Sir Emest Shackleton was not only a great explorer, but also he was an intelligent man. He once found himself and two of his men at the top of an icy mountain ridge (山脊) . They had no way to get down to its side. Their destination had been the tiny Whaling Station of strummers, near the South Pole. Shackleton knew if they didn't get down from the ridge, no one would ever hear from them again.

Shackleton knew there was only one thing to do. He explained that they would all have to slide (滑) down. He instructed the two men to wind(绕) their ropes into a coil(卷) .Then each of the men sat down on a coiled and slid down the icy slope into the darkness. When they found themselves at the bottom, unhurt, Shackleton said, "You know, we shouldn't do that kind of thing too often." The laughter broke the tension all the men were feeling. They arrived later than expected, but safely at the Whaling Station.

To find out how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time, the French dreamed of discovering and controlling more land, of expanding(扩大) trade beyond their borders and of spreading their beliefs across the world. In 1535, Francois I, king of France, ordered a navigator(航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore the New World and search for a way to India.

Carrier first arrived at the gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he intended (打算) to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead of reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Standalone, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term "Canada" entered the country’s history. Apparently the word "Canada" came from an India word" kanata", which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Standalone or Quebec. What a huge "village" Canada is!

61. Cartier was ordered to ______

A. build a new country

B. find the New World

C. get in touch with the American Indians

D. know more about America and find a new way to Asia

62. When Cartier reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence he hoped ______

It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.

Al Herpin died at the age of 95.

"Equal pay for equal work" is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they arc unfairly treated by society. They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work.

People who hold the opposite view(观点) (mainly men) have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibilities than women; a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the important decisions, and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even strong views than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to full-time jobs' they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing: making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society.

This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want to escape(逃脱) the limited place which society expects them to fill, and to have freedom to choose between a career(职业) and home life or a mixture of the two. Women have the right not only to equal pay but also to equal opportunities（机会）.

These women have expressed their view forcefully by using the famous statement: "All men are created equal." They pointed out that the meaning of this sentence was "all human beings are created equal."

71. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to demand that ______

A. men should be paid less than women

B. women' s work should not be harder than men's

C . men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work

D. people doing harder work should earn more

72. People who disagree with the women's view believe that ______

A. women cannot make important decisions

B. men have to work much harder than women

C. men can earn money more easily than women

D . men' s responsibilities are different from women’s

73. What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up.

A. Their home life. B. Their present position in society.

C. Their career. D. Their right to equal pay.

74. The women who disagree say that ______

A. women need opportunities to go out of the house more often

B. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they live

C. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes

D. if women are given equal pay, their opportunities will be greater

75. The women use the statement "all men are created equal" to show that ______

A. in American society men and women should be equal

C. men and women had equal power in early American society
