I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school.“Hurry, youll be late for school,” my mother called to me.“I am hurrying, Mom! What did I do with my books?”Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life.As a kid I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle (通道) to receive my diploma (文凭). That seemed more appealing even than getting married.But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldnt afford tuition (学费). My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought.uPretty soon, I married. I had three children, and I thought: “There goes my diploma.”Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function (活动) in a normal classroom.One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses.“Thats the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so Ill just sign her up for night school.Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said: “Mrs Schantz, why dont you come back to school?”I laughed: “Theres no way! Im 55!”But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts (工艺). “This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled.To my surprise, both Linda and I thrived in evening school. I went back again the next semester, and my grades steadily improved.It was exciting, going to school again, but it was no game. Sitting in a class full of kids was awkward, even if most of them were respectful and encouraging. During the day, I still had loads of housework to do.But when I was down, Linda encouraged me. “Mom, you cant quit now!” And when she was down, I encouraged her. Together we saw it through.At last, I got my diploma. To my surprise, my classmates voted unanimously (一致地) for me to be class speaker, and I got a $3,000 (about 18,000 yuan) college scholarship.Yes, Mom, I was late for school, but I got there in the end.56. The author dropped out of school when she was a teenager because _.A. she couldnt afford to go to schoolB. she took little interest in schoolworkC. she wanted to help her parents run their businessD. she was often late for school and afraid of not receiving a diploma57. What led the author to decide to continue her studies at a night school?A. She wished to keep her daughter company at night school.B. The secretary at the night school kept pushing her.C. She thought it would be a fun experiment.D. It occurred to her that she could finally realize her dream.58.

The author didnt get along well with her classmates at first.C. The author and Linda often encouraged each other when either of them felt low.D. The author eventually received her diploma and became a professional speaker.BReducing your useMy father is saving the world, but hed never call himself an environmentalist. I long ago branded myself the environmentalist of the family, carrying a canvas (帆布) bag, eating nothing but organic broccoli and correctly pronouncing the names of evil food toxins (毒素) like “phthalates”.As a kid, I ignored my dads commitment (表态) to buying eggs from a nearby family, his annual opposition to store-bought Christmas gifts and his plea (恳求) to persuade a local clothing store to hand over the socks they would no longer be using. One day, he came home waving a pair of shabby (破旧的) white socks of two different lengths. “Girls!” he shouted, calling my mother, sister and me into the kitchen to see the socks. “They were free!”He used compact fluorescent lamps (节能灯) years before it became popular. “These bulbs will outlive me,” I remember him saying with a far-off look in his eye. I complained that it took 15 minutes for the light to come on in the bathroom. It took me several more years and a couple of academic degrees to switch out my own bulbs.Recently, a light switched on in my own consciousness (觉悟): I was not the environmental hero of the family. My dad was! Hes managed to live responsibly. He lives on less, wears his clothes until they wear out and grows his own dinner.Growing up, I remember how he kept a few quotes on the bulletin board (布告牌) in the kitchen. And the one I remember most was from Wordsworth: “Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers (获取与消费，正扼杀我们的天性).” Im finally trying to follow my dads lead and live more simply.This past summer I visited my parents for a few weeks. While I was there, I watched my dad bring items he no longer needed to our churchs basement, take his own mug (杯子) to the diner and pick chives (小葱) from the garden for lunch. With the air in the kitchen rustic (有乡村风味的) and salty with the smell of clams, I told him he was part of the slow food movement. He agreed to no such thing, arguing that the clams he dug himself simply tasted sweeter.60. When the author was a child, her father _.A. knew a lot about various food toxinsB. tried to teach her to live a simple and green lifeC. was against her sending gifts to friends during ChristmasD. used to give out the socks that he would no longer use to others61. How did the author like the compact fluorescent lamps when her father started to use them?A. She thought they were cool.B. She didnt think they were convenient.C. She didnt mind using them.D. She thought they were too expensive.62. What can we conclude from the last three paragraphs?A. The author eventually identified with her fathers lifestyle.B. The authors father took an active role in the slow food movement.C. Wordsworth was one of the poets that the authors father loved most.D. The authors father was proud that his daughter was an environmentalist like he was.63. Which of the following best describes the authors father?A. Strict and optimistic.B. Modest and economical.C. Passionate and responsible.D. Humorous and green.CEvery coin countsThe pickle jar (泡菜坛), as far back as I can remember, sat beside the dresser in my parents bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would toss any coins that were in his pockets into the jar. As they dropped, they landed with a merry jingle (叮当声).Whenever the jar was full, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll up the coins before taking them to the bank.Every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier (收银员), he would smile proudly and say: “These are for my sons college fund.”We would always celebrate each deposit (储蓄) by stopping for an ice cream cone. Dad would show me the coins in his change and say: “When we get home, well start filling the jar again.” He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. “You might have to get to college on loose change,” he said. “But youll get there.”The years passed, and I went to college, married and took a job in another town.Once, while visiting my parents, I noticed that the pickle jar was gone. It had served its purpose. My dad was a man of few words, and he never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance or faith. The pickle jar had taught me all of those far better than the most flowery of words could have done.uSoon, my daughter Jessica was born. We spent Christmas that year with my parents. After dinner, Mom and Dad sat next to each other on the sofa, taking turns holding their first grandchild. When Jessica began to cry, my wife Susan took her from Dads arms to put her in her crib (婴儿床) in my parents room.Susan came back with tears in her eyes. She led me into my parents room. “Look,” she said softly. To my amazement, there, next to the dresser, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins. I walked over to it, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out several coins. Choked by emotion, I dropped them into the jar.I looked up and saw that Dad had slipped quietly into the room. Our eye
