Passage 3
Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary and attack（攻击）.
Figures show an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine \"It will never happen to me\". Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.
Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.

Passage 4
College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.
First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, \"No, you're not going out tonight,\" or \"Did you finish your homework?\" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!
Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Mary mount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, \"Are you a new student?\" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, \"Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going.\" Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.
I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!
76. The text is perhaps written by . A. a new student B. a new teacher C. a foreign reporter D. a foreign visitor 77. What does \"gives me a sense of responsibility\" in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel . A. responsible for my parents B. responsible for my teacher C. responsible for the school D. responsible for myself 78. One thing that he liked was . A. the comfortable dorm B. finding his way around C. his studies as a first year student D. the friendly people 79. What is New Gerard? A. It's a student's name. B. It's a teacher's name.

C. It's a dorm's name. D. It's a school's name. 80. Which of the following is NOT true?
