Athens Olympic 110m hurdle champion Liu Xiang felt so relieved to return to racetrack after getting out of the great number of social activities.
Liu arrived in hometown Shanghai Wednesday night and was about to resume training shortly after.
“I am so exhausted from so many social activities, which made me even more tired than training,”said the 21-year-old Liu，who wrote a new chapter in China's Olympic history by winning the country's first ever athletics short-distance running title in the men's 110m hurdles in Athens in August.
"I am happy that I will resume my training soon back in Shanghai，”said the Shanghai native. He turned into an instant national hero with the Olympic glory and one of the most popular Olympic gold medallists, taking part in scores of celebration activities since he returned to China early September.
“My regular training has been interrupted for such a long time that I think I can only run at about 13. 5 seconds now,”said Liu, who clocked a world record-tying time of12.91 to clinch the title.
“I would rather forget what I have achieved in the past and try my best to realize a higher goal，”he said.

This hotel in the trees is famous in the world. People who know very little about Kenya, know
of Treetops.

When Rikke Dausen in Denmark goes to get some milk from the fridge，she has trouble getting past the refrigerator door. But it's not because of any physical obstruction（障碍）．It's usually because the PC monitor in her refrigerators door has informed her that a new e-mail message has arrived. Rikke and her husband are taking Dart in a six-month trial sponsored by a Danish firm and two Swedish partners. They hope to show that computers can be put to much more practical daily use than most people think. Fifty families and singles were provided with a free model known as the "Screen fridge" for the duration of trial.
“It's really very clever,”says Rikke. She can call up e-mail，news reports，sales items at the supermarket or addresses out of the endless ocean of Internet possibilities. "I’m not the type who wants to sit in front of the computer and wait 10 minutes for the modem to connect, ”she says. The creators of the Screen fridge aim at this type of buyer. They think that the machine should attract people who have limited time to solve technical problems or surf online. The PC that is built into the door is very small. It is only two centimeters wide, and completely silent. Everything moves quickly, as Rikke admits. Well，the whole thing is really just an amusement, she says. But when the thing is gone after the test, it will be a pain to have to go down in the basement again to download my e-mail.
68. The writer gives a description of Rikke using the Screen fridge in order to _____.
A. report Rikke's daily life

C. introduce the new product
D. describe modern life

B. To help those who cannot use computers.
C. To make refrigerators more useful.
D. To make computers more convenient.
70. How long has Rikke probably been using the Screen fridge?
A. Several months B. Several years
C. More than a year D. Several hours
71. From what Rikke says at the end of the text we can feel that she _____.
A. is sorry she has to download her e-mail in the basement
B. wishes she would continue to use the Screen fridge
C. is not satisfied with all of the Screen fridge.
D. doubts whether she can really depend on the Screen fridge

The beautiful Gothic stone dormitories（宿舍）in which the college freshmen lived were surrounded by a very high but equally beautiful black iron fence. This was to keep the City out.
Jersey led herself into the quadrangle（四方院子）with a key. Inside，the landscaping was cool and green., Immense old wooden doors, heavy as coffin lids, led into the commons.
Four weeks before the end of freshman year, and Jersey was till in awe of the campus. Still thrilled that she was here, attending the best college in the nation. Her father had graduated back when the school was all men, and she had been brought up on his college stories.
Jersey went to her mail slot, opened it, and found a letter from home. Jersey loved mails. Going to college was worth it just for the mail. She ripped open the letter, which had only one word. ENJOY！said Dad 's handwriting. Wrapped in his letterhead was a hundred dollar bill. Jersey laughed to herself. Dad was so tickled that his little girl was attending his Alma Mater（母校）．All year long he had been celebrating by sending money.
Oh，goody!, She thought. I'm going to get those shoes Mai found at the Downtown Mall.
Mai was one of Jersey's two roommates，a serious competitor for World 's Best Shoppers While lesser shoppers found anything in any store, Mai zeroed in on terrific bargains at every counter. And Jersey's other roommate, Susan，had unbelievably good fashion sense. Susan could take some disgusting（令人厌恶的）orange --- and turquoise（青绿色）scarf ---not fit for a preschooler's bath towel ---pair it with just the right shirt and necklace, and make herself look like a million dollars.
Jersey's proud father was under the impression that she was enjoying classes, boys, dorm life, and the coast ---and she was --- but better than anything, Jersey enjoyed shopping with Mai and Susan. Unfortunately, Mai and Susan had labs on Mondays and, being devoted future research scientists，would work right through dinner. Shopping alone rots, thought Jersey, who cares about shoes unless Mai and Susan are along to giggle and criticize and compare?
The hundred dollars burned, dying to be spent......
72. Which of the following is NOT true about the college Jersey went to?
A. It was once a college only for boys.
B. It had a high reputation in the country.
C. Jersey's father had been a student in this college.
D. It was fenced up to keep the City out.
73. The underlined sentence means _____.
A. Jersey was respectful with fear to her college.
