Everyone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over S 30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood，a small town in Louisiana，is an international pop superstar with not only S 30 million but also a S 2 million house in LA．At her young age，she can look after her family financially all her life．
This year is a big year for Britney，she is currently on a 31 date tour of the US and every concert is a sell out．That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time．It’s a tiring schedule but brings great rewards．When touring，she goes to bed at around 1 a．m．a(chǎn)nd then has a lie-in until 1 p．m．or 2 p．m．the next day．Her philosophy (人生哲學(xué)) is to take care of the body and be relaxed but always make sure you work hard and have fun．
Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records，so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting．She made an appearance in “Austin Powers 3” in 2002 and she filmed a teenage comedy that was released in 2003．In this movie，she had a starring role．The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer．
In spite of the fact that she has not enjoyed the same popularity as a pop singer so far，she insists on trying more roles．For Britney，acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all．If her movies are successful，her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love，not for money．
64．Tickets for Britney’s concert are ________．
A．booked in groups                         B．too expensive
C．not available                                D．a(chǎn)ll sold
65．The underlined word “you” in the second paragraph refers to _______．
A．a(chǎn) person in general                       B．a(chǎn) particular person
C．Britney herself only                      D．the reader
66．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Though young，Britney is a superstar both on the stage and screen
B．While touring，Britney is so tired that she has to sleep more than usual．
C．The teenage comedy was based on Britney’s own ideas．

67．According to Britney Spears，she works _______．
A．to be a great actress               B．for the enjoyment
C．to be more famous                        D．for the love of singing

Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, on April 21, the second Global Youth Service Day.
Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially-decorated “care huts”. They talked with them and gave messages to patients kept in their beds.
“I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people except talking with them and trying to cheer them up”, said Deng Yetao, a third-year student, “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”
“Even though they are suffering a lot, the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share. Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson,” said Mao Xiaohua, another third-year student.
Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon. The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy.
Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital.
Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programme. A total of 330,000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.
Yin Hang, a student from Beijing Medical College, said he felt “the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who slipped into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.
61. Youth volunteers from Beijing University went to Songtang Hospital to ______.
A. pay a visit to the wounded        B. talk with the aged
C. offer services to the aged          D. learn something from the aged
62. What the aged most suffered from is ______.
A. loneliness          B. death                       C. physical pain            D. disease
63. According to what Mao Xiaohua said, we know that_____.
A. the elderly taught him a good lesson when he talked to them
B. he learned something important from the elderly instead of only helping them
C. he only wanted to get something rather than do them a favor
D. he was glad to have given them a favor
64. When volunteers know most of the aged people in the clinic are dying patients, they feel _____.
A. sad                   B. disappointed             C. hopeless                   D. worthless
