In so many ways, cyberspace (網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間) mirrors the real world. Some people ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips.  71  Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace.  72  So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation (對(duì)話).  73
But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.  74  Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask.
75  Others fail miserably.

A．Instead, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really matters.

B．Others buy and sell products.

C．They’re looking for serious love relationships.

D．But cyberspace is different from the real world in some aspects (方面).

E. Some of these relationships actually succeed.
F. Where else can so many people come together to chat?

I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.
After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.  
Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.

C. was getting tired of his present job
D. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries

Stephen would take my literature lesson. After we introduced ourselves to each other, we talked about what the class would cover and all the things he would learn. It was a course in which he would learn a lot of facts and details in one term. As I talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.
I told him to do his assignments (作業(yè)) and hand them in on time. I also told him that most successful students made a calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their work load.
As the fall term went by, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had struggled in school. It had taken him longer to finish than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it. He told me that before coming to our school, no one had believed he had much potential (潛力).
Stephen didn’t become an “A” student. His name didn’t appear on any honors list. One reason was that he never did real well on tests. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized digestible portions (易理解的部分). By passing course after course he began to gain a measure of self-esteem (自尊). He was a great singer and he was on the school’s cross-country team.
Every time I saw him at school he would say, “One bite at a time.” His secret, he said, was that he was practicing what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”
On graduation day, he said with a bright smile, “One bite at a time.”
65. Before Stephen began his class, _____.
A. the author had known him for a long time
B. the author told him something about his lessons
C. he was confident about his studies
D. he made a study plan
66. From the passage we can know that Stephen’s family _____.
A. kept encouraging him to continue his studies
B. thought he had much potential to study well
C. didn’t think he would do well at school
D. thought it would take him more time to study than others
67. What do we know about Stephen?
A. He was honored for his good results.    
B. He didn’t do anything except study.
C. He only broke down his literature lesson into bite-sized portions.
D. He tried his best to pass his courses.
68. Which of the following can best describe Stephen’s story?
A. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Well begun, half done.
D. Failure is the mother of success.

For centuries people dreamed of going into space. This dream began to seem possible when high-flying rockets were built in the early 1900s.
In 1903 a Russian teacher named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky figured out how to use rockets for space travel. His plan was the first one in rocket science to use correct scientific calculation. About 30 years later, a U.S. scientist named Robert Goddard built the first rockets that could reach high altitudes. During World War II, German scientists built large rockets that could travel very far and carry dangerous explosives. After the war, scientists from Germany went to the United States and the Soviet Union to help those countries build space rockets.
These two countries were soon racing to get to space first. Each of these countries wanted to prove that it was stronger and more advanced than the other one. Both countries also had powerful bombs. People in the United States were worried when the Soviets were first to launch a space satellite, which was called Sputnik. The Soviets were also first to send a person into space. Yury Gagarin orbited the earth in the Vostok I spaceship in 1961.
The US government set a goal for its space program to be the first country to put a person on the Moon. The U.S. space program built a series of Apollo spaceship. These vehicles were powered by huge Saturn 5 rockets. In 1969 Apollo II took three men to the moon successfully. Nell Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon.
The Soviets may have lost the race to fly people to the Moon, but they built the first space station in 1971. The United States also built a space station. The space stations allowed people to live and work in space. Then the Soviet Union and the United States cooperated to hook two spaceships together in space. This action ended the "space race". Today a much larger space station, built by several countries together, orbits Earth.
Another new way to go to space is by space shuttle. A space shuttle, first made in the United States in 1981, looks like an airplane. Astronauts who fly spaceships have used shuttles to help put satellites into space.
