61、根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题

On November 19,1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.

It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes.

At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."
Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.

Today, every American school child learns Lincoln´s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.

66、根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题

This is the age of the quick action. We have instant satisfaction, fast food, speed reading, mobile phones; even the stress management books have titles like  "Stress Management in 60 Seconds".

Canadian Classics Professor Margaret Visser points out that the perception that we have "no time" is one of the most strict concepts of Western culture. Visser says that "no time" is used as an excuse and also as a spur (刺激); it both goads us and forces us, just as a concept such as "honour" did for the ancient Greeks. According to Visser, the feeling that Westerners have  "no time" is abstract, quantitative, amoral (非道德性的), unarguable, bringing pressure on each person as an individual. At the same time, the  "no time" excuse escapes censure by claiming to be a condition created entirely out of our good fortune.

Life offers "so many pleasures, so many choices".

The fact that women now work outside the home has contributed to the "no time" trend. But more important, Visser says, is the fact that feeling rushed has become an important component of our economy. Marketing of "time-saving" products causes people to buy more and work longer. So we eat out or buy prepared food to save time. The fax-it-to-me-in-my-car technology only contributes to the constant hurry. In our rushed and exhausted state, even the obligation (义务) to sit down to casual meal with family seems like a pressure. In comparison with the decision to act on a sudden whims (一时的兴致) to consume a microwave mug of soup, the act of eating together and not getting up from the table until everyone else has finished seems an incredibly time-consuming event. Being in one´ s own personal hurry in the West is somehow "free and preferable".

{TS}What does "goad" in "it both goads us and forces us" in the second paragraph probably mean?

A、Free.

B、Sour.

C、Instruct.

D、Stimulate.

67、The word "censure" in "the ´no time´ excuse escapes censure" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to " ___________ ".

A、examination

B、force

C、blame

D、pressure

68、The following things have led to the "no time" trend in the West according to the passage EXCEPT___________.

A、Feeling rushed has become an important component of our economy

B、Women now work outside the home

C、People now prefer to be in their own personal hurry

D、People are rushed and exhausted

69、Which of the following doesn´t contribute to feeling rushed?

A、Marketing of time-saving products.

B、The fax-it-to-me-in-my-car technology.

C、Eating together and not getting up until everybody has finished.

D、Longer working hours.

70、We can learn from the passage that "no time" trend ___________.

A、exerts pressure on the individual

B、is very desirable to the individual

C、is not harmful if you have no control of events

D、has caused heart diseases and psychological problems

71、根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题

Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.

Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing
and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straight forward.

"Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o´clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs."
When the elderly person makes confused statements, e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: "You don´t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you help me with the dishes?"

We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual case.

{TS}The main subject of the passage about elderly people is ___________.

A、their general care and welfare

73、A difficulty experienced by other people is that they may ___________.

A、worry too much about the old person' s condition

B、find it difficult sometimes to deal with matters calmly

C、try to do too much for the person concerned

D、fail to understand the old person' s problems
