Because of the land shortage in Hong Kong and gradual rise in the population, the government has come up with a very bold housing program to provide flats for the lower income group. Land shortage is really a big problem. It is, therefore, impossible to build low-cost houses. Most of these flats built by the government are high rise flats, some rising to more than twenty storeys. Slums in the urban areas have been cleared and some of these lots have been taken up by the Housing Board to build flats.
Who are the people who live in these flats? They are mainly people of middle and lower income groups who cannot afford to buy private houses. The only way for the government is to build flats and sell or rent them out at reduced prices in order to solve their problem.
Generally the area where flats are built is well served by shops, playgrounds, shopping centers and schools. People do not have to travel far for their daily needs. Bus services run right through some of the housing areas and they provide an efficient means of transportation. 56. The government’s aim is ________. A. to provide free flats for poorer people B. to build more low-cost houses
C. to build houses and flats for the higher income group
D. to make good use of land which is limited to provide flats for the lower income group 57． Multi storey flats are preferred _________. A. because land is suitable for building tall flats B. because they sell at better prices
C. because people prefer living in tall flats
D. because they make good use of land which is limited 58 Most of these flats are _______.
A. within city limits B. near industrial areas
C. on the suburbs of the city D. inside the business districts 59. People who live in government flats are ______.
A. the very rich B. the middle and lower income groups C. the servants D. the very poor 60. The slums have been cleared _______. A. to make way for new shopping centers B. and new shop-houses are built C. to make way for flats
D. and some of these sites have been used for building flats.

With a new Palestinian(巴勒斯坦) prime minister in place on April 23, the US has seen a new chance to put into place its “ road map” for peace. By May 5, the Palestinian had accepted the plan, but Israel（以色列）still wanted major changes to be made.
The fighting between the two states began in September 2000. Israel and Palestine have fought against each other since Israel created its own states in 1948. When Israel won the 1967 war, it gained control of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. Since then, the Palestinians have demanded these three areas be
part of their state.
Mahmoud Abbas became Palestine’s new prime minister after Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat was forced to agree to share his power.
The plan was written last December by the US, the United Nations, the European Union, and Russia. It included three steps.
? The first step is to stop the violence（暴力）on both sides.
? The second step calls for an international conference that draws up the creation of a Palestinian state. ? The final step aims for a lasting agreement between Israel and Palestine, and the support of
neighboring Arab states.
The Palestinians say that the two sides should be taking steps at the same time. But Israel demands the first step must be an end to Palestinian violence.
In the face of such disagreement, many analysts don’t believe the plan can ensure a peaceful future in the Middle East.
61. The text is mainly about _______.
A. the fighting between Israel and Palestine
B. the long road for Israel and Palestine to achieve peace C. a new chance and plan for peace in the Middle East D. international efforts to bring peace to the Middle East
62. What is the root of the conflicts（冲突）between Israel and Palestine？
A. Different beliefs Israel and Palestinians have.
B. The land Israelis live on today once belonged to Palestinians. C. The founding of Israel.
D. Disagreement on how to bring about peace. 63. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Israel and Palestine haven’t taken steps to work for peace at the same time. B. A new leader in Palestine has brought new hope.
C. The “ road map” will settle the disagreement between Israel and Palestine. D. Israel and Palestine have different views about the new plan. 64. Which side do you think the writer is on?
A. Israel’s B. Palestine’s C. Analysts’ D. None of them (C)
The people in the room were tense. Five young engineers were sitting with their boss. They were trying to settle something about where to set up an important new plant.
Suddenly one of the young engineers said what he thought was a good way of dealing with the problem. What he had to say met with an uncomfortable silence. The boss then laughingly pointed out that the same suggestion had been made and rejected some minutes before.
The incident seemed funny at the time. But several months later it didn’t. After the work had been successfully finished, most of the engineers who had worked on it were promoted. But the young man who had made a fool of himself at the meeting was passed over.
What had happened? The young engineer was sure that he had never heard the suggestion made and rejected. He was right. He was a victim of a bad listening habit that he didn’t know he had. Bad listening habits can hurt you a lot in your daily living. Much of your success, both in your work and social life, is related to how you listen. A number of major industries and more than twenty leading colleges have
