I have no money, no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day Ill sleep in that hotel.” The rich man said, “Tonight your dream will come true. Ill pay for the best room in that hotel for you for a whole month.”A few days later, the rich man went by the poor mans room to ask him how he was enjoying himself. To his surprise, he found that the man had moved out of the hotel, back to his park bench. When the rich man asked why , the poor man said, “You see, when I am down here sleeping on my bench, I dream Im up there, in that big hotel. Its a wonderful dream.

Everyones different, of course, but I thought Id share(分享) some of my experiences. I once took one semester of second-year English in Peking University, but I mostly learned English on my own.One thing I can tell is, once youve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. When youre riding your bike, or walking down the street, just think about “how would I say them in English?” At first, it will be with simple words or phrases, but later you should be thinking about bigger phrases and sentences. Now when Im in America, for the most time, I just think in English, and speak it directly. Its amazing how much this helps. For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of trying to speak English with others because I didnt want to make mistakes. Finally I got over it. And while traveling in America, Id try to hang out with friends who spoke no Chinese, so Id have no choice but to use English. And I decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed, so be it. My English started improving more quickly after that. It may be a good idea to ask any of your American friends to look at the way youre writing the characters, and give some suggestions for improvement.( ) 36. The writer mostly learned English _. A. by asking the teacher for help B. in the university C. at home D. by himself ( ) 37. In the second paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us _. A. how to learn English B. when to learn English C. his experience of living in America D. the importance of learning English ( ) 38. The writer was often afraid of speaking English before others because _. A. some people regarded him as a fool B. his friends laughed at him C. he was worried about making mistakes D. nobody liked to talk with him ( ) 39. When he traveled in America, he would like to hang out with his _.A. English-speaking friends B. parentsC. teachers D. Chinese-speaking friends( ) 40. Whats the best title of this passage? A. Learning English B. Traveling in America C. A Good idea D. Making American friends CMy dad was a fisherman. He worked hard and stayed out until he caught enough to feed the family nearly every day. When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. When we got to the school, he would give me a big kiss on the face and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing(令人难堪的) for me. I was12 years old, and my dad would kiss me goodbye!I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever refused him and he had this surprised look on his face for a long time, and his eyes started to be wet. He turned and looked out the windshield(挡风玻璃). “Youre right,” he said. “You are a big boy. a man. I wont kiss you anymore.” It wasnt long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fishermen stayed at home, but not dad. He had a big family to feedHow I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss. ( )51. What does the underlined word “feed” mean? A. 收留 B. 教育 C. 养活 D. 捐助( )52.
