id like to put it in my coffee.they stared at him. he turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. curious, she asked, why salt with coffee? he explained, when i was a little boy, i lived near the sea. i liked playing on the sea.i could feel it salty, like salty coffee. now every time i drink it, i think of my childhood and my hometown. i miss it and my parents, who are still there.she was deeply moved. a man who can admit that hes homesick must love his home and care about his family. he must be responsible. she talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. that was the start to their love story.they continued to date. she found that he met all her requirements. he was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. and to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee! so they married and lived happily together. and every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.after 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:my dearest, please forgive my life-long lie. remember the first time we dated? i was so nervous that i asked for salt instead of sugar. it was hard for me to ask for a change, so i just went ahead. i never thought that we would hit it off. many times, i tried to tell you the truth, but i was afraid that it would ruin everything.sweetheart, i dont exactly like salty coffee. but as it mattered so much to you, ive learnt to enjoy it. having you with me was my greatest happiness. if i could live a second time, i hope we can be together again, even if it means that i have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.51. why the man asked for some salt?

a. brett eastburn and helen keller b. ringo starr and helen keller c. brett eastburn and ringo starr d. wilma rudolph and mark inglis56. when people with limitations tell what they want to achieve, one will probably _.a. shake his head kindly b. believe what they have said c. keep quiet d. think there is no possibility 57. what can we infer from the last underlined sentence? a. no one can achieve what mark inglis has achieved. b. what we can achieve depends on how we choose c. mark inglis is the only one to climb the highest mountain without legs d. mark inglis wouldnt have climbed the high mountain if he hadnt lost legs as chief executive officer of microsoft, gates is known as a bright man. to most people, gates, in spite of his wealth, is humble and ordinary. he spends his money carefully and often eats in fast-food restaurants.58.billgatesbecameabillionaire_. a.attheageof31 b.in1985 c.inthe1970s d.by199259.whengateswasinharvarduniversity,he_. a.becameheadofmicrosoftcompany b.spenta lotofhistimeincomputerlaboratories c.developedthefirstcomputerprogram d.succeededinmakingcomputerscarryoutinstructions60.beforetheinventionofbasic,softwareprograms_. a.wereverycheap b.werenotconsideredcommercially (商业地) c.wereveryexpensive d.werecomplexbutdulldbit by bit, the sand dust that fills the sky is dying down. the blue sky and the burning sun once again hang over the desert.he is on the road, driving his beat-up yellow cab(出租车). the sides of the road are littered with damaged vehicles. masses of smoke in the distance tell him that a war is being dragged on throughout his country.its a fine day despite the choking heat. not a breath of wind is blowing. a group of vehicles are traveling towards him, carrying many passengers. the scene reminds him of the market days in this country when crowds of trucks transport folks to the markets; the only difference is, this time, they are not trucks, but tanks, carrying foreigners, guns in hand. he stares at them. they stare back. so they pass by one another.“the damned war!” he whispers bitterly. two days ago, a bomb fell on the market in front of his house, destroying nearly everything in sight. he survived by luck. he decided then and there that he would give up this cab business. this will be his final run. after this, he will leave this place together with his wife and children. “shala and my children, well soon meet each other again, after im done here.” he turns his head to take a glance at a photo of his wife and children. the glass on the frame(相框) is broken, but their smiles in the picture do not fail to provide him the only comfort that he has. shortly he arrives at a checkpoint. tanks sit by the side of the road, the sight of which sends a marked coldness through his backbone. a bunch of soldiers armed to the teeth stand by. a foreign soldier signals him to stop. he calms himself down and pulls over. during the past few days, nearly no civilian(平民) vehicles come out of the capital city, his car the only one on roads. a few foreign soldiers come up to him, one, two, three, four, five. the leader bends over to have a look at the old car, then at him. “where do you come from and where are you going?” with a smile on his face, he answers with a broken speech in the tongue that the soldiers can understand, “sir, i come from the capital, im leaving that place because it is a very dangerous place to be, with the war and everything.” while talking, he hands a cigarette over to the soldier, then lights it up for him. “when will the war end?” he asks.“it wont take long. well soon give all of you in the capital the true freedom.” the soldier breathes a deep mouthful. he seems to have spotted the photo in the car, “the cigarette is not bad at all. are those your wife and kids? i have two of my own, roughly the same age.” “oh, yes, they are mine and they are constantly on my mind. they left the city a bit earlier, and im on my way to be reunited with them. perhaps im never coming back. driving a cab around during war times is too dangerous. im giving up the business.” he looks at t
