I'm really nervous opening Chatroulette （a website）．I don't know if I'm more scared of the possibility of coming face-to-face with a naked （裸體的） guy doing improper things, or the possibility of having to speak to someone normal．But it's that uncertainty that's caused the "game" to explode into an Internet phenomenon．
So, I hesitantly click "play"．My face appears in a small box to the left of the screen．I'm a 22-year-old guy, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and sitting in my warmly lit bedroom —not too threatening, I think．Believing I look welcoming and friendly, I open all features: visual, audio and text．The user can disable these at any time if they feel uncomfortable．
Quickly I find myself face-to-face with my first "partner"．A guy with glasses is staring back at me．He looks like he spends too much time in front of the computer．"Hey", I say, "how are you going?" "Good," says the guy．Sensing that he was not going to be very talkative, I hit the "next" button．
Just like that, I'm thrown across the world into someone else's bedroom．This time it looks like a middle-aged woman．I must have hit gold because 85 percent of Chatroulette users are male, according to the Wall Street Journal．She's wearing sunglasses and smiles back．Before I can even say a word, she "nexts" me．"WHAT?!"
Then, I fly through the Internet and arrive at my next partner．My nightmare, a man is sitting in his computer chair half-naked taking off his pants．Argghh! "Next, next, next!" For the next 30 minutes I keep my cursor （光標） over the "next" button．My experiences continue to be short, shocking, and largely uninteresting．I discouragingly hit "next" after seeing another naked man, and decide to end my session and close the window．This wasn't "the new social media experience" I was hoping for．Maybe it was just a little bit too random （隨機的）．
64．It is the author's __________ that leads him into Chatroulette．
A．curiosity          B．unwillingness    C．enthusiasm          D．ignorance
65．The underlined word "disable" in Paragraph 2 means __________．
A．store                  B．close                C．misuse                D．copy
66．Among all the partners, __________ seemed to be the least interested in talking with the author.
A．the guy with glasses                      B．the middle-aged woman
C．the man in his computer chair            D．the last man mentioned
67．What is the author's attitude toward Charoulette?
A．Positive．           B．Supportive．       C．Objective．         D．Negative．

When you do business online, remember one of the most important factors in online success is list building. No matter what goals you’re seeking with your online activities, building a good contact list is vital for a successful outcome. List building plays a major role in developing good relationships with your site’s customers, and visitors. It can be used to get more sales for your site or business. For these reasons contact building should be high on your list when you’re marketing or promoting on the web. Fortunately, list building is an easy process that any site or webmaster can quickly set up as long as you understand two simple elements. To be really successful, your list building must combine these two key elements. Without these you will probably find building your contact list difficult and slow going. So it is worth your while to fully understand these two factors in your list building.  
Value－It should offer important information, quality content, special deals / discounts, and more importantly, it should offer a valuable relationship or connection to an expert in the subject area of the list. 
Subscribers (訂戶) must benefit from joining your list. If you’re building a list, just write down all the benefits someone would receive from joining your site or list, including receiving important information, getting special valuable content, receiving special deals / discounts, getting training videos and getting timely announcements or news. Don’t forget there may also be a psychological reason for joining your list－many people like being part of a group or membership site. It’s human nature. Everybody likes to feel included. 
Free whatever you offer－make sure it is Free. The quickest way to build any list is to give away free valuable content, information, videos, reports, e-books, discounts, prizes... everybody loves a free gift. Just make them an offer they can’t refuse. This has more to do with the nature of your gift and the kind of contacts you’re building－giving away free buying guides on how to purchase real estate, fast cars, LCD TVs, laptops... will definitely attract the right “buying customer”. If you’re into selling, you just have to adjust your marketing to combine the free element correctly. In addition, giving away something free is the first step in starting an ongoing relationship with your subscribers. It gets the ball rolling.

BEIJING, May 5(Xinhua) —The number of Chinese children infected with hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) continues to rise, with reported cases reaching 9,251 by Monday.
The latest HFMD infections occurred in the southwestern Chongqing Municipality which reported 42 sporadic(零星的) cases since Thursday.
"No fatal or critical cases have been reported in Chongqing so far," said Liu Kejia, vice director of Chongqing Health Bureau. "The disease prevention and control center has sampled some cases and no enterovirus 71 has been confirmed."
Beijing has recorded at least 1,482 cases of the disease in all the 18 districts in the city until Monday, of which 818 were reported in kindergartens. The neighboring Hebei Province reported 206 cases on Monday.
Altogether 25 children have died of the disease. Tests have confirmed 24 of the deaths were triggered by the virus known as enterovirus 71 or EV71.
According to the Guidelines Regarding Prevention and Control of HFMD published on the Ministry of Health website, HFMD can be caused by a host of intestinal(腸的) viruses, but EV71 and the Coxsackievirus (Cox A 16) were the most common.
Anhui Province, in east China, and Guangdong Province, south China were the worst hit areas. Twenty-two of the deaths occurred in Fuyang, a city in northwestern Anhui, and the rest in Guangdong.
Outbreaks have also occurred in Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei provinces, according to statistics released by local health departments.
In Anhui alone, 622 new cases were reported on Saturday, including 362 in Fuyang, driving up the number of children with HFMD to 5,151 in Anhui.
Guangdong registered 925 cases as of Sunday.
Both EV71 and Cox A16 can cause HFMD, which usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters and ulcers(潰瘍) in the mouth and rashes(皮疹) on the hands and feet.
Those sickened by EV71 often show serious symptoms. It can also lead to meningitis, encephalitis, pulmonary edema and paralysis in some children. There is no vaccine.
The Health Ministry issued a circular(通告) late last month requiring better management and surveillance of the disease, as it expects more cases in the next few months.
The ministry asked hospitals for daily reports on the disease, and for local health departments to report emergencies promptly and increase investment in research into the disease.
53. How many deaths occurred in Guangdong Province according to the passage?
54. Which place was seriously infected as it is reported?
55. Why are children so easily infected?

