My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I’d call my father right away and he’d rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970, when I was named President of the Ford Motor Company, I don’t know which of us was more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their love – not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity – nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn’t get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn’t allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.

The Attack on September 11th
New York: When the first jet struck 1 World Trade Center at 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center with a view of the instant damage across the divide had the clearest sense of what they, too, must do: get out fast.
Katherine Ilachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years ago, Ms Ilachinski, and architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, a manager, screamed and set off too.
But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.
Amid the uncertainty about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower instructed people to stay put, assuring(使…确信) them that the building was sound and the thread was limited to the other tower.
Some left, and others stayed. Some began the climb down and, when met with more announcements and other warnings to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of GREat importance, because many who chose to stay were sure to die when the second jet crashed into the south tower, killing many and stopping many more in the floors above where the jet hit.
One of those caught in indecision(犹豫不决) was the manager at Fuji Bank USA.
Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.
“I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr Jacobs said.
67. From the passage, we know that the south tower was hit by the plane _____.
A. at 8:30 B. 18 minutes earlier than the north tower
C. at around 9:06 D. at 8:48
68. The underlined words “stay put” means _____.
A. stay in the building B. leave at once
C. put everything back and then leave D. keep silent
69. Which floor was hit by the second jet?
A. the 91st floor B. the 103rd floor C. the 60th floor D. the 79th floor
70. We can infer that fewer people would have died if _____.
A. more announcements had been made B. people hadn’t used the lifts
C. the incident had happened on a weekend D. the people had obeyed the office rules

Major Cities Take Steps To Protect Water Resources
Faced with the threat of water shortages, Beijing and Shanghai will take effective measures to save water and protect water resources.
Beijing will stick more strictly to water-saving policies through the readjustment(调整) of industrial structures. Beijing is expected to be short of 1.185 billion cubic metres of water by 2020. Beijing will shut down factories with high water consumption(消耗) and pollution including electric power, steel and paper making equipments. Advanced water-saving technology will be introduced to new industrial projects in the capital city.
Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water and more trees will be planted. Animal breeding and other “highly efficient” agriculture with modern water-saving irrigation methods will be developed.
It is said that water used in agriculture will drop to 35 percent of the city’s water consumption in 2010 from 43 percent in 1998, and the figure will continue to drop to 28 ~ 30 percent in 2020. Beijing will increase the speed of renovation(修复) of its urban water supply equipments. It’s reported that more than 15 percent of water is lost during distribution(分发). Water-saving equipment and efficient management can save Beijing more than 537 million cubic metres by 2010.
Shanghai still faces key problems connected with its water resources and environment. Since 1998, the city has invested nearly US$169 million to treat its rivers, especially Suzhou Creek. The city’s rivers have become noticeably clearer since putting it into action.
The government will provide a further US$24 million for the treatment of rivers and US$12 million to treat sewage(污物).
This year’s task is to improve the water quality at the three ports of Longhua, Yangshupu and Hongkou. Another emphasis is to raise the water system in Songjiang New Area with a project worth US$4.8 million. Efforts will be made to improve public awareness about the need to protect water resources.
71. How many measures has Beijing taken to save water and protect water resources?

73. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.

74. From the passage, we know Shanghai will invest _____ million dollars on the treatment of river and sewage.
