I mean, he had a head, two arms and two legs, just like the rest of us. About nine oclock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers, one of the older boys, what it was that made this Elvis guy so special. He told me that it was Elvis wavy hair and the way he moved his body. About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage（孤儿院）were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville, Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a hair cut. That is when I got this big idea, which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret, then thats what I was going to get. All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron（女管家）from the orphanage who was taking us to town, that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him. When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Buster Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis. We finally arrived at the big barber shop, where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans（孤儿). I looked at the barber and said, “I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?” I asked him, with a big smile on my face. “Lets just see what we can do for you, little man,” he said. I was so happy when he started to cut my hair. Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing. She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head, like he was telling her “No”. Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts. Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor. 51.In the authors eyes, Elvis Presley was _. A. disgusting B. admirable C. ambitious D. dynamic 52. From the passage, we can know that _. A. Buster Brown was more appealing than Elvis Presley B. An Elvis hair cut cost the orphans a lot of money C. The author was fascinated with the stars Buster and Elvis D. The barber was unwilling to give the boy an Elvis hair cut53. We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was _. A. excited to have an Elvis hair cut B. worried to think about the secret C. anxious to remove the ton of bricks D. careful to seize the chance54. How would the boy probably feel when he walked out of the barber shop? A. Delighted. B. Guilty. C. Self-satisfied. D. Depressed. B Talking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insects. They do this chemically,” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada. Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “ language”. Cahill says studies have shown, for example, that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that its being eaten, it cannot walk away from trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor that alerts other plants nearby. “Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with,” Schultz explained. “All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves,” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.” Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant. In the end, plants ability to communicate their needs-and our ability to understand them- could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals, cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.55. The recent scientific studies have shown that plants can _. A. communicate with other living things in a chemical way B. hardly react to any sudden change in temperature C. use a very special chemical language which is familiar to usD. respond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals56.When being eaten by an insect, the plant will _.A. walk away from trouble B. change its chemistry to kill the insectC. release a chemical vapor to “ask” other plants for helpD. give off nice chemicals to attract friendly insects killing the pest57.The underlined word “alert” most probably means “_”. A. warn B. protect C. threaten D. allow58. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Communication between Plants B. A Chemical “Language” C. Plants Can Talk D. How Plants Protect ThemselvesCDuring the fall months at high school guidance counseling programs, juniors run to the stage to participate in an exercise to help them understand that it is not “where you go” that matters. They hold posters with the names and faces of famous people while their peers (同龄人) and parents shout out with confidence the names of elite (精英) colleges they assume the celebrities attended. The “oohs” and “aahs” follow when they learn that Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college, that Oprah Winfrey is a graduate of Tennessee State and that Ken Burns graduated from Hampshire College. If even a few stressed students and their anxious parents benefit from this information, it is a worthwhile exercise.Even better is giving the students a task to identify the happy, successful people in their own circle of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors and challenging them to go and ask “if or where they went to college” as a means of broadening the conversation in their search for a life after high school.The key to success in college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend. A long-term study of 6,335 college graduates published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that graduating from a college where entering students have higher SAT scores - one marker of elite colleges - didnt pay off in higher post-graduation income. Researchers found that students who applied to several elite schools but didnt attend them - either because of rejection or by their own choice - are more likely to earn high incomes later than students who actually attended elite schools. In a summary of the findings, the bureau says that “evidently, students motivation, ambition and desire to learn have a much stronger effect on their future success than average academic ability of their classmates.” The late author Loren Pope, who wrote Looking Beyond the Ivy League and Colleges That Change Lives, noted that the greater the opportunity for engagement and critical, creative and cooperative learning with staff, peers and community, the more likely the chance for future success. 59. The purpose of the guidance counseling programs is to help students _.A. apply for suitable collegesB. learn about college lifeC. choose the most famous collegesD. know about famous graduates60. Ken Burns example shows that the successful people _. A. dont need support from their friends B. have their own circle of family C. dont necessarily graduate from a famous college D. graduate from a famous college 61. What contributes most to students success in college and after graduation is _.A. whether they enter the elite college or notB. whether they have spared no effort in college or notC. whether they possess a higher SAT scores or notD. whether they have famous schoolmates or not62. According to Loren Pope, future success depends more on
