driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. it is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.there are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. these are all easily formed habits. unfortunately older persons often form such habits which could have been avoided .we should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.56. _ are formed little by little.a. good habits b. bad habits c. both good habits and bad habitsd. either good habits or bad habits57. the underlined word them in the first paragraph refers to _.a. bad habits b. good habits c. children d. other persons. 58. why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits? a. because habits are of great help to every one of us.b. because a man can never get rid of a habit.c. because its hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.d. because we are forced to do them again and again.59 . according to the passage, early risinga. has something to do with successb. is an easily formed habitc. is such a habit as should have been avoidedd. is such a habit as will be kept bthe child of today owes much of its pleasant school life to the work of maria montessori and others who felt as she did.maria montessori was born in 1870 in northern italy. both her parents were well educated.while maria was a student, she took great interest in the study of the particular nature of the childs mind. it came to her that small children should have freedom to learn.maria became a doctor and a professor at rome university. in 1907, after working with backward students, she was given a chance to try out her ideas on children. there were sixty children, aged three to six, in the childrens house. the rooms were bright and colorful. maria let the children make their own choice of what they wanted to do and work with their own speed. they became busy, peaceful and happy.maria montessori was one of the worlds greatest teachers. she traveled in europe, america and far east. she thought that true education, providing for the real needs of the child, would produce wise and happy grown-ups and therefore a peaceful world. her original way of education has changed our whole idea of what childhood is.maria montessori died in holland at the age of eighty-two.60. the short passage is mainly about .a. the education of backward studentsb. a new idea of educationc. the importance of proper educationd. the life of maria montessori61. maria traveled a lot in the world to .a. teach the backward students b. enjoy her life in real naturec. spread her ideas of teaching d. study the situation of education62. in what way did maria teach the children in the childrens house? a. she taught them the best way of learning well.b. she let them learn in a very pleasant way.c. she taught them by showing them how to do things.d. she just let them choose the most interesting subjects.63. we learn from the passage that _.a. maria left her homeland in order to study abroadb. maria didnt get marriedc. marias own parents were her teachersd. maria fully understood the childs mindcsome people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. why read an article in the newspaper, when the tv news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know? television has not killed reading, however. today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. and books of every kind are sold more than ever before. books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. a paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be kept in every home. every home should have a good dictionary. a good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.64. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. tv programs are a chief provider of knowledge b. cinemas are the best choice in getting information c. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun d. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself65. what does the sentence “television has not killed reading, however ” underlined in the second paragraph suggest? a. people only need reading, though. b. reading is still necessary today. c. reading is more fun than television. d. watching television doesnt help reading.66. what can we learn from the passage? a. fewer and fewer people will buy books. b. more people like tv programs about famous men. c. books with hard covers sell better than paperbacks. d. a good dictionary should be kept in every home.dcoins for college the 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(基金)。”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(毅力)or faith. the pickle jar had taught me all of those far better than the most flowery of words could have done.soon, 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 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. 1 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 eyes locked, and i knew he was feeling the same emotions. neither of us spoke, because we knew that nothing had to be said.67. which of the following statements is true?a. the author and his wife were both grateful for what his parents had done for him and his daughter.b. the author felt disappointed when he found that the pickle jar was gone.c. the authors parents put the pickle jar back in their room to remind themselves of the hard years.d. the author felt embarrassed
