Going to the beach is many American’s favorite activity. They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater. But those days are long gone. In the summer of 1988, many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage（廢料）from hospitals was found in the water. The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood, and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood. At some beaches, sewage（下水道）was found in the water. Americans were shocked by this state of affairs. People didn’t think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight.
Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful. San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that’s full of chemicals. Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin. People are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution. Most American cities put their garbage in the ground. But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean. Boston Harbor is so polluted that scientists say it won’t recover until the next century. The government has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant, Cleaning up oceans won’t be easy, but people can no longer ignore（忽視）this challenge.

I will never forget the lesson which Mr. Li gave us. One day Mr. Li was speaking to us in our school meeting room. He began his speech by holding up a ?? 100 bill. He asked, "Who would like this ?? 100 bill?" Most of us put up our hands quickly. Then he said, "I am going to give this ?? 100 to one of you, but first let me do this." He then made the bill into a ball and said; "Who wants it now?" We raised our hands again. But he said,“Wait a moment.”He then dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said, "Who still wants it?" Many hands were still up.
"My friends," he said, "you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ?? 100."
"We sometimes lose confidence in ourselves." He went on speaking, "We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn't come from what you do or who you know, but WHO YOU ARE."
"You are special and valuable. Don't ever forget it!'

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager (十幾歲的孩子) problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round．Sprawling himself (懶散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed．“I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said．“He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn't forgotten them. He' s just decided that he' s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad．Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.

A．a(chǎn) specialist in teenager studies B．a(chǎn) headmaster of a middle school

A．the change from good to bad that ' s seen in a child

C．the opinion that a child has of his parents
D．the advice that parents want their children to follow
73．The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.
A．lazy B．quiet C．unusual D．rude
74．From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.
A．pay no attention to them B．a(chǎn)re too busy to look after them
C．have come to hate them D．feel helpless to do much about them

Australians have been warned they face a life-and-death decision over their water—drink recycled sewage(污水)or die.
With the drought(干旱)continuing，the country is set to be forced to use purified(凈化的)waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.
Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier.
“I think in the end，because of the drought，all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water, ”said Peter Beattie.
“These are difficult decisions，but you either drink water or you die. There’s no choice. It’s liquid gold. It’s a matter of life and death.
Beattie said Australia’s second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.
Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.
But Australians have never liked the idea.
To try to change the way Australians think, Prime Minister, John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered to Queensland’s move.
“I am very strongly for recycling and Mr. Beattie is right and I agree with him completely, ”Howard said.
“Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water, ”added Turnbull. “All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall. ”
72. According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A. Nobody disagrees to the idea of drinking recycled purified water.
B. Australia’s second largest state has become the first state to introduce the policy.
C. No other countries but Australia decides to drink recycled water.
D. The drought is the worst one in the droughts recorded in Australian history.
73. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Australians have never liked drinking purified waste water.
B. Australians should develop more water sources to live through the hard time.
C. Australians can’t depend upon rainwater，which is not suitable for drinking.
D. Australian government has no ability to solve the problem of water shortage.
74. The underlined phrase “adhered to” in Paragraph 9 probably means _______.
A. disliked B. gone against
C. supported D. doubted
75. It can be inferred from what Peter Beattie said that _______.
A. he gives orders to drink purified waste water
B. it is painful for him to see his people drink recycled sewage
C. if the decision is made，people won’t survive the drought
D. it’s up to you to make a life-and-death decision
