One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”
The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500g. “It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance（救护车）. It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
“If we carry our burdens（负担）all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. “
“What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed（使恢复）and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.

How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world? The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos（爱斯基摩人）live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.
People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.
Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.
A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.
66. According to（根据）the passage, there are _______ ways to tell time besides the clock and
watch.
A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 7
67. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because __________.
A. they know very little about the sun
B. the sun there never goes down in winter
C. it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun
D. it has long dark winters and long light summers
68. The underlined（下划线）word “tides” in the passage means __________.
A. 洋流 B. 潮汐 C. 海啸 D. 波浪
69.In which page of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?
A. News B. Science C. Business D. Advertisement
70. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Different Ways to Tell Time B. Useful Machines to Tell Time
C. The History of the Clock D. The Development of the Clock
四、阅读表达（阅读下面短文，回答问题）（共10分，每题2分）
Why do people cry? Scientists say the body produces tears because they need them. One kind of tears is for the eye, the other is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust（灰尘）gets into your eye, tears also come into the eye to clean it out. If you are hurt by something, your strong feelings produce some poisonous chemicals（毒素）in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. If these poisonous chemicals are not cleaned out of your body as soon as possible, they will do harm to the heart sooner or later.
In the United States men have heart problems more often than women do. Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures（压力）of living and working now. Perhaps men suffer more from these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more.
In fact, you can find many ways of reducing the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural and physical one.（No more than 5 words）
1. How many kinds of tears does the body usually produce?

‘USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?’ We often hear different ideas. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be better and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be thought over. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and solve all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into lots of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth（值得）it?
We know there are many famous people who have got success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused（拒绝）. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
