The idea of rain making is almost as old as man, but it was not until 1946 that man succeeded in making rain. In ancient(古代的) times, rainmakers claimed(声称) to be able to bring rain by many methods; dancing, singing, killing various kinds of living creatures (including humans), and blowing a stream of water into the air from a kind of pipe.

More recently, some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns, causing explosions, or burning chemicals, the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall. These rainmakers asked for as much as 1,000 dollars to make an inch of rain. One was so effective that he was almost hanged. He was believed to have caused a twenty-inch rain in southern California that flooded that land, killed several people, and did millions of dollars’ worth of damage.

Before 1946, rainmakers were either liars or honest people who happened to have good luck. Scientific rain

making was started in that year by Vincent J. Schaefer, a scientist at the laboratories of the General Electric Company in New York State. His success was the result of a lucky accident that changed years of failure into victory.

54．Who was the first rainmaker succeeding in making rain? [ ] A．The one who caused a twenty-inch rain in southern California

Daphne asked Jim, a friend of Walter’s, for some extra help on her political science homework. On Friday, they

agreed to meet at his dormitory(宿舍) study room at 8 Sunday night. It was 8:05 when Jim arrived. He wasn’t on time as he usually is, because he had been out enjoying the spring weather after eating at MacDonald’s. But he wasn’t worried, because he knew from Walter that Daphne was usually late. When Daphne hadn’t arrived by 8:25, Jim was a little surprised. He decided to go to the dorm lounge(休息室) and watch his favourite Sunday night TV show. It started at 8:30, so he had to hurry.

“Did you adjust(校正) your watch last night?” Walter asked. Then he explained, “Last night you were supposed to move your watch ahead one hour. We do this every year on the last Sunday in April. Then, on the last Sunday in October, everyone moves clock back an hour. We say spring ahead, fall back to help us remember which way to adjust our clocks.” Walter stopped to see if Jim had understood his explanation.” You don’t do tha t in Indiana, I guess.”

“No, we don’t, “Jim said, shaking his head. “In that case, I was over an hour late for my appointment(约定) with Daphne, not only five minutes. Wow! She’ll never let me forget this!”

On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple received a very special telephone call. It was only a

20-second call but it was very important. The Haydens’ 15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them. “I’m phoning to wish a happy Christmas,” she said, “I love you.”

Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called “Alive and Well”. The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run a way from home.

Young people can phone “Alive and Well” and leave a message for their parents. The telephone are answered by answering machines. So no one can speak to the child or make him return home. Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home. So children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through “Alive and Well” they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses.

The Haydens and their helpers write down the

tape-recorded telephone messages and connect the addresses given. Many of the 30,000 British teenagers (十

In exactly a year, the most important event since World WarⅡwill take place in Europe—the start of the single European currency(货币).

For 40 years, Western European countries have been slowly changing their political and economic structure(经济结构). Their aim has been to replace the confusing and wasteful system of national currencies with a single, united economy. Now this process(过程) is entering its last period. In one year’s time, on 1 Janu ary 1999, member countries of the European Union (EU) will link their economies together. Three years later, in 2002, their national currencies will be replaced by a single, EU-wide currency, the “Euro”.

The single currency has taken a long time to arrive. It was first considered over ten years ago, when the EU set up the single market. This aimed to improve EU competitiveness in world markets by allowing for the free movement of people and goods throughout the Union. A single currency was accepted as the logical extension(合乎逻辑的延伸) to removal（移动）of these trade barriers(障碍).

67．The single European currency is called ______.

[ ] A．pound B．franc C．EU D．Euro

68．The single currency is ______. [ ]

A．earlier than the single market

B．as early as the single market

C．later than the single market

D．as late as the single market

69．Which of the following is NOT true? [ ]

A．Before 1999, people in the EU were able to move freely throughout the union.

B．Setting up the single market is the most imortnt event in Europe after World WarⅡ

C．The Euro will take the place of currencies of the member countries in the EU.

D．The USA is not a member of the EU.

70．Which is the best title of this passage? [ ]

A．The Euro B．The EU

C．The Single Market D．How to Use the Euro
