7．Valentine's Day，for many couples，means cards，flowers，and candlelight dinners．For most couples it also means withdrawing money at the ATM to express their love．Fortunately，there are ways to save money by saving energy-even during the date-so you can spend the money you save on the things that really matter to your sweetheart．Here are five easy tips for those couples out there who want to save energy and save money：
A fireplace is always a perfect background to set up holiday decorations because of the space it provides，in addition to the grand role it plays in the house as being an important part of each room．If you plan on spending your Valentine's Day near the fireplace，be sure to prevent the heat loss and make sure of the chimney efficiency．If you never use your fireplace，plug and seal the chimney flue．
If you plan on having a nice，romantic dinner at home and want to set the mood with proper lighting，use energy efficient light bulbs that save you money，and look for bulbs that are lower in lumens．Lumens tell you the brightness of the bulb．The lower the lumens，the weaker the light．
For those who plan to cook that romantic dinner，there are some simple energy efficient ways you can prepare that meal．For example，did you know that if you're baking in a china or glass dish，you can typically set your oven for 25 degrees less than the recipe calls for？Learn more about saving energy while cooking．
For those couples who would like to have a movie night，plug your TV and DVD into an electronic power strip to save money on your gas of the car．By plugging in electronic devices into a power strip and turning it off when not in use，you can save up to $100 per year．

點評 在做這類閱讀理解題時，我們應(yīng)注意以下幾個方面：
1、采用先題后文：先讀題目，再帶著問題讀文章．這類閱讀理解文章相對來說事實細節(jié)題稍多一點，如果帶著問題讀文章，有利于我們抓細節(jié)．
2、先做細節(jié)題．因為做完了局部性的事實細節(jié)題后，自然會加深我們對文章的理解，這樣更有利于做主旨大意題．
3、重點敲定主旨題．主旨大意題提問的形式主要有兩大類：一類是Main idea型；一類是Topic或Title型．

15．On the high-speed train Avignon to Paris，my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train in the middle of a car，directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years．It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger．My husband and I pulled out books．The woman produced a large makeup case and made up her face．Except for a lunch break，she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip．Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance，but never once did she catch my eye．My husband and I could have been a blanket wall．
     I was amused，but some people would have felt uncomfortable，even repulsed（厭惡的）．there is something about making up in public that calls up strong emotional reactions．Partly it's a question of hygiene．And it's a matter of degree．Making up----a private act----has a way of neglecting the presence of others．I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table，demonstrating that while she was next to me，she was not with me．
     In fact，I am generally prohibited from making up in public，except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment．In a gathering more professional than social，I would do so．
     Kathy Peiss，a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's．Deploring（強烈反對） the practice as a waste of company time，trade journals advises managers to discourage it among workers．Peiss theorizes that it was female's making up in what has been an all-male field that disturb some gentlemen．
      Peiss tells me that after the 30's，pulling out a make-up case was no longer an issue．It became an accepted practice．I asked if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself．Sounding mildly shocked，she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward．Why？Because it would be"a gesture of inappropriate feminity（女性化）．"One guess is that most professional women feel this way．There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching．

61．According to the author，"My husband and I could have been a blanket wall．"（Line 6，Para.1）most probably means"A"．
A．We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes．

D．We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes．
62．In the author's opinion，sheD．
A．feels comfortable when making up in public．
B．makes up before any professional gatherings．
C．only makes up on social occasions．
D．a(chǎn)llows public making up on certain occasions．

A．normal office work was disturbed．
B．make dominance was emphasized there．
C．it discouraged women's interest in career．
D．it distracted make workers'focus on work．
64．Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public？D
A．Because they are worried about being looked down upon．
B．Because it implies women's disadvantages in academic fields．
C．Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males．
D．Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations．
65．It can be inferred that in a highly open society，the differences between men and womenC．
A．have attracted little attention．
B．hinder the social development．
C．still call for great concern．
D．a(chǎn)re attractive topics in talk shows．

