（每空？ 分，共？ 分）

6、Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were not willing to work on farms along the Atlantic because they worried about the terrible storms that destroy buildings and crops. The farmer received a steady stream of refusals at the interview for a farmhand.

Finally, a short, thin man approached the farmer. "Are you a good farmhand?" the farmer asked him.

“Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man.

Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man’s work.

Then one night the wind howled loudly from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!”

The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you I could sleep when the wind blows.”

Enraged(激怒) by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could be blown away.

The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he also returned to his bed to sleep while the wind blew.

4、Are the Super Girls super enough to make it into China's most authoritative(權威的) dictionary?

The editors of Cihai are working on a new edition, and they say they haven't decided yet.

“The editing preparation of the 2009 edition of the dictionary has just started,” an editor of Cihai said. “Which new words will be added, and which old ones will be deleted, remains unknown.”

The TV programme that brought the Super Girls into the public eye has certainly had an influence on Chinese society since its debut in 2004.

The editor said the new edition will include terms such as “Shenzhou VI,” the name of China’s second manned spacecraft, and Ba Jin, a late master of contemporary(現(xiàn)代) Chinese literature.

The argument began earlier this week, when media reported that Cihai, as a dictionary that prides itself on its educational and historical value, would not include terms such as “Super Girl.”

An official said that some online words were popular, but Cihai preferred words of both popularity and stability(穩(wěn)定性) and those that can withstand the test of time and usage.

A reporter from China Economic News said: “We all agree on the great contribution of Ba Jin, but who can look down on the social influence of the Super Girl?”

A Professor told China Daily: “Of course ‘Super Girls’ should be edited into Cihai. If some strange words can be in there, why not ‘Super Girls’? Even though it may die out after a few years just as, say, ‘Shenzhou VI’ will be replaced by ‘Shenzhou IX’ one day.”

Cihai records new words reflecting the latest developments in the social and natural sciences, including biology, electronics, computer science and economics.

  64. What can we know about Cihai from the passage?

A. It will be edited and published in 2009.

B. Most of the words in Cihai withstand the test of time and usage.

C. It records all new words at home and abroad.

D. It is revised and edited every year.

65. The underlined word “debut” means _______.

A. performance                        B. names popular

C. first public appearance          D. stories known to all

66. Which of the following people has a clear opinion on whether “Super Girls” should be edited into Cihai?

A. The editor.                     B. The official.      

C. The reporter.                  D. The professor.

67. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. The argument whether Cihai should include “Super Girls” was caused by a media report.

B. The term “Super Girls ” is known all over the country.

C. Whether the new edition Cihai will include “Super Girls” remains unknown.

D. “Super Girls” are not so famous as Mr. Ba Jin.
