Mr. Hunt came from a poor family. He had three brothers and two sisters. His father worked hard but wasn?t paid much. And his mother did all the housework at home. They were both able but they couldn?t get enough money for their family.

Mr. Hunt was in school for only three years and he had to stop to help his parents though he

The old worker liked him and married his daughter to him. The young man did not have his own house and had to live with his parents-in-law. His mother-in-law always thought he was poor and often chattered. So the young man tried to save everything and hoped to have his own house.

It was one fine Sunday. The old woman wanted to have a picnic on the top of the hill. She told Mr. Hunt to drive her car. But sometimes she told him to turn left and sometimes to turn right. The young man had to listen to her. At a crossing the lights were red but she made him turn left. The policeman stopped them and told the young man to give his license to him. “If I did wrong, sir,” said Mr. Hunt, “It was my mother-in-law?s fault(过错).

Travel is 64 to us in at least three ways.

First, by traveling we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of different places. We can see many places with our own eyes. We can visit some famous cities and scenic spots(风景区).

Second, we will meet people with different interests and see strange and different things when we travel. We can get ideas of the conditions and customs of other people, taste different foods and local flavours(风味) if we like. In this way, we can understand how differently other people live.

Third, travel will _______ help us to get knowledge of geography and history and other knowledge, _______ help us keep healthy and make us broad-minded(心胸开阔).

七、任务型阅读：阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

In today?s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor. But even if a person has already got plenty of money, . If money were everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always correct.

Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than “I love you”. But can love be bought? I?m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can?t be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

67．从文中找出与下句意义相近的句子。

It seems that a lot of people want money very much now.

68．根据短文内容回答问题。

What are probably the most important things to everyone?

But even if a person has already got plenty of money, 70．将文中划线句子翻译成汉语。
