The Eiffel Tower is one of European most famous buildings. It 　1　 in a park near the River Seine in Paris. It is 300 meters tall. It was designed and 　 2　 by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel many years ago for Paris Universal Exposition.

“Universal” here means “ of the whole world”, and “exposition” is a place where new 　 3　 , new kinds of art and new kinds of the food are displayed.

Eiffel hoped that people could go to the top of the tower 　 4　 , so he asked Elisha Otis to design an elevator. Unfortunately, the 　5　 　government did not like the first design 　 6　 Otis showed them, and they would not let him put the elevator in. In early 1889, the first visitor had to climb hundreds of stairs　 7　 to the top.

It’s interesting that Eiffel 　 8　 lived in the tower where he had his own apartment. Although Eiffel designed the tower for people to visit, it was also for 　9　 use. Now, the tower gets much more 　 10 　than another famous building-the Louvre(卢浮宫).

How I wished I were still in my school with all my friends. I didn’t know anyone here. I could feel that everyone was looking at me.

Renting a color television makes more sense than buying. Here’s why:

1. The longer you rent (租), the less you pay. Each year the monthly rate is reduced. You can reach a low rate of not much more than $12 a week.

2. Service is fast and free（免费）. We can have your set installed (安装) in two days. If anything goes wrong, we’ll have it fixed the same day or lend you another set while we’re mending it. And don’t forget: service and spare parts are free!

3. If you don’t have an aerial (天线), we’ll install one for you, and that will be free, too. All you have to pay is the installation charge (安装费)!

4. You can choose from all kinds of models, and what’s more, if after a certain period of time, and you would like a new model, you can change. How’s that for service?

5. No deposit (押金) is needed. You pay only the monthly rental fee. But if you pay in advance, you can save money. Pay twelve months’ fees when you begin to hire, and we’ll give you a month’s hire(雇用) without charge.

6. If you decide that you want to stop renting and buy the set you have on hire, this can be arranged—with a generous allowance (折扣) for the fees already paid.

（   ）76. From the passage we know _______________________.

             A. the more you rent, the less you pay

             B. the longer you rent, the less you pay

             C. if you rent a TV set for a long time, service and spare parts will be free

（   ）77. What is the good of paying twelve months’ fees when you begin to hire?

            A. One and a half months’ hire free of charge.

            B. One month’s hire free of charge.

            C. Half a month’s hire free of charge.

（   ）78. What does “pay in advance” mean?

            A. You pay the rent for a period of time before you actually get the television.

            B. You pay the rent in front of anyone.                     C. You will be the first to pay the rent.

（   ）79. If you want to rent a color television, ____________________.

            A. leasing company (租赁公司) can have your set installed the same day

            B. you can have a choice of sets to rent

When I was a boy, I didn't have any hair on my head. So I was very shy. I liked to watch my friends play in the park. Sometimes I would join them, but most of the time I just watched them play.

Every day, we would see an old man walking in the park. He had big ears and no hair. We thought he was dumb (哑的). Every time when my friends saw him, they would say loudly, "Hey, Mr. Dumb, what's the time?” But they got no answer.

One early evening, I was standing outside my house, and I saw the old man coming. I was not with any of my friends and there were no other kids around to say the usual words of "greeting( 问候)”.

But how could I let the old man walk by without saying anything? So for the first time, I asked, “Hey, Mr. Dumb, what’s the time?"
