   71   One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

Glaucoma（青光眼）is a major cause of blindness around the world, especially in developing countries. The World Health Organization says glaucoma is a greater public health challenge than cataracts（白內(nèi)障）, because the blindness caused by the latter can be cured after operations.

Glaucoma is a disease that makes people around the world lose their sight, and they usually don’t even know they have the disease until it has permanently destroyed at least 40 percent of their sight. The process is usually so painless and subtle（不明顯的）, so people don't notice it. Actually, the simplest medical test can discover it.

“It is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. In Hispanics and in African-Americans, it’s the second leading cause of blindness and so is the case in the Chinese and Indians.” said Dr. Alan Robin, a specialist in treating glaucoma. “The glaucoma we see in sub-Saharan Africa is a much more aggressive blinding disease than the glaucoma we see in Americans or even African- Americans in-the United States.” he said．　　 ．

Dr. Eric Fleischer also sees these differences at Medstar Washington Hospital Center. “Pretty much anybody who has ancestors in Africa has an increased chance of developing glaucoma.” Age is another thing that may lead to glaucoma, although people of all ages can get it.

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that commonly produce pressure in the eye. An eye is sort of like a watch. And behind the face of the watch, liquid is made. It goes through your pupil（瞳孔）and into the front of the watch between the face and the crystal．There's an area around the edge of the watch that drains（使排出）the liquid. When that drain is blocked, the liquid can't leave the eye as fast as it is produced. The rising pressure within the eye damages and eventually kills the optic（視覺的） nerve. The result is blindness.

Fortunately, if caught early, glaucoma can be controlled. Glaucoma is not curable. But as researchers worldwide lean more about it, they grow more hopeful that glaucoma can one day be cured or even prevented.

68. In which country is glaucoma the biggest danger to people’s sight?

A. In China　　 B. In India　　 C. In the USA 　　 D. In Japan

69. What do the underlined words “these differences”（in Para 4 ）refer to?

　　　 A. The differences in regions（地區(qū)）　　 B. The cultural differences

　　　 C. The differences in age　　　　　　 D. The physical differences

70. From the passage, we can learn that,　　　　　 .

　　　 A. It is hard for medical tests to discover glaucoma

　　　 B. People in developed countries hardly develop glaucoma

　　　 C. Glaucoma only causes blindness among old people

　　　 D. The research on glaucoma is still going on worldwide

   As in all cultures, there are many rules of etiquette (禮節(jié))surrounding food and eating, and nowhere is this more pronounced than when eating in a smart restaurant. People are almost always expected to eat with a knife and fork and these should be held in the correct hand and used in the correct way. It is also impolite to have your elbows on the dining table when you are eating.

There’re many such “unspoken” rules — they are normally only important when eating in a very elegant and expensive restaurant, and vary slightly from restaurant to restaurant and place to place. A recent nationwide survey showed that there was a divide in manners between the north and south of Britain — the “worst” manners were in Scotland and the northeast, and the “best” in Wales and the southeast! However, this survey was almost certainly conducted by someone in the southeast, so it may not be entirely fair.

Naturally, restaurants vary greatly in quality and price. However, almost all British cities have a vast range of food and cooking styles to choose from as well as traditional British food,. from the very cheap to the very expensive — French, Italian, Indian, Greek, Thai, Japanese and many more. In fact, when asked what their favorite food is, many British people say an Indian curry (咖喱菜）rather than any other dish!

As well as dining in a restaurant, when people are too tired to cook after work they often get a “takeaway”. This means they order from a takeaway or takeout restaurant by phone, then go to collect it and take it home to eat. Many takeout restaurants also deliver to your house. While you can normally find a takeout restaurant for almost any cuisine, the most popular are Italian, Indian and Chinese — and all you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!

64.   What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?

A. The British spend more eating out than cooking at home.

B. The British pay great attention to eating in a restaurant.

C. The British often dine out when celebrating festivals.

D. People tend to eat in a restaurant after watching a movie.

65. The underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.

A. polite  B. expensive   C. strange       D. obvious

66. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. There exist great differences of rules in different restaurants.

B. People from Wales and southeast Britain are the most polite.

C. Your order in a takeout restaurant can be sent to your home.

D. Traditional British food is seldom served in British restaurants.

67. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Restaurant culture in Britain.     B. Table manners in Britain.

C. Different restaurants in Britain. D. Traditional and foreign foods in Britain.

As a boy, Mark Twain caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play practical jokes on all his friends and neighbors. The nature of his jokes often led to violence (暴力). He hated to go to school and he constantly ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi. He liked to sit on the bank of the river for hours at a time and just gaze at the mysterious island and the passing boats. He learned many things about the river during those days.
