Dolores Huerta

Dolores liked teaching but she decided to quit her job so that she could spend more time helping her students and their families. One thing she wanted to do was to get more pay for their parents, farm workers. Thus they could buy their children what they needed.
Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables, like grapes and tomatoes. She began talking and writing about these workers. Even people who lived far from California read what Dolores wrote. Getting higher pay for the farm workers was not easy. Dolores worked hard to make sure that farm workers got fair pay for their work. She knew that nothing would change unless new laws were made to help the workers.

C
I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention. Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, “I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough.
Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild. “This isn’t family,” he replied. “though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family. Old Ed and I grew up together.”
They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it’d generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. “I should have kept in touch.” He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn’t seem to find the time. “But we used to find the time,” he said. “Take a look.” He handed the letter over to me.
The first sentence “I’ve been meaning to write for some time, but I’ve always delayed it.” reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said “Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that”, I found myself nodding in agreement.
We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: “So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you.” And it was ended with “Your Old Friend, Tom.”
“I thought your friend’s name was Ed,” I said.
“I’m Tom,” he explained. “It’s a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he’d died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner.” His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.
When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away. I had to write a letter and post it.
49. From Paragraph 4, we learn that the author _________.
A. often fails to write to his friends B. doesn’t want to write to his friends
C. had many great moments with his friends D. was good at expressing his feelings to friends
50. Who wrote the letter?
A.Old Ed. B. The driver’s grandchild. C. The author. D. Tom.
51. It can be inferred from the passage that the driver regretted ___________.
A. missing Ed’s funeral B. moving away from his neighborhood
C. forgetting to send Ed Christmas cards D. not being able to keep in touch with Ed
D
Since the Second World War, there has been an obvious trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stage of adolescence, “go steady” through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying heads over the unacceptable ways of youth. However, emotional(情感的) maturity does not grow with age; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.

Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are bad and all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own benefits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few false expectations, and if it is economically workable, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.
52. The phrase “shaking of graying heads” refers to _______.
A. the anger of parents B. the disapproval of elderly people
C. the improper behaviors of the young D. the emotional expectations of young lovers
53. The author thinks the idea of marriage as an escape is _______.
A. acceptable B. controversial(有争议的) C. immature(不成熟的) D. unreasonable
54. The author argues that _______.
A. young people can benefit little from early marriages
B. elderly people are wrong about early marriages
C. early marriages are not always unsuccessful
D. early marriages should not be encouraged
55. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Young people’s failure in marriage results from disillusionment.
B. Young people shouldn’t have many expectations for marriage.
C. Successful marriages depend on emotional maturity.
D. Home is the place where you get rid of loneliness.
