Armstrong’s horn had as many sounds as ten horns—sometimes slow and sometimes sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting. “He does make wonderful music,” said the man who listened happily. “Yes,” said another man, “he makes that horn speak. ”

In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is 36 known as a place for the maintenance(维修)of official business and government cars. 37 it is a place for vehicle maintenance.
More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the 38 to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to 39 me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the 40 , my friend drove his car into the innermost 41 , which had a sign “carpool only”. I 42 what “carpool” meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool. 43 I thought myself clever in asking:
“Is there anything wrong with the car?”
“Nothing. 44 ?” said he.
“Well then, why are you going to carpool?” I 45 .
My friend couldn’t help 46 and told me that“carpool”refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more 47 can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on 48 that.
After dinner, my friend’s neighbor came over to ask whether he 49 “carpool” the next day. “ 50 ,” my friend said, “I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was 51 again, wondering why he could not “carpool” with him since we had “carpooled” 52 . My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbor 53 meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. The first “carpool” is a noun, 54 the second “carpool” is a verb. It is really 55 for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time.

Wu You, a 14–year–old Chinese Australian, used her diary to record what she had experienced in Guangzhou during this year’s Spring Festival travel period.
She, like tens of thousands of passengers stranded (滞留) at the Guangzhou Railway Station, had a Spring Festival she could never forget. But different from most people, she put down what she saw and heard in her diary, which was published in Australia.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Wu You’s grandfather and parents are professional painters, and she started to write diaries with pictures when she was only ten years old. She never expected to become famous because of her diary describing her life in Guangzhou.
“We originally planned to stay for half a month in Guangzhou when we arrived in January,” said Huang Qin, Wu’s mother. But the snowstorm caused the breakdown of traffic and kept the family there. “This is her first Spring Festival in China and probably the most special one,” said Huang. “We watched TV news programs every day and prayed for the snowstorm to be over soon so that stranded passengers could go home as soon as possible.”
Then Wu You started writing diaries about the snowstorm and the stranded passengers, along with the traditional customs in Guangzhou as well as local attractions such as the flower fair.
“In her diary she just wrote down what she heard and saw every day, and with her pencil she added some illustration to every diary. When we went back to Australia, people saw the diaries and asked to publish them on a local newspaper,” said Huang, “because they thought the diaries are very heart – warming.” All of Wu You’s diaries were written in English, and translated into Chinese by her mother. Through her diary, the girl shows her care to the Chinese people. In one diary, she wrote, “I really hope the warmth from people’s love can melt the cold snow and ice.”
72. Wu You wrote diaries during her stay in Guangzhou because she _______ .
A. has the habit of keeping a diary B. wished to make her name known
C. needed a means to kill time D. experienced so many interesting things
73. We can infer from the story that Wu You _____ during the Spring Festival.
A. did nothing besides watching TV and writing diaries
B. helped clear away the snow and ice
C. helped other stranded passengers in difficulty
D. had activities to get a taste of the local culture
74. The underlined word “illustration” in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A. photos B. drawings C. translations D. tips
75. Her diary is believed worth publishing mainly because it tells about the ______.
A. wonderful places in Guangzhou covered in ice and snow
B. interesting ways of locals observing the Spring Festival
C. severe disaster caused by the snowstorm
D. moving stories of the passengers being helped
