26、ight, I will be setting off this Saturday, but getting all the necessary visas (签证 ) for the journey has been far from quick, cheap or straightforward. Getting a Chinese visa was easy enough. The Mongolian embassy (大使馆 ) seemed a bit unprepared for me, or in fact any other tourist, wanting to visit
27、the country in winter and it took half an hour of knocking at the door before I got an answer. The Mongolian visa, however, has a map of the country in the background that should come in handy if I get lost out on the grassland. It was getting a Russian visa that had me wondering if Id ever be able
28、to leave. The requirements for the visa, especially for the trip that ! plan to take, were a mountain of paperwork. I was required to prove, for example, where and when I plan on staying in each city and what train I plan to catch between cities. Ive spent a lot of time preparing for this trip, but
29、! still have no idea what to expect on this journey. The planning and packing has taken my mind off any worries I have so now everything is ready and I just want to get going. Im sure I will see some interesting people and see some wonderful sights, and the sense of the unknown makes it all the more

Many times Ive wanted to write for myself, for other
33、 women, for my parents, for my husband, and especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产 ) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins (双胞胎 ). One reason there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new baby is that there is seldom a moment to think of
34、anything else but the babys needs. With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with. Before my twins were born, my days were long and I had nothing to write about. After the twins birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself facing not a pen and paper but milk bottles. Some nig
35、hts, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 p.m. , heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there is really no night. Each feeding lasts a long time. At 1: 00 a. m. , each of them would begin crying from hunger. At 4:00 a. m., when I finally put them down, I he
36、ad for the kitchen and light a cigarette. I haven t smoked in almost a year, but I feel Ive never needed it more. Im so sleepy and so tired that I dont care. Two years have passed since then and weve managed to live through k ail. My days are still very full and even now there isnt one evening when
37、I put the twins down for the night that I dont breathe a sigh of relief(松口气 ).

40、evening began 64 Good table manners are back Candlelight bathes the restaurant guests in a friendly light, the menu is about to be served. Some guests are prepared to eat while others are looking around with nervous glances. Which knives and forks should be used first, and where should you put the n
41、apkin(餐巾 )? For a while table manners were “out“. Now men and women aged 30 or so are rediscovering the finer points of being polite. Good manners give a pleasant impression(印象 ). But how do you eat “properly“? The golden role is to act silently. You should not talk to someone with your mouth full.
42、When eating a five-course meal-a frequent event during the holiday season-guests neednt feel frightened by the variety of knives and spoons before them: you work your way towards the plate from the outside. Uncertain situations often can be mastered with common sense. For example, many unknown salad
43、(沙拉 ) greens can be difficult to tell from one another, but you can cut them all with a knife. The napkin remains subject special care. The correct way is to fold it in half and lay it on your lap (膝上 ). If you leave your place, you should always place your napkin next to the plate. After the meal i
44、s over, both cloth and paper napkins are folded and not thrown onto the plate. The proper table manners also can serve professional advancement. If a choice has to be made among several people for an important position, the employer may choose to lunch with them. Those who make noise with their lips
45、 certainly wont stand a chance. 64 How would you understand “table manners“ in the title? （ A） Act properly while eating. （ B） Choose proper kinds of food. （ C） Eat with knives, forks, and spoons. （ D） Fold the napkin neatly all the time. 65 Guests who are unfamiliar with table manners often appear

48、hips one day be planted in our bodies for identification? A US doctor has planted under his skin a computer chip (芯片 ) that can send personal information to a scanner(扫描仪 ) ,a technology that may someday be widely used as a way to identify (识别 ) people. The chip gives off information which will be s
49、canned by a hand-held reader. The chip is similar to that planted in more than 1 million dogs, cats and other pets in recent years to track and identify them. The doctor decided to test the chip himself after the World Trade Center disaster(灾难 ). The dead could have been identified if their names and other important information had been chipped. Officials of the company said they hope to sell the chips to patients wit
