Consumers at the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant are led by a waiter with nightvision goggles(夜視鏡). Inside Dark Restaurant in Beijing，a table of 30 dinners was getting quarrelsome.“I'm touching your head！”said one，like a talkative child.“Who just said that？”another replied.Such voices floated across the 90plusseat restaurant，but no one could see who was talking， except the waiters，who were equipped with militarygrade nightvision goggles.
In the new conceptual dining，restaurants are turning off the lights to focus attention on the food.The trend seems to have started in Zurich and has since spread all over the world， with dinners sitting in unlit rooms and，lately，being served by waiters in nightvision goggles.The idea is that by depriving(剝奪) one sense (sight)，other senses are heightened.
Darkness has other benefits.“Chinese people tend to be shy，” said Chen Long，who owns Whale Inside Dark， which opened in January.“People have found it easy to break the ice here.”
The first dark restaurant，which opened in Zurich in 1999，had a simple intention.The goal “was creating jobs for the blind and handicapped people，”said the manager.The concept has been popular in Paris，London，Sydney and elsewhere， offering new variations on sight deprivation，by which people can experience a lot in a completely dark condition.
In Beijing，the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant is not only about heightening the sense of taste，but lowering social inhibitions(壓抑).It is popular with Internet daters，who met on matchmaking Web sites that are spreading throughout China. Dinner for two is about 225 yuan，or $29 at 7.76 yuan to the dollar.
Eating in the dark is not without its troubles. Instead of familystyle dining，food is served on singleserving plates. When each dish arrives，the server guides your hand to the plate and offers helpful tips like，“This course is eaten with a spoon.”
The style seems to be working.“People feel a lot more comfortable when they can't be seen by others，”said Mr.Chen，who is opening a second branch in Shanghai，“Couples get to know each other without seeing other's faces.”

Marianne was learning to play the piano，and day after day Leopold stood behind her as she practised.How patient her father was，and how cleverly he showed Marianne how to play some particularly difficult pieces！She was making progress，very good progress，and that was excellent.And there，almost lost in the big chair，sat Wolfgang，who never had to be told to keep quiet when Marianne was practising.One evening at sunset Leopold patted Marianne's shoulder，saying she had done well.At that moment Wolfgang climbed on his father's knee and begged to be allowed to play the pretty piece Marianne had now mastered.What a joke that was！Picking up his baby son，Leopold laughed and said，“Look at your small hands.You must wait，little man！”
There was no end of fun during tea，and Marianne had to tell her mother about Wolfgang wanting to play a difficult piece.When the meal was finished，Marianne helped to clear away the dishes.Suddenly Leopold got up.“Listen！”said he in a surprised voice.“Listen！”“Marianne is playing the piece better than ever！”
But Marianne was washing dishes in the kitchen.
His wife following，Leopold walked quietly upstairs，the lamp in one hand，his music book in the other.He pushed open the door，and there was little Wolfgang playing in the darkness.“I love it.”whispered the child.

Years ago，when I started looking for my first job，a wise adviser urged，“Barbara，be enthusiastic！Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.”
How right they were.Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
“Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm，”wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough.It is the inner voice that whispers，“I can do it！”when others shout “No，you can't.”
It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock，a geneticist(遺傳學(xué)家)who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine，to be generally accepted.Yet she didn't let up on her experiments.Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
Author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote，“Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul”.
Enthusiastic people also love what they do，regardless of money or title or power.If we can't do what we love as a fulltime career，we can treat it as a parttime interest，like the head of state who paints，the nun(修女)who runs marathons，the official who handcrafts(手工制作)furniture.
We can't afford to waste tears on “mighthavebeens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “whatcanbe”.
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly，with all our senses—finding pleasure in the fragrance of a backyard garden，the crayoned(蠟筆的)picture of a sixyearold，the enchanting beauty of a rainbow.It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes，a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls.
68.What can be the best title of this passage？
A.Find pleasure in what you are doing
B.Wake up your life
C.To give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul
D.No pains，no gains
69.What conclusion does the writer draw through the experience of finding a job？
A.Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.
B.Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
C.We can't afford to waste tears on mighthavebeens.
D.Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into
opportunity and strangers into friends.
70.Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage？
A.No one can achieve great success without enthusiasm.
B.Enthusiasm will take a person further than any amount of his experience.
C.We should make great efforts to do the things that can be done instead of regretting for the past.
D.Barbara McClintock was generally accepted many years before she won the Nobel Prize.
71.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “let up on”？
A.Continue. B.Make fewer efforts.
C.Make great efforts. D.Stop.

59.解析：推理判斷題。由文章第四段可知，建飯館的初衷是幫助盲人和智障人，后來(lái)這種做法逐漸流行，能夠讓人體驗(yàn)在黑暗的環(huán)境中的感受，從而理解盲人。A項(xiàng)說(shuō)法太絕對(duì)；C項(xiàng)是文章就有的內(nèi)容，而非推斷內(nèi)容；D項(xiàng)文章未提。答案：B

答案：D
64.解析：推理判斷題。父親教姐姐瑪麗安練琴時(shí)，小沃爾夫?qū)谂赃叺拇笠巫由响o靜傾聽(tīng)，這暗示他被琴聲吸引，對(duì)音樂(lè)有濃厚的興趣。倒數(shù)第二段的“I love it”也表明他對(duì)音樂(lè)的熱愛(ài)。所以選B。
答案：B
65.解析： 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中“ Look at your small hands.You must wait，little man！”可推知父親覺(jué)得沃爾夫?qū)昙o(jì)還小，不足以彈鋼琴，故A項(xiàng)正確。
答案：A
66.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)“The life was fairly welloff...”中fairly welloff意為“富有”，因此排除A項(xiàng)；B、C中的very，extremely分別為“非常”、“極其”之意與女中的fairly“相當(dāng)?shù)?，還算”的程度有別。答案：D

70.解析： 細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。第四段介紹了：It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock，a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine，to be generally accepted.但并沒(méi)有說(shuō)她得到廣泛認(rèn)可是在獲諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)之前。所以D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。答案：D
71.解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。Barbara McClintock獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)后，她一如既往地堅(jiān)持工作，因此從未放松(let up on)做實(shí)驗(yàn)，也未想到停止。由此可見(jiàn)，這里let up on應(yīng)和make fewer efforts同義，意思是：放松。答案：B
語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文講述了一個(gè)靠編各種“悲慘故事”到處騙錢(qián)的家伙。這個(gè)騙子已引起了警方的注意，警方公布了這個(gè)騙子的一些情況，并提醒人們見(jiàn)到后立即通知警方。
72.T解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，conman是指通過(guò)編故事來(lái)騙取錢(qián)財(cái)?shù)娜恕?/span>答案：D