In 1891, a man named James Naismith was teaching physical education at a school in Springfield. One long, cold winter, he had to create a game for 18 young men to play indoors. So the Canadian-born Naismith wrote some rules.
Rule number one: “The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.” Two: “The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist).”
In all, there were 13 rules— the original rules of basketball. James Naismith is recognized as the inventor of basketball.
The National Association of Basketball Coaches established the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, in the northeastern United States in 1949. It opened in 1968 at Springfield College. A new, larger building opened in 1985. And, four years ago, the Hall of Fame moved into a newer building, just south of its former home. The new building increased the size by almost one hundred percent. 
Honors ring in Basketball Hall of Fame.
The Basketball Hall of Fame is a museum and entertainment center. It combines history with technology. And it tries to capture the energy and excitement of the game. In the Center Court area, for example, visitors can play interactive games of basketball and take part in skill competitions.
The Hall of Fame explores basketball at every level of the game. Visitors learn about professional basketball in the United States and other countries. They learn about women’s teams and how the game is played at the college level. They also learn about basketball for disabled people.
The Hall of Fame honors the best players, teams, coaches and officials in basketball. Earlier this month, six more honorees joined the more than 250 people in the Hall of Fame. The six new members are Geno Auriemma, Charles Barkley, Joe Dumars, Sandro Gamba, David Gavitt and Dominique Wilkins.
40. James Naismith is considered to be the forerunner of basketball mainly because ____.
A. he discovered the first basketball                
B. he created the earliest basketball games
C. he set up the Basketball Hall of Fame
D. he organized the earliest basketball games
41. From the passage, we can infer that ____.
A. the Hall of Fame only honors the best basketball players
B. James Naismith was employed as a coach in the Hall of Fame
C. visitors can compete with the professional players in the hall
D. a variety of basketball games are developed by the Hall of Fame
42. James Naismith made some rules in order to ____.
A. organize an indoor basketball game  
B. improve physical education at school
C. train his students for the Hall of Fame
D. invent the game of basketball for the young
43. The passage talks mainly about ____.
A. the Basketball Hall of Fame         B. the first basketball games
C. the original 13 basketball rules   D. the players in the Hall of Fame

This week，We talk about the application process for American colleges and universities．This is Part Eight in our Foreign Student Series．Earlier，we explained  how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world．We also discussed the rules for entering in the United States．  71    
But if your goal is to come to the United States to study，then it is time to make a list of  colleges of universities that interest you．  72   Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools．
Some students want to attend a small college．Others want to go to a big university．That university in Columbus．Ohio，in the Midwest，has almost fifty-two thousand students．There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries．Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Web site．  73   Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment．
Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online．You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies．  74   But answering all the questions is not enough．Another important step is taking admissions tests．The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take．  75  Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL—the Test of English as a Foreign Language．
A．Completing a college application can take some time．
B．You can pay the application charge online with a credit card．

There were two things in the world that Ghagra Geeta Bali hated. The first was the way，Rani，the domestic help．combed her hair．The second was，you guessed it，her name. She hated her name so much that she prayed to god every night：Dear god，let me be born again. So I can have a name like Rita or Preeti．A short，smart one-word name.

But when her mother asked her to participate，Ghagra Geeta Bali said no. She didn't want to speak out her name in front of so many people and make herself the butt（笑料）of amusement. But mothers being mothers，she just went up to the man and told him in firm tones：“Please enter my daughter's name. It is Ghagra Geeta Bali.”
“It is what?” the man asked，naturally a little taken aback.
“G-h-a-g-r-a G-e-e-t-a B-a-l-i. There she is，”she replied while pointing to her daughter. The crowd standing around also turned to stare. All Ghagra Geeta Bali wanted then was for the earth to open up and swallow her.
That did not happen．But the following week she received a call．It was from the recording company that had announced the scheme. And they told her that she was the chosen one
“It is all because of your name，” said the public relations  man  who had called.“Mr Faridabadi took one look at it in the list and said that he couldn't wait to meet the brave girl bearing it．”