2．Law enforcement agencies across the United States are using cameras to take pictures of automobile license plates．The idea is to build a computerized collection of information detailing the daily travel of millions of Americans．
      Detective Mohammed Tabibi uses a license plate reader，also known as a LPR to look for stolen vehicles．"It has somewhat paid．We have caught some people involved in some serious crimes because of the LPR，"said Tabibi．
      The use of LPRs is growing across the United States．Some are fixed to poles along Roadsides，others are placed in law-enforcement vehicles．Privacy groups are concerned about the growing use of these devices．Jay Stanley is with the American Civil Liberties Union  （ ACLU）．"What they  are  also doing  is  storing everybody's time，place，and  location．And  many police departments are holding that information indefinitely．You know in our society，the government doesn't follow you and invade your privacy and track you unless it has a specific  reason that you are involved in wrongdoing，"said Stanley．
      Kevin Rearden served as Captain of the Arlington county Police，who also headed the county's Homeland Security Department before he retired．He said county policy called for the  LPR information to be kept for six months．"We originally had a two-month period，and the  detectives requested the chief extend it to six months because they found in so many investigations，keeping it for two months wasn't long enough，"said Rearden，"but other law  enforcement agencies that use the information may store it for unlimited periods of time．"
     Supporters of privacy rights say they have no problem with police departments taking pictures of license plates to investigate crimes．But Jay Stanley says they're against storing the  information for long periods of time．
     However，Captain Rearden disagrees，"They  keep saying the word'tracking'．I would be  lucky if I could find you in a few places in Arlington at a particular time．By no stretch of the  imagination would I be able to track you．"

16．A Korean wave is sweeping across China，and You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia．Besides，the book，The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane，read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while．
After the enormous craze generated by Great Jang-Geum in 2003，the resurgence （復(fù)活） of South Korean TV dramas can be attributed to the joint efforts of the country's government and TV series makers．The South Korean government issued regulations saying at least 80percent of the TV programs had to be domestically produced．It also fixed the minimum number of homemade TV series to be broadcast in the country．That not only helped South Korean TV productions gain a firm foothold in the domestic market，but also laid the foundation for their successful attempt into overseas markets．
Recent years have seen great innovations in South Korean TV productions in terms of themes and narrative patterns．Take You Who Came From The Star as an example．Although aliens visiting Earth is an often-used theme，You Who Came From The Star's script remains logical and fast-paced．It mixes the plot with romance and murder and keeps the audience guessing about how the story will unfold．When it comes to love stories，the new South Korean teleplays no longer use the sorrow card； instead，they introduce them with unpredictable ideas and romantic punch lines．
The three TV stations，SBS，KBS and MBC，control the majority of South Korean TV market，each specializing in a different area and appealing to people of different ages．The productions are smooth and use advanced technologies such as high-speed photography and computer-generated effects，creating a real-life visual impact．
Moreover，the filming for South Korean productions generally starts when the scripts （劇本） are just one-third ready．Many popular productions have their own websites，where scriptwriters post part of the finished scripts，inviting viewers to leave messages，discuss the plot and come up with suggestions for future series．This not only keeps viewers'interest in the TV dramas alive，but also helps scriptwriters and directors make changes to the storylines to suit the audience's demand．
Hopefully，the success of South Korean TV programs will prompt Chinese TV drama makers to think up new ideas and abandon their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home，and possibly abroad．

67．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT one South Korean TV drama？C
A．You Who Came From The Star．               B．The Heirs．
C．The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane．  D．Great Jang-Geum．
68．Why are most of South Korean TV programs required to be produced within South Korea？C
A．Because the TV programs produced out of South Korea are poorly made．
B．Because they can't match up to better produced works from other countries．
C．Because South Korean TV series are encouraged to promote its development．
D．Because just South Korea can provide enough TV market for them．
69．What kind of ending does You Who Came From The Star probably have？D
A．Sad and surprising．  B．Violent and frightening．
C．Romantic and sad．    D．Romantic and happy．
70．What's the advantage of South Korean TV programs over Chinese TV dramas？D
A．Government's support．  B．Often-used theme．
C．Different technologies． D．Changeable scripts．
