Mr. and Mrs. Bell are very forgetful. For example, Mr. Bell sometimes goes to his office for work on Sunday morning, for he thinks it is Monday. And Mrs. Bell sometimes forgets to cook supper for the family.
One summer they planned to fly to New York for their holidays. They got to the airport only ten minutes before the plane took off. So time was short. But suddenly Mrs. Bell said she must tell Alice, their daughter, not to forget to lock the front door when she went to school. As Alice was then at school, they couldn’t tell her about it by telephone. So they hurried to the post office. Mrs. Bell wrote a short note to Alice while Mr. Bell bought a stamp and an envelope（信封）. Soon the note was ready. They put the stamp on the envelope in a hurry and dropped it in the letter box, but suddenly Mrs. Bell began to cry. The short note was still in her hand. She had put the plane tickets in the envelope.

What is a bird?
Any animal that has feathers is a bird. All birds have two wings and two legs. Modern birds have no teeth, but they have a hard mouth part. It helps them catch and eat their food. All she-birds lay eggs, and most birds build their homes. Birds — like people — are “warm-blooded”. Their body temperature stays about the same no matter how hot or cold the air is.
Why do birds have feathers?
Feathers help a bird to keep warm. In cold weather, their feathers act as a blanket by holding in body heat. In warm weather, a bird squeezes (挤) its feathers against its body to let body heat escape.
Feathers also help a bird to fly. While flying, a bird uses its outer wing feathers to move forward in the air. Wing feathers and tail feathers are used to keep balance (平衡).
What do birds eat?
Different kinds of birds eat different kinds of food. Usually birds have favorite foods, but will eat some other things, too. Many birds like worms and insects (虫) best. Birds that live near water often eat fish. Some birds eat meat — snakes, smaller birds, and other animals. Some birds eat fruit. Many small birds live on seeds.
Now you know more about birds.
56. What is the passage about?
A. Feathers. B. Birds. C. Food. D. Weather.
57. Modern birds have a hard mouth part to help them ______.
A. fly in the sky B. take a rest
C. run on the ground D. catch and eat their food

A. stays about the same B. changes a lot

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科医生） and part of it taken out．Today，however，we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation．The sick person falls into a kind of sleep，and when he awakes， the operation is finished．But these happy conditions are fairly new．It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain．
Long ago，operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything．The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off， and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched．
Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”．Laughing gas became known in America．Young men and women went to parties to try it． Most of them spent their time laughing，but one man at a party，Horace Wells，noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas．He decided to make an experiment on himself．He asked a friend to help him．
Wells took some of the gas，and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth．Wells felt no pain at all．
As he didn't know enough about laughing gas，he gave a man less gas than he should have．The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out．
Wells tried again，but this time he gave too much of the gas，and the man died．Wells never forgot this terrible event．
61．It is ______ since a man being operated felt all the pain．
A. a few more years B. not long C. few years D. two thousand years
62．Long ago， when the sick man was operated on，he ______．
A. could feel nothing B. could not want anything
C. could feel all the pain D. could do anything
63．Using the laughing gas， the people did not seem to ______．
A. be afraid of anything B. feel pain
C. want to go to the parties D. be ill
64．If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ______．
A. felt nothing B. felt very comfortable（舒服的）
C . still felt pain D. would die
65. One who took too much of the laughing gas ______．
A. would laugh all the time B. would die

When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in the modern era，two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist（存在）According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post，the tragedy（悲剧） occurred on the afternoon of December 14,2002 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water．
More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the children Two children were quickly rescued，but the third died．The child's body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers，Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao，also died of cold and exhaustion（筋疲力尽）.The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day．A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake．When they heard the children's cries for help， they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children．But the ice kept breaking，causing most of them to fall into the icy water．
Local residents held mourning ceremonies（祭奠仪式）at the lake．
Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation，but their lives were no longer in danger．
66．The underlined word “occurred” here means“______”．
A.
