The first thing was an Afghan blanket at a church raffle（抽奖） when he was 25 years old. But this was much bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube, a state lottery game. To win, a contestant must first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X, 100X, 500X, and 1000X. If he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables（变量） is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that you will win any money. Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a tough decision. Finally, Sam flipped(掷) a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000. Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking excitedly on his cell phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a little sports car. Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month. His hospital bill was $109,000. And the insurance company for the little sports cars owner charged Sam for $10,000 worth of repairs. Also, Sam still has to pay federal taxes on his winnings. Sam doesnt play the state lottery any more. He says its better to be unlucky. 60. According to the passage, “the Big Cube” is _.A. a TV programB. a lottery gameC. a quiz showD. a real-life show61.

He was hit by a little sports car when he was going out of the lottery studio.D. His big prize was hardly enough to cover all the expenses after his accident.63.

Good Luck Doesnt Come EasyCIn this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some sociologists suggest that one little noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.Before the appearance of television seats, the American dinner was a big event for the family. In many homes dinner time may be the only time when everyone got together. A typical dinner was usually in three stages. In the preparation stage, the children and Father frequently helped with setting while Mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating stage, family members shared the days experiences and more than food was consumed. In this stage families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity（团结） was strengthened. In the cleaning up stage, children or Father again gave their hands, so that their significance to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been erased by a productthe television set.By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner was just twenty minutes long. The speed up of this once leisurely experiences is clearly connected to the overall pace of modern life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinnersmeals designed to be consumed between the opening and closing credits of a half hour program. The once family affair has now become nothing more than the use of a fork and knife.64.

In the past, Americans tended to .A. spend more time eating their food at dinner tableB. eat more food than they have todayC. spend more time talking about their days experience at dinner tableD. talk so much that they forgot to eat66.

Online computer game centers exist in many cities and towns throughout Asia. Facing the pressures of school and life, people tend to the virtual world, expecting a diversion from these problems. Too often, however, they can lead to problems and unhealthy addictions.This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. The country has the worlds highest percentage of high-speed Internet services. It also has a high number of online game players and related problems. In 2002, a young man collapsed(突然晕倒) and died while playing online games. He had been playing almost nonstop for 86 hours at an Internet caf. Another young man killed his sister after becoming confused between the online world and real life. A 12-year-old boy stole US $ 16,000 from his father and ran away from home. He did this to continue his obsession(着迷) with an online game. Such problems, however, dont just happen in South Korea. They are spreading to other parts of Asia, as well.What kinds of people develop online game addiction? What does the problem look like? Dr. SueHuei Chen, a clinical psychologist, researches Internet addiction. She discovered some signs of at-risk individuals such as lack friendships and good social skills. Those problem individuals feel it so compulsive to play online games that they could sacrifice things such as school or family. They feel the need to spend
