anyone who has traveled to amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: amsterdams story is a tale of two cities one during the day and a completely different one at night.during the day, this largest city in the netherlands sits quietly on the amstel river. you can rent a bicycle, visit the van gogh or anne frank museum, or take a water taxi. but when the sun goes down, the partying begins. in the big clubs and in the coffee shops, tourists gather to talk politics and smoke.several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule amsterdam. and theyre all within a short cab ride of each other. for example, dam square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events. several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there. and theres the royal palace and the magna plaza shopping mall.but at night party-seekers come to the square. hip hop or funk music (疯狂音乐) is heard there. so if you come, be ready to dance. the clubs dont shut down until 4 am.and while youre there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city. dont worry about getting lost. although dutch is the official language, most people in amsterdam speak english and are happy to help you with directions. and youll notice that half the people walking around in the streets are on bicycles they rent.amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system. for about 10 dollars, you can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise (巡游) the “venice of the north”.the city has a historic past. one impressive place to visit is the anne frank house on nine street. it was there that the young jewish girl wrote her famous diary during world war ii. visitors can view annes original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the nazis for two years.66. what means of transport is not available to visitors in amsterdam?a. a carriage. b. a bicycle. c. a canal bus.d. a water taxi.67. when getting lost, a visitor can ask natives for directions in_.a. only dutch b. dutch or englishc. only englishd. chinese and english68. what can you learn about by visiting the anne frank house?a. the wonderful past of amsterdam. b. the experience of a beautiful girl survivor.c. the life of jewish during world war. d. the suffering of the dutch in wars.69. the passage is intended to_.a. call up peoples memories of world war b. tell readers what a tale of two cities is aboutc. instruct visitors what to do and see in hollandd. offer readers some information about amsterdam70. this passage is most likely taken from _. a. a personal diary b. a test paper c. a travel journal d. a history bookdwe all know that birds use their feathers(羽毛) to line their nests. but have you ever heard of a bird eating its own feathers? it is a bird which lives in the water and it is called the grebe. the grebes feathers are silky to touch and are black or gray in color. it is usually 7 to 10 inches long and has short wings and a pointed bill(鸟嘴). it eats its own feathers and feeds them to their young ones too. and, it always prefers soft feathers, which it gets rid of throughout the year.scientists believe that its feather-eating habit is linked to the process in which it throws waste. the grebe has a unique excretory system. it throws out one or two balls of waste through its mouth every two days. the main food of grebe is fish. so the ball of waste has something hard to digest like fish bones and scales(鱼鳞). and there are parasites(寄生虫). it is important for the grebe to throw these parasites out. if it didnt, they would make it sick. according to scientists, the feathers add fiber to its waste. it makes it easier to form the ball of waste and to throw it out.another interesting characteristic is its toes(脚趾). they are united to form a web near the base, while the rest are rounded like an umbrella. the shape of its toes helps it to swim. in fact, the grebes are excellent swimmers and they use their feet only for diving force under water.th
