They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly，the old ladys work was interrupted by the cackling of her hena signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the haystack.The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proofthe children were sure that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs.There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the old lady fell.“We have to go and help her, ”whispered Amy.“What if it is a trick？”replied Ben.“Dont be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already，”reasoned Meg. “Come on Amy, lets go. ”The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old ladys face. She had knocked her head on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken. “Go and get Dad，” Amy yelled to her brother. “Tell him about the accident.”The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.56. Why were the children hiding in the tree?A. They wanted to watch Mrs. Tailor do her housework closely.B. They were playing a hide-and-seek game.C. They wanted to find out if the rumors about Mrs. Tailor were true.D. They were pretending to be spies.57. Mrs. Tailor stopped sweeping when_.A. her front steps were cleanB. she noticed the children in the treeC. she was ready to take a flightD. she heard the hen cackling58. Ben did not rush to help Mrs. Tailor because_.A. he thought that she could be tricking themB. he knew that they should not have been in the treeC. he did not see the old lady fall downD. he was afraid of the three-legged cat59Which of these old sayings best suits the storys lesson for us?A. Make hay while the sun shines.B. Never judge a book by its cover.C. People in glasshouses should not throw stones.D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.BYou might not know it, but there is something wonderful at your fingertips. You can make people happier, healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their hands. Doctors say that body touch is a kind of medicine that can work wonders. When people are touched, the quantity of hemoglobin (血红蛋白) a type of matter that produces the red color in blood increases greatly. This results in more oxygen reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits. In experiments, bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of life. They became sad and negative. Studies showed the monkeys were more probable to become ill than other babies that were allowed to stay with their mothers. Human babies react in much the same way. Some years ago, a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery became weak. Yet babies in another nursery were growing healthily, even though they ate less well and were not kept as clean . The reason , he concluded , was that they often had touches from nurses. Experiments show that most people like being touched. And nearly all doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients fear of treatment. Of course there is time when a touch is not welcome. But even if we dont like being touched, a smile can make us feel better. Smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of “happy brain” chemicals. So lets have a big smile and dont forget to keep in touch.65. According to the passage, _.A. human brains need oxygen and blood supply now and thenB. touches from doctors and nurses have nothing to do with treatmentC. new-born baby monkeys should stay away from their mothersD. not all the people like being touched66. The word “benefits” in the second paragraph probably means _.A. to be useful or helpful B. to get something useful or helpfulC. to be ill D. to be hurt67. The best title for the passage might be _.A. Why People Touch B. Smile and Touch C. Wonders of Touch D. Touch or NotCOn my first job as a sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise, I didntget a lot of interesting mail, so I was intrigued when seeing a letter on my desk one morning. The envelope bore the logo of the closest big-city paper, the Toledo Blade. When I opened it, I read: “Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up with the good work.” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words could not have been more exciting. I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared. Whenever I doubted whether I could had be a writer, I would reread Dons note and walk on air again. Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging word to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.”Why are positive and enthusiastic note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many people away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood, sound old-fashioned or flattering. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, appreciated, and treasured. What does it take to write notes that lift spirits and warm hearts? Perhaps just a desire and a willingness to express our appreciation. It is difficult to be voluntary, however, when you have to hunt for letter writing materials; so, keep paper, envelopes, and stamps close at hand, even when you travel. Fancy stationery is not necessary; its the thought that counts. So, who deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or your doctor? You do not need to be poetic. If you need a reason, look for a life changing event, the anniversary of a special event you shared, a birthday, or holiday, and do not hold back your praise. Such words as: “greatest,” “smartest,” “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praises run a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled. 63. On seeing the letter on the desk, the author felt _.A. annoyed B. curious C. doubtful D. shocked64. According to the author, many people dont write upbeat notes mainly because they are _.A. afraid of being out of date B. too shy to flatter othersC. prepared to make phone calls D. too concerned about what others think65. It can be learned from the last paragraph that _. A. praises often run ahead of reality B. praises help in pursuing a dreamC. parents often write upbeat notes D. parents expect childrens success 66. What might be the suitable title for the passage? A. The Power of a Positive Note B. Notes Help to Fulfill DreamsC. The Necessity of Writing Notes D. Note or Phone, Your Own Choice DHomeownership has let us down. For generations, Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good. Homeownership could even save babies, save children, save families and save America. A house with a lawn and a fence wasnt just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment; it was a way to transform a nation. No wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than $100 billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy.But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent: Indeed, easy lending stimulated by the love of homeownership may have aroused the financial crisis. Housing remains a drag on the economy. Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the last month, worsening fears of a double. And all that is just an obvious housing dream and what happened when it popped. The real story is deeper and darker still.For the better part of a century, politics, industry and culture lined up to create the idea of buying a house. Homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades. Yet by idealizing the ac
