After a long 42 , one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide assortment of insects. He 43 the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing 44_ Then he said quietly and 45 , Even if we dont dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!Their 46 was far too ambitious, but it did 47 them to dig. And that is what a goal is for - to cause us to move in the 48 we have chosen; 49 , to set us to digging!But not every goal will be fully 50 . Not every job will end successfully. Not every relationship will endure. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every endeavor will be completed. Not every dream will be 51 . But when your aim 52 , perhaps you can say, Yes, _53 look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!It is in the 54 that life is lived. And I believe it is joy in the journey, in the end, that truly 55 .36.

I dont need it, my student says. Im going to be a basketball star. Or a car mechanic, or a singer. Middle school students maths skills were tested by the International Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The United States ranked 28th out of 41 countries tested. After all, when was the last time you used algebra (代数)?But maths isnt just about training Americans to become scientists. It has its own value. It helps you see patterns and develops your logic skills, and it teaches you to concentrate and to separate truth from falsehood. Maths helps you make wise financial decisions, so you can avoid false claims from advertisers, politicians and others. It helps you determine risk. For example, after an airplane crash, studies show that people are more likely to drive than to take a plane in spite of the fact that they are much more likely to be killed or injured while driving. Planes are not like criminals who repeat the same crime over and over. One plane is not more likely to crash just because another plane recently did. In fact, the most dangerous time to drive is probably right after a plane crash because so many people are on the road.It is not possible to really understand science and the scientific method without understanding maths. A rainbow is even more beautiful and amazing when we understand it.The precision of maths helps us think in a very special way. How do we bring the learning of maths back to life? I dont have the big answer. I try my best to help pupils find answers to some maths problems. When I can get one to say, wow, thats great, I feel the joy of a small victory.56. Some American students dont care about their poor maths results because _.A. maths is useless to most peopleB. they have no interest in mathsC. they think maths has nothing to do with their futureD. they dont do well in maths57.

The writer would agree that _.A. its normal that American kids are weak in mathsB. without maths well miss much in our lifeC. maths is the most important subject at schoolD. American kids dont work hard at school59. This text is most probably written by_.A. a student career guide B. a researcher on students problemsC. a specialist in students studies D. a maths teacherBLooking for Canadian culture? Try checking out the ice rink. We love hockey, says Marion Alexander, a Canadian English teacher in Beijing. It really is Canadas sport.There is no other sport so close to the hearts of Canadians and no other sport in which they have been so successful. But how much do you know about hockey?Hockey is played on a court of ice called a rink. Each team has six players a goalie (goal keeper), a center, two defensemen, and two forwards. All of them wear ice skates. Instead of a ball, hockey players use a puck (冰球), a small black object made of rubber.Each team tries their best to hit the puck with their hockey sticks into the other teams goal. Whichever team scores the most goals at the end of the three periods is the winner. Hockey has a lot of rules, says Alexander, But once you are used to it, it seems very natural. In Canada, hockey is part of the national identity. Many Canadians play hockey when they are growing up and many families make a tradition of watching the games. I played goalie when I was younger, remembers Alexander. My family would always watch the Calgary Flames (a team in the National Hockey League) play on TV.Hockey doesnt just unite families. It also brings the whole country together, especially during the Olympics. Canada is a diverse country that doesnt have a strong unified culture like China. That is why hockey is so important. Supporting the national team brings all of Canada together, says Alexander.60.

Supportive. B. Opposing. C. Neutral. D. Pessimistic.CAfter 13 years of his record-breaking around-the-world expedition, Jason Lewis pedaled Moksha, his 26ft wooden boat, on the Way to completing the first human-powered circumnavigation (环球航行)of the globe.During his 46,000-rnile journey, the 40-year-old from Dorset hit a reef in the Caribbean, was chased by a giant crocodile in Australia and arrested as a spy by the Egyptian military after boating into their waters from Sudan. Lewis was also robbed and beaten several times, run over by a drunk driver in Colorado - who broke both his legs.Traveling only under human power, without sails he boated across the Atlantic and the Pacific, rollerbladed across the United States and cycled across Australia.After 13 years away, apart from one visit when his father became ill, Lewis said of Britain, It doesnt seem too different. Ive had my first usual restaurant breakfast and the fried eggs taste the same., the weather hasnt changed and there are more speed cameras. Asked what he had missed most about Britain, Lewis said, Ive seen enough deserts.

Im torn, Im very happy to be finishing it. Its taken so much longer than originally expected, but at the same time Im sad that its coming to a close. Im very emotional, he added.The final leg of Lewis s journey began with a single mile s paddle along the Thames from the Greenwich Yacht Club to the Trafalgar Rowing Centre, where he started his journey on July 12, 1994, when John Major was prime minister and Wet Wet Wets Love Is All Around was at number one in the singles charts.64.

Yet this choice is full of geopolitical meaning.President Vladimir Putin flew to Guatemala City to address IOC delegates before they voted, and surprised them by speaking in French and - for the first time ever in public - English. Later he declared that Soehis victory was not only a recognition of Russias achievements in sports but also an assessment of our country.Sochi, located between the Caucasus and the Black Sea, has poor roads, one old ski resort (胜地) and out-of-date facilities. In the next five years it will be t
