grocery store. i often go to their deli counter, and i understand that it can get a little confused for the workers. so normally none of them ever take the time to smile or seem overly friendly. but yesterday it was completely different. i was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a very welcoming smile by the young man behind the counter. he never sighed heavily or slumped back and forth like he didnt want to be there. he was all by himself and quite a long line. but not once did he act concerned about it. he just did his job efficiently and acted very kind the entire time.i was so impressed that i approached the manager. i explained to her that i often visit the deli counter and i have never been greeted with such kindness. she agreed with me that he was a wonderful person and she thanked me for sharing my feelings with her.as i was walking away，i could hear her approaching the young man with，“i just got a wonderful compliment(praise) about you.” i couldnt hear everything she was saying，but i knew that she did thank him. i couldnt help but smile!later i had to pass by the deli counter to get onions. there was no one there，except the diligent young man. he didnt say anything，he just smiled at me. i realized that i hadnt done a huge deed that day，but that small deed made a small difference to someonei love seeing people smile. i just received my smile cards and i wish i had one with me that day. maybe i will drop one off at the deli a different day! its amazing how good i felt after that.so，friends，the next time you are in a grocery store，retail store，restaurant，or anywhere that someone is working hard，letting them know in some way can mean so much. i hope you get a smile out of it like i did! 56. the passage is mainly about .a. friendship

un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isnt than what it is. and thats probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a fine building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional. within that schooling framestudy, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. they have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they havent really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum. life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if theyre not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own wayno matter what age and no matter whether were at school or at home.life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. it does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the table from 9 to noon. life learning is learner-driven. it involves living and learningin and from the real world. it is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again. furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. it is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it. 61. it is implied in the text that it is hard to _. a. find a specially trained teacher b. carry life learning throughc. learn without going to school d. tell the nature of life learning 62. according to the author, the schooling framestudy often _. a. produces slow students with poor memoriesb. fails to provide enough knowledge about lifec. ignores some parts of the official curriculumd. gives little care to the quality of teaching materials 63. life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are _. a. clear about why to learnb. careful to make a time tablec. able to respect other people d. cautious about any mistakes64. according to the author, life learning _. a. could be a road full of trials and errorsb. teaches a kid how to avoid being laughed atc. makes a kid independent of his parents d. could prevent one from running risks65. through life learning, children _.a. will grow without the assistance from parentsb. will be separated from the negative side of societyc. will be driven to learn necessary life knowledged. will learn to communicate with the real society cthe world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. we meet them every day. a few days ago, my car was not running well. i pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. he knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. i was amazed. the sad truth is, great talent is not enough.i am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. i heard the other day that less than 5 percent of americans earn more than $100,000 a year. a business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially. it was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “they are one skill away from great wealth.” there is an old saying that goes, “job means just over broke（破产）.” and unfortunately, i would say that the saying applies to millions of people. because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, and most workers live within their means. they work and they pay the bills. instead i recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.when i ask the classes i teach, “how many of you can cook a better hamburger than mcdonalds?”， almost all the students raise their hands. i then ask, “so if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come mcdonalds makes more money than you?” the answer is obvious:mcdonalds is excellent at business systems. the reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems. the world is filled with talented poor people. they focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.66. the author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .a. he is just one of the talented peopleb. he is ready to help others c. he has a sharp sense of hearingd. he knows little about car repairing67. the underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“ ”.a. spend more than they can affordb. do in their own way c. live in their own circled. live within what they earn68. why do talented people earn so little according to the author? a. they dont work hard enough.b. they lack financial intelligence.c. they dont make full use of their talents.d. they have no specialized skills.69. the success of mcdonalds lies in its .a. skills at making hamburgers b. good business systemsc. talented workers d. excellent service 70. the main purpose of the author is to tell us .a. how young people can find a satisfactory jobb. what schools should teach studentsc. why so many talented people are poor d. how mcdonalds makes much moneypart four: writing（45 points）section a (10
