Last weekends, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 41 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 42 outside and I had no plans to continue to be in the bright sun. She 43 wanted to give lemonade (柠檬汽水) to passersby for free. I had seen little kids serve and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 44 , I decided to help her. Then she asked me, “What if we 45 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 46 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with creative ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n) 47 with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the theme of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 48 to do something for others.
All that seemed 49 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 50 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 51 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some old 52 to help clean cars. The passersby were 53 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 54 ! I feel blessed by being 55 by such wonderful and loving souls.

四. 阅读理解 （30%）（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
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。
( A )
Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile. But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well­known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”
The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.
56. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1 ?
A. He made good use of ideas from others.
B. He produced the first car in the world.
C. He knew how to improve auto parts.
D. He invented the production line.
57. Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?
A. To show off his driving skills.
B. To draw public attention.
C. To learn about new technology.
D. To raise money for his new company.
58. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?
A. Producing cars for average customers.
B. Building racing cars of simple design.
C. Designing more car models.
D. Starting more companies.
( B )
The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:
*TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.
*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.
*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap(小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
59. Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?
A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.
B. they will improve children’s ability to get along with others.
C. They are likely to make children more aggressive.
D. They will make sure of children’s success in the future.
60. Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?
A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.
B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.
C. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports.
D. Children like to snack while watching TV.
61. What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep?
A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.
B. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced.
C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.
D. It will make children sleep easier.
62. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.
B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.
C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.
D. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.
( C )
Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams.
