Today is Sarah’s birthday. She is seventy-five. We asked a few old friends to dinner.

Like most elderly people, I suppose, we spent most of the evening talking about old times. Thirty years ago, the village used to be a quiet place. Now it has changed. Every Sunday hundreds of cars pass through the village at what I think a dangerous speed. They make the village almost as noisy as the streets of a large town. As a boy I enjoyed riding on the backs of the farm horses. Things are different now. Today there are very few horses working on the farms. The farm workers today drive tractors, not horses. A man is not of much use on a farm unless he knows all about machines. Now almost every house in the village has a TV set. Is it a good thing for children to spend the evening sitting in front of a TV set? When I was young I did not waste my time indoors. I would spend the long summer evenings outdoors. I would play with my friends, go fishing or walk by the river. When my grandchildren asked me the reason why I haven’t bought a TV set, I tell them there are many books I still want to read. I can’t find time for both reading and watching TV. 29. The old like to talk about _______.

A. themselves B. others C. the past D. nothing 30 When I was a boy, I _______ riding on farm horses. A. used to see people B. disliked

C. was fond of D. saw some elderly people 31. Which is NOT right according to the passage? A. In the past the village was a quiet place.

B. It is a good time for children to watch TV all evening.

C. On Sundays many cars pass through the village at a dangerous speed. D. When I was young I didn’t waste my time indoors. 32. I would rather _______ than _______.

A. watch TV; do some reading B. play with friends; go fishing C. do some reading; watch TV D. go fishing; play with friends

Liverpool city council want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their

normal diet would consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre.

The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons is responsible for the streets being so crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.

Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds - known as “robops” - will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different locations. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.

33．What do Liverpool city council try to do?

A．They want people to feed the pigeons with healthy food. B． They want the pigeons to move out of the city centre. C．They want people to keep the pigeons at home.

Have you ever heard “Tuhao, let’s be friends?” Are you puzzled, wondering 71 it means? Then you’re possibly out of date.

Nowadays, the Chinese words “tuhao” and “dama” have become so familiar with many Chinese people that they often play jokes 72 each other when chatting about the daily life.
