    The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again．In a victor of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home．
     Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year． For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled． And to deal with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof．
   Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr．Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs．The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr．Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business．
    To raise money for the idea, he toured the City's private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint． He introduced his idea to four of Mint's directors and won their support． Mint has committed around￡500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr．Dunlop's business． The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year．
    For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards． They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior（外部的） advertising space．
    The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year． Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK．The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious．
63．"Eco-friendly tents" in paragraph l refer to tents          ．
A．economically desirable B．favorable to the environment
C．for holding music performances D．designed for disaster relief
64．Mr．Dunlop established his business         ．
A．independently with an interest-free loan from Mint
B．with the approval of the City's administration
C．in partnership with a finance group
D．with the help of a Japanese architect
65．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．The weather in the UK is changeable all year round．
B．performances at all British festivals are given in the open air
C．The cardboard tents produced by Mr．Dunlop can be user-tailored
D．Cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users．
66．The passage is mainly concerned with            ．
A．an attempt at developing recyclable tents

    Michael froze as he heard the voice on the radio saying that a man had been murdered by a bullet that had come from the sky．Thinking that the shot they had fired possibly was the shot that killed Mr．Ward, he immediately drove off． For the next two months, Michael and Joe hid the secret that the bullet had actually shot Mr．Ward．
    During this time, Jenna Ward started to realize life without her father． While Jenna mourned the death of her father, a strange boy started to appear at the front steps of the church．After many nights of watching this boy, she finally recognized that it was Michael who was sitting on the steps every night．
    After months of finding out where the shot came, the police arrived at Michael's house．His dad mentioned the gun that Michael had received from his grandpa at his birthday party． Michael told the police that Joe had borrowed the gun． Upon this, Joe said that the gun had been stolen out of his car along with his CD player． After the police were gone, Michael met Joe and told Joe the gun was under the wood pile in his backyard．
    One day, Michael came home to find the police searching his backyard with metal detectors．When the Sergeant（警官）went into the woods behind the house, he came out with a bullet that Joe and he had shot off on his birthday．The bullet matched the one that they had recovered from Mr．Ward, but without the gun, the police could not place Michael as the killer．
