It is a great port where goods from all over the world are brought in and then shipped out to other lands. It is a popular tourist spot and a center of commerce, manufacturing, and banking. It is also a bustling place of people and movement, of great riches and extreme poverty, of bright, vivid colours and dull, gray ugliness.Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated(人口稠密的) places on earth. More than 6,300,000 people are crowded into a total land area of only 1,076 square kilometers. Almost all the people are Chinese. The two official languages are English and the Cantonese dialect of Chinese.Most of the people of Hong Kong live in its cities. The major cities are Victoria, the capital, which is on Hong Kong island, and Kowloon, which lies across the harbor of Hong Kong on Kowloon peninsula(半岛). Because of the dense population and the shortage of living space, some of the people live on small boats in Hong Kong harbor.Hong Kong is marked by contrast between new and old, rich and poor. There are wide, well—paved streets with modern office buildings, department stores, theaters, and fashionable hotels. New apartment houses are found in many parts of Hong Kong. But only a few blocks away are slums(贫民窟) > where the streets are narrow, and the buildings are old and crowded.

Although Leonardo da Vinci is well known for his paintings, it is interesting to learn that Leonardo was a very good student of science. Some of his most important work is in science rather than art.Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 in Italy near the town of Vinci. As a young child, he was very talented at art. He also showed a great interest in machines. In fact, some of his earliest drawings show how machines work. By the time he was a teenager, he had become an apprentice at one of Italy's best art studios in Florence.At the studio, Leonardo learned a variety of skills. He also used lots of different machines which helped him to learn how they worked.Leonardo soon became known around Italy as an excellent artist. He painted in churches in Florence and worked for a rich gentleman in Milan. He produced paintings and sculptures which can still be seen in Italy today. He returned to Florence in the early 1500s, and this is where he painted the famous Mona Lisa.Leonardo kept a diary during his lifetime. This diary shows that around the time that he painted the Mona Lisa, he was becoming very interested in science. He also drew his inventions, plans and the human body in this diary. One of these drawings is of a helicopter. His helicopter was basically the same as our helicopters today. Before his death in 1519, he drew many pictures of the human body that show the detail of the muscles, the bones and the organs, something that was unknown at his time.()68.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry (= unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. Then people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism(散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). T O prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.()73. We should take good care of our eyes_______ .A. only when we can see wellB.only when we cannot see perfectlyC.even if we can see wellD.only when we realize how important our eyes are()74. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) ,one is probably_______ .A. near-sightedB. far-sightedC. astigmaticD. suffering from cataracts()75. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for _______ .A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide areaD. judging distances()76. People who suffer from astigmatism have_______ .A.one eye bigger than the otherB.eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC.a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD.an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses(D)An old Indian story says that the game of chess(国际象棋) was invented by Sissa Ben, Prime Minister of King Shirham. As soon as the invention was finished he gave it to the king, who was glad and asked him what he would like to have in return. To the king's surprise, what Sissa wanted seemed very little. "Your Majesty," said the minister, kneeling in front of the king. "I want nothing but some wheat. Please put a grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard(棋盘) ,two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth...and so on, doubling the number for each following square, give me enough grains to cover the 64 squares of the chessboard. ."You don't ask for much, my honest servant. You might have asked for gold or money," said the king and then ordered a bag of wheat brought to the palace.But when the counting began, with one grain for the first square, two for the second, four for the third, and so on, the bag was emptied before the 20th square. More bags were brought, but the number of grain needed for the following squares increased so rapidly that the king soon realized that the was not able to keep his promise even with all the crops in the whole India! In fact, he would have needed 8,466,744,073,709,511,615 grains, which would be as much as that they would produce in about 2,000 years!Now the king found himself deep in debt to his minister. He had either to face the terrible trouble all his life or to cut off Sissa's head, which, it is said, he finally chose.()77.
