“I started going to clubs when I was nineteen. My friends went and they told me that I’d love it. They were right.” –Lara
Lara is a twenty-one-year old student who loves dancing. “At the moment, my favorite kind of music is acid jazz. I’d love to go to a Fatboy Slim or Ken Ishii gig. They’re so cool,” says Lara. Fatboy Slim and Ken Ishii are not pop stars—they are famous DJs. Being a DJ these days means more than playing records at a nightclub. DJs like Fatboy Slim have also produced a lot of successful CDs of their own music.
Nightclubs have been popular since the seventies but today’s clubs are different. They don’t usually open until at least 11 pm, and people often stay until 7 or 8 o’clock the next morning. Some clubbers will keep on dancing until 12 o’clock in the morning.
Why has dance music become so popular? Some people believe that clubs give young people what the hippies found in the sixties. They have somewhere to meet people just like them. Many clubbers say that dance music helps them to escape from their problems. They feel they are part of a big happy family. But most people just love to dance.

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
If you’ve decided on a career in the media, you should be sick to death with people telling you how competitive the industries are.
But that may mean that you will find it a little disappointing when you enter a place where perhaps no one will ask you your name, or say hello to you in the morning, and where you are being perhaps not paid to do a job.
There are a number of training schemes offered across the media, which are great routes in. Simon Winder was given his start in publishing by MacMillan’s training scheme. I was sent out to Africa and Asia for a couple of years, selling educational books. It was a terrible job in many ways but interesting training,” said Winder. Because he had learnt first-hand experience about the business of publishing, his training prepared him for a career in the industry. On his return to England, Winder made the move to a senior position at Penguin seven years age.
If you can’t get on to a training scheme, or get a paid job straight away, then ______________ will open up many opportunities to you. It is all about proving that you can do the job. “Identify companies and people whose programs you like, and then simply write to them,” Cinneck advised those wanting to break into television,” Offer to work for free if you possibly can, and the chances are you will impress with your hard work and ideas, and end up staying on in paid employment. That’s how practically every employee of Ten Alps ended up with the company.
Wherever you start out, if you work hard at what you do, your efforts will be rewarded. “Don’t focus on where you want to end up,” advised Ross, “You’ll know where that is when you’re there; just stay focused on the job in hand, and do that as well as you can.”
76. Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)

77. The passage mentions two ways that you can enter the media. Please list them. (Please answer within 10 words.)

78. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

79. What’s the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

In a national spelling contest in America，an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 31 voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E.

When it comes to romance（浪漫）, women prefer someone who is humorous while men choose those who catch their eye, according to an international survey.
The survey, done in 16 countries by Canadian romance publisher Harlequin Enterprises, asked men and women on six continents about personality they liked or disliked and how they went about trying to meet Mr. or Ms Right.
The survey showed differences between countries in the way people tried to impress the opposite sex.
Australians and British men frequently admitted drinking too much, while about half of German and Italian men said they had lied about their finances. Spaniards(people in Spain) were the most likely to use sex to catch someone’s attention.
Eighty percent of Brazilian and Mexican men said they had lied about their marriage or romance as did 70 percent of German women, the survey said.
When it came to meeting that special someone, a majority of respondents(被告) preferred to rely on friends for introductions. The Internet was not a popular hunting ground except in Portugal, where about half the surveyed men and women would like to find people online.
There was a gap between the two sexes in Spain and France. Thirty percent of Spanish men, but no Spanish women, looked for love online. In France, 40 percent of men but only 10 percent of women attended parties, bars and clubs to meet someone, but they did have one thing in common: both sexes regarded looks as more important than their counterparts（相对应的人） in other countries.
When it came to that first meeting, a majority of men surveyed said beauty was more important than brains, while women put a sense of humor at the top of their list.
Physical attraction was the most important for men in France, Brazil, Greece, Japan and Britain. And while 40 percent of Portuguese men regarded intelligence over looks in a first meeting, no Australian men did so.
In the United States and Canada, humor was considered the most important personality by men and women, getting 63 and 73 percent of the vote respectively.
55. Appearance is the most important for men in the following countries except in ___________.
A. Britain B. Japan C. France D. Spain
56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Portuguese enjoy looking for love online best.
B. Humor is considered the most important personality by both Americans and Australians.
C. Brazilian and Mexican men like to lie about their finances.
D. Few people preferred to rely on friends for introductions.
57. Which is NOT mentioned as the standard of looking for love in the passage?
A. Humor. B. Generosity. C. Beauty. D. Intelligence.
58. The purpose of the writer is to tell us _________________ when choosing the opposite sex.

You’re shopping for a high-priced product, but have limited money. How to make the best use of your money? Here are some steps you can take to become a smart shopper.
Step 1. Before buying a high-cost product, think about:

It can be very helpful to know what other people say about a product you want to buy. Product reviews often describe problems. Reviews also tell how people use the product. List product information so that you can refer to it before you decide to buy
