With a good teacher, such times should be less 57 than with a bad one; so the worse the teacher, the more responsibility you have for your 58 ! Whatever your luck in this 59 , one thing is most significant and stays the same, whatever the quality of teaching you 60 : if there is something you don’t understand, you must ask, again and again if unbelievable how people would rather sit in silent 62 than admit not understanding.

A ticket agent named Elvio greeted the strange dog in a friendly way, so the dog decided to stay. From that day on, the dog became Elvio’s shadow and was named Lampo. 　　Lampo kept Elvio company(陪伴) inside the ticket office. When the Weather was warm, he would enjoy himself in the sun on the train platform. When it came time for Elvio to return home on the train night, Lampo ran after the train for a long way and then sadly gave up and went back to the station. 　　One night as Elvio was riding home on the train, he noticed that Lampo was lying at his feet. Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat. Luckily, the conductor did not notice the Lampo boarded the last train and met his family. Then, after a short visit, Lampo boarded the last train and went back to the station. Lampo quickly learned all of the train schedules. He would ride home from work with Elvio every night and then ride back to the station alone. Every morning, lampo arrived at Elvio’s house in time to walk his young daughter, Mivna, to school. The faithful dog would then take another train to Campiglia to spend time with his master, then travel again to accompany Mivna home from school at 11:30. 　　Soon, Lampo began to take the trains all over Italy. Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog. 　　Some of the railroad officials were against Lampo’s illegal travels. They were afraid he would bite a passenger or cause some other problems. Finally, the stationmaster threatened to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn’t get rid of the dog. 　　Elvio decided to put Lampo on a train going as far away as possible. Months went by and Lampo did not come back. Mivna missed him very much and prayed for his return. Finally one day, a sad, very thin, tired Lampo returned to Elvio’s office. Everyone, even the stationmaster, was sorry about what had happened. From then on, Lampo was allowed to ride the trains whenever he wanted. After seven years, Lampo grew old, and he began to need Elvio’s help to board the train. 　　One day Lampo was seen lying dead on the tracks. A year later, a life-sized statue of Lampo was set up at Campiglia station. 66．The first time Lampo took the train, Elvio was ________. A.delighted that he was lucky B.afraid the dog would bite someone C.afraid the conductor would see him and be angry D.excited that Lampo would soon meet his family 67．Lampo’s traveling all over Italy caused people to believe that ______.

A.Elvio would be fired B.Lampo would be put on the train tracks C.the stationmaster would send him away D.a dogcatcher would be called 69．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story?

What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they’re treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves. 　　All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I”. Here, they learn about the company’s history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success. 　　After passing “Traditions I” , the employees go on to more specialized training for their specific(具体的) jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? ... We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.” 　　Even Disney’s managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车), and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company’s goals more clearly. 　　All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in A
