I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival. She lives on the other side of the world, and I went to visit her, not wanting to leaveand feeling like I was leaving home against my will. However, I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.
So I boarded the plane in mid-August, and hated the long flight. I arrived, tired and hungry. I had left my husband of 2 years, alone, in our old New Orleans house.
I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festivalon Sunday morningwhen I received a call from Chicago. The hurricane was predicted to hit our city, and many people had side of the world, but he could call his cousin in Chicago. He gave his cousin a message for me, that he would be just fine, and not to worry.

I performed, hoping that my husband would survive. And I performed perfectly. The audience stood and applauded. I left the stage and went straight to the TV. I saw the street sign near my home, of Humanity Street, but nothing below it, except water.
In the days that followed, I found out that my house, my car, my clothes, my furniture, everything that I’d left behind was gone…but not my husband. He survived by riding on the rear bumper(后保险杠)of a VW bus, holding on to the overhead luggage rack, in the pouring rain, down the highway from New Orleans, half-way to Baton Rouge. The rest of the journey was a long walk,but he survived.
By the first week of September, I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport, and hugged my husband. Since then, our relationship has grown deeper; we have completely rebuilt our house, bought a new car, bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational, spirit-filled community.

Giraffes Are Being Killed for Their Tails
Documentary filmmaker David Hamlin recalls how excited he was at the sight of three giraffes standing in a small clearing when he was flying over the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Garamba National Park in late June. ―Seeing these giraffes from the air was really exciting,‖ says Hamlin, who was working for National Geographic. That’s because Garamba is huge, extending over nearly 2,000 square miles of mostly forested land, and it’s a rare, lucky event to come across any of its 40 remaining giraffes.
But Hamlin’s thrill at seeing and photographing the giraffes didn’t last long. Twelve hours later, people looking after the national park reported hearing gunshots, and they later discovered three bullet-riddled bodies of dead giraffes in the sun. ―It was horrible for me and the team,‖ Hamlin says―to realize that most likely it was these guys, we’d seen.‖Hamlin decided to document the sad event to raise awareness about illegally shooting animals in the park.
Garamba is Africa’s second oldest national park and has been hit hard by illegal shooting in recent years. Its rhinos have been wiped out, and elephants have suffered huge losses. The same goes for its Kordofan giraffes, one of Africa’s nine giraffe subspecies. Fewer than 2,000 now wander central Africa, according to Julian Fennessy, co-director of the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Garamba’s Kordofan giraffes represent the last population in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. ―If the number slips in half, then we’re in an extremely serious situation,‖ Fennessy says. ―Every single giraffe is valuable.‖
Congolese usually kill the giraffes for one body part, their tails, considered a rank symbol in some communities. Meanwhile men from neighboring South Sudan target the giraffes for their meat to feed poor villagers. But the massive bodies (giraffes can grow to 18 feet and weigh up to 3,000 pounds) of these three giraffes were complete —only the ends of their tails were missing.According to Leon Lamprecht, joint operations director for African Parks, ―menuse the tail as treasureto the bride’s father if they want to ask for the hand of a bride.‖ ―What an absolute waste!‖ Lamprecht says.
64.What made Hamlin so excited when he was flying over the park?
A. Filming the huge national park.B. Reporting the event in the air.
C. Picturing the running rhinos.D. Spotting the rare animals.
65. What does the underlined part ―the ones‖ refer to?
A. The filmmakers. B. The elephants. C. The giraffes. D. The hunters.
66.What did Hamlin decide to do after learning about the event?
A. Uncover the ancient African traditions and customs.
B. Call on people to protect the habitat of wildanimals.
C. Improve people’s knowledge of preserving wild animals.
D. Become a volunteer in the animal conservation foundation.

