    　　John H．Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918．His father died in an accident when John was six．He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks．

    　　Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother．John remembered that his mother told him many times,“Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe．”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother．“You have to earn success,”she said．“All the people who work hard don't succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard．”

    　　These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education．She also knew that believing and hard work don't mean everything．So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago．

    　　Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for．John's mother and stepfather could not find work．But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words－-as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School．His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks．

    　　While others discouraged him, John's mother offered him more words to live by：“Nothing beats a failure but a try．”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the ＄500 he needed to start the Negro magazine for blacks．

    　　It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful．He always keeps his mother's words in mind：“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”

    　　Now John H．Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America－worth ＄150 million．

    Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.
    　　Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary(周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement—signed in London on April 8, 1904—marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
    　　But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war—which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite(不管, 尽管) French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac's body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake.
    However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties. “The British population was against war, ” said Francois Heisbourg, director of the Paris-based Foundation for Strategic Research(战略基金研究会). “So it could have actually helped bring the two sides closer. ”
    　　The history of divisions(分割, 区分) may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. “The French think Britain is not doing its best to become part of Europe by not introducing the single European currency(货币), ” said Geoff Hare, a former lecturer in French politics and language at Newcastle University in Britain. “France has spent the past 15 to 20 years making itself seen as part of the European Union. ”
    　 But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However,only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted.Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France's close relationship with Germany. Or because the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US.
    　　Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here's one:What's the best thing about Britain's relationship with France? The English Channel.
    1. For centuries, the relationship between England and France is______.
    A. friendly
    B. impolite
    C. brotherly
    D. a mixture of love and hate
    2. The war in Iraq does ______ to the relationship between France and England.
    A. good
    B. harm
    C. neither good nor harm
    D. both good and harm
    3. The British are not so friendly to ______ and the French are not so friendly to ______.
    A. Germany;America
    B. America;Germany
    C. Germany;Germany too
    D. America;America too
    4. What does the last sentence mean?
    A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.
    B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.
    C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.
    D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.
    5. What is the main idea of this passage?
    A. The British differ greatly from the French in culture, origin and custom.
    B. The British and The French are against each other because of the very different ways in which they see the world.
    C. The celebration of the 100th anniversary of the signing of a friendship agreement mark-ed the mixture feeling of love and hatred over the last century between Britain and Franc-e.
    D. The British dislike France's close relationship with Germany, while the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US.

    C
    　　The curtain on the 2008 US presidential election finally rose last month as Requblican Senator(参议员) John McCain and Democratic Senator Barack Obama were formally selected as candidates of the two major parties.This may be one of the hardest decisions voters have to make between two appealing candidates.The big question for voters,as they face both an economic downturn and international threats,is :who will they elect? A young first - term senator promising change and new ideas,or a longtime senator with strong military experience and a reputation as a maverick(特立独行的人)？
    　　American voters have never seen a candidate quite like Obama.He has a white mother from the US and a black fater from Kenya who left the family when Obama was very young.He spent part of his youth in Indonesia.
    　　However,McCain has a very different life story.
    　　He grew up in a Navy family and was a daring pilot during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. When Obama was in kindergarten in Indonesia,McCain's plane was shot down over Ietenam and he became a prisoner of war.McCain could have been set free if he disowned America but he refused and so was held for five years.
    　　"We need a president who is very,very old,"McCain joked at his age as many others do.If elected,he would be 72 when he takes office and the oldest man to step in.
    　　So in the end,the election may depend on several factors that are hard to judge:Will Obama's race matter to a significant number of voters ? Will workingclass whites who tended to support his primary (党内初选) oponent,Hillary Clinton,vote for Obama? And perhaps most important of all,will uncertain voters be more attracted to Obama's vision or to McCain's experience?
    　　Whatever happens,one thing is clear,however:Whoever walks into the White House on January 20,2009,will find huge challenges waiting for him in the Oval Office,both at home and abroad.
    　　64.______makes the result of the election hard to predict.
    　　　A.Whether working class whites care about Obama's inexperience
    　　　B.The economic trouble the country now faces
    　　　C.Who uncertain voters will finally decide to vote for
    　　　D.McCain being too old to govern the country
    　　65.The appeal in Obama as a presidential candidate lies in _________
    　　　A.his multi - cultural background
    　　　B.his belife in tradition
    　　　C.his inexperience in politics
    　　　D.his fantastic promises
    　　66.The word "disown" in Paragraph 6 means closest to ______.
    　　　A.flee from
    　　　B.turn his back on
    　　　C.not keep it private
    　　　D.expose secrets about
    　　67.The challenges that will face the new preident______.
    　　　A.are not mentioned in the text
    　　　B.include buklding a strong party and a friendly image
    　　　C.refer to the problems of immigrants and economy
    　　　D.refer to the problems of economy amd international relations
