Last April, on a visit to the new Mall of America near Minneapolis, I carried with me a small book provided for the reporters by the public relations office. It included a variety of "fun facts" about the mall, for example, 140,000 hot dogs are sold each week, there are 10,000 full-time jobs, 44 sets of moving stairs and 17 lifts, 12,750 parking places, 13,000 tons of steel, and $ 1 million is drawn weekly from 8 ATMs. Opened in the summer of 2005, the mall was built where the former Minneapolis Stadium had been. It was only a five-minute drive from the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport. With 4.2 million square feet of floor space -- twenty-two times the size of the average American shopping center -- the Mall of America was the largest shopping and family recreation center under one roof in the United States.
I know already that the Mall of America had been imagined by its designers, not merely as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attraction. Elevan thousand articles, the small book informed me, had been written about the mall. Four hunched trees had been planted in its gardens, $625 million had been spent to build it, and 350 stores were already in business.
Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a half-million Canadian visitors and 200, 000 Japanese tourists. Sales are expected to be at $650 million for 2008 and at $1 billion for 2009. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Arnold Schwarzeneggar visited the mall. It was five times larger than Red Square and it included 2.3 miles of hallways and used almost twice as Knott's Camp Snoopy.
60. We know from the text that the Mall of America is
A. near an old stadium
B. close to an airport
C. higher than the Eiffel Tower
D. bigger than most American parks
61. Why are the pieces of information provided by the Mall of America referred to as "fun facts" ?
A. They are largely imagined.
B. They are surprising figures.
C. They give exact descriptions.
D. They make people feel uneasy.
62. Why does the author mention popular stars who has been to the mall?
A. To show its power of attraction.
B. To show that few rich people like to shop there.
C. To tell the public about a new movie being made about it.
D. To tell people that they have chances of meeting famous stars there.
63. We can infer from the text that
A. Japanese visitors are most welcome to the mall
B. Canadian visitors would spend $1 billion at the mall
C. Knott's Camp Snoopy was next to the Mall of America
D. the Mall of America was designed to serve more than one purpose
C
"When one of the doctors criticizes （批评） me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I'm not wrong," says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.
Try to be objective （客观的）. When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol's reaction was to feel sorry for himself. "I had put everything I had into making that sale," Sol says. "And I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure."
Take time to cool down. Rather than react at once to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person's position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.
Take positive action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be "nothing". "I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there," says Sheila. "His criticisms didn't really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them." In Sheila's case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that's an extreme reaction.
You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn't worth fighting this time. The key, in any ease, is to have a reasonable plan.
64. When Sol was criticized by his employer, he
A. argued bitterly with his employer
B. was angry and gave up his job
C. was sorry for what he did
D. was sad and self-pitying
65. According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because
A. people may have a mistaken idea of what you did
B. you should welcome other people's opinions
C. people may discuss it with you in depth
D. you need time to understand yourself
66. When the writer says that "the best answer may be ‘ nothing' ", he means you may decide
A. to take no notice of the criticism
B. to argue with your boss
C. you need to change your job
D. you've done nothing wrong
67. The writer thinks Sheila might decide to leave her job because her boss
A. didn't like her appearance
B. refused to change his opinion
C. made an unreasonable criticism
D. refused to talk to her about the criticism D Bring the Family?

Trees should only be pruned （修剪） when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.
