阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When I woke up on summer mornings, I know I am going to my favorite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone’s life just by being with him or her--- a summer school for autistic （患孤独症的）children.
By helping the kids read or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping them feel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autistic. The kids I work with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas.
Of course, each kid is special. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.
At the school, the kids learn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skills they will need later in life.
The very first day I volunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said “Hello.” From then on, I knew I could make a difference.
Another boy loved to have me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could be encouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during reading practice, he read nearly 220 words himself.
Summer school is also a time for fun. Last summer, bagpipe （风笛）players came to perform. Most of us had our hands over our ears because they were so loud. When they asked for a volunteer from the audience, one girl raised her hand as high as she could, got up on stage, and even tried the bagpipes in front of everyone.
Through these experiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing many amazing things. I’m teaching them, but they are teaching me more.
56. According to Paragraph 2, many people think autistic kids _______.
A. can’t read or do math
B. don’t have important skills
C. don’t play with other children
D. can’t think or feel
57. The author believed he could make a difference when ______.
A. a boy greeted him actively
B. a boy let him read books

Bulgaria is famous for its roses and produces about 85 percent of all the rose oil in the world. Rose oil is called liquid gold（液态黄金） and is used in making soaps, chocolates, perfumes （香水） and so on.
The first records about growing roses on Bulgarian land go back many centuries. The Rose Valley developed in the area between the cities of Kazanlak and Karlovo in central Bulgaria.
The roses seem to love the soil and weather there. The rose is the most important plant grown in Bulgaria, which could be called the country on the roses. The rose plantations （种植园）in the Rose Valley are the largest in the world.
Much of the population in the Rose Valley works in the rose industry. In Bulgaria, we produce rose oil, rose water and other products. Rose oil is used in high-quality perfumes produced in many countries. The main flower grown is the Kazanlak rose, which is famous around the world.
The oil is prepared by distillation （蒸馏）. Each flower is picked by hand, and you need 3,000 kilos to make one kilo of rose oil. That means about 30 flowers for just one tiny drop oil. So you can understand why it is so expensive and is called liquid gold.
Each year on the first weekend in June, during the harvest, there is a Festival of Rose in Kazanlak with many performances. Judges choose the Queen of Roses as part of the summer festival. After this, she honors the most skillful picker of roses in the harvest.
This festival is an old tradition and goes back more than a century. Today it also includes an International Folklore Festival and attracts many tourists. The festival ends with a concert in the evening. There are also festivals in Karlovo and other towns. Come to see and enjoy.
63. The passage mainly talks about _____.
A. the Bulgarian life
B. rose festivals of the world
C. the roses in Bulgaria
D. the living habits of roses

BLOOMINGTON --- Once Staci Roper, 14, starts sending text messages, she finds it hard to stop. “ Sometimes I text from the time I get up until I go to bed, except during school,” said the eighth-grader at Kingsley Junior High.
Her sister Sara Roper, 18, also texts a lot, saying “It is a lot easier than using the telephone.”
For teens, technology has become a common way to start and keep social contacts.
