Open a large handkerchief out and show both sides of it to your friends. Point out that there is nothing in it; then show them both sides of your hands, which are also empty. Now ask a member of your audience to give you a match. Ask him to put a mark on it with a pen or a pencil. Fold up the handkerchief with the match in it, and let everyone present see you do this.
Give the handkerchief to anyone in the audience and say, "Here's the match. Can you feel it? Good! Now I want you to break it into two pieces." When he or she has broken the match, you say, "Would anyone like to feel the broken match in this handkerchief?" Several people will probably want to feel it. When they have satisfied themselves that the match really is broken, you say, "Now I'm going to make the match whole again." Perhaps your friends will say that that is impossible.
Hold the handkerchief in one hand and pass your hand or your wand (magic stick) over it, saying: "Abracadabra, abracadabra." Open the handkerchief and let the match fall onto the table of floor, saying "Presto" as it does so. When the audience examine the match, they will find that it is quite whole and undamaged. The member of the audience will see his mark on the match. Everyone will be amazed!
The secret of this trick is quite simple, as in all magic tricks. Long before you do the trick you must do one thing?you must push one of your own matches into the hem (褶邊) of the handkerchief. This must be pushed well along the hem so that it cannot fall out or be seen.

Welcome to ST. HELENA
We are one of the farthest communities on Earth. Situated in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, our nearest neighbor, Ascension island is over 1,100 km away. You will find us at longitude (經(jīng)度) 5?45' West and latitude (緯度) 15?56' South--which is more than 1,950 km from the west coast of Africa and nearly 2,900 km from the east coast of South America. Our island is only 16 km long and 9 km wide and our population is 5,000.
Quick Facts
?The official and only language of St. Helena is English.
?St. Helena's education is based on the British system. School is required between the ages of 5 and 15. Students go to the United Kingdom for tertiary(高等教育的)education.
?There are several religious groups on the island. All except one are Christian religions.
?The main employer on St. Helena is the government. Other industries include farming, tourism and retailing.
St. Helena is a volcanic island of sheer, barren cliffs and deep valleys. There is very little flat land on the island and no sandy beaches. The highest point is Diana's Peak, which is 818 m above sea level. The central, high area of the island is covered in semitropical plants which change to grassland and pastures as it slopes towards the sea. Close to the shore, the land is dry and unproductive.
Although situated in the tropics, the South Atlantic trade winds(信風(fēng))provide our island with a mild, pleasant climate. Temperatures on the coast, around Jamestown, are 20?32?C in summer and 15~26?C in winter. Temperatures in central areas are an average of 5~6?C cooler all year round.

D
As nanny (保姆), cook, cleaner, shopper, driver, and gardener, she has one of the most demanding jobs in Britain today. And paying someone else to do the chores (家務(wù)活)which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost ?349.
At over ?18,000 a year that's more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population, including train drivers, firemen, prison officers, and social workers. Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into an even higher pay league. According to a study, she earns ?457 a week?at nearly ?24,000 a year, the same as teachers, engineers, and chemists.
Researchers put a price on each chore, then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them. They found housewives spend an average 70. 7 hours a week on housework ?with looking after the children(17.9 hours)and cooking and cleaning (12.3 hours each) the most time-consuming(費時的).
A wife with a part-time job still works an average of 59 hours a week at home. Those in full-time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace. The good news is that these hours drop sharply as children get older. While the average mother with a child under one puts in 90 hours weekly, the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten.
Mother-of-four Karen Williams from London said, "Paying the housewives may not be practical, but the government should recognize the value of housework, perhaps through the tax. Running a house takes a lot of time and most husbands don't understand this. For example, my husband only puts a shelf up now and again. He never cleans the kitchen?that's the real test."
68. Who earns most according to the text?
A. A social worker. B. A fireman.
C. A gardener. D. A teacher.

A. takes more time than doing any other housework
B. means more duties than being a teacher
C. requires the mother to be well-educated
D. prevents the mother from working outside
70. According to the text, a housewife with a baby less than one year old may work .
A. 66 hours a week B. 71 hours a week
C. 80 hours a week D. 90 hours a week
71. By mentioning her husband, Karen Williams wants to show that .
A. housework is no easy job
B. her husband has no time to clean the kitchen
C. a housewife needs to be paid for cleaning
D. the kitchen is hard to clean
E
Economically disadvantaged preschool children were trained in one of these three types of fantasy activities over a school year. One group of children listened to fairy tales, and then acted them out. The children would pantomime (演啞劇) such things as the wolf blowing the pigs' houses down, or the pigs running and screaming with the wolf in hot pursuit (追趕). The children were encouraged to trade roles from session to session. Another group of children acted out common experiences, such as visits to the doctor or grocery store, or outings to the zoo, a fire station etc. The stories acted out were thus closer to the children's actual experience and involved less fantasy than those of the first group. A third group of children read fairy tales, but they didn't act them out. After hearing the stories, the children would discuss them. In addition to these groups, a fourth group of children acted as a control group that had interaction (互相作用) sessions with the staff involving such typical preschool activities as finger painting, cutting and pasting and recognizing animals in picture books.
It was found that the physical movement of fantasy experiences markedly improved children's performance on a variety of measures of intellectual(智力的) functioning, empathy (共鳴), length of resistance before touching an attractive but forbidden toy, and other measures of impulse (欲望) control. Simply listening to and discussing the stories was usually no more effective than the control situation. In addition, the results suggested that fantasy play, which was farther removed from reality, such as that involving fairy tales, had more positive results than socio dramatic play dealing with more common experiences. Imaginative socio-dramatic play can be used successfully as a way of helping cognitive (認知) development and self control in young children.
72. The passage mainly concerns .
A. imaginative socio-dramatic play B. economically disadvantaged children
C. training children in fantasy D. experiments on children's intelligence
73. Imaginative socio dramatic play is found to be .
A. useful of the development of children
B. the cause of problems in cognitive development
C. loved by poor children
D. dealing with common experiences
74. In the first group, the children .
A. only listened to fairy tales B. changed roles with each other
C. learned to buy and sell D. discussed the stories they heard
75. The difference among the four groups of children in the experiment is .
A. their financial background B. their individual personality
C. the teaching methods applied D. their attitudes towards life

One possible version:
Nowadays, some students would not like to live in a dorm. Instead, they rent houses outside the school. There are advantages for both. Living in a dorm can increase friendship and cooperation between classmates. And of course it is safer. A dorm is more like a society, which enables students to learn to adapt to each other, thus preparing for the social life later. As for renting houses to live alone, it’s better for study as you can feel free in your own room without being interrupted by others. As a result, you can have more time and devote yourself to studying whole-heartedly. But there may appear some safety problems as you live outside of the school.
Anyhow, as a student, I prefer living in a dorm.
