But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.I dont sing, said the man.But the lady told the waiter, Im tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing! The waiter shouted across the room, Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song! So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.56.

Nat King Cole succeeded because _.A. the lady helped him a lot B. he caught the chanceC. he continued to play in the bar D. he stopped playing the piano58.

From the story we know if you have some talent, you should _.A. hide it and wait B. ask others for helpC. pay no attention to it D. work hard to improve yourselfBAs a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the enemy would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldnt let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.60. The author had _kind(s) of fears when she was a child.A. one B. two C. three D. none61. _ would scare the author at night.A. Streetlight and car lights B. Wild animals and enemiesC.

She was not at all liked by others.CHi, Antonio,I read your blog and guess what? Now I have a summer job with my neighbor moving their lawn and doing work around their house and I am getting paid.

Where can we find the text most probably?AIn a book. B. In a report C. In a bulletin(公告). D. On the Internet.DAs kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, hes out in the woods, ” with a tone (语气) of airy acceptance. Its similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone Im looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly-tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence（青春期）. In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.68. The author and his fiends were often out in the woods to _.A. spend their free time B. play gold and other sportsC. avoid doing their schoolwork D. keep away from their parents69. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. The activities in the woods were well planned.B. Human history is not the result of exploration.C. Exploration should be a systematic activity.D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly.70. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A. calm B. doubtful C. serious D. optimistic71. How does the author feel about his childhood?A. Happy but short. B. Lonely but memorable.C. Boring and meaningless. D. Long and unforgettable.EJust the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques.From computer-equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry (条目) “next”. Then another question will be randomly (任意地) selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose th
