Emily‟s wedding dress arrived at five o‟clock in the afternoon, just seventeen hours before her marriage

“I must try it on, mother!” she cried, as she ran upstairs.

Three minutes later Emily‟s cries brought her mother upstairs. The dress was much bigger for her. Emily was in tears.

“Take it back to the dress maker‟s,” Mrs. Bale said. “She must change it tonight. Hurry up now. Take it off and go. ”

The dress maker‟s shop was closed. “CLOSED FOR WEEK‟S HOLIDAY”, said a notice on the door. She ran home again to her mother.

“This is unlucky,” Mrs. Bale said. “But what are we going to do? Shall I ask Mrs. Peters to help? She was once a dress maker. I am sure she could change it for you.”

Mrs. Peters was brought in and began to work. She could see what was wrong. She had to take in a lot of materials at the front, and that was a big job. In fact she almost made it again. At about ten o„clock the work was finished, and Emily tried it on. It suited her beautifully.

The three women were having a cup of tea when the door-bell rang. Mrs. Bale answered it and looked into the worried eyes of a young woman, who was carrying a large flat box.

“Does Miss Emily Bale live here?” she asked out of breath. “Yes, she is my daughter.”

“Oh, I am glad I‟ve found you. There‟s been a mistake. Your daughter has my wedding dress, and I‟ve got hers. And I am getting married tomorrow!” She held out the box to Mrs. Bale.

When Williams met Jennifer

I was on the train, on my way home, when I saw Jennifer sitting in the same carriage.

My first thought was “it‟s her”. It was the girl I used to see every day in the library when we were at university. Often I couldn‟t concentrate on my work when she was sitting so close to me, but in fact, we never spoke once, all the time we were there. And now, eight years later, here she was.

So I walked up to her and said, “We‟ve met before, haven‟t we? Weren‟t you at Durham University?” Not a great line, I know, but it broke the ice, and we talked for the rest of the journey.

We got off the train at the same station, she said goodbye and disappeared. I was kicking myself for not getting her telephone number. But then, thank goodness, she came back and said she had to wait on the same platform for the next train. We continued talking, but when her train arrived, I realized I still didn‟t have her number. This was my last chance. I pushed a pen at her and she wrote the number on a piece of paper just as the train pulled out. I got home and the first thing I said to my roommate was: “Do you remember that girl I couldn‟t stop talking about at university?” And he said, “Oh, no… yes, of course I remember… ” I then talked about her non-stop for an hour. Finally, I phoned her later that evening and we decided to meet the next day. Six months later we went to Australia and worked together for a year. When we came back, we got married. It‟s the only thing in my life I‟ve ever felt completely certain about. 66. Williams first saw Jennifer _________.

A. in Australia B. on the train

C. in the library D. on the way home 67. The underlined part in the third paragraph most probably means ___________. A. I felt angry with myself B. I felt happy about myself C. I felt pleased with myself D. I felt excited about myself 68. Which of the following is put in the right order? (1) Williams and Jennifer got off the train together. (2) Williams asked Jennifer for her telephone number. (3) Williams saw Jennifer sitting in the same carriage.

(4) Williams and Jennifer waited for the train on the same platform. A. 3412 B. 2431 C. 3142 D. 1423 69.What‟s the relationship between Williams and Jennifer? A. They are classmates B. They are strangers.

C. They are mother and son. D. They are a married couple. 70. This is a ______________ story.

Want to travel as cheaply as possible while enjoying the great sights as many as you like?

Backpacking is the way. As the most popular traveling choice among young western people, backpacking allows you to travel where you want. Carrying a tent, a sleeping bag and clothes, backpackers also need to make some preparations for the challenges.

The rich may stay in expensive hotels where everything is provided. But backpackers carry everything in a larger bag and do all things on their own to travel through unknown places.

To travel with as little money as possible, they stay in cheap hotels called youth hotels, or on the campuses of schools and universities, and they even sleep in railway stations, in tents or under bridges.

Young people in Europe often travel around by train. Now, as the prices of the plane tickets become cheaper, more people are traveling to far countries, such as Australia and China. And some just travel in their own countries.

But no matter where a backpacker travels, planning in advance is important if he or she wants to enjoy the trip.

Three kinds of cards are needed while traveling: Student Identity Card (ID), personal ID and a credit card. A student ID can be helpful for saving money. It often gets train tickets and entrance tickets for lower prices in many western countries. Personal ID card can help people solve the problems. Carrying a credit card can be a safe way of carrying money, because cash can easily get lost, stolen or wet. And of course, don‟t forget to enjoy your trip!

71. In young western people‟s eyes, _______ is the most popular traveling choice. A. backpacking B. traveling by air

C. staying in hotels D. driving a caravan

72. From the article, we know that young people in Europe often travel around ___________. A. by coach B. by train C. by ship D. on foot

73. The Writer believes that backpackers can‟t enjoy the trip without _____________.

A. a map B. a guide C. enough money D. planning in advance

74. According to the article, in many western countries a student ID card can help a backpacker to _____________.

A. be served better B. get cheaper tickets C. get out of trouble D. travel everywhere free 75. Which of the following is not mentioned as the advantage of backpacking? A. Enjoying great sights B. Spending less money C. Making more friends D. Traveling where you want.
