Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each blank.
If you are a mother and you have to give up your dream of receiving higher education due to the need to raise a family. Yet always keep that dream in the back of your mind while a tight schedule of lack of funding (資金)keeps you from pursuing it, then President Barack Obama may be able to help.
He is offering education money to help those women who pursue their dreams. The aid, in the form of a $ 10,100 scholarship, is meant for stay - at - home moms, single mothers, and other women who want to go back to school .
With this scholarship, the mom doing the studying will not have to work while going to school because the education will be paid for. Busy schedules are always an issue with mothers, but online education is available, which definitely frees up time that would otherwise be spent on the commute (往返路程)to and from class, All American women have access to the scholarship, which does not have to be paid back as student loans do.
If you're wondering how going back to school could be beneficial to you, the answer is many ways. Such an education may give you the skills necessary to pursue the career you've been dreaming of, and you will be able to bring in more income to support your family. It will also make you feel more confident. Just think how nice that new diploma (畢業(yè)文憑)would look in one of your rooms, and how great you will feel as you are heading off to your first day at a new job！ It will also make your children look up to you, and give them the courage to pursue their own dreams.
Take advantage of the scholarship now, because it won't last forever, especially with money tighter than ever during this economic recession (經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退)

Dear Ms Jordan,
I am sorry for misbehaving in class .I won't do it again.
Tyler Vincent Turner
This is a letter of apology that my six-year-old son Tyler wrote to his teacher .It was simple enough and took less than five minutes to write, but I hoped the message I was sending to Tyler was one that would have a lasting effect.
When I made the decision, I hoped it was the right thing to do .It turned out that Ms Jordan was thrilled when she received the note . She told me that in her 25 years as a teacher no student had ever written her a letter of apology for misbehavior . She literally looked like she was going to cry.
I want him to realize that he is responsible for his behavior, good or otherwise .That’s why I decided to make him write the letter of apology .I didn’t tell him what to write--- the words were his own. And he did so without any reluctance and gave it to his teacher this morning with a verbal apology.If it happens again, he’ll have to write another letter. Taking responsibility for your own actions should start as young as possible and a six-year-old boy is certainly old enough.

B
The mystery had reached its climax (高潮) The man had undoubtedly been murdered. However, no one present knew who could have killed such a kind person. It was therefore time to call in the great detective, who gave one searching glance at the corpse (尸體), and then used a microscope.
"Aha!" he jumped as he picked a hair off the dead man's coat "The mystery is a mystery no longer. We have only to find the man who lost this hair, and the criminal will be in our hands. " The chain of logic was complete, and the detective started to do his search.
For four days and four nights he moved unobserved through the streets of New York, scanning closely every face, looking for a man who had lost a hair. On the fifth day he discovered a man pretending to be a tourist and his head was enveloped in a cap reaching below his ears. The man was about to board the Gloritania, and the detective lost no time in following him on board.
"Arrest him!" shouted the detective, and then, drawing himself to his full height, he took out the hair. "This is his," said the great detective, "and it proves his guilt. "
"Remove his hat," ordered the ship's captain firmly.

B
Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snow-capped Himalayas. At 26, 545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
“It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous, ” said Viesturs, “There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.”
In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of a lot of difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world’s highest peaks. Finally, he’s done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if we’re here at the right time, under the right circumstances (情況), they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down. ”
What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer. ” says Viesturs. But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
59. What record has Ed Viesturs set?
A. He has succeeded in climbing to the top of the world’s 14th highest mountain.
B. He has become the first American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26, 545 feet.
D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
60. The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “__________”.
A. frightened               B. discouraged                 C. interested              D. upset
61. The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that __________.
A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C. mountain climbing needs more strength than skills
D. those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing
62. What’s the next probable plan of Viestures?
A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family.
B. Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again.
C. Meeting other challenges.
D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.
