Wang Fengqin, a 61-year-old woman in Beijing, volunteers to sort (分类) rubbish in her living area in Beijing’s Chaoyang District.
At 6:30 every morning, while half of Beijing is still in sleeping dreams in bed or enjoying a delicious breakfast, Wang rushes through her busiest hours in the day. She gets up, gives her face a quick wash, takes a simple breakfast and rushes to the four rubbish dustbins beside the gate of her living area. There she checks the waste left by her neighbors to make sure it is sorted correctly.
“Sorting rubbish will improve the environment for all of us and it only takes a minute,” Wang said. “I want to help my neighbors develop good habits.”
As Wang spoke, an old man came by and threw a plastic bag full of rubbish into the dustbin marked “recyclable”
“Hey, please, there are some orange peels (皮) and fish bones in your bag, so they are supposed to be put into the dustbin marked ‘kitchen waste’,” Wang told him.
Learning the old man was in a hurry, Wang let him go, opened the bag herself, picked out the kitchen waste and threw it in the right dustbin.
Wang has been doing this every day from 7:30 a. m. to 9 a. m. and from 6 p. m. to 8 p. m. since March 10. She says people usually go downstairs and throw out rubbish at this time.
Most people had no idea about sorting rubbish at first, but now 90 percent can put rubbish in the correct dustbin, Wang says. However, she plans to keep doing this job until all her neighbors sort correctly.
50. When does Wang Fengqin usually get up in the morning
A. At 7:30. B. At 6:30. C. At 9.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。（1至4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5题须用完整句子回答。）
“How are you ” is a nice question. It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. However, it’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you ” expects to hear the answer “Fine.” even if the person isn’t fine. They are common ways of saying “hello” or “hi”.
Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree ” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t. I think you’re wrong.” It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, “I am not so sure.” This is a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, “I’ve got to go now,” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door,” or “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuse may be real, or not. The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.
63. “How are you ” is just a of saying “hello” or “hi”.
64. If you have a different idea from that of someone else, it is polite to say “I’m not .”
65. When you want to hang up, there are three mentioned in the passage.
66. A suitable excuse is not only polite, but also won’t hurt others’ .
67. Is it necessary to be polite Why or why not _______________________________
