My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend Katie and the dog. Thats when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy (阴暗的) one.I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else I would need for the day. I ran into my parents I room to find dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. Id never seen my dad cry before. My heart sank. What possibly could have happened?Max, Im so sorry, I heard him say. Thats when it hit me. I knew that Suzie had died.Max has been my dads best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was going on; she knew that she had problems and was different than other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldnt live a normal life, she was still happy.When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew apart. She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten she had to live in a hospital in Virginia. About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end. Suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life. She wanted to know everything I did and everything I ate. In a way, she lived through me.After we found out about her death, we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral. When she was alive I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. I had bought her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket (棺椁).Her funeral was very different than any funeral Id ever been to. After they lowered her casket, each one of us put a shovelful of dirt over her. I remember crying so hard, I felt weak. My cheeks burned from the tears. My whole body was shaking as I picked up the shovel, but Im glad I did it.When Suzie and I first started calling one another, I thought it would be more of a burden on me, but I was completely wrong. I learned so much from her. She gave me more than I could ever give to her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never take anything for granted, especially my health and the gift of life.56 The authors family cancelled their ride because_.A. the authors friend Katie couldnt join them for the rideB. the weather was too terrible for a rideC.

When this happened, I spent time observing people and found that the New York City trains formed an underground NYC.I met all kinds of people there. Sitting in trains coming from suburban boroughs (区) like Queens and Brooklyn, I saw babysitters and house keepers, in white or pink uniforms, carrying a shopping bag with lunch and another prettier bag for their makeup. Some gentlemen in suits get squeezed (挤) in between ladies, reading the New York Times, holding Starbucks coffees and a piece of napkin.The passengers skin color would get lighter as the train went from suburban areas to uptown NYC. Clothes brands changed from Nike and Babyphat to Armani and Prada.Getting lost is not embarrassing at all. Even New Yorkers who have lived in the city for 20 years need to check out the map before going to a new place by train. People from other states are just as confused as foreigners when they are thrown underground.It was funny when people carrying big backpacks and holding maps, asked me where they could transfer while I was trying to find an exit. Im sorry, I am trying to find my way out too. I felt really bad about not helping them. To my surprise, the two guys with blue eyes didnt look disappointed at all. They laughed and told me, Oh, we are wondering if theres really an exit because we have been walking around here for 10 minutes and we still dont know where to transfer to the uptown train!NYC trains are just like doors rotating (旋转) on and on. If I hadnt got lost several times, I might not have had the chance to stop and see what was happening outside my block.60. According to the article, what kind of people has the author seen in the subway?a. babysitters and housekeepers in uniformb. people wearing Armani and Pradac. gentlemen with newspapers and coffeed. tourists with big backpacks and mape. foreign women carrying a shopping bag with lunch and their makeupA. a,b,c,d B. a,b,c,e C. b,c,d,e D. a,c,d,e61.

Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.Take Fuller NoteNotes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easyto read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.Study the MiddleThe best time to review is soon after youve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.Sleep On ItStudy before going to bed, unless you are very tired. Its easier to remember material youve just learned liter sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after youve fallen asleep.Combine Memory and UnderstandingThere are two ways to remember; by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.64. You can notice your mistakes by_.A. saying things out aloud B. taking noteC. studying the middle D. sleeping on it65. The underlined word rote most probably means_.A. reading B. memorizing C. understanding D. writing66. Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding? _A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.B. Relating new ideas and concepts to what you already know.C. Reading from the beginnin
