Summer school isnt easy though.

Her friends passed algebra, so they had most of June, July, and August free from school work. Going to summer school also meant that Gabis family had to change their summer vacation plans.Gabi had to be in summer school from 9 a.m. to noon. She couldnt stay up late at night.

During the day, the white walls of the lighthouse shined under the sunlight, while at night it burned a light for those at sea. Many people visited the lighthouse, and when they did, they talked about its size and strength and loved the beauty that it added to the surroundings. Some told its keeper how its light had saved them during a storm. All loved the lighthouse except a little oil lamp that lived in the lighthouse. By day it hung forgotten at the bottom of the stairs. When it was getting dark, it helped the keeper of the lighthouse make his way from the bottom of the stairs to his bedroom. It seemed to the oil lamp that he is not important. To his way of thinking, his shortcomings were clear because he was near one so much greater than he. Always, the oil lamp worked under this heaviness of heart. Then one day, after a brilliant afternoon when many visitors had come to play on the sandy beach, there was a knock at the door. It was a boy, looking for a friend who was lost. The sun had set and what had seemed such friendly shores hours before was now dark and cold. The keeper quickly took the boy inside and hugged him into a blanket. Then he reached to the wall and took down the little oil lamp. After carefully making sure that the tank was full of oil, the keeper lit the lamp and whispered, “Burn bright tonight, my dear friend. I cannot take the lighthouse with me. He serves his purpose here, but you were made for times like this. It is now that I need you most!”At that moment, all of the oil lamps doubts were replaced by joy- joy in knowing that here was something only he could do. All through the night, through bushes, the oil lamp burned brighter and more steadily than ever before. He had to; the keeper was depending on him. At last the lost boy was found and brought safely back to the lighthouse and his friend. Never again did the oil lamp doubt his place or purpose. He had learned a great lesson that night: he was happiest and most useful being himself. 49. The little oil lamp didnt like his job because _.A. he thought the light house were more important than him B. he had to help the keeper make his wayC. he was forgotten by all the peopleD. his work was heavy at heart50. The oil lamp burned brighter and more steadily than ever before that night because _.A. the boy depended on him to find his lost friendB. the keeper loved him more than the lighthouse C. he could replace the lighthouseD. he found his own value51. What can we learn from the story?A. Every coin has two sides.B. Each one has his strong points. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.DIt does not matter who wins. We are told that from day one and its usually said by losers. If we do not care who wins, then why do we compete(竞赛)? Fun, experience, the chance to meet new people - these are the reasons we try to compete with each other.People will compete over anything. Every Christmas, my neighbors and I have a little Christmas light competition. It is heaven for the electric company, but I think we give Will Rogers Airport a scare. It is bright enough to land a plane in our front yards.I admit that last year my neighbors won, but only because they bought all the lights Wal-Mart had before I could get there. Personal competitions are great, but we get a little carried away. I cannot stand seeing coaches shout at kids playing sports. Who cares if someone loses and the other team wins? Im tired of people competing just to win. It happens not only in sports, but in music competitions, too. People auditioning（试音）for chair placement in certain bands can get really unfriendly. This year I did not audition for a certain band, but I went to auditions anyway. This was the first time I actually had the opportunity to understand the whole picture. Other times Ive been the person who was nervous and anxious. This time, I sat back and watched everyone else. I realized that the people who arent so good are terrified of the good people, and the good people are frightened that the bad people have taken lessons and can now make them feel terrible. Unless a person is on the outside looking in, I dont think anyone realizes this. Maybe competing is human nature, but we shouldnt let it influence our judgment. Showing no respect to opponents（对手）, letting competition become our life is not the meaning of competition.A little competition is healthy, so it shouldnt hurt anyone. If it does, someone somewhere needs to back off, find the good thing hidden inside, and try it again. Winning isnt everything, and losing isnt the end of the world. 52. The writer mentions his competition with his neighbors to _. A. make excuses for his failure B. show his care about the airport C. suggest his neighbor cheat in the competition D. show people really care about the result of competition53. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refers to (指的是) _. A. the rules of competition B. competitors effort to win C. the influence of competition on life D. the negative attitude to competition54. From the passage, we can learn that _. A. the writer failed the audition B. competitors may be unfriendly to each other C. it is coaches who always mess up the match D. those who watch opponents calmly always win55. Which of the following opinions does the writer probably agree? A. Competition for the job is difficult. B. People dont care about winning or losing. C. Competition is healthy, but it may do harm to us. D. The disadvantages of competition weigh more than the benefits.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。（共10分，每小题2分）There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much.
