　　Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene（场景）, but each perceives（察觉）something different about it.
　　Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket（罚单）. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow（拉着）. For perception（感知） is the minds’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.
　　Many psychologists（心理学家） today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

　　In exactly a year, the most important event since World War 2 will take place in Europe—the start of the single European currency（货币）.
　　For 40 years, Western European countries have been slowly changing their political and economic structure（经济结构）. Their aim has been to replace the confusing and wasteful system of national currencies with a single, united economy. Now this process（过程）is entering its last period. In one year's time, on January 1, 1999, member countries of the European Union (EU) will link their economies together. Three years later, in 2002, their national currencies will be replaced by a single, EU-wide currency, the "Euro".
　　The single currency has taken a long time to arrive. It was first considered over ten years ago, when the EU set up the single market. This aimed to improve EU competitiveness in world markets by allowing for the fee movement of people and good throughout the Union. A single currency was accepted as the logical extension（合乎逻辑的延伸）to removal（移动）of these trade barriers（障碍）.

　60. The single European currency is called ____.

　　　A. pound B. franc C. EU D. Euro

　61. The single currency is ____.

　　　A. earlier than the single market.

　　　B. as early as the single market.

　　　C. later than the single market.

　62. Which of the following is NOT true?

　　　A. Before 1999, people in the EU were able to move freely throughout the Union.

　　　B. Setting up the single market is the most important event in Europe after World War 2.

　　　C. The Euro will take the place of currencies of the member countries in the EU.

　　　D. The USA is not a member of the EU.

　63. Which is the best title of the passage?

　　　A. The Euro B. The EU C. The single Market D. How to use the Euro

C

　　Once there was no zero. To write the number sixty-three, people wrote 63. To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3. The space was there to mean "not any" tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and to read.
　　Later people used a dot（点） to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6.3. But the dot was hard to see. So people put a circle around it. Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space.
　　At last, only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used.
　　Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways zero is used?

　64. Long, long ago, people didn't know how to _____.

　　　A. write 603

　　　C. write numbers

　　　A. how zero happened. 　　　　B. how to write zero.

　　A white-haired old gentleman steps out of his car, bag in hand and coat over his arm. He has called from his office to say that he is on the way. His wife is preparing supper. He can see the light shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to fire and hot milk. It is a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy ground in a pool of his own blood.
　　It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen in the capital city of the United States. It is more likely to happen in the near-deserted city center at night. What happened to him could happen to any of us.
　　Senator Stennis, who is 71, got out of his white Buick at 7:40 p.m. outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said, "Get out! Money, please."
　　He followed the order. He handed over his wallet containing several cards, a gold watch and the only money he had in hie pockets—twenty-seven cents. The youths also said, "Now, we're going to shoot you anyway." Anyway they did. One bullet （子弹）hit him in the leg and struck the bone. The other entered his chest just below the upper pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.
　　Strangely he made it across a ten-meter distance, up eight steps and along twenty more feet of stone path. His wife met him at the door, and saw two men running. The senator told her to call the police and the doctor.
　　The senator is powerful political figure, but it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was. More likely the reason for the killing was that he had only no more than a quarter of dollar—not enough for two cups of coffee.

　　　Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the women's liberation movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.

After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field—physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.
　　Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of anger to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much.
