Mr Harris taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called 'birdcat' , which died out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull (头骨) as he talked. We all took notes carefully and later we had a test.

When he returned my paper the next day, there was a big red 'X' through each of my answers. I had failed! There had to be some mistake! I had written down exactly (确切地) what Mr Harris said. Then I learned that everyone hi the class had failed. What had happened?

Very simple, Mr Harris said. He had made up all that 'birdcat'. There had never been any such animal.

The information in our notes was, therefore, incorrect. Did you think you would get good marks for incorrect answers?

Needless to say, we felt that was unfair (不公平的). What kind of a test was this? And what kind of a teacher?

We should have figured it out, Mr Harris said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the 'birdcat' skull, in truth a cat's, hadn't he been telling us no other findings about this animal except the skull? He had told us many unbelievable things about the animal, such as the size, the colour, the strength. . . , but none of us had questioned.

Mr Harris said he hoped we would learn something from this lesson. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct. In fact no one is. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.

Up to now I haven't made any great scientific discoveries, but Mr Harris's class gave me and my classmates something just as important; To look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong.

People like reading newspapers every day. Newspapers tell us about all kinds of news in our home town, in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far, far away.

But hundreds of years ago, news of such things took months or even years to travel from one country

to another. In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and was never completely true.

Newspapers today bring us with much more than just what happened at home and in foreign countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to, we can look in the newspapers.

In many countries notices (告示) or ads (广告) are put in newspapers. People who want to get jobs, to buy houses or cars. . . , or even to look for a missing person, would look in the newspapers. And what's more, some people read newspapers only to kill time!

63. The first paragraph mainly (主要地) tells us that

A. why people read newspapers

B. newspapers bring us news that took place everywhere

C. we can learn news outside our country

D. we can learn news that happened on the same day

64. We know that hundreds of years ago according to this passage.

A. newspapers were carefully passed from one person to another

B. newspapers travelled slowly from one place to another

C. news that people learned was not true

D. news would often changed as it went around

65. The main idea of the last two paragraphs is that .

A. people often put some information in newspapers

B. newspapers have some other important uses besides bringing news

C. newspapers can help people get new jobs or buy houses

D. we can read the weather report in newspapers

66. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?

A. In the early years news often went around without written words.

B. If someone wants to find a missing child he can put a notice in newspapers.

C. Some people read newspapers to get information; some to kill their interests.
