A
Most people think of racing when they see greyhounds（灰狗）and believe they need lots of ex-
ercise. They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance run-
ning. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the
bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive（好斗
的）because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.
Greyhounds can live for 12 – 14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that
they make great pets. They don’t need a lot of space, don’ t make a lot of noise, and don’ t eat a
lot for their size.
Normally , greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is , however, a small-sized greyhound,
which stands only 33 cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the
most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.
Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because they’ re slim
（苗条的）they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height . But they do feel the
cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.

56．The text is written mainly .
A．to tell people how to raise greyhounds
B．to let people know more about greyhounds
C．to explain why greyhounds are aggressive
D．to describe greyhounds of different colors
57．It can be inferred that greyhounds .

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christ-mas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership－a shop selling cars－was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you”－two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on ar-
rival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficult-
ties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant（显著的）problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation（动机）, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining（保持）or increasing motivation. Sev-
eral years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.

65．What is the text mainly about?
A．Foreign students have more problems.
B．There are many ways to improve English.
C．Teaching should meet students’ needs.
D．English learning problems should be studied again.
66．Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students ___________.
A．had to write their papers
B．became better at speaking
C．became less interested in reading
D．had fewer problems with listening
67．We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ___________.
A．different teaching methods should be used
B．grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
C．English courses are necessary for foreign students
D．teaching content should be changed halfway
68．The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to “___________”.
A．re-think
B．activity
C．motivation
D．timetable

Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画) much influ-enced(影响) by Krenkel and St. John for five years.
For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked
