For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it. ”“Why pick on my family?” Jessicas father said with anger. “Your family history isnt so good, you know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes? ” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still angry each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessicas mother sank into a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessicas put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad. ” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “Theyre both crazy,” she thought.61.

At this stage, you need to decide what you are going to call this event. You should make the name and the advertisement special, so that people will give them a second look. Depending on your economic situation, you need to decide whether you want to hold this event for amateurs or for experts. The next thing is to choose a proper place to hold the tournament.Plan of Action during the EventWhile the players are on court, you have to make sure that everything they might need is made available to them. Since golf is a sport that is played in the open, guests should be given drinks from time to time, preferably a drink of their choice. There should also be enough dustbins to keep the court clean. The things the guests need, from extra equipment to drinks, should not be put off for any reason. Announcement of some contests, lucky draws (抽奖) and prizes during the event will add to the entertainment of the tournament. Another one of the successful golf tournament ideas is an auction(拍卖) of some particular things during the game. You can get some equipment signed from the players.Post Tournament NecessitiesNow that the tournament is over, you need to keep a small after-party in the form of a dinner. During this party, the guests can actually communicate with the players and congratulate those who won.66. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. The event means more to the audience than to the players.B. Only professional players can attend the golf tournament.C. The most important thing for the tournament is advertising.D. Its important for the organizer to draw the audiences attention.67. The following are done before the tournament EXCEPT_.A. choosing a playing fieldB. organizing an auctionC. naming the tournamentD. advertising the tournament68. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The guests need should be met as soon as possible.B. All the players and audience can attend lucky draws.C. The auction can only sell the equipment of the players.D. Only the players can attend the party after the tournament.69. Why does the organizer announce the lucky draws and other activities?A. To have fun himself.B. To earn more money.C. To please the audience.D. To attract more players.70. The passage is mainly written to _.A. introduce what a golf tournament isB. call on people to join in golf tournamentsC. introduce how to organize a golf tournamentD. share the experience of attending golf tournaments with readersCI finished my last evening shift of the week and could hardly wait to get home.
