By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per- hour baseball and 39 anything that moved on the field.

One particular incident with coach John changed my life forever. A friend 43 me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket money for a new bike, new clothes and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to 45 up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldnt be playing.When I told John, he was as 46 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,”he said,“Your 47 days are limited. You cant afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head 48 , trying to think of the 49 that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 50 in me.“Well,”he asked,“is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?”That simple question made 51 to me the difference between 52 something right now and having a goal.

When I took him my shoes, he at first told me,“I havent time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street. Hell fix them for you right away.”But I had my eyes on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人).“No.”I replied,“The other fellow cant do it well.”“The other fellow”was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带), you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldnt give in, and he smiled. He wiped hands on his blue apron(围裙),looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said,“Come back in a week.”I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“See what I can do?”he said with pride.“Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange dusty felt hat, his funny accent and his pride in his craft.These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it“pays”,when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption rather than a way to realize their abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.56.Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.C. He was proud of his skills.D. He was a native Parisian.57.The sentence“He was something out of an ancient legend.(Paragraph 7) implies that .” A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him B. it was difficult to communicate with this man C. the man was very strange D. the man was too old58.According to the author, many people work just to . A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness C. make money D. gain respect59.This story wants to tell us that . A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equalBWilliam Herschel was born on November 15th, 1738 in Hanover in a family of musicians. In 1757,he fled to England and began earning a living as an organist and later composer and conductor. In 1772, he convinced his sister Caroline to join him as a singer. In their spare time the brother-sister team became occupied in astronomy. William died at his home in Slough, near Windsor on August 25th,1822,and Caroline on September 1st,1848.Herschels first major discoveries were to show that Mars and Jupiter exhibit axial rotation(绕轴自转). Herschel struck fame in 1781,when on March 13th he discovered the planet Uranus(天王星) while engaged in work aimed at determining stellar parallax(恒星视差).This being the first new planet discovered since ancient times, Herschel, until then a mere amateur astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George. The trick worked once again, as King George gave William and Caroline the titles of“The Kings Astronomer”and“Assistant to the Kings Astronomer”, an honor which came with a lifes pension for both. In 1782 they moved to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels went on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied with the search for comets at which she was quite successful, William became for a time interested in the Sun. Inspired by Wilsons 1774 work, he put forth the theory of sunspots(太阳黑子),an opinion that continued to exist well into the nineteenth century. In 1800,he became interested in the solar spectrum(太阳光谱),and uncovered the first evidence for solar energy output outside of the visible spectrum, in what is now known as the infrared(红外线).In 1801, he published two papers that effectively started the field of solar influences on Earths weather.60.Herschel made himself known to the world mainly by .A. discovering the planet UranusB. determining stellar parallaxC. discovering two moons of UranusD. uncovering the evidence for the infrared61.It can be inferred from the passage that George .A. liked science and technologyB. liked Herschels naming of the new planetC. was interested in astronomyD. gave Herschel a lot of useful suggestions62.What do we know about Caroline from the passage?A. She was successful in music.B. She was given the title of“The Kings Astronomer”.C. She died later than her brother.D. She published two papers.63.This passage mainly tells readers .A. some information about Herschel and his sisterB. how Herschel and his sister discovered the planet UranusC.

Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London(UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of“early bilinguals(通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,”said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,”he said,“You are actually going
