The El Nino Phenomenon
Again we’re having a warm winter in here . The global warming is due to the El Nino . It is what we call the Pacific Ocean warm water phenomenon . In fact El Nino is the Spanish name for baby Jesus . Do you know why it is called that ? That is because warm water moving across the Pacific traditionally reaches South America at around Christmas . Scientists have now used the term El Nino for the major warming periods over large South America coastal areas and areas west of the equator （赤道）and the Dateline （日期变更线）. The El Nino comes every 4 or 5 years and lasts between 12-18 months . It brings extremely bad weather like storms , drought etc . It sets fire on rain forests and burns lots of them . So we should encourage people to make a donation （损助）for the protection of our planet . We’re responsible for lots of environmental problems and human activities have killed so many animals and plants on the earth . And all species （物种）depend in some way on each other to survive . So if we lose one of them , some others might die as the result . This makes things even worse . We’ve got one planet only . If we make a mess of it , we can’t move to another .

There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art . Washington , D.C. has the National Gallery of Art （美术馆）; Paris has the Luvre ; London , the British Museum . Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see . And it does so without a building , or even a wall for its drawings and paintings .
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States . You don’t have to visit the University to see the art . You just need a computer linked to a telephone .
You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it . All of the art is stored in the school computer . It is computer art , produced electronically by artists on their own computers . In only a few minutes , your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings .
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum . He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works .
A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records , or floppy discs , to others to see on their computers . He can also put his pictures on paper . But to print good pictures on paper , the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer .
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities . Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students .Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it . He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience . And the GREat number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum .

One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you . In recent years , research in psychopharmacology（精神药理学）has proven what many people have known over the centuries :a positive attitude is good for you , good for your health , good for your wealth , good for everything . Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better ,while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone （荷尔蒙）and shuts down the immune （免疫的）system . This leads to illness and depression . Positive thoughts will make you feel better . Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it , so to speak ) , it will become contagious （会传播的）and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts .
For example , if you force yourself to smile of laugh , even when you don’t feel like smiling or laughing , if you keep at it for a few minutes ,you will soon feel like it . Feelings can generate thoughts , but thoughts can also generate feelings . Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings . Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives . There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude .
It’s often been said that in the land of the blind , the one-eyed man is king . And in the office of militant（好战）negativism , the positive workers shine like gold . You cannot control external events , but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy . This vital key to success is totally within your control . Use it .
67．If you are not a fool , you should _____ .
A．overlook the importance of using the positive thinking.
B．attach（加强）importance to positive thinking
C．allow the use of negative thinking
D．have positive thinking as well as negative thinking
68．We can infer from the passage that _____ .
A．positive thinking can cure you of your diseases
B．positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone
C．a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed
D．a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking
69．According to the passage , which of the following is true ?
A．Feelings and thoughts can generate each other .
B．It’s easier to control thoughts than to control feelings .
C．Your success depends wholly on your attitude .
D．Keeping smiling will surely make you successful .
70．Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind , you should _____ .
A．take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism
B．be king in your office
C．pay no attention to what is going on around you
D．control your feeling to what is happening to you
71．The best title to the passage is _____ .
A．Thinking Benefits People B．Why Should People Think
C．Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking D．Thinking : The Vital Way

SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND—A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants .
At the annual conference of the Professional Association of Teachers in Southport , northwest of England , one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools .They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven , made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her , supporting her idea by 16votes to 13 , with a total of 63 abstentions .
She said big dogs could help round up children , keep them in line , lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order . “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property , like gym shoes or dolls ,” Dyble said at the conference . “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to , ”she added . “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit .”
The idea was GREeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions . A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett , who is blind , said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools . The Professional Association of Teachers , with around 35,000 members , is the smallest teaching union in Britain . It has an honour for occasional strange ideas .
Earlier this week , its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand .
72．According to the writer’s opinion , to employ dogs as classroom assistants _____ .
A．is a wonderful idea
B．can improve the relation between children and animals
C．is beyond ordinary people’s minds
D．can make some teachers lose jobs
73．What Dyble said at the conference _____ .
A．gained some support from the members
B．frightened everyone at the conference
C．interested everyone at the conference
D．caused some trouble to trained dogs
74．A spokesman for Education Secretary _____ .
A．once used a dog as classroom assistant B．sang high praise for Dyble’s idea
C．would employ dogs as teachers D．benefited from dogs more than others
75．The last paragraph of this passage _____ .
A．has nothing to do with the topic of this passage
B．shows there are too many exams in British school
C．provides further facts about the teaching union
D．shows the writer’s anger to the union

One possible version :
A Big Forest Fire
A big forest fire broke out in the forest in the southwest of America at the end of November of 1992. The fire was caused by a young worker’s smoking cigarettes. Thousands of firemen and local people tried to put out the fire, but they couldn’t put it out in a short time. The fire lasted more than three weeks and was finally put out.
In the fire nine people died and about eighty people were injured. It caused a loss of at least twenty million US dollars. The fire shocked the whole country.
