Did you enjoy yourself yesterday? I suppose you did. But I’d like to tell you how a bad day I had yesterday. Nothing just went wrong. On the morning, my alarm clock didn’t ring, so I woke up an hour later, I was in such hurry that I burnt my hand when I was cooking breakfast. Then I ran out of the house to catch the 8:30 buses. This is the bus I usually take. But, you may laugh, I had missed it of course. I am very unhappy, and scared as well because my teacher hates the students come late to school. So I ran three miles to school only to discover that nobody was there. The school was quiet but peaceful. Our schoolroom was locked. I realized that it was Sunday.

　　 Dear Sir,

I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route: No. 49 and 　No. 16. However, by the time No. 16 reaches So UK Road, it is always full . 　71 　　

　 The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes. 72　　 The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. 73　　

　 The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. 74　　 　There were 129 of them.

　 Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “ Maximum speed:50mph.” 75　　 Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60 mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph.

It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?

A.　　　 I counted the other passengers as they got off.

B.　　　 Is there anything we can do to change this?

C.　　　 The problem is that we have to pay more for our trip.

D.　　 The distance from So UK Road to the airport is 10 miles.

E.　　　 This leaves No. 49 which sometimes has empty seats on it.

F.　　　 If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?

G.　　 Why is it that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?

Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.

Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.

Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.

If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.

No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.

68. What is the source of the suggestions for fighting shyness?

A. The author of the article.　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Shy men and women.

C. Doctors and psychologists　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Popular entertainers.

69. Which of these can you conclude from reading the article?

A. Shy people never have any fun.　　　

B. Entertainers choose their work to fight shyness.

C. The attempt to overcome shyness is always successful.

D. The attempt to overcome shyness is always worthwhile.

70. The main purpose of the article is to 　　　　　　　　　　.

C. persuade readers that shyness is natural D. prove that shyness can overcome

Exploit your parking space 　　　　 An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to　￡200 or ￡300 a week. Put an advertisement for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark. Rent a room 　　　　 Spare room? Not only will a lodger (房客) earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won't have to pay any tax on the first ￡4，500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy. Make money during special events 　　　　 Don't want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis.

　　　 Monkeys are very similar to us in many ways. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us. In fact, scientists say monkeys and humans share a common ancestor.

　　　 Monkeys make us smile, too, because they are creatures full of playful tricks. This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts. One of these expressions is monkeyshines, meaning tricks or foolish acts. So, when a teacher says to a group of students: “Stop those monkeyshines right now!”, you know that the kids are playing, instead of studying.

You might hear that some teacher warn a student not to monkey around with a valuable piece of equipment. You monkey around with something when you are touching or playing with something you should leave alone, Also ,you can monkey around when you feel like doing something, but have no firm idea of what to do.

Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal, activities. A news report may say there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting secret payments from builders.

You may make a monkey out of someone when you make that person look foolish. Some people make a monkey out of themselves by acting foolish or silly.

If one monkey has fun, imagine how much fun a barrel of（一桶） monkeys can have. If your friend says he had more fun than a barrel of monkeys at your party, you know that he had a really good time.

Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. In earlier years, performing monkeys’ tight-fitting, colorful jacket looked similar to a military uniform. So, people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit.
