Clearly their having to say goodbye as if its the last time theyre ever going to see me is beginning to wear out my friends. Some of the unfortunate must have said goodbye at least three or four times. Much to everyones delight, I will be setting off this Saturday, but getting all the necessary visas (签证) for the journey has been far from quick, cheap or straightforward.Getting a Chinese visa was easy enough. The Mongolian embassy (大使馆) seemed a bit unprepared for me, or in fact any other tourist, wanting to visit the country in winter and it took half an hour of knocking on the door before I got an answer. The Mongolian visa, however, has a map of the country in the background that should come in handy if I get lost out on the grassland.It was getting a Russian visa that had me wondering if Id ever be able to leave. The requirements for the visa, especially for the trip that I plan to take, were a mountain of paperwork. I was required to prove, for example, where and when I plan on staying in each city and what train I plan to catch between cities.Ive spent a lot of time preparing for this trip, but I still have no idea what to expect on this journey. The planning and packing has taken my mind off any worries I have so now everything is ready and I just want to get going. Im sure I will meet some interesting people and see some wonderful sights, and the sense of the unknown makes it all the more exciting.56. How do the writers friends feel about the delay of his trip ?A Grateful.B Impatient.C Delighted.D Worried.57.

How does the write feel about the trip he is going to take?A Curious and eager.B Patient and encouraged.C Worried but proud.D Tired but hopeful.BLike all other mothers who have small children, I, too, have to steal timefrom my own children at home and from the children who know me as their teacherjust to put a few words down on paper. Many times Ive wanted to write for myself, for other women, for my parents, for my husband, and especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins (双胞胎) . One reason there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new baby is that there is seldom a moment to think of anything else but the babys needs.With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with.Before my twins were born, my days were long and I had nothing to write about. After the twins birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself facing not a pen and paper but milk bottles.Some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 p.m., heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there is really no night. Each feeding lasts a long time. At 1:00 a.m., each of them would begin crying from hunger. At 4:00 a.m., when I finally put them down, I head for the kitchen and light a cigarette. I havent smoked in almost a year, but I feel Ive never needed it more. Im so sleepy and so tired that I dont care.Two years have passed since then and weve managed to live through it all. My days are still very full and even now there isnt one evening when I put the twins down for the night that I dont breathe a sigh of relief (松口气) . At last a little time for myself.60.

Awhen her babies were asleepB when the feeding was overCwhen her friends leftD when evening beganCGood table manners are backCandlelight bathes the restaurant guests in a friendly light, the menu is about to be served. Some guests are prepared to eat while others are looking around with nervous glances. Which knives and forks should be used first, and where should you put the napkin(餐巾) ?For a while table manners were out. Now men and women aged 30 or so are rediscovering the finer points of being polite.Good manners give a pleasant impression(印象). But how do you eat properly? The golden rule is to act silently.

When eating a five-course meala frequent event during the holiday seasonguests needn t feel frightened by the variety knives and spoons before them; you work your way towards the plate from the outside.Uncertain situations often can be mastered with common sense.

If you leave your place，you should always place your napkin next to the plate。After the meal is over，both cloth and paper napkins are folded and not thrown onto the plate.The proper table manners also can serve professional advancement .If a choice has to be made among several people for an important position，the employer may choose to lunch with them .Those who make noise with their lips certainly wont stand a chance. 64.How would you understand table manners in the title?

The dead could have been identified if their names and other important information had been chipped .Officials of the company said they hope to sell the chips to patients with man-made arms or legs or other body partsThe idea is that the chip will provide immediate and correct medical information when it is needed The information can contain name，telephone number and other informationOr it can send out a message that ，when connected to a computer，can call up recordsThe scanner can read it through clothes from over a meter away .The new product also could be used to control prisoners .Workplaces of great importance may want to use the chips for employees, too.
