Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list 36 in our past that we felt 37of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud．
This seemed like a very 38 'process, but there's always some__39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer． The instructor then__40 that we find ways to 4 1 people, or take some action to right any wrong doings．I was__42 wondering how this could ever 43 my communication．
Then the man next to me rose and volunteered this story: "I remembered an 44 from high school．There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked．One night, my two buddies （同伴） and I decided to play a 45 on him． After school, we wrote on the blackboard in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a bastard c恶棍）． The next day, Sheriff Brown had us in his 46 ．My friends told the truth but I lied．No one 47 found out． "

car. “No , excuse me,”she said again. She handed me a three page booklet (小册子).“It looks like you need this,”she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.
I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used book． But by the time I looked up, she was gone． I didn't know what it was exactly, but I knew that if my grandmother had anything to do with this, I didn't want to let it go．

Everyone is busy nowadays． It's hard to find time for anything． From the time we wake up in the morning until the time we go to bed, it's hard to find 30 minutes to simply be by yourself． If you are married with children, I know you can relate to what I am saying．
I would love to have a few days when I come home to an empty house with peace and quiet． There are days when you wish everyone on the other side of the door would simply disappear for about an hour so you can come home and relax without having to start dinner, bathe children, iron clothes for the next day． In fact, finding time to be by yourself is totally necessary if you wish to live a happy, and purpose driven life．
If there is noise going on around you it's impossible to hear the quiet voice that speaks inside of us—that guides us and gives us direction on which path we should take and that is no good． Most of the stuff that we need- to get done, does nothing towards our personal development． If you simply let life direct you, you will find that there is never time to take simply for yourself． Yes, you can schedule a vacation every now and then and that is great． No matter how busy your life may be, spend time each day by yourself to think and reflect on life and listen to that inner voice． So by yourself! Go somewhere you won't be disturbed by the children, the spouse, the phone, the television, the radio, or your emails． Go somewhere you can have total peace and quiet．Pick a time that is convenient for you．
60． Who does the writer intend to write to?
A． Students． B． Married women．
C． Children． D． Husbands．
61． If you wish to live a happy, and purpose driven life, you can do the following except _.

BEIJING - For the first time in decades, Chinese drivers will enjoy a toll-free（免费的） journey home during the upcoming eight-day holiday, which begins on Sunday．An 820-km drive from Beijing to the coastal city of Dalian takes travelers through four toll stations and costs a total of 380 yuan （ $ 60） in toll fees, while a sleeper train is just 240 yuan．
Amid growing calls, the State Council, or China's cabinet （内阁）, issued a tollfree road policy in August, allowing passenger cars with seven seats or less to travel forfree on toll roads during four major holidays．The first toll-free holiday will be the upcoming eight-day Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday．
The removal of toll fees will not only make travel cheaper and more convenient, but will also boost the service industry, as people will spend more money on related services, such as food and accommodation．
Hu Fangjun, an expert from the China Academy of Transportation Sciences, said companies funded （资助） by the toll fees will lose about 20 billion yuan each year throughout the four extended holidays due to the toll-free policy． However, new revenues （税收） earned from increasing spending during the longest holiday season will likely compensate for the losses． The companies that run the toll booths are largely state-owned, while the sector has been named as one of the most profitable in China．
Roads are public． Every citizen has the right to be on the road． The toll-free policy during holidays will give the roads back to the public． and is also a way of returning wealth to the people, which will eventually boost the public's trust toward the government． China's financial revenues have enjoyed rapid growth for decades． The government is capable of offering more welfare （福利） to its people．
63．Cars with fails to be included for the policy of toll-free holiday．
A． seven seats B. less than seven seats
C． no more than seven seats D． more than seven seats
64．The underlined word "boost" in Paragraph 3 means .
A． become worse B．make better
C． cut down D．light up
65．Where is this passage probably taken from?
A． A science textbook． B．A travel guide．
C． A news report． D．A traffic rule．
66．We can infer from the text that .
A．the removal of toll fees will cause more traffic problems
B．the toll-ree road policy will encourage people to travel more
C．the revenues will be cut down because of the toll-free road policy
D．the public will get more benefit from the government
