Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. 26 these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 27 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.
It is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help 28 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about 29 day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea 30 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
He was very tired 31 doing this for a whole day, 32 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 33 (high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.

V. 阅读理解
A
Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.
  Other people may fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to (一定会) make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
  In a word, you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
51. The passage suggests that ______.
     A. a good writer may not be a good speaker   
     B. a good writer is always a good speaker

When Josephine Cooper was growing up, she learned the importance of charity from her parents. Although they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.

Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.
