color prints in our city，and so he did. when i was 16，dad looked closely at the violin i played and announced that he wanted to make one. he read about violin making，and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43.he bought the tools and materials，opened a small store and set mom up as the shopkeeper，while he worked at a local company. he retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments. dad often guessed why the stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnishif that were the answer. one of dads friends asked him once which kind of wood wasused to make violins. when dad explained that the top wasmade of spruce，his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce dad might be interested in. he worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. it proved to be asuperior violin and it would become dads masterpiece. he was convinced that the secret of the stradivarius sound was in the wood itself. later，the instrument was stolen. dads spirit was broken by the robbery，and he stopped making instruments. but he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old，selling guitars and violins. my father has been gone for 14 years now. the violin has been missing for

celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.in western countries, people usually celebrate new year at midnight on january 1st. people may go to parties, dress in formal clothes - like tuxedos (小礼服) and evening gowns, and drink champagne at midnight. during the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. but some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. they welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.it is also a common western custom to make a new years promise, called a resolution. new years resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year.many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. for example, in ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. the doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. at midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (again). other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.other new year traditions are followed to bring good luck is to eat grapes on new years day. the more grapes a person eats , the more good luck the person will have in the year. in france, people eat pancakes for good luck at new year. in the united states, some people eat black-eyed peas (豇豆) for good luck - but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!60which culture celebrates new year in the morning?athe united states. bspain. cfrance. dthe passage doesnt say.61what is a resolution?asomething you burn. bsomething you eat.csomething you say. dsomething you wear.62what is the topic of the fourth paragraph?abringing good luck. bkeeping away bad luck.cplanning for the next year. dremembering the past.63which is probably true about eating black-eyed peas on new year?ablack-eyed peas taste bad. bone pea brings one day of luck.cthe peas are very difficult to cook. dit is bad luck to eat a lot of black-eyed peas.cwhen i was 17, i read a quote that went something like: “if you live each day as if it were your last, someday you ll most certainly be right.” it made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, i have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “if today were the last day of my life, would i want to do what i am about to do today?”remembering that i ll be dead soon is the most important tool ive ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life.about a year ago i was diagnosed with cancer. the doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that i would live no longer than three to six months. my doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors code for preparing yourself to die.i lived with that diagnosis all day. i was completely in despair. later that evening, i had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. i had the surgery and i m fine now.this was the closest ive been to facing death. to tell the truth, no one wants to die. and yet death is the destination we all share. no one has ever escaped it. it clears out the old to make room for the new. right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.your time is so limited that you shouldnt waste it repeating someone elses life. don t be trapped by dogma（教条）which is living with the results of other people s thinking. dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. and most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. it somehow already knows what you truly want to become. everything else is secondary.64. the doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because_.a. he had to rest at home b. his disease couldnt be cured c. his disease was not serious at all d. he had to wait for the result of the test65how did the author feel after the diagnosis?ahopeless b excited c optimistic d angry 66what does the author think of death?ahe thinks it is impossible to avoid. bhe thinks it is not the end of life.che thinks it is nothing to be scared of. dhe thinks it is the beginning of a new life67in the author s opinion, we should _.afollow others advice btake no notice of diseases ctake exercise and keep healthy dhave
