When my brother and I were growing up, we mowed (割草) yards during the summer to earn pocket 36 Dad offered our service to neighbors at a price they could not 37 . My brother and I got $ 10 per yard. I later found out our friends were 38 $20 or more for the same amount of work.Every time we 39 out to mow lawns, Dad stood watching our work in the heat when he could have been inside relaxing 40 air conditioning and an icy drink.One afternoon we were 41 our neighbors yard. She always waited 42 the grass was knee-high to call us over. What made matters 43 was that we had an old lawn mower that kept shutting off as we worked through her lawn. This particular afternoon, I was 44 up and was tired and sweaty.Approaching the end, I pictured the tall glass of icy drink I would have to 45 down pretty soon. I thought about the 46 change I was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it 47 broke the mower. 48 Dad called out, You missed a piece. He insisted until I went back to cut that piece of grass.Other neighbors took 49 of the good work we did and we soon collected more 50 . By the end of the summer we had five customers, which was all we cared to 51 because we wanted time to enjoy our summer break from school.The lesson my dad taught me 52 with me: Be professional.

My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden. I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didnt need to lecture; she didnt need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.I am slowing down and it isnt because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. Ive begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.56Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mothers Day?A. Because Mothers Day falls shortly after Earth Day.B. To stress that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.D. Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mothers Day.57Which of the following is NOT related to Moms “green life”?A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy. B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.C. Setting a caught spider free in the garden D. Picking dandelions on busy streets.58We can infer from the article that _.A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as wellB. the authors mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard C. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy lifeD. the authors mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.59The writers attitude towards her moms behavior changed in the order of _.A. understanding critical approving B. approving doubtful negativeC. negative understanding approving D. doubtful critical positiveBI lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadnt been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I dont mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me-a potential to live, you might call it-which I didnt see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadnt been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. I cant use this. I said. Take it with you, he urged me, and roll it around. The words stuck in my head. Roll it around! By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphias Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.60We can learn from the beginning of the passage that _.A. the author lost his sight because of a car crashB. the author wouldnt love life if the disaster didnt happenC. the disaster made the author appreciate what he hadD. the disaster strengthened the authors desire to see61According to the context, “a chair rocker on the front porch” in paragraph 3 means that the author _.
