56. why did the first dog like the house?a. because there were 1,000 mirrors in the house.b. because he thought he could keep himself warm in the house.c. because he liked everything presented to him.d. because he felt he was welcome here.57. the underlined word “ growled” probably means _.a. made an unfriendly noise b. smiled c. said hello d. stared58.we can conclude from the story that_.a. we must look at ourselves in a mirror as often as possibleb. we must look at ourselves in a mirror like the first little dogc. we can see ourselves in the faces of the people we meetd. we are treated in the same way as other people59. which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?a. a small happy little dog b. the house of 1,000 mirrorsc. the wonderful place and the terrible place. d. two little dogbmany college students believe students are owed good grades simply because they put a lot of effort into class.the researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. for example, “if i have completed most of the reading for a class, i deserve a b in that course.” and, “a professor should not be annoyed with me if i receive an important call during class.”just 16% thought it was ok to take that phone call. but 66% agreed that a professor should consider efforts and not just the quality of a students work when deciding grades. and 40% thought they should get a b, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class.some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between efforts and results. social critics like to say that in childrens activities these days, everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected(拒绝).yet competition to get into the best colleges is tougher than ever. students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job. and there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the familys investment(投资). these days, college can cost more than a house.what if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well?
