Many Chinese young people are inspired by the Chinese Dream. Everyone has their own dreams. They give us courage and confidence to keep us going through difficulties, Here is some advice on how to realize our beautiful dreams. Never giving up is the key to make our dreams come true. We may fail from time to time, but we can learn from failure, correct our mistakes and try again until we achieve our goals. Our life is like a long journey which is not all roses. It sometimes has wind and rain. We believe rainbows will appear after storms. Cooperation is also necessary. Everyone likes a person who is good at cooperating with others. Besides. in our society most problems cant be solved by one person alone. Cooperation is becoming one of the most important ways for people living in the developing society. At the same time, we should learn to examine our abilities because it helps us know ouradvantages and disadvantages as well as get a full control of ourselves. Then we may be confident enough to face challenges. Follow the suggestions above, and our dreams are sure to come true.51.

Examine Our Abilities D. Advice on How to Realize Our Beautiful DreamsB We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why. Look down, Elsa, Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village, And I saw the criss-cross（纵横交错） of streets leading to the square. See, my dear, Father said gently, There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road. try another. Now I understood why I was there, Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she didnt believe the lunches were as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he would not interfere（干涉）. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan. At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, The cook must have gone bad! Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would deal with the matter of lunches at school the next day! In the following years I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldnt stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Fathers wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square,54. The authors father took her to the top of a church tower to_ A. enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town B. encourage her to find out another way to solve her problem C. find out how many ways lead to the square D. help her forget some unpleasant things earlier that day55.

What did the authors mother think of her lunch soup after she tasted it? A. It wasnt so bad as the author said. B. It was delicious. C. It couldnt be worse. D. It was as good as her cook did.57. The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph means_. A. the cook agreed to serve the soup to Mother B. the matter of lunch was successfully settled C. her father persuaded her mother successfully D. the way the author thought of was successfulC James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves(奴隶). His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name. J.C. he replied. She thought he had said Jesse, and he had a new name. Owens ran his first race at the age of 13 After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time in order to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later. A week before the Big Ten games, Owens fell down when he went downstairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he was helped in and out of the car that drove him to the games. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he should give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book. The stage was set for Owens success at the Olympic Games in Berlin(柏林) the next year, and his success would come to be considered as not only athletic but also political(政治的). Hitler(希特勒) did not give congratulations to any of the black American winners. It was all right with me. he said years later. I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him,anyway. After returning from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death. Owens Olympic success made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and racing against cars and dogs. Sure, it worried me, he said later. But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat. In the end, however, his gold medals changed his life. They have kept me alive over the years, he once said. Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.58. In the Big Ten games, Owens_. A. hurt himself in the back B. had to give up all events C. tried every sports event but all failed D. was successful in setting many records59. We can infer(推断)from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that timebecause_. A. he didnt talk to the US president on the phone B. he was the son of a poor farmer C. he was the grandson of black slaves D. he didnt shake hands with Hitler60. When Owens says They have kept me alive over the years, he means that the medals A. have been changed for money to help him live on B. have made him famous in the US C. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs D. have encouraged him to face difficulties in life 61. What can be the best title for the text? A. How to Be Successful B. Jesse Owens - A Great American Sportsman C. The Big Ten Games D. Making a Living As a SportsmanD I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate Yes!. As I planned the meat in my head, I reflected(反映)on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart. But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her sm all way of trying to ease our pain. Later in my life, when l was on bed rest during my pregnancy(怀孕)with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter. Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls(心灵). When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.62.
