40 .this is not the worst boy at all, 41 the smartest one who hasnt yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm.” that statement began a(n) 42 between us. no one had ever called me smart, my family and neighbors had built me up in my 43 as a bad boy. my stepmother changed all that.she changed many things. she 44 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. she moved our family into the county seat, where my fathers career could be more 45 and my brother and i could be better 46 .when i turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 47 and told me that she believed

became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president. what power 53 has! when that power is released to support the certainty of ones purpose and is 54 strengthened by faith, it becomes an

villagers. all they had to do was catch them. agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. for the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future. but the dream didnt last long. the change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. more worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.the villagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. they would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. soon there was no money left.then the people realized what was happening. it was the frog. they hadnt been useless. they had been doing an important job-eating insects. now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. they were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. now, the people are still poor. but in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. these sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.56. from paragraph one we learn that the villagers _.a. worked very hard for centuries b. dreamed of having a better life c. were poor but somewhat satisfied d. lived a different life from their forefathers 57. why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?a. the frogs were easy money b. they needs money to buy medicine c. they wanted to please the visitors d. the frogs made too much noise58. what might be the cause of the childrens sickness?a. the crops didnt do well b. there were too many insectsc. the visits brought in diseases d. the pesticides were overused 59. what can we infer from the last sentence of the text?a. happiness comes from peaceful life in the country b. health is more important than moneyc. the harmony between man and nature is important d. good old day will never be forgottenbi hated dinner parties. but i decided to give them another shot because im in london. and my friend mallery invited me. and because dinner parties in london are very different from those back in new york. there, im having a dinner party means: im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you cant afford and well be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat. worse, in manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up paying even more. but if i try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: where are you going? and its not like i can say i have somewhere to go: everyone knows i have nowhere to go.but in london, dinner parties are in peoples homes. not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. the last time i went to one, the guests were from france, india, denmark and nigeria; it was like a gathering at the united nations in new york. the mix is less striking. its like a gathering at bloomingdales, a well-known department store.for new yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means brooklyn and queens in new york. but at mallerys, when i said that i had been to myanmar recently, people knew where it was. in new york people would think it was a usual new club60. what does the word shot in paragraph 1 probably mean?a. choice. b. try c. style. d. goal61. what does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in new york?a there is a strange mix of people. b. the restaurants are expensive.c. the bill is not fairly shared. d. people have to pay cash62. what does the author think of the parties in london?a. a bit unusual bfull of tricks. cless costly. d. more interesting.63. what is the authors opinion of some new yorkers from her experience？a. self-centred. b. easy-going. c. generous. d. conservative.cusually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. but there is one question that has millions of current answers. that question is “whats your name?” everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.have you ever wondered about peoples names? where do they come from? what do they mean?peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. some parents choose the name of a well-known person. a boy could be named george washington smith; a girl could be named helen keller jones.some people give their children names that mean good things. clara means “bright”; beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; donald means “world ruler”; leonard means “as brave as a lion”.the earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. a family with the name brook or brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. the greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.other early surnames came from peoples occupations. the most common occupational name is smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. in the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. some other occupational names are: carter a person who owned or drove a cart; potter a person who made pots and pans.the ancestors of the baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. the carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. when there were two men who were named john in the same village, the john with the gray hair probably became john gray. or the john was very tall could call himself john tallman. john fish was probably an excellent swimmer and john lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. english-speaking people added s or son. the johnsons are descendants of john; the roberts familys ancestor was robert. irish and scottish people added mac or mc or o. perhaps all of the macdonnells and the mcdonnells and the odonnells are descendants of the same donnell.64. which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage not cover?a. places where people lived. b. peoples characters.c. talents that people possessed. d. peoples occupations.65. according to the passage, the ancestors of the potter family most probably _.a. owned or drove a cart b. made things with metalsc. made kitchen tools or contains d. built houses and furniture66. suppose and english couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _.a. beatrice smith b. leonard carterc. george longstreet d. donald greenwood67. the underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a persons _.a. later generations b. friends and relativesc. colleagues and partners d. later sponsors dtoo much tv-watching can harm childrens ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.one of the studies looked at nearly 235 northern california third-graders. those with tvs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom tvs.a second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in new zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year olds who had watched lots of tv during childhood. but the results dont prove that tv is the cause and dont state that it is impossibe that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of tv.their study measured the tv habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. these with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of tv per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school. in the california study, children with tvs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom tv but who had home computers scored the highest.while this study does not prove that bedroom tv sets caused the lower scores, it adds to increasing findings that children shouldnt have tvs in their bedrooms68. according to the california study, the low-scoring group might _. a. have watched a lot of tv b. not be interested ted in math c. be unable to go to college d. have had computers in their bedrooms69. what can we learn from the last two paragraphs?a. more time should be spent on computers.b. children should be forbidden from watching tv.c. further studies on high-achieving students should be doned. tv sets shouldnt be allowed in childrens bedrooms,70. what would be the best title for this text?a. computers or televisionb. effects of television on childrenc. studies on tv and college educationd. television and
