What do you see when you look at abstract（抽象） art？Does it make sense to you？Does it look like anything？Is it supposed to？
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century．Artists did not want to paint，draw，or sculpt things exactly（确切地） like they looked．They didn't want their art to be realistic．They were more interested in basic shapes and colours．
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists．He painted and drew in many，many styles．Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours（his"blue period"）．Later，he used more red and pink colours （his"rose period"）．Many of his other paintings are called"cubist（立体画派）"because they are made of painted squares．
After a long time，Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract．He painted people and things using strange shapes．His work was so original； many of his fellow artists didn't understand it．
Kandinsky，another famous artist，used lines，shapes，and patterns to paint his subjects．His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings．
Other artists like the surrealists（超现实主义者），were interested in subconscious（潜意识）．Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work．The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear．Dali，another surrealist artist，painted pictures that look like dreams．
There are still many abstract artists around the world．That's the way many artists prefer．They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it．

Today there are 6.4 billion people on the earth．By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion．There are many people to feed．We need more and more food．
One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants．For thousands of years，farmers have made plants better．Every season，they pick the best plants for the next season．It words very slowly．Since 1983，scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic（遗传的） material．Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified（转基因的） foods，or GM foods．
By changing the genetic material of a plant，it is possible to make new plants．Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases（疾病）．They can also help in our diseases，a kind of rice will be grown，for example，which stops people becoming blind．
Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money．Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food．
GM plants are not natural．No one knows how good or bad they are．Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050．There are strong feelings against them because they are unnatural．They may feed people，then hurt them or their children later．But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses，and they are not going to go away．In 2050，we may think differently about them．

The government in China plans to end its one﹣child policy （政策） and let families have two children instead．The plan was meant to balance （平衡） population development and stop a falling birth rate （出生率）．
China started the one﹣child policy in the 1980s．But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children．For example，some families in the countryside could have two children，if the first﹣born child is a girl．In 2013，the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child．
Jiang Quanbao，a population expert，explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy．"Lots of young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child，"he said．
At the end of 2014，China had a population of 1.37billion people．But the labor market population will drop in 35years．That is to say，the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050．With the"two children"policy，an increase in births can solve this problem．
66．Why does the government plan to end the one﹣child policy？

67．How do most young people in the cities react to the"two children"policy？
A．They support the policy．B．They don't think it is good．
C．They're very interested．D．They're not interested．
68．When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one﹣child policy continues？
A．In 2025．B．In 2035．C．In 2050．D．In 2070．
69．What's the correct time order of the following events？
①．The"two children"policy was announced．
②．China had a population of 1.37billion people．
③．Some families in the countryside could have two children．
④．Families could have two children if one parent was an only child．

I'm David．Long ago I came to the city near my hometown to find a job．I met all kinds of
difficulties and I used up all my money soon．
It was dark outside one day．I got on a bus quietly．Suddenly，a passenger cries in a loud voice，
﹣Someone has stolen my money!I felt nervous，because his money was in my hand．Some people suggested the driver drive the bus to the police station，but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home．The whole bus was very noisy．The driver then stopped the bus by the roadside and turned on the lights．At that time，one passenger said，﹣Turn off the lights and give the thief （小偷） a chance to take out the money．‖Then the bus got dark．When I was still thinking about whether to take out the money or not，the lights were turned off again．I became even more nervous．The lights were turned on again but they got the same result．Then the passengers fell into an open discussion．Later，someone said﹣give him the last chance!‖I felt awakened （醒悟的） and took out all the money when the lights were turned off again．
For many years I have been grateful to those who gave me three chances．When the first and second chances come，you may not be prepared well or don't have enough courage to act．When the third chance comes，you should know clearly what you should do．
