Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass. Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres（4 feet）in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo. Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres（1 foot）across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green. Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings. Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built. In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money. 56. How is bamboo like grass? A. It grows quickly. B. Its wood. C. it is easy to cut D. It is very thin57. Though you can see bamboo everywhere, it doesnt grow _. A. in China B. in EuropeC. on mountainsD. in Africa58. Why is bamboo used by African poor farmers? Because _.A. it is cheap B. it has different colours C. it is strong D. it has been used by Asians59. Bamboo pipes can _. A. make money B. be trees C. grow quickly D. carry waterBSoccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way was it through training and practice, or are great players born, not made?First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate（模仿）. In the history of soccer, only seven countries have ever won the World Cup. There has never been a great national team or a really great player from North America or from Asia.Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Pele, who is often named as the greatest soccer of all time, was the son of a soccer player. He began to play soccer with his father when he was only three. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood a poor, crowded area where a boys dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer（艺人）. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball” made of rags（破布）. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall（对着墙壁踢球）in the slums（贫民窟）of Belfast.All great players have a lot in common, but that doesnt explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.60. According to the writer, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Great soccer players are born, not made.B. Truly great players are rare.C. Only two countries have ever had famous soccer stars.D. Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia.61. Pele is cited as an example in the third paragraph to illustrate that _. A. great players come from places that have had famous stars in the past B. many great soccer players come from poor areas C. great players are all born with some unique physical quality D. many great players start playing football at an early age.62. The author owes a soccer players success to all the following factors EXCEPT _. A. family backgroundB. neighborhood C. practiceD. height63. In the last paragraph, why the author says that only one out of hundreds of boys became Pele?A. Because they are all from North America.B. Because most of the boys lack some unique quality.C. Because all great players have a lot in common.D. Because boys of this time are born in rich neighborhood.COnce many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someones life?Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said “a person who is good and noble.”That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed by, I say, “How are you today?” Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time lets say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time.Having been near “the end of my rope”, after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages（孤儿院）. Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become “heroes”.Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life, just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor.64. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. Why Should You Be A Hero? B. What Exactly Is A Hero?C. I Am A Hero D. Everyone Is A Hero65. The underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 4 means the behavior that is _.A. both polite and respectful B. both brave and fearlessC. both polite and brave D. both quick-minded and kind66. The underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refers to _.A. the wonderful card the writer received B. the action of sending the cardC. the fact that the sender saved the writer D. the fact that the sender was a true friendDBears and humans often meet in National Parks. Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to peoples food, problems soon arise.Bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetable. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can temp humans into giving up.Bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a tree branch wont help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump o
