She wanted to lose weight, not just because she wanted to look more beautiful and healthier, but also because it would make life easier. For example, it was difficult for Lisa to find ready-made clothes that would fit. She had to ask a tailor to make clothes that were large enough. In school, she needed a special chair which was bigger and stronger than the other chairs. If she went for a walk, she got tired very quickly. She was also unhappy about the way people treated her sometimes. “People look at me and even make fun of me. Thats unfair! Its true that Im overweight, but I dont think people should treat me differently because Im big. I cant enjoy having dinner with my friends because Im afraid of getting fatter. ”Her friends and family never made fun of her. They tried to help her instead. They wanted her to be happy and healthy. Sometimes when Lisa was feeling sad, she didnt want to speak to anyone. But now things are quite different. Last month her classmates were preparing for the School Art Week. Someone advised Lisa to play the lead role of the Proud Queen who was tall and fat. Lisa agreed and practiced a lot. Soon after the play, Lisa became the star! She did so well that everybody remembered the Proud Queen. They stood around her and said “Congratulations”to her. She even won the School Best Actress Award for her wonderful performance. Now Lisa doesnt worry about being fat any more. She believes in the English saying “Every dog has its day.” 51. How did Lisa feel about her weight at first? A. ProudB. WorriedC. HappyD. Strange 52.

BDear Disney, Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical. We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldnt take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride. Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, “Promise? ”Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Glorias new friend with “her”ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream wont last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, “Thank you, ”but Im sure she thought it was the same ice-cream. We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond! Yours, Carmen Rivera 54. The familys visit to the Magic Kingdom was _. A. helpfulB. awfulC. frighteningD. amazing 55. Before the ride, Gloria cried because _.

Visit art museums. They offer a variety of activities to excite your kids interest. Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings by childrens favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts. Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up. Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet（木偶）making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find. Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. Theyll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums. 58. If a child is interested in the universe, he probably will visit _.

Its something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, its a waste of time. I dont mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment. Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her. I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul. 62. In the authors view, shyness can be explained as _. A. a not very normal mental conditionB. a disease that can be easily curedC. something we pick up after birthD. a kind of emotional disability 63. From the passage, we know that Johnny Carson _. A. has dealt with shyness very successfullyB. has done away with his shyness carefullyC. is described as a hero in some legend booksD. failed to become a good talk show host 64. The passage tells us that Sally Fields was _. A. proud all the timeB. close to Jane FondaC. impolite when youngD. shy in her early years 65. The author thinks that our shyness is there because _. A. we are not open enoughB. we dont feel secure at heartC. we try to reach out to others all the timeD. we lack some social skills第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，共7.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tiffany, a 16-year-old girl, was very shy. Last September, her best friend, Sophie, moved abroad with her family because she had to continue her studies in America. She even said she would not come back for at least a few years. 66 “I was really sad the moment I heard the bad news and I didnt know what to do”, Tiffany recalled （回忆）. “I shut myself in my room for a whole week. It was then that my aunt took me to a sports club one Saturday and I saw so many young people playing various sports there. I signed up for a beginners course in volleyball and since then I have been playing this sport. Now I practice twice a week there. It is wonderful playing sports in this club and I have made lots of friends as well. 67 ”The most basic aim of playing sports is that you can improve your health even if you are not very good at sports. 68 Tiffany used to be a very quiet girl. Since she joined the sports club, she has opened up herself and now she has become very active and enjoys meeting and talking with others. Fo
