A.Ejewelry shop in a gray boxIt weighs 8 ozIts round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wristAnd all of it is made of silverThis object tells me the importance of time in my lifeI received this gift on a gray-sky dayI had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to pick up my Uncle Ali and take him to my fathers houseHowever，I was late because I was hanging out with my friendsLater on that day，around 11:00 AM，I remembered my uncle，but I was very late for himHe had left the airport and taken a taxi to my fathers houseI got to my fathers house at 2:00 PM on the same day and looked at my angry fathers faceI felt ashamed of myself at that momentAfter I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle，my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch which was a gift from himThen he said，“Essa，did you have fun with your friends today？”I answered，“Yes，father，and Im sorry about not picking up my Uncle Ali”He said，“What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions”I was ashamed and said，“Father，Ill never do it againI promise”He said，“I hope today you learned something important，and this watch will be a reminder for you”He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my lifeI learned a very important lesson from my father：to respect time and never be late to get someoneThis watch is important to me，not because of its price，but because of the lesson that I learned from it51The watch is so important in the authors life because Ait is made of silverBit tells the author time every dayCit made the author more responsibleDthe authors father sent it to him52The author was late for picking up his uncle at the airport because he AoversleptBwas held up in the traffic jamChung out with his friends and forgot about his uncleDdid not want to go to the airport53The authors father felt when the author reached his house in the afternoonAangry Bhappy Csatisfied Dcurious54From this passage，we may infer that although the author was at fault in being late for picking up his uncle at the airport， Ahe is a responsible personBhe is a careless personChe is an experienced personDhe is an irresponsible personBSome people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once，they will be able to find it again years laterI am one of those unfortunate people who have an extremely poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time，but I manage to get lost on my way thereWhen I was a teenager，I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that some miraculous (奇迹般的) chance would bring me to the spot I was heading forI am no longer too embarrassed to ask people for directions，but I often receive extremely confusing replies and I am no more likely to get to my destination than I was if I had not stopped to ask the wayA lot of people do not like to admit that they do not know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way even if they do not know it；others，who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well，will give you a long list of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember；and still others do not seem to be able to distinguish between their left and their right and you eventually find that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be goingIf anyone ever asks me the way somewhere，I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid confusing them，but even this can have embarrassing resultsI was once on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him to the Sunlight Insurance BuildingI automatically gave my usual reply，but I had only walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office buildingHowever，at this point，I decided it was too late to turn back and search him out of the crowd behind me as I had an appointment to keep at the office with a new client and I did not want to keep him waitingImagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions to my office and his astonishment when be recognized me as the person he had asked55The main idea of this passage is Amost people have good sense of directionsBmost people have poor sense of directionsCthe author himself is a good direction-giverDthe author himself has poor sense of direction56In his childhood，the author wandered round in circles when heading for a certain place because Ahe had a good sense of directionBhe liked to play around on the wayChe was too shy to ask strangers the wayDhe didnt want to go to the place57According to the passage，which type of direction-givers does the writer belong to？Athose who refuse to give any direction with the excuse of lack of knowledgeBthose who give a rather complicated description of directionsCthose who often give the opposite directions to what one expectsDthose whore eager to direct the way though they dont know it at all 58The author introduced his experience in the last two paragraphs in order to show that Apeople may make mistakes if they dont be careful enoughBpeople may sometimes make mistakes even if they try to avoid them Cpeople can avoid any mistakes if they try to do soDpeople can not avoid any mistakes however hard they tryCThere is no doubt that adults，and even highly educated adults，vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their readingSome proceed (进行) very slowly throughout；others dash along too quickly and then have to regress (返回)Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading itA good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matterHe may be able to skim a page，picking up a word or two here and there，and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading itIn reading more difficult material，with the intention of taking in the whole of it，he will proceed more slowly，but even then he will vary his pace，concentrating on the key words and passages，perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainderA less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he readsConsequently，even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowlyBut this pace may be too fast for really difficult material，which requires special concentration at difficult pointsA type of reading which needs careful attention to detail is proofreading，in which the reader，in order to discover misprints in a sample print，has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the textThis is extremely difficult for most people，since they are accustomed to overlooking such detailsIn fact，considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly，and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text59The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed Aamong readers who have different experienceBamong readers from different professionsCamong individual readersDamong the highly educated people60A good reader is one who Aconcentrates on the wonderful part of the textBalways reads slowly and carefullyCchanges his speed according to text typesDchanges his speed according to his interest in the text61It can be inferred from the passage that Aproofreading needs special attention to the detailsBthe faster you read，the better you understandCa good reader is always good at proofreadingDreaders can enjoy non-serious reading with fast reading speed62What does the underlined word“proofreading”in the last paragraph mean？Areading carefully in order to understand the material wellBreading in great detail in order to check errors，especially misprints of the materialCreading from the very beginning to the end in order to locate some good wordsDreading carefully in order to find the answer to some questionsDA few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap，a division between young people and their eldersParents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience，while children complained that their parents did not understand them at allWhat had gone wrong？Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared？Actually，the generation gap has been around for a long timeMany critics argue that it built into the fabric of our societyOne important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-stylesIn more traditional societies when children grow up，they are expected to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and approve of，and often to continue the family occupationIn our society，young people often travel great distances for their education，move out of the family home at an early age，marry-or live with-people whom their parents have never met，and choose occupations different from those of their parentsIn our upwardly mobile society，parents often expect their children to do better than they did：to find better jobs，to make more money，and to do all the things that they were unable to doOften，however，the ambitions the parents have for their children are another cause of th
