Never before had I imagined I should have the opportunity to live with so many girls．Would  they 　36　such a single “Hi” from me? I was about to greet my new roommates，　37　they did  not seem to have the same 　38　attention that I had．They just dealt with their own 　39　， sorting out their clothes，and making arrangements for their university life．Thus tranquility（宁静）
became the 　40　atmosphere in the dormitory．
To my surprise，　41　such a situation，I did not feel a sense of 　42　．With time going on，we got to know each other deeper．I was　43　to find that in deep soul we all had great dreams and belonged to the same　44　．
However，not long before the 　45 　was disturbed by my own upset of mind for study pressure．What I was　46　about seemed to have 　47　to do with them and what they were doing and talking about seemed so far away from me．However，one incident changed my 　48　and made me treasure this kind of 　49　better and more confident in our friendship．
One day，when I was leaving the teachers’ office，it was in complete silence and frightening 　50　．At my dormitory gate，I was startled （使惊奇）to find there still 　51 　a little light glimmering in the darkness，so faint but yet so clear．Just under the 　52　of the light，I went to the room without any difficulty．They were in sound sleep，leaving the 　53　light on in the calm world．Tears rolled down my cheeks．
I know 　54　that we all like tranquility，both in environment and in our mind．It is the care that 　55　all the misunderstandings and unpleasantness．

Today was the day of trying the new boat on the river. Nella jumped out of bed, got dressed quickly and woke up her brother Jed.

After 　1　 Nella and Jed arrived at the riverbank and 　2　 the new blue boat waiting for them. They got into the boat and packed their picnic under the 　3　. Nella started the engine and 　4　 they went into the wide, brown and unknown 　5　 of the river.

The boat sounded 　6　 round a bend in the river. On the distant sandbank they saw a long dark creature 　7　 in the sun. It opened one eye at them and then suddenly disappeared into the 　8　.

“What was that?” shouted Jed.

“It looked like a crocodile to me!” said Nella. “We’d better be 　9　. ”

Just as they came round the next 　10　, the engine 　11　 and came to a stop. Nella 12　 to start the engine again. But it wouldn’t start. They were 　13　.

“Let’s get the wooden oars,” said Jed. “Maybe we can push the boat free.

They tried but failed.

“We’re stuck on a 　14　,” said Nella. “We’ll just have to sit here having our 　15　 and wait for the water to 　16　. ”

“It’s boring!” said Jed.  

Suddenly, they felt the boat move. It moved slowly off the sandbank. And the engine started again. Just at the same time they noticed a black   17    by the boatside and in no time it disappeared in the brown water ahead.

They   18   their journey down the river. It was so exciting.

At noon they saw a small river     19    off the main course. It wasn’t on the map. “Let’s    60   in there!” said Nella.

The boat turned into the smaller channel. On both sides grew thick unknown trees.

Bernice Gallego sat down one day this summer, as she does pretty much every day,and began listing items on eBay. She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card. She stopped for a moment and admired the picture. “Red Stocking B. B. Club of Cincinnatti,” the card read, under the reddish brown color photo of ten men with their socks pulled up to their knees.

As a collector and seller, it’s her job to spot old items that might have value today. It’s what Bernice,72, and her husband, Al Gallego, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique store.

This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay. She took a picture, wrote a description and put it up for auction.She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents. Later that night she got a few odd inquiries---someone wanting to know whether the card was real, someone wanting her to end the caution and sell him the card immediately.

The card is actually 139 years old. Sports card collectors call the find “extremely rare” and estimate the card could fetch five, or perhaps, six figures at caution.

Just like that, Bernice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story. “I didn’t even know baseball existed that far back,” Gallego says, “I don’t think that I’ve ever been to a baseball game.” The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back. It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200.

When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was-----an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnatti Red Stocking.

“When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted,” Mirigian says. “ They’ve uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine. That card is history. It’s like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso.”

67. 1.What can we conclude from paragraph 3?

   A.Bernice had to pay some fees for her card on eBay.

   B.Bernice wanted to end the caution that night.

   C.Bernice decided to sell the card for $15.

   D.eBay charged her 20 cents for the card.

68. 2.The underlined word “fetch” in paragraph 4 most probably means “_______”.

   A. go and bring   B. add up to   C. go down to   D. be sold for

69. 3.From the passage we may learn that _______.

   A. Bernice is a baseball fan

   B. Bernice is the last person to purchase the rare-baseball card

   C. Bernice unexpectedly became the owner of the rare-baseball card

D. Bernice didn’t realize the value of the card until she put it up for auction

70. 4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.A Surprisingly Valuable Discovery

B.The History of the Baseball Card

C.Bernice Gallego---A lucky collector 

D. Sports Card Collectors
