Gone are the days when men and women couldn’t associate（交往）with each other . When we are asked whether boys and girls can associate with each other, most of us will say, “Yes, of course. Why not? ”

If we want to deal with the association between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.

1. Keep a normal and healthy state of mind（心態(tài)）. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for boys and girls to contact each other and build up the friendship with the students of the other sex. Generally speaking, we should broaden the circle of the association. We should make as many friends as possible. We should have more friends of the other sex instead of one or two. We should contact the students in public instead of in secret.

2. Contact students of the other sex warmly, generously and sincerely. Don’t be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex. In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends, as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word. If you are too shy a person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby with you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.

3. Don’t fall into the ditch（泥潭）of early love . The boys and girls at adolescence（青春期）are rich in feeling and full of imagination . They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender to shoulder the heavy duty of love. Early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apply won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe（成熟）. Do keep out of early love.

59. The main idea of the passage is to       .

A. tell students to keep away from early love

B. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls

C. say contact does good not only to boys but also to girls

D. teach boys how to talk with girls

60. The underlined word “broaden” in the passage means “        .”

A. close down     B. make small     C. make big    D. make known

61. A person at adolescence is NOT        .

A. rich in feelings            B. old enough to fall in love

C. full of imagination            D. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love.

62. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Men and women used not to be allowed to associate with each other.

B. We’d better not make only one or two friends of the other sex.

C. Some students are too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex.

D. People like a person who always keeps silent.

Today, roller skating is easy and fun．But a long time ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.

One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball（化裝舞會）. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.

　　Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.

　　On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was amazed to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin’s grand entrance for a long time!
