The bundle(婴儿包)was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped- the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the babys hearing was perfect except for his appearance. One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mothers arms, he cried out bitterly, “ A boy, a big boy called me a f-freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreak. He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift for literature and music. The boys father had a talk with the family doctor. Could nothing be done? “ I believe we could graft(移植) on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated,” the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man. Two years went by. Then, “Youre going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But its a secret. ” said the father. The operation was a brilliant success. His talents blossomed into genius. School and college became a series of successes. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交) service. “ But I must know!” he urged his father. “ Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.” “ I do not believe you could ,” said the father, “ but the agreement was that you are not to know not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come one of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mothers casket(棺材). Slowly and tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.56.The story is mainly about_.A.how a boy had new ears through an operationB.what a devoted parent privately did for the child.C.how a disabled boy turned into a useful personD.why a donator made a sacrifice to a bright boy.57.From the first paragraph we know that the mother_.A. was determined to donate her ears to perfect her sonB. kept her husband unknown about the babys situation.C. felt shocked and disappointed to see her new baby.D. complained of her bad luck to have a disabled child.58.

The mother donated her ears to her son after she died. BHello, are you thinking of writing someone a letter? Call instead. It isnt that expensive, especially when you call during the evening, night, or weekend hours. In fact, you can make a ten-minute call anywhere in the continental United States for just $2.60.For even greater saving, always dial direct, that is, without an operators help. Rates(资;费) on direct calls are lower after five oclock in the evening and lowest after eleven oclock at night. Collect, person-to-person, and pay phone calls require the services of an operator, and they cost more than direct calls.Need to call out of the country? Now calls to many overseas places may be dialed direct. Check your telephone direction for overseas area codes.Next time you have good news, or you just want to stay in touch, remember, a phone call means so much more than a letter. This is a message from Southern Bell Telephone Company.60. According to this passage, when is a dial telephone call cheapest?A. During weekend hours. B. After 5 in the evening.C. During working hours. D. After 11 at night.61. What type of call requires less money?A.A direct dial call. B.A collect call. C. A person-to-person call.D.A call from a pay phone.62. What should one do in order to make an overseas call?A. Dial the operator. B. Call Southern Bell Telephone Company.C. Check the phone book for the overseas operators number so that he can help you.D. Check the phone book for overseas area codes so that you can dial direct.63. This passage is _.A. a storyB. a letter C. a talk D. a dialogue CPerhaps no other thing has such power to lift the poor out of his poverty（贫穷） and to make a man forget his burden as books. They are friends to the lonely, joy to the joyless and cheer to the disappointed. We may be shut out from all personal association with the great and the good, but when we are reading, we may be in the best society in the world, where we may be associated with the greatest and noblest of all times. Books are a guide for the young. The trend of many a life for good or ill, for success or failure has been determined by a single book. The books which we read early in life are those which influence us most. The greatest advantage of the books doesnt always come from what we remember of them, but from their suggestiveness（联想）. A good book, like a good friend, often serves to wake up our potential possibilities. We form many of our opinions from our favorite books. The best books are those which have a wonderful power, and which inspire us to make the most of ourselves and our opportunities. Its necessary that everyone build up a private library. A home without books is like a house without windows. Children learn to read by being in the midst of books. They unconsciously（未意识到地）obtain knowledge by reading them. Whatever you read, read with enthusiasm, with energy, read with the whole mind, if you would increase your mental stature(高度). If you are getting the most out of a book., you will feel a capacity（能力） for doing things which you never felt before. “To carry a book with you wherever you go is old advice and good advice,” John Adams said.” You will never be alone.”64.They passage wants to _.A. tell us what makes a good book B. inform us of the rules for readingC. offer us how to read D. encourage us to read books65.The author mentions the following functions of book EXCEPT_.

Some of our opinions come from books D. Advice for reading books. DThe Canyons(峡谷) of Americas Southwest are deep, ancient openings in the earth. They look as if they formed as the earth split apart. But the canyons did not split. They were cut by rivers.Looking at the Grand Canyon is like looking back in time. Forty million years ago, the Colorado River began cutting through the areas. At the same time, the surrounding land was pushed up by forces deep within the Earth. Rain, snow, ice, wind, and plant roots rubbed away at the top of the new canyon. Below, the flowing river continued to uncover more and more levels of ancient rock.Some of Earths oldest rocks are seen here. There are many levels of granite(花岗岩), schist(片岩), limestone, and sandstone.The Grand Canyon has several weather environments. The top is often much different from the bottom. On some winter days, for example, you may find cold winds and snow at the top. But at the bottom, you may find warm winds and flowers.Several kinds of plants and animals are found in the canyon and nowhere else on Earth. Because the canyons environments are so different, these species did not spread beyond the canyon, or even far within it.Native American Indians occupied the Grand Canyon three thousand years ago. Today, the Grand Canyon is known as one of the seven wonders of the natura
