Things arent that bad，are they?”“No，”she said“I dont expect you to help support us”Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shopHischief customers were his old college friendsTo get new customers，my mother had to helpShe picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women，so that she could get to know more peopleWhether those people would turn into customers was another questionI knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment(投资)could show returnsWhats more，they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful；otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badlyI was torn between the desire to help them and change their livesand the determination not to repeat their mistakesI had a strong belief in my power to get what I wantedAfter months of hard study l won a full college scholarship(奖学金)My father could hardly contain his pride in me，and my mother eventually gave in before my success40.

According to the text, what was the author determined to do in that autumn?A To get a well-paid job for himself B To improve relations with his motherC To go to his dream university D To carry on with his fathers businessCAfter a little snowstorm yesterday I began to think of what snowflakes had to offer other than nice scenery and dangerous road conditions.From the way they fall，to the way they look，snowflakes have some similarities with our life.Here are some life lessons these little white ice crystals have to offer.Be uniqueEvery snowflake has its own shape and look.So should you！Accept yourself and be yourself.Everyone is different and should remain that way.Work with othersOne flake doesnt fall during a storm，millions do.As they build up and stick together，they accomplish a lot.Billions of them can become inches，maybe even feet tall and blanket miles upon miles.If you want to achieve success and change your life，you will need help from others eventually.You can be small but powerfulSnowflakes are very small but very powerful.Theyre extremely delicate but can shut down whole cities and states.You may be weak physically but mentally you can be strong.Take your timeUnless wind is pushing them，snowflakes usually take their time to get to their destination.Dont rush through life；its the journey thats important，not the destination.Divert_away_from your planned routeMost snow flakes are supposed to land on the ground and may be headed that way when theyre falling.But sometimes they land in trees，lakes，or the street.They go with the flow and are very flexible.Its great if you have planned out your time and life，but events are going to throw those off course.So be flexible and let certain events take you for a ride.Bring happiness and enjoyment to othersAt times snow can be extremely dangerous，but think about how many times snow has made people happy and joyful.Just the sight of a fresh blanket of snow makes people feel good.You should do the same，make people happy to see and talk to you.Dont be unhappy because youll bring those around you down.Life is shortSnowflakes dont last that long.Frequently they melt the instant they hit the ground，but theyve had an interesting journey.Cherish your life and every minute you have.44What is the best title of the passage?AThe advice from snowflakesBLife lessons from snowflakesCEnjoy the nice scenery of snowflakesDSnowflakes，small but powerful45The underlined part “Divert away from” probably means “_”Aswitch away from Bstick toCescape from Dfight for46According to the writer，if you have a low spirit_.Athose around you will laugh at youBthose around you will not be willing to help youCthose around you will be depressedDyou can not enjoy the fresh blanket of snow47Which of the following is not true according to the passage?AEvery one needs help from others to achieve success eventually.BYoull achieve great success even if you are weak physically.CCherish your life and every minute you have.DIf you rush through life，youll get to the best destination.DThe largest bird that cannot fly also happens to be the largest living bird in the world.This is the huge North African ostrich.When the male，or cock，is fully grown，he reaches a height nearly eight feet and many weigh close to three hundred pounds.His wings are very small and the wing feathers are very soft，and therefore he does not fly.You have probably heard the old saying about “the foolish ostrich burying his head in the sand”Well，the ostrich is not nearly as foolish as he is said to be.In the daytime，when the hen is sitting on the eggs，she does not want to be seen；instead of sticking her long neck up into the air，she bends her neck and head down and presses flat along the sand.That way，she can best protect the eggs and herself.Because the ostrich cannot fly up into the air to escape from danger on the ground，he has to remain alert at all times.Luckily，he has very sharp eyesight and hearing.As the lives in the desert and open plains，he can stop danger in time to run away.The ostrich can run so fast that it almost seems as if he was flying.Sometimes，when a person has a small appetite，we say that he “eats like a bird”That bird is definitely not the ostrich！An ostrich will eat anything under the sun.When an ostrich died in a zoo，scientists cut it open to see what he had eaten.Here are some of the things found in the birds stomach：three pieces of wood，part of a film roll，a nail，a screw，a French coin，three handkerchiefs，four pennies，part of a chain and eighteen pieces of wire.48Which would be the best title of the passaage?AOstrichesLargest Brids that cannot FlyBBird LifeCThe Foolish OstrichesDThe Things in the Stomach of an Ostrich49The ostriches bury their heads in the sand because_.Athey are too lazy to do anythingBthey are very shyCthey can avoid being attackedDthey like to relax themselves by doing so50“An ostrich will eat anything under the sun.” means_.Aan ostrich will eat everything when the sun shinesBan ostrich wont eat anything if the sun hasnt risenCan ostrich likes to eat under the sunDanything on the earth is what the ostrich eatsE51 But still there is a danger that grows every yearAirliners get largerSome airplanes can hold over 300 passengersAnd the air itself becomes more and more crowdedIf one giant airliner crashed into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost52 Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come downThe air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may handle 2500 planes a dayNot al of them actually land at the airportAny plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there_53_Recently such a disaster almost happened_54_One, with 69 passengers, had come from Toronto, and the other, with 176 passengers, from Chicago, An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each otherHe ordered one to turn to the right and to climbBut he made a mistakeHe ordered the wrong plane to do thisFifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second planeThey avoided each other by the smallest part of a secondThe distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool_55_AEven a small mistake on their part could cause a disasterBTwo large jets were flying towards the airportCNowadays people like traveling more by air than by carDToday, air travel is far safer tha
