For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the young man waited for signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embossed(饰以浮饰) in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed (遗赠) all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.When he arrived at his fathers house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”.56. The young man wanted his father to buy a sports car because _.A. his father took pride in his high gradesB. his father was able to pay for itC. he needed it for his businessD. he wanted to take part in a car race57. From the passage, we know that on the morning of the young mans graduation _.A. the father bought a car for his sonB. the young man got the car he had admired for many monthsC. the father gave his son nothing but a lovely leather-bound BibleD. the young man accepted the beautiful wrapped gift box willingly58. The story tells us that after graduation the young man _.A. called on his father with his family once or twice B. got on very well with his wife and his fatherC. succeeded in doing business with his fathers helpD. didnt go to see his father for many years59. Why did the young man open the Bible and begin to turn the pages?A. Because he knew there was a car key in the Bible.B. Because he wondered if his father had paid for the car in full.C. Because he felt sorry for what he had done to his father.D. Because his father wrote a note of the list of his possessions in it. (B)There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I dont mean while youre unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.The 5% mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstanding may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong. Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in ones own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say. “You have to practice guessing what the word means from the context.”This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.And whats more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.Dont guess! Look it up!60. It is certain that the best way to learn new words is _.A. to learn them by oneselfB. to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequentlyC. to guess them from the contextD. to get more separate meanings of each word61. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.A. the 30, 000 wordsB. English teachersC. misunderstood wordsD. frequently used words62. Which of the following is most likely NOT true?A. Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.B. Most of the 30, 000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.C. How many words the writer got wrong are not known.D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.63. It can be inferred that _.A. when somebody is conscious, he or she usually cant learn new words by heart B. we must use the words as often as possible in order to master themC. its the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the contextD. only dictionaries can help us learn language well. (C)Sports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters many take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.64. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that .A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences65. According to the passage parents and coaches should .A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to deal with stress66. The authors purpose in writing the passage is .A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout (D) She was dancingMy crippled（瘸腿的）grandmother was dancingI stood in the living room doorway, looking at her beautiful movements, absolutely shockedShe was the pet of the dancing worldAnd then shed had her accident and it as all overI had read that in an old newspaper article SoYour leg?
