ring in his cup, about an hour after a young woman left in the change from her wallet.curious about the rings value, harris took it to a jewelry store and was offered $ 4,000 cash in exchange for the jewel. but instead of selling it, the 55-year-old man returned to his usual spot the next day and waited to see if the young woman would come back for it. she didand harris didnt hesitate to return it.the engagement rings owner, sarah darling, never imagined that she would get back her expensive diamond. she recalled removing all of her rings and putting them in her coin purse because they were uncomfortable, but was struck with panic and sadness when she realized where she might have dropped it.after harris returned the valuable diamond, she and her fiance were so grateful that they went out of their way to try to help the homeless man build a life. she and her fiance, bill krejci, started an online fund for harris, hoping to raise the money that the ring is worth. but harris will end up with much more than he ever expected: in just over a month, more than 8,000 people have donated to the campaign, raising more than $ 188,000.and financial security is not the only way the homeless man benefited from his good deed. as a result of the media report, his long-lost sister was able to track him down and reunite harris with his family members in texas, who he hasnt seen in 16 years.harris is no longer homeless and now lives in his own apartment. with the friendship of darling and krejci, his family members by his side, and enough money to live a comfortable life, harris situation has taken a turn in a better direction.56. what can we conclude from the passage?a. good will be rewarded with good.b. a faithful friend is hard to find.c. a mart can do no more than he can.d. a man without money is no man at all.57. after harris discovered a diamond ring, _.a. he was delighted beyond measureb. he connected the young womanc. he tried to know its real valued. he

ringbcollege can be the time of our lives, but we also learn how stressful life can really get. luckily, i have picked up a few healthy tricks to help students avoid this from happening to them.tip 1: avoid the pop. when i came to college pop was everywhere, in vending machines, at restaurants, in the cafeteria, etc. every morning, every meal, and then again at night when i was staying up to finish homework, i would have some type of pop at my side. so, what did i do to stop myself? i switched to diet, which was in no way easy, but so worth it. since may of 2013, i have lost over 30 pounds.tip 2: pack a lunch and leave your money at your apartment. not only will this save you hundreds of dollars, but packing your own lunch will leave you eating what you have, and not having money to get more food will keep you from eating more than you need.tip 3: cut down on alcohol. this is pretty simple. if you drink at all, you will get beer. say good-bye to strong drink. if you do decide to go out, choose drinks that arent calorie packed.tip 4: take pictures of your progress. if you are in a residence hall, this may be a little awkward since you will be using a public bathroom, so instead, find the worst and best pictures of yourself and start from there. the bad picture will keep you motivated to change, while the good picture will give you a realistic idea of what you could look like.and last but not least, getting enough physical activity is one of the only ways you can really lose weight, but its important to remember that fitness and healthy habits happen with progress. any activity is more activity than nothing.61. what does the author intend to tell in the passage?a. to enjoy a healthy life in your college.b. to avoid putting on weight in college.c. to reduce stress and feel more relaxed.d. to develop a good habit in daily life.62. what does the underlined word “pop” in the passage refer to?a. drinks popular with the students.b. popular books and magazines.c. learning materials that are a must for students.d. student clubs.63. whats the advantage of taking your own lunch according to the passage?a. you can have more time for your studies.b. you can reduce your chances of borrowing money.c. you can set aside a lot of time for work.d. you can avoid eating too much and thus getting fat.64. which of the following belongs to the good picture as is mentioned in the passage?a. a picture showing you have good relationship with your classmates.b. a picture showing youre doing well in your studies.c. a picture showing you have a good body shape.d. a picture showing you have the motivation.65. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. most college students have bad habitsb. taking exercise is good to your healthc. the author is skilled in any activityd. healthy habits are hard for some studentscaustralia has become one of the most attractive countries for tourism in the world and the reasons are simple: for a long time
