the doctors decided to see this strange man themselves. herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in new jersey. they thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. so they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. but they were surprised . though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. in fact , he did not even own a bed. he never needed one. the only rest that herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. the doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. they asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. they found only one answer that might explain his condition. herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. but that was all. was this the real reason? no one could be sure. herpin died at the age of 94.56. the main idea of this passage is that_large numbers of people do not need sleepa person was found who actually didnt need any sleepeveryone needs some sleep to stay alivepeople can live longer by trying not to sleep57. the doctors came to visit herpin, expecting_to cure him of his sleeplessnessto find that his sleeplessness was not really trueto find out why some old people did not need any sleepto find a way to free people from the need of sleeping58. after watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that al herpin_needed some kind of sleep b. was too old to need any sleepc. needed no sleep at all d. often sleep in a chair59. one reason that might explain herpins sleeplessness was _his mothers injury before he was bornthat he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habithis magnificent physical condition dthat he hadnt got a bed bking midas used to love gold. one day he met a fairy who allowed him to make a wish for something. the king replied at once , i love gold . i want everything i touch to change into gold”. very well , tomorrow morning, everything you touch will turn into gold .”saying this, the fairy disappeared. the king waited excitedly till the next morning. to his joy ,everything he touched changed immediately into gold. im the richest man in the world now.” he shouted. soon midas became hungry. he sat down at his table. all the foods and drinks turned into gold in his hand . im dying of hunger.” he cried. just then his daughter came running in . why are you so sad , dad ?” she asked, putting her arms around him. there and then she became a golden statue. the king loved his daughter very much .seeing this ,he began to cry. he looked up and suddenly saw the fairy before him. dont you like the golden touch?” asked the fairy. please take it away,” begged the king, give me back my daughter.” well, you have learned your lesson. go and wash in the river. then the golden touch will be gone.” the king ran quickly to the nearby river.60. the fairy allowed the king to make a wish because_she hoped to make the king the richest in the world.she loved gold too.she wanted to teach the king a lesson.she wanted to turn the kings daughter into gold.61. when the foods and drinks turned into gold the king was _ a. excited b. hungry c. worried d happy62. the kings daughter became a golden statue when _she saw her father b. the king went to meet hershe put her arms around her father d .the king loved her very much63. which of the following might have happened afterwards?the king died in the river.the kings daughter changed back from gold to a lovely girl.all the things the king had touched changed back into real ones.both b and cci was telling my boy sonny the story of the hare ( 兔子) and the tortoise ( 乌龟 ). at the end i said, “ son, remember: be slow and steady ( 镇定的), and that will win the race. dont you think theres something to learn from the tortoise?”sonny opened his eyes wide, “ do you mean next time when im entering for the 60-metre race i should wish that billy, tony and sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”i was shocked, “but the tortoise didnt wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“he must have wished that,” sonny said, “otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? he knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“he didnt have such a wish,” i insisted. “he won the race by perseverance ( 坚忍不拔的 ), by pushing on steadily.”sonny thought a while. “thats a lie,” he said. “ he won it because he was lucky. if the hare hadnt happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. he could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but hed never have won the race. thats for sure.”i gave up. todays children are not like what we used to be. theyre just hopeless.64. the writer argued ( 辩论 )with his son because _. a. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares b. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish c. he tried to teach his son a moral ( 品德 )lesson but the son had totally different opiniond. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didnt.65. sonny believed that the tortoise _. a. won the race by his own hard working b. took a risk ( 冒险 )by agreeing to run a race c. was not given a fair chance in the race d. in fact did win the race luckily66. billy, tony and sandy must be_. a. boys who were unknown to sonnys father b. boys who sonny has run races with before c. boys who sonny has never raced with before d. boys who sonny did not expect to race with again67. the writer thinks that his generation ( 一代人 )_. a. are cleverer than sonnys generation b. have the same ideas about life as sonnys generation c. are more hopeful than sonnys generation d. have different ideas about life from sonnys generation d science, as we think, was born when the greek philosopher ( 哲学家 ) thales ( about 640-546 b.c.) asked a difficult question: what makes up our universe?no one had a ready answer, so thales went on studying the earth around him, the sky and the stars. he saw so much water on earth and so much water falling from the sky as rain that he decided water must be the basic substance ( 物质 ) of the universe.other greek thinkers became interested in this question. they suggested other answers. one said that because air lies around the earth, it must be air that makes up all things. another said that fire, appearing in different forms, was the building block of the universe.the greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances. but the list is much more complicated than the greeks realized. we now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements ( 元素 )”.68.thales, the famous greek philosopher, died when he was about _. a. 94 years old b. 106years old c. 40 years old d. 46 years old69.the meaning of the underlined word“complicated”in the last paragraph is “ _”. a. not difficult b. not simple c. not famous d. not different70. from the passage we know that _. a. thales asked many questions b. greeks were all philosophers c. science began long ago d. water and air make up all things.71. on the whole, the passage tells about _. a. early tries to understand the universe b. the famous greek thinkers c. water falling from the sky d. air lying all around the earth ei am a good mother to three children. i have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.i no longer consider myself the center of the universe. i show up. i listen. i try to laugh. i am a good friend to my husband. i have tried to make marriage vows（誓约）mean what they say. i am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.so heres what i wanted to tell you today: get a life. a real life, not a desire of the next promotion（提升）, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.get a life in which you are not alone. find people you love, and who love you. and remember that love is not leisure（空闲）, it is work. pick up the phone. send an e-mail. write a letter. and realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.it is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. it is so easy to exist instead of to live. i learned to live many years ago. something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if i had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. and what i learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.i learned to love the journey, not the destination. i learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because i believed in it, completely and totally. and i tried to do that, in part, by telling others what i had learned.by telling them this: read in the backyard with the sun on your face. learn to be happy. and think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.72. how did the author form her view of life?a. by working and social experience.b. lea
