Late last night, or early this morning, something terrible happened in East Town. Mr Raymond Johnson has lived in East Town and has worked there as a manager for many years. He is forty-two years old, unmarried, and he lives in a big wooden house on Moonlight Road. The people of East Town know Mr Johnson as an unusual man. He does not often leave his house, but his business has made him very rich. Last night, at about midnight, a man who was out walking saw that one of Mr Johnson’s rooms was on fire. He immediately called the fire station, and the firemen arrived soon after. It took them half an hour to put out the fire. The firemen were surprised that Mr Johnson did not come out of the house, and two of them went inside to look for him. But Mr Johnson was not in the house. In the bedroom the two men found an open safe（保险箱）, which was empty. There were papers on the floor. Mr Johnson’s bedroom windows on the ground floor of the house were open. The firemen also found a set of keys in the room. The police then found out that the keys belonged to Mr Paul White, who visited Mr Johnson at his home yesterday evening. The police are sure that they know the motive（动机）for the crime and are looking for Mr White. The police are puzzled because nobody knows where Mr Johnson is.

Red squirrels used to be a common sight in British forests and countryside. But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels left now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels (introduced from North America) are now so common that many people dislike them. They can be legally（合法的）trapped and destroyed.
On first sight, the two types of squirrel are similar. They both have a long tail, which helps the squirrel to balance when jumping from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs. However, the grey squirrel has a clear physical advantage over the red. The
6
red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 centimeters, a tail length of 15 to 20 centimeters and a body weight of 250 to 340 grams. Compared to this, the grey squirrel is a larger animal. The head and body measures between 23 and 30 centimeters long and the tail is between 19 and 25 centimeters long. Adult grey squirrels are heavier, weighing between 400 and 600 grams. This size allows them to store more fat and helps them to survive a hard winter, which would be fatal（致命的）to their smaller cousins . So why are red squirrels losing out in competition with grey squirrels? Size is one factor, but there are others. Red squirrels live high up in trees, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means any loss of forests greatly influences the red squirrel population. Another reason for the grey squirrel’s success is its ability to use food provided by people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel can survive in towns and cities. The other problem for the red squirrel is disease. Both squirrels carry a certain virus. While this doesn’t seem to attack grey squirrels, it is fatal to red squirrels.
69．Which are introduced from North America, red squirrels or grey squirrels? 70．What helps the squirrel to balance when jumping from tree to tree? 71．How much do adult grey squirrels weigh at most?
72．Who are the “smaller cousins” mentioned in the second paragraph?
73．There are four reasons why red squirrels are losing out in competition with grey squirrels. Please list TWO of them.（每条不得超过4个单词）

Actions speak louder than words
It happened in the park. Someone left the tap running after washing hands. Soon after an old man passed by and saw this. He was surprised. “What happened? Who did it?” He shook his head and went away. Then a young man came. When he saw this, he was so angry that he began shouting, “What a waste!” With these words, he also left. After a while, a little girl who was playing nearby quietly walked to the tap and turned it off without saying anything.
We may see such things in our daily life. Just as the saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” It’s no use just complaining. Everyone can do something to make a change!