Every year, thousands of new high school graduates pack their bags, move to new cities, and sign papers accepting loans, the money borrowed from a bank or lenders etc, which they might not be able to pay back. Without proper education on personal finance, especially as it relates to paying for college, young adults are guided into improper loan plans that result in years of debt after graduation. In order to set students up to succeed financially, it is important to educate students and parents on their financial options before school in the fall. The best way to support families heading for college is to require that every high school student take a personal finance class before graduation. This will help smooth the transition into adulthood.
The average student takes out at least one loan to cover the costs of their education each year. In 2014 the average student graduating from college carried a negative balance of about $20,000 in debt, which often spread over multiple lenders. Upon graduation, students rarely know exactly how much money they owe, and even though they are in the state of being unable to pay their debts, they cannot wipe out student loans. These students spend much of their adult lives paying off the gradual increasing debts.
A personal finance course would teach students how to manage their income and expenditures, while helping to significantly reduce the amount of debt students carry into adulthood. By teaching students how to save money and live within their means, this course will provide the next generation with a foundation to progress financially. Students choosing to get a job straight out of high school would also benefit from finance education for these very reasons. With education on how to manage their finances, all young people will have the knowledge to make healthy decisions, leading them to improve good credit and purchase needed items like cars and homes with skill and confidence.
While not every young person makes financial mistakes, those who do can face years of difficulty trying to get their finances back under control. Rather than help them through these hard times when they happen, we should try to prevent them from happening at all. Making the completion of personal finance coursework a requirement for graduation would ensure that young people are at least aware of the basics of preserving a financial stability.
67. After graduation from college, many young people ______.
A. struggle to support their families B. spend years paying off their debts
C. get through the hard times smoothly D. are able to manage their own finances well
68. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Ways to improve financial credits. B. Advantages of taking a finance course.
C. Skills of balancing income and expenditures.D. Introduction to the education on personal finance.
69. Having financial knowledge, high school students are probably able to ______.
A. smooth their way for college B. get out of their financial trap
C. free from the cost of their college education D. avoid the risk of the future financial trouble
70. The main purpose of the passage is to_______.
A. inform and explain B. argue and persuade C. analyze and evaluate D. discuss and examine

Network With Ease
Networking is very important in our daily lives. Often the best jobs and opportunities are not advertised but filled by word of mouth. With this in mind, a good idea is to go and find them yourself. How is this done? By the simple process of networking.
A number of people feel networking is a waste of time and it has no effect on personal relationships or being successful in your business. ___71___ Relationships and business have been built via the networking process for hundreds of years.
Networking is not about meeting hundreds of people, communicating with them and then never meeting them again. It’s about getting to know each other and finding out if you are able to make the relationship beneficial for both of you. If you aren’t able to – then see if you can introduce them to someone more well-matched to their business.
___72___ One day she decided to donate one of her articles to the local newspaper so it could be published and people around the world could have the chance to read it. The article focused on an event, which was coming up and was hosted by a woman’s publishing group. The group not only liked the article, but also appreciated what she had done, so they recommended her to a national magazine.___73___ This example shows how networking can be done easily, if well thought out.Touching base with a few people can in fact lead to reaching many.
___74___ I heard a story of someone recommending a friend for a teaching position with a nonprofit organization. Interestingly enough after getting the position, he returned the favor by referring his friend into a job he had heard about. How funny things work out!
When looking for a new job, it may be worth joining a networking group focusing on the sector of business you are interested in. It’s a great way to meet people, do research into companies by asking questions of those people who work there. ___75___
The examples above show that in order to network effectively and in an efficient manner, you do not need to be outgoing or know a lot of people. All it requires is being creative, listening well, asking relevant questions and developing a good reputation with others. You would be amazed at how many doors will open for you.
A. This concept is completely incorrect.
B. Family and friends are the easiest and best way to increase your network .
C. Often the opportunity may just be within that particular networking group.
D. So now, not only does she get to write regular articles, she also gets paid for it.
E. Getting in touch with your friends and your colleagues often helps you build a larger network. F. A simple example of how easy networking can be is the example of a woman who used to love writing articles.
G. By referring your friends or relatives whom you think are well suited for a job is another way to network.

One possible version:
Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you. It’s really a good idea for us to share our favourite books with each other.
My favourite book is A Tree Grows in Brooklynwritten by Betty Smith. It tells the story of Francie Nolan, an adolescent girl who grows up in a poor immigrant family in Brooklyn. Her mother favors her little brother, while his father is always drunk. Life is hard for her. However, reading brings her great pleasure. Thanks to the books,she finds a way to endurepoverty and loneliness, surviving all the difficulties and challenges.
What I’ve learned from this book is that though life is tough sometimes, as long as we’re determined to rise above difficult circumstances, life can be hopeful and colorful. This book encourages me to keep optimistic about life and gives me courage to face difficulties. It certainly deserves to read.
Looking forward to learning about your favourite book.
