The custom of visiting friends, relatives and neighbors on New Year’s Day is one of the Old World traditions that has taken on a new form in the USA. It is called the Open House.
　　　 Officially started by George Washington during his first term as President, it is now as much a part of New Year’s Day as floral parades and football games. On January 1, 1789, President Washington first opened the doors of his official residence, then in Philadelphia, to all who wished to come. Then, when the capital was moved to Washington D.C. in 1800, the White House became the scene of the annual Open House. Over the years the occasion grew increasingly elaborate(復(fù)雜的). The vice-president and his wife and the Cabinet(內(nèi)閣) members and their wives were added to the receiving line, and the impressive food and patriotic（愛國(guó)的） music created an atmosphere（氣氛） of happiness. This White House tradition came to an end with the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose physical disability prevented him from standing, but the Open House is still a very popular way for clubs, civic organizations and individuals(個(gè)人) to celebrate the holiday.
　 　　On New Year’s Day most of the USA is blanketed in cold winter weather, but in California and the southern states January is generally fair and mild. The warm weather invites outdoor amusements. The famous New Year’s parades and football games now have grown up in this atmosphere.
63. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
　　 A. The Open House was started by George Washington.
　　 B. The Open House in the White House ended with the presidency of
　　　 Franklin D. Roosevelt.
　　 C. During the Open House, the vice-president and his wife also came to
　　　 President’s official residence.
　　 D. The Open House is now an important part of New
　　　 Year’s Day in America.
64. What does the underlined word “mild” in the last
　　 paragraph mean?
　　 A. Hot.　　 　B. Cold.　　
　　 C. Not too cold or wet. D. Rainy or windy.
65. The passage is mainly about ________.
　　 A. how to celebrate New Year’s Day
　　 B. celebrations of New Year’s Day in America
　　 C. George Washington
　　 D. the Open House in the USA

London—“Everyone else has one!” Lucy declared to her parents, trying to get a mobile phone as a gift for her 14th birthday. Her parents gave in.

Curious to know how her daughter would use the phone, Jane Bidder, the mother, followed Lucy to the school bus in the morning. The bus seats 20, of whom half have a mobile phone. One rings and several adolescent(青少年)owners fumble(摸索)with their bags.

Many parents have just come to realize that the mobile phone is no longer only for traveling business-men—it is as likely to be found in school bags.

The mobile phone seems to have become something essential for today's teens in Britain, according to a survey(調(diào)查)published last week, by NOP, a leading market research company in Britain. Research found that 66 percent of 16-year-old kids now have access to a mobile phone.

The mobile phone has been turned into a secret messaging service by teen users. They are talking on the mobile and their parents are not able to eavesdrop on the second line.

The interview with 2 019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favor the text messaging services because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch. The days of secret notes in the classroom are dying out.

For example, “cu” means “see you”; “l(fā)ol”means “l(fā)augh out loud”；and “2nite” is an abbreviation(縮略語)of “tonight”. All these are based on shorthand phrases used on the Internet.

Many schools have banned(禁止)students using mobile phones.

Scientists believe children are especially vulnerable(易受傷害的)to the mobile radiation(放射線).

1. The story of Lucy is told to show us　　　　　　   .

A. British parents meet their children’s needs whatever they are

2. What would be the best title for this news story?

A. School Bans Mobile Phones
