

       Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.

       Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Inquiry not only begins with wonder, but usually ends with it also. Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly. Wisdom is fortified, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.

64．Which of the following can be put in the blank in the second paragraph?

       A．Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life.

       B．It is to be expected that the selections will change with the times

       C．The listing of the best books is as old as reading and writing.

       D．The fundamental human problems remain the same in all ages.

65．According to the author, Gone With The Wind is ________.

       A．a best seller                                               

    B．disgusted by readers who like Shakespeare

       C．read more often than Don Quixote        

       D．a great book

66．In the passage “pedantic” means ________.

       A．showing the feelings, esp, those of kindness, which people are supposed to have

       B．serving as practical examples

       C．being elementary

       D．paying too much attention to details in books

67．The best title for this passage is ________.

       A．Great Books in Your Life       B．Great Books in Your Speciality

       C．How to Find a Great Book?    D．What Is a Great Book?

Except for the sun, the moon looks like the biggest object in the sky. Actually it is one of the smallest, and only looks big because it is so near to us. Its diameter(直徑) is only 2,160 miles (3,339 km) ,or a little more than a quarter of the diameter of the earth.

Once a month, or more exactly, once every 29.5 days, at the time we call “full moon”, its whole disc looks bright. At other times only part of it appears bright, and we always find that this is the part which faces towards the sun, while the part racing away from the sun appears dark. People could make their pictures better if they kept this in mind — only those parts of the moon which are lighted up by the sun are brighter. This shows that the moon gives no light of its own. It only throws back the light of the sun, like a huge mirror hung in the sky.

Yet the dark part of the moon’s surface is not completely black; usually it is just light enough for us to be able to see its shape, so that we speak of seeing “the old moon in the new moon’s arms”. The light by which we see the old moon does not come from the sun, but from the earth. We know well how the surface of the sea or of snow, or even of a wet road, may throw back uncomfortably much of the sun’s light on to our faces. In the same way the surface of the whole earth throws back enough of the sun’s light on to the face of the moon for us to be able to see the parts of it which would otherwise be dark.

72. Why is the dark part of the moon not completely black?

A. The sun shines on the moon’s surface.

B. The earth throws back sunlight on to the moon.

C. The moon throws back the light from the sun.

D. The moon has light of its own.

73. The underlined word “disc” in the second paragraph refers to _______.

A. a round plate                                 B. a round record

C. the moon that reflects sunlight         D. the moon which looks like a round plate

74. By saying “the old moon in the new moon’s arms” , we mean a time when ______.

A. the two moons are closely linked

B. the new moon is at its brightest

C. the moon is partly bright and partly dark

D. the new moon is hugging the old moon

75. Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The moon which appears round at its brightest is called full moon.

B. The moon’s diameter is exactly one fourth of that of the earth.

C. The light by which we see the old moon comes from the sun

D. The part of the moon which is not lighted by the sun is completely dark.
