A tour of the Wuyi Mountains in the northwest of Fujian Province is well worth your time. This place has clear rivers, beautiful forests on hills and peaceful villages. The UN honored much of Wuyi in 1999. Since then, more and more tourists have visited it and some have used air travel to get there. But you will be glad to know that it is still a special quiet place to see. Yunufeng, or Jade Lady Peak, is as beautiful as ever. Jiuquxi, a river in the shape of a snake in the southwestern part of the Wuyi Mountains, is still green and clear as it travels nearly ten kilometers to the flats (平地) below. On the river you can see many high hills or stop to climb a rock staircase to the top of Tianyoufeng. From there you might stand in a light warm rain as you look out over the beautiful valleys (山谷) below. Clouds come and go among the mountains and into the valleys. Birds sing cheerfully in the forest, perhaps calling out names from long ago. In another part of the river you can take a boat down a whitewater but be sure to wear a T-shirt and shorts as you will get wet! If you need to wear glasses, tie them to your head. Don’t change your mind about going down the river! Be brave! Some guides will help you on the boat and take care of you on the river. You can watch the green water become white as it begins to move more rapidly. You will probably feel both excited and nervous, but enjoy the ride! When your journey is finished, don’t forget to go to the village nearby and try the famous Wuyi rock tea. Then you can have a rest and think about the trip.

A. in the northwest                                            B. in the southwest

55. How can you describe the boat ride down a whitewater?

56. From the passage we can conclude that ___________.

Long before, there was a large mountainside, where rested an eagle's nest with four large eagle eggs. One day   31    earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm   32    (locate) in the valley below. The chickens were kind enough to care for the eagle's egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture (哺育) and raise the large egg.
One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly,  33   , the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more   34   a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out   35    more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could soar like those birds."
The chickens roared with   36   (laugh), “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar."
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above,   37   (dream) that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams   38   (know), he was told it couldn't be done. That is   39    the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow   40    dreams... not the words of a chicken.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend in the U.S. continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.

Are you carrying too much on your back to school? Lots of kids of your age are. Not only are students in China suffering from the problem, but kids in the United States are puzzled by heavy school bags.
Experts are starting to worry that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them. It is hard for me to get up the stairs with my bag because it's so heavy, said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.
Rick is among the students who have regular backpacks(背包) with two straps (帶子) to carry them, but a number of other students choose rolling backpacks. But even with rolling backpacks, getting up stairs and buses with them is still a problem for kids. Many of them have hurt their knees, backs or necks because of heavy school bags.
   But how much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight. Scott Bautch, a Wisconsin back doctor, said kids under 4th grade should stay with 10 percent, but it’s also important that older kids don’t go beyond (超出) 15 percent, because their bones are still growing.
Bautch explained that there are other injuries caused by backpacks. Kids are losing their balance and falling down with these backpacks, he said.
Parents and teachers are starting to tell kids to only take home library books they will be reading in the evening. Some teachers are using worksheets (作業(yè)單 ) or thin workbooks for students to take home.
One of the best answers is, as some kids suggest, to have no homework at all!
60. According to experts, a primary student in Grade 6, who is 40 kilograms, should carry a bag   weighing ______ kilograms at most.

61. As school bags are too heavy for younger students to carry, they ______.
A. show no interest in studying at school.

C. are having back and neck problems
D. usually ask their parents for help
62. The author wrote the passage to _____.
A. seek(尋找) ways to solve the problem of heavy bags
B. appeal (呼吁) to teachers for caring for the students
C. criticize(批評) the government for having done nothing to help students
D. tell us that heavy bags are bad for students’ health
63. Parents and teachers are starting to tell kids to take home only library books they will be   reading in the evening to ______.

The global financial crisis is likely to cause increased mental health problems and even suicides(自殺)as people struggle to deal with poverty and unemployment, the World Health Organization warned Thursday.
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are already affected by mental problems such as depression and bipolar disorders (帶狂躁的抑郁癥) and the current market meltdown (崩潰) could worsen feelings of despair among people who can't stand such illnesses.
The United Nations agency said the impact could be especially marked for those living in low and middle income countries where access to treatment is often limited.
“We should not be surprised at the turbulence (動蕩) and likely consequences of the current financial crisis. Now we are seeing a huge gap in taking care of people in great need,” WHO director general Margaret Chan told at a meeting of mental health experts.
“It should not come as a surprise that we continue to see more stresses, suicides and mental disorders,” Chan warned.
Benedetto Saraceno, director of WHO's mental health, said mental health disorders affected one in four people at some point in their lives.
Mental and neurological disorders are often chronic (慢性的) and disabling, he said. Nearly 1 million people commit suicide worldwide every year, a large proportion (比例) of them are young adults.
Asked about the financial crisis, Saraceno said, “Poverty can be the consequence of such events, the debts, despair and sense of loss that may reach middle and lower classes. Even the poor can be affected by this crisis.”
“There is a clear evidence that suicide is linked to financial disasters. I am not talking about the millionaire's jumping out of the window but about poor people,” he said. The global crisis could be expected to affect the “stability(穩(wěn)定)of communities and families”, according to Saraceno.
67.According to the passage, the chief result of the worldwide financial crisis is that  ________ . 
A.more people will be poorer                    
B.more people will be out of jobs
C.more people will suffer from mental problems    
D.more people will commit suicide
68.The United Nations agency worried that________. 
A.more rich people would commit suicide
B.the financial crisis might especially influence developing or underdeveloped countries
C.the current market meltdown could worsen feelings of despair
D.hundreds of millions of people in the world were already affected by mental problems
69.It is implied that ________.  
A.far more work should be done to help those who are mentally ill
B.it will be surprising to see more people commit suicide
C.a(chǎn) mental disorder is a chronic disease
D.many more adults commit suicide worldwide than people of other ages
70.The best title for the passage is _________.  
A.Consequences of Global Financial Crisis.
B.Mental Disorders Resulting From Global Financial Crisis.
C.Suicides as a Result of Market Meltdown.
