We wish we had nicer clothes or more money. Everyone likes to feel that he or she is special. 39 , many of us grow up believing we are not special at all. We believe that were not 40 .Most parents want us to be the 41 we can be. Very often, they talk about the differences between 42 people and us. They ask us to learn from our wonderful neighbors. By doing these, they try to help us to do better. They mean well, but we often feel were not 43 a good job. We begin to believe that the only way to be special is by being better than someone else, but we are wrong. Someone is always better 44 something than we are. Lots of people around us may not be as smart as we are, but they may do better in sports. Or they may not be as good-looking, but they have more money. It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time. If some things can truly make us become better people, we already(已经) have them. Every one of us is the only one in the world.

He had four grandchildren, and they all visited him during their holidays. But while he was working, he lost his favorite watch. Before they came to visit, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning the house and buying their favorite foods. The watch was a gift from his deceased (已故的) wife when their first child was born. Joe loved the watch very much. He was very sad. When his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch. One granddaughter asked: “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?” Joe answered: “I guess when I was cleaning the barn!” The children looked for more than two hours but could not find it. One grandson went to search(搜寻) the barn again, and Joe asked why he was going there. The little boy asked the others not to follow him and to keep silent (安静的). He was there for about 15 minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch! Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy said: “I sat there without making a noise, and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the tick, tick sound and found the watch.” Joe hugged him and thanked the little boy. This shows the power (力量) of silence. If we stay calm(冷静的), we are better able to find a solution(解决方法)!52. From Paragraph(段落) 2, we learn that Joe _.A. didnt know his grandchildren B. liked doing housework very muchC. couldnt stand his grandchildren D. waited for his grandchildrens visits53. Joe felt sad when he found the watch was lost because _.A. it was beautifulB. it was a gift from his wifeC. it was very expensiveD. it was a gift from his first child54. One of the grandchildren found the watch by_. A. cleaning the barnB. searching the barn carefully for two hoursC. making no noise and following the ticking sound D. asking his brothers and sisters for help 55. From the passage we learn that “_”.A. Love keeps us busy all the time.B. Helping those in need makes one feel good.C. Believe in yourself and you can succeed.D. Silence sometimes is more powerful than using your voice.C Whos building the new China? Its not the factory owners or the business men and women of China. Its someone else. We see them every day. They work day and night in the terrible working places and weather. They build the roads, the theaters, the cinemas and the supermarkets. They even clean up our rubbish. They are Chinas migrant workers(民工). More than 140 million workers have left their homes in the countryside to look for jobs in big cities all over China. They hope to be rich, but they find its very difficult for them to make enough money. And one of the difficulties is the pride (傲慢) and discrimination (歧视) from the people in cities. When night falls, I see the sad faces of the migrant workers. Many are living far away from the people whom they love. Yes，they dress differently, they speak differently, and they have different habits, but they work hard. The people in cities think they are outsiders, and most governments never give them medical care (医疗保险) and public schooling (公共教育) for their children. If China hopes to move into the future, many things need to change. The first is discrimination! We need to stop our discrimination against the migrant workers of China! They may not make as much money as some people in cities, but they are good people just trying to survive this game of life. These workers are very important and necessary to Chinas economic development(经济发展) and play an important role in changing Chinese society. They are building the new China, so we should help them.56.

More than 140 million migrant workers have been in big cities to make money.C. The people in cities welcome migrant workers although they are outsiders.D. Chinas migrant workers are important in changing Chinese society. DWho says we cant communicate (交流) without words? Mr. Bean, the popular British comedy actor, almost never talks. But he has won the heart of people in over 200 countries. This year, Mr. Bean celebrates his 27th birthday. The funny man first appeared on UK TV screens in 1990. He is careless and clumsy (笨拙的) and always makes a fool of himself wherever he goes. People like Mr. Bean because he shows people British humor (幽默). The TV shows success is owed to Rowan Atkinson, the British actor who plays Mr. Bean. But the famous comedian doesnt think hes humorous at all. “I dont find myself funny, but the characters I play are.” UK newspaper The Observer listed Atkinson as one of the 50 funniest actors in British comedy. In real life Atkinson, 60, is a quiet person. He was a PhD student in electrical engineering at Oxford University. Comedy was an accident for him. The young Atkinson was a little bit shy. To fight against this he joined a drama society (戏剧社) at the university. There, his acting talent was found. Atkinson said Mr. Bean was “a child in a mans body.” He said he imagined Bean as the 9-year-old himself. “The essence (本质) of Mr. Bean is that hes entirely self-centered and doesnt actually accept the outside world.” Because of Atkinsons excellent acting, Mr. Bean has become a British cultural idol around the world. Atkinson even performed Mr. Bean at the opening ceremony of the 2020 London Olympics.60. Rowan Atkinson is _. A. an American actor B. a British actorC. a reporterD. a doctor61.

On the 15th day of the eighth lunar (阴历的) month every year, people celebrate (庆祝) this traditional festival. The full moon means being together with friends and family. Also, many popular legends (传说) and poems are about the moon. They all show how Chinese people watch the moon. The most famous legend is about the lady Change. Long ago, people said there were ten suns in the sky. Her husband Hou Yi shot down nine of them. The Empress of Heaven (王母娘娘) gave him a magic pill (仙丹) as a reward. This pill would make him live forever. However, Change took the pill by accident. Then she flew to the moon and lived there forever. Another legend tells the story of a woodcutter(伐木工) named Wu Gang. He had to cut down trees because he once made the Jade Emperor angry. But the magical tree kept growing back. So he had to work endlessly. People often write poems when they watch the moon. For example, Su Shi of the Song Dynasty wrote his famous The Mid-Autumn Festival, Tune: Prelude to Water Melody (水调歌头明月几时有) during the Mid-Autumn Festival.69.
