The phone of the “Nightline”rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper, Connie, to get it. She had been taking down the callers names in Morries small black appointment book. It was clear I was not the only one interested in visiting my old professorthe “Nightline”appearance had made him something of a big figurebut I was impressed with, perhaps even a bit envious of, all the friends that Morrie seemed to have. “You know, Mitch, now that Im dying, Ive become much more interesting to people. Imon the last great journey here-and people want me to tell them what to pack.” The phone rang again. “Morrie, can you talk?” Connie asked. “Im visiting with my old friend now,” he announced. “Let them call back.” I cannot tell you why he received me so warmly. I was hardly the promising student who had left him sixteen years earlier. Had it not been for “Nightline,” Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again. What happened to me? The eighties happened. The nineties happened. Death and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened. I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it. Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years, as if Id simply been on a long vacation. “Have you found someone to share your heart with?” he asked. “Are you at peace with yourself?” “Are you trying to be as human as you can be?” I felt ashamed, wanting to show I had been trying hard to work out such questions. What happened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money, that I would join the Peace Corps, and that I would live in beautiful, inspirational places. Instead, I had been in Detroit for ten years, at the same workplace, using the same bank, visiting the same barber. I was thirty-seven, more mature than in college, tied to computers and modems and cell phones. I was no longer young, nor did I walk around in gray sweatshirts with unlit cigarettes in my mouth. I did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life. My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied. What happened to me?56.

Both the author and Morrie liked travelling.B. Morrie liked helping people pack things for their journeys.C. The author envied Morries friends the help they got from him.D. The author earned a lot of money at the cost of his dreams.59. Whats the authors feeling when he writes this passage? A. Regretful. B. Enthusiastic. C. Sympathetic. D. Humorous.B“San Francisco, open your Golden Gate,” sang the girl in the theatre. She never finished her song. The date was 18th, 1906. The earth shook and the roof suddenly divided, buildings crashed to the ground and people rushed out into the streets. The dreadful earthquake destroyed the city that had grown up when men discovered gold in the deserts of California. But today the streets of San-Francisco stretch over more than 40 steep hills, rising like huge cliffs above the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. The best way to see this splendid city, where Spanish were the first to make their homes, is to take one of the old cable cars which run along the nine main avenues. Fares are cheap; they have not risen for almost a hundred years. You leave the palm trees in Union Squarethe heart of San-Francisco and from the shop signs and the faces around you, you will notice that in the city live people from many nationsAustrians, Italians, Chinese, and others, giving every part of the city a special character. More Chinese live in China Town than in any other part of the world outside China. Here, with Chinese restaurants, Chinese post-boxes, and even odd telephone-boxes that look like pagoda, it is easy to feel you are in China itself. Fishermans Wharf, a place all foreigners want to see, is the end of the ride. You get out, and then set out to find a table in one of gay little restaurants beside the harbor. As you enjoy the fresh Pacific sea food, you can admire the bright red paint of the Golden Gate Bridge in the harbor and watch the traffic crossing beneath the tall towers on its way to the pretty village of Tiberon. When you finish your meal, you may decide to take a boat-trip around the bay to look at the sights. You can stare at the famous, now empty, prison of Alcatraz. Then why not go to the fishing village of Sansalitoa little like Londons Chelsea or New Yorks Greenwich Villageto see people painting and to look at their pictures. You will be able to enjoy a view of the city from the sea and take pleasure in the soft red and blue Spanish-type houses shining in the bright Pacific light. If you have time you might like to go by bus to Carmel, a hundred miles south of San-Francisco, where you will discover a wild and wonderful coast with high cliffs. 60.
