阅读文章后回答问题，答案不超过四个单词。
A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery(风光) and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war over 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt( 融化).
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.
71.Which part of Italy is Venice in?
________________________________________________________________
72.How do people in Venice move from place to place?
________________________________________________________________
73.What did Venice grow out of in saltwater lakes over 1,500 years ago?
________________________________________________________________
74.When do high waters hit the city every year?
________________________________________________________________
75.Who is trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower?

Make better plans
If you start to do something, you’d better make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.
Live a more active life

Once there was a man named Clarke. He lived alone and owned a small shop in town. He was very kind-hearted and was always ready to help people in trouble. He often gave away what he had to the poor, so, as a result, he was quite poor himself.
In order to help the poor, he learned medicine by himself and tried to help treat the sick people. So the thankful people called him Doctor Clarke even though he wasn’t a real doctor at all.
One day a poor woman asked Doctor Clarke to go and see her husband, who was very ill and felt terribly weak. Doctor Clarke went there and found the family was very poor. The husband couldn’t find a job for a long time and the wife could hardly make any money, either. Doctor Clarke looked him over carefully and to his surprise, the husband was not ill. Instead, he was hungry because there was no food in the house.
“Come over to my house this evening and I will give you some medicine for your husband” Doctor Clarke said to the woman.
When the woman got to his house in the evening, Clarke gave her a paper bag with something inside and said, “Here is the medicine and it will be good for your husband. Don’t open it until you get home.”
“What are the instructions for taking it?” the woman asked.
“You will find them inside the bag.” answered Clarke.
After the woman got home, she opened the paper bag and found there was some money in it!

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual. Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you.You watched and listened curiously. You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.
Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step, you were able to make the right sound for one thing. On that day you came to understand the secret of language: a certain sound means a certain thing. When a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, They can understand each other. Then,and only then, these people have a LANGUAGE.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things , such as BOOKS CHAIRS and SHOES.Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM. And other words described things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express one's idea, such as "I want to go out and play with my friends.”
This is language. By means of language, people can communicate.
So we say languages are means of communication.

Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in most cities in China. TheTransportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the city's parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road in a medium-sized city but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The number of the private car owners is becoming larger and larger. A medium-sized city sometimes sends out about 1,000 private car licenses in a month. Industry experts say this suggests that people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2016，the number of private cars in China reached about 150 million. If one parking lot is for one car ，then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of most cities is short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn't solve the problem. The idea of a“Park &Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and charge higher parking fees. But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
( )81. The underlined phrase “mapping out” in the first paragraph means _________ .
A. making B. arguing C. replying D. comparing
( )82. About _______ drivers can find places to park their cars in a medium-sized city now.
A. 8500 B. 10000 C.15000 D.20000
( )83. What can we infer(推断) from the second paragraph?
A. The city sent out more private licenses in February.
B. Less and less people bought cars in March.
C. The city sent out less private license in March.
D. More and more people are going to buy cars.
( )84. According to the idea of a “Park& Ride” system, the city will________.
A. send out more private car licenses
B. build more parking lots near bus stops
C. encourage people to buy more cars
D. build more parking areas in the city center
( )85. This passage is mainly about __________.
A. parking problem
B. heavy traffic
C. pollution in medium-sized cities
D. building more parking lots in the city center

Do you get angry when your friend sing loudly while you are trying to study? Or when your best friend doesn’t wait for you after school? If you do , you need to take control of your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can cause you lose friends.
Allen Ribet, an American high school teacher, has written a book to help you control your feelings. It tells you how to keep cool when bad things happen to you.
