Day, I read a Happy Ad in our local newspaperThere was a lady in a local nursing home, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about itIt said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her addressSo I didI found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthdayA week or so later, someone knocked at my front doorI opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstepHe introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the cardHe explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his momApparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mineI just didnt know what to sayI told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthdayThat year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing homeI just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holidayI sent her a Valentine and also a couple of notes in betweenI just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mailShe passed away a couple of months agoI never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my thoughtsI dropped them a line of sympathyI hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth56The old ladys address was given because .Aher family wanted to make her well-knownBthe old lady wanted to receive a birthday cardCthe son of the old lady wanted to meet the authorDher family

special reports on radio and television reflect the concern of many Americans about the increasing dropout rate in our junior and senior high schoolsCoupled with this fact is the warning that soon we will no longer have workforce to fill the many jobs that require properly-educated personnelThe highest student dropout rate is not a recent developmentTen years ago, many urban schools were reporting dropout rates between 35 and 50 percentSome administrators believe that dropout remains the single greatest problem in their schoolsConsequently, much effort has been spent on identifying students with problems in order to give them more attention before they become failuresSince the dropout problem doesnt only start in senior high school, special programs in junior high school focus on students who show promise but have a record of truancy, that is, staying away from school without permissionUnder the guidance of counselors （顾问）, these students are placed in classes with teachers who have had success in working with similar young peopleWays to motivate students in high school include rewarding academic excellence by electing scholars of the month, or by giving out clothing, such as school letter jackets formally given only to athletesNo one working with these students claims to know how to keep all students in schoolCounselors, teachers, and administrators are in the frontlines of what seems at times to be a losing battleActually, this problem should be everyones concern, since uneducated, unemployed citizens affect us all60In junior high schools, much attention is paid to students who .Ado not show any interest in studyBalways behave badly during school timeCseem not to be hardworking in studyDare absent from school although promising61Which of the following can NOT help solve the dropout problem in schools?AGuidance of counselorsBKeeping them in school all dayCRewarding academic excellenceDExperienced teachers in dealing with such students62What can we infer from the passage?ADropout problems only exist in senior high schools in AmericaBDespite the high dropout rates, America will not lack educated personnelCEducators are not confident in keeping students from dropping outDDropout rates in many urban schools reached 35 to 50 percent ten years ago63What is the passage mainly about?ADropout problem in America BNational concern over high schoolsCWorkforce shortage in America DHigh school dropout problemCA year ago, at the annual pre-Grammy party, Whitney Houston, the great star, walked on stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performanceLast Saturday, Houston was once again the focus before the Grammy, but her presence was a regrettable oneEarlier that day, the pop musics former queen was found dead in her hotel roomShe was 48This, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the worldAt her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music worldFrom the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the worlds best-selling artistsShe impressed audiences with her effortless, powerful and peerless performanceBesides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Ha-oe Nothing , and the mostly famous I Will Always Love YouShe also influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah CareyBut by the end of her career, there was a shocking fall for this superstarHouston had been addicted to drugsHer album sales declined and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse （嘶哑的）, unable to hit the high notes as she used toIn 2020, Houston staged a successful comeback with the album I Look To You, which fell on top of the chartsBut hoarse voice, canceled concerts, and continuous illness-Houstons comeback trail wasnt smooth at allIn an interview with Oprah Winfreyin2020, Houston admitted: It （show business） is too much for me and I wanted outNow that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest in peace64Whitney Houston died _Ashortly before the Grammy this year Bearlier last SundayCa year ago Dat the annual pre-Grammy party65The underlined word peerless in Paragraph

Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, CanadaArthur von Wiesenberger is one of the few water critics in North AmericaAs a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed dailyEven then, he kept a record of the brands he liked bestMy dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water, He saysBut is plain tap water all that bad? Not at allIn factNew Yorks drinking water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and puritySimilarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensiveHowever, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share, as bottlers and restaurateurs are longing for the profits from itA restaurants typical mark-up （加价） on wine is 100 to 150 percent, while on bottled water its often 300 to 500 percentAs a result, some restaurants are trying to sell more bottled waterSome of the more shameless tactics（手段） include putting attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners whether they want itRegardless of how its sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear educated, and even a longing for lost purity68By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water, Arthur von Wiesenberger suggests that _Abottled water is superior to tap waterBplain tap water is certainly unfit for drinkingCbottled water often appeal
