When Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and jukeboxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like" Hey Porter”, “Ring of Fire”, and “Folsom Prison Blue”.
Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear-and what they see，too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. He's a two-hundred-pound pack-age of muscle aria talent. And that scar on his cheek? It's a bullet hole，of course!
In the minds of most people. Johnny Cash is“Mr. Tough (violent) Guy” He’s an ex-drug addict who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.
In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that--- a story. True，years ago he had a “drug habit” for a short time. He" popped" pills. But he never used heroin or other "hard" drugs. Sometimes he'd go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence. There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in song. As for the “bullet hole”, it s an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst.
People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a“gentle guy”, a “generous guy”----anything but a “tough guy”. How did the stories get started? Some of them like the story about the “Indian grandmother”，he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others，like the“bullet hole", simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people s minds. “they just want to believe it,” he says.

Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee（黑猩俱l．
In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests，Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests，suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination. A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed（品種）known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do，they can't talk back.. Still，it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return！
60. From paragraph 2 we know that _____.

Paynes Prairie
Have you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large，21,000acres. This protected land is called a preserve. The Florida Park Service manages the preserve.
The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh（沼澤）and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water,．During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.
Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10,000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late1600s, the largest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie. Today, Paynes Prairie is preserved land. It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employees
William Bartram visited Paynes Prairie. Bartram was the first person who portrayed（described）nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the" great Alachua Savannah.”
Most of the animal life, which Bartram described，is still here. A large number of sand hill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter. The animal diversity is increased by the presence of pine flat woods，hammock，swamps and ponds.
The Pavnes Prairie Preserve State Park is open year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for recreation. At the Park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horse trails. And you can see lots of nature and wildlife. You can see Florida as it was in the early days.
Paynes Prairie is a part of our Florida history. It is an example of our Florida natural resources. It is a place for recreation. Paynes Prairie is an important experience of the Real Florida.

NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill，which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase ,the effect of painful memories.
In November., experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced，not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument, some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
68. The passage is mainly about _____．
A. a new medical invention.
B. a new research on the pill
C. a way of erasing painful memories.
D. an argument about the research on the pill
69. The drug tested on people can _____．
A. cause the brain to fix memories.
B. stop people remembering bad experiences.
C. prevent body producing certain chemicals.
D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories
70. We can infer from the passage that _____．
A. people doubt the effects of the pills.
B. the pill will stop people's bad experiences
C. taking the pill will do harm to people's health
D. the pill has probably been produced in America.
71. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?
A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.
B. People want to get rid of bad memories.
C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.

What's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices. and pay our money.
We Know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though，tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.
It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the Pagodas to Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.
Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs on posing for photos.
Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure. The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism”. Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems，complex.
But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us，can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.
They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.
What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad，we can：
*Buy local foods and products，not imported ones.
*Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.
*Avoid flaunting wealth.
*Ask before taking photographs of people.
They are not just part of the landscape！
Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.
72. What is probably the best title for the article?
A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects
B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior
C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun
D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think
73. Which of the following is not mentioned?
A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.
B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.
C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.
D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.
74. The underlined phrase" take heart" means"＿ "．
A. pay attention B. take care
C. cheer up D. calm down
75. According to the passage，the writer thinks ___．
A. tourism is not a promising industry.
B. dream vacations should be spent abroad
C. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle.
D. tourists should respect local customs and culture
