I might be letting my young son watch too much television. I am certainly watching too much many of his programs. They can really be puzzling as they force you to ponder the mysteries of life.

For example, when Franklin (the turtle) wanted a pet, his parents did not want it to be a frog. They felt that frogs belong in a pond. Isn’t that where turtles belong? And why is it that Little Bear’s animal friends can all talk and behave like people, but his friend Emily has a dog that can only bark and fetch? Tell me that isn’t a mystery!

Dog lovers can be reassured (less worried or frightened) by Kipper and his friends. These dogs are very human. However, the only time they wear clothes is when they put on bathing suits to go swimming. I am confused! Speaking of dogs, could Pluto ever be Goofy’s pet? I don’t get it! What did the great Mr. Disney have in mind?

And this is unfair! The other day we watched a very nice little pig setting up a picnic. One of the foods was a big ham. Could it have been a soybeam ham? Is there such a thing? I hope so! Another thing that really bothers me: what if Elmo(one of my son’s favorite cartoon stars) isn’t real? He can’t be a mere puppet(木偶)! He’s got a better attitude than most people. I just keep wondering.

I think we will turn off the TV and go out for a walk. Maybe we will run into that mouse who dresses well but certainly doesn’t speak as clearly as the average bear.

1. The underline sentence “ponder the mysteries of life” in the first paragraph means         ____.

A. avoid the mysteries of living things.

B. remember the mysteries of all kinds of life style.

C. consider the mysteries of living things. 

D. discover the mysteries of all kinds of life style.

A. a pig has a picnic because pigs are dirty animals

B. a pig eats soy beans because soy beans give pigs gas

C. a pig eats ham because ham is too expensive for farmer animals

D. a pig eats ham because ham is made from pigs.

3. The author probably      ____.

A. believes that Elmo is a real creature

B. wishes that Elmo were a real live creature

C. feels that Elmo is very annoying creature

D. won’t let is son watch Sesame Street

4. The author is implying that      ____.

Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(網(wǎng)上拍賣).
Buying for Beginners
Sign up on www. eBay. co. uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now ” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出價) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish, you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to Pay
Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.
Selling Made Simple
If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big Things in Life
It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collectively sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
64. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to make payment online.                       B. Ways of making delivery online.
C. How to use an online-auction system.             D. Advantages of an online auction system.
65. After bidding for an item, a buyer ________.
A. has chances to make higher bids                    B. will get what he wants in ten days
C. should make payment immediately          D. may check its picture and description
66. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is ________.
A. through a local banking system                      B. by sending the money to the seller
C. through an online payment system                 D. by paying the deliveryman directly
