Situated in the South West of England, between Exeter and Plymouth, Torquay is one of the most popular holiday resorts(度假勝地)in Britain. It provides sophisticated(精致)entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the sea, with private suites(套房),swimming pools and saunas, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses. There are camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying“B & B”signs.
As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues away from the crowds, Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments(飲料)and hire deck chairs, boats and even beach huts. There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country. For the sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, squash and bowls, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding and deep-sea fishing.
After a day in the open air, there’s lots to do in the evenings, too. There are plenty of discos, the occasional opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres. For the children, there is a beautiful model village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at night.
Of course, there’s no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay. Only a short drive away is Dartmoor National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic, unspoiled countryside, or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams. Or, nearer to home, you can sail across Tor Bay to the lovely old fishing village of Brixham.
Torquay seems to have something for everyone. But don’t take my word for it-come and see for yourself.
41.Which of the following best explains what “B & B” means on the signs?
A.Bed and breakfast           B.Breakfast and bath
C.Beach and barbecue     D.Beautiful and British
42.According to the text Torquay might be described as     .
A.comfortable and expensive       B.crowed and lively
C.remote and beautiful                 D.fresh and healthy
43.What is special about the model village?
A.It opens at night.
B.It has something for the children
C.It’s in the open air.
D.It has a real railway system.
44.What is the purpose of writing this text?
A.To introduce the geography of Torquay to students.
B.To make some places known to visitors.
C.To show the beauty of resorts.
D.To attract more tourists.

He would march out of the classroom   26  if he thought a student was giving less than his effort. The worse thing with us was to be taken no notice of.

I never got along well with Dad. But when he was dying, I set off for Nebraska to be with him and my family. I stopped for the night at a hotel with a pool, hoping a swim would relax me.
The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the pool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. ‘Where are you going?’ he asked. When I told him something about my father, he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject, but then for some reason, I told him everything.
Finally the man said, ‘Even with all the trouble, remember, your father still loves you.’ All at once, warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back: Dad running alongside my wobbling (搖擺的) bicycle, the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation, his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle(撓癢). ‘Yes, I know he does love me,’ I heard myself say. And for the first time these years I believed it. The man left, leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.
Back in my room, as I went to bed, I decided it was time to forgive(原諒) my father. Then I wished he’d forgiven me too. The phone bell woke me up at 3 a.m. My sister’s voice sent a shock (寒戰(zhàn)) through me: Dad had just died. I had wanted to see him and make peace.

The Pecan Thief
When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather’s
farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the  36  to gather
pecans for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really  37  work and my little basket
was only half full. I wasn’t about to  38  Grandpa down. Just
then something caught my  39  . A large brown squirrel was
a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and   40  in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel  41  out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
Not so  42  anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was   43  with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my  44 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so  45  of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.   46  , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d   47 the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that  48  me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently  49  my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter  50  of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will  51  the cold winter? ”
“I didn’t think about that, ” I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take  52  of someone else’s hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit  53  . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t   54  my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. "Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that."
When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves." On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.
Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way." In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It's like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.
The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.
69. When first introduced to new people, we should________.
A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other people's feeling
B. always tell the whole truth even if it hurts
C. appear friendly and self-confident at least for the first few minutes
D. mention faults we find in the other people
70. According to the author's advice, interpersonal relations________.
A. should be set as a required course in schools
B. are more important than other courses in school
C. are less important than reading, writing and mathematics
D. is the only key to one's success in life
71. The underlined word 'play-acting' in the fourth paragraph means________.
A. being totally honest         B. being a little dishonest
C. acting out what one feels          D. acting in a play
72. The best title for the passage could be________.
A. The Key to Success         B. Best Ways to Make Friends
C. Personal Relations           D. The First Four Minutes
