    On January 5th, the students in our school visited Robot World, which we saw a great diversity of robot. It was amazed that those robots could do a great number of things just like real people, including playing chess, playing piano and drawing pictures. What’s more, the robots were of different kinds and shapes, which made us excited. At addition, that excited me most was the show given by a group of robots. They danced just as if they are dancers on the stage. By visiting Robot World, I have learned a lot of about robots, especial about their functions and shapes. This visit has made a strong impression on me and I’m eager to learning more about robots in the future.

What is the E-mail? __71__ You can send messages in only a few seconds by email.

On the Internet there are many powerful computers called “servers” to help people send and receive emails. __72__ If you want to use the email service, you have to open at least an email account called a “mailbox”, just like we set up a mailbox in a post office. Some mailboxes are provided free of charge by ISPs, which you can get when you open an Internet account.

__73__ First you have to connect to the Internet and go to the homepage of the ISP providing free mailboxes. Then you’ll find an icon（符號）showing “apply for a free mailbox”. Click the icon, and an agreement about the rules for using the free mailbox will appear. __74__ Then you have to fill in a form about your basic personal information, and the name and pin of the mailbox. After finishing these, you will get a mailbox like this: your name @ mail server, for example: jack@163.com. The mailbox is separated into two parts by a separator “@”, which is read as “at”. The former part is the name of the mailbox. The latter is the domain name（域名）of the mail server. All mails to you will be received by the server and put into your mailbox. __75__.

    A. How to apply for a free mailbox?

    B. You can read this mail on any computer in the world as long as you have the name and pin of the mailbox.

    C. E-mail is very popular today.

    D. The e-mail, which is also called email, stands for “electronic mail”.

In America, seldom do you go anywhere without hearing a principle called WIN-WIN. It sounds strange to me at first because throughout my childhood, I have always been taught to try everything possible to win an upper-hand, rather than to help other people win. However, as time goes by, I have gradually understood the essence (真諦) of WIN-WIN principle—it is the attitude of seeking mutual benefit.

When I was little, I used to play Chinese checkers (跳棋) which includes two basic tactics (戰(zhàn)術(shù)): One is to create paths for yourself; the other is to block the passages of your rival. Players may apply these two totally different approaches in the game, but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for him even if his opponent may take advantage of it. Finally he can always reach the destination a few steps ahead of the other player. Meanwhile, some player may take another approach to prevent his opponent from moving forward at all costs. In this way, he may get a short-term benefit, but couldn’t fix attention on the final goal. Thus, he would never truly develop further.

In the 1990s, a strategy called WIN-WIN became widespread in the western world. Its core is to achieve your objective while giving other people some benefits, so there is no real loser. One example of applying the WIN-WIN principle is the voluntary system in the US. Most Americans advocate the spirit of social service and voluntary contribution. In the US, schools and children organizations usually encourage and support kids to be engaged in community service so that the voluntary spirit can be enrooted in their minds from childhood. Moreover, a crucial（決定性的）standard for universities to judge new students is whether they have worked for the community or not.

In China, it’s quite usual that some people are too selfish and never take people’s interests into consideration, while someone who really has courage to do something for the public is often called “foolish” or “stupid”. Actually helping other people can be of great delight for the helper, for he can also learn something crucial for his life such as sympathy, care, devotion, etc. So only if you take other people’s interests into earnest consideration can you assure your own gain.

68. The purpose of the author in writing the passage is _______.

A. to tell us the cultural differences between China and the US.

B. to tell us the different educational systems in the US and China.

C. to tell us the importance and meaning of WIN-WIN.

D. to show that WIN-WIN is popular in the US and China.

69. What is the author’s attitude towards WIN-WIN?

A. Criticism.  B. Encouragement.  C. Disagreement.  D. Doubt.

70. The underlined word “enrooted” in the third paragraph means ____.

A. removed   B. furnished  C. planted   D. influenced

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.

Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having conquered（戰(zhàn)勝）something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

The great 19^th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

60.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
   A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

   B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

   C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.

   D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.

61. Traveling alone is challenging because ________.

   A. you have to make things on your own

   B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others

   C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens

   D. it will finally build your character

62. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

   A. He started traveling alone at an early age.     B. He was once shot in the arm.

   C. He used to work as a salesman.             D. His website inspires others a lot.

63. What is the best title for the passage?

   A. Travel Abroad                  B. Travel Unaccompanied

   C. Travel Light                   D. Travel Wide and Far

In 2006, young businessman Blake Mycoskie went to Argentina on vacation. He went back to America with a business plan that would help thousands of children. While on vacation, Mycoskie saw children who couldn’t afford even one pair of shoes. Their feet suffered cuts, and he wanted to help. He noticed the shoes that Argentinean farmers wore. Inspired by those simple shoes with rope bottoms, he had an idea. Mycoskie wanted to give these children the shoes they needed. He gave his new plan a name --- TOMS. For every pair of shoes he sold, he would give a new pair to a needy child. One for one.

It was a slap(耳光) in the face to traditional business practices. How could he make a profit by giving so much away? However, he started selling shoes out of his apartment. When he had sold 10,000 pairs of shoes, he returned to Argentina with 10,000 pairs to give away.

Although often taken for granted, shoes play an important role. Children without shoes easily injure their feet. They can catch a disease through soil that could make them sick or slow down their growth. Some children can’t attend school without shoes because they are part of the uniform.

TOMS, together with other charity organizations, continues to find communities that will get benefit. Since that first “shoe drop” in Argentina, TOMS has contributed new shoes to communities in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.

Mycoskie’s special principle is all about giving. This has attracted a lot of media attention, saving money on marketing. When people hear about TOMS’ purpose, they buy the shoes and then share the story with a slogan of “shoes for a better tomorrow”.

   B. They wondered how Mycoskie could manage it.

   C. They asked Mycoskie to stop doing this immediately.

   D. They felt sorry for Mycoskie’s having to give away so much.

58. All the following facts show that shoes are important EXCEPT that ________.

   A. they cure diseases caught from soil
