    Eight years ago, my wife and I created the Wish You Well Foundation. Since its start, we’ve funded literacy(讀寫能力)programs in more than 30 states. We’ve heard unbelievable stories of determination and perseverance(毅力). In Pittsburgh, I met a 30-year-old man who tearfully related how he’d finally learned to read so he could help support his family. In Connecticut, a woman shared her story of finally learning how to read at 50 so she could be able to read to her grandchildren.

    We’ve also started a program called Feeding Body & Mind, operated jointly with Feeding America, which is the distributor for most of the nation’s food banks. The program collects books, then ships them to food banks around the country. That way people go home with food, which they need to live, as well as with books, which they need to change their lives.

    “The program seeks to address the connection between literacy, poverty, and hunger, ”explains Ross Fraser of Feeding America. “Anyone who lacks basic literacy skills will have a very difficult time finding employment that provides a living wage, making them destined(注定) for a lifetime of poverty. Our food banks have a saying, ‘A child who is hungry and cannot learn becomes an adult who cannot earn. ’”

    All of us can join in the fight against illiteracy. Become aware of the literacy rates in your state and county by going to the website at nces. ed. gov/naal, which shows this data. Send a letter to your representatives in Congress asking for increased funds and action. Reach out to local libraries and literacy organizations to learn about becoming a tutor and other volunteering opportunities.

    There is no greater gift than teaching someone to read. With that one skill, you help develop someone’s potential and make it as varied and endless as the stories still waiting to be told.

60. The underlined word “related” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.

A. made a connection

B. learned by heart

C. brought back to one’s mind

D. told a story

61. From Paragraph 2, we can know that _______.

A. books are transported by bus

B. books can change people’s lives

C. Feeding Body & Mind produces food

D. Feeding Body & Mind publishes books

62. From the passage we can know literacy skills have an effect on _______ .

A. finding jobs

B. making friends

C. practicing determination

D. learning skills

63. What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To call on more people to fight against illiteracy.

In many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying. Learning to use the controls is easy and comes quickly, and you can measure the results in terms of sharp and correctly developed pictures. Once you have mastered that, you can start on the second step of your photographic work. Using these basic skills in the wide variety of situations to give the pictures you want, noticing what you see through the viewfinder and turning that into the most effective picture becomes totally interesting.
All good photographs have one thing in common: there is no doubt what the subject of the picture is meant to be. Every photographer must use those same standards to his or her work, not only to finished results but to the subject before he or she takes it. Always work out quite clearly what the subject of the picture is to be and why you are taking the picture. For example, "I am going to take a picture of this street to show the different styles and ages of the buildings and that people have been living, working and shopping in them since time began." By doing this you have a better idea of what to include in the picture and what to leave out. How often have you been shown photographs taken by people away on a trip somewhere? The judgment is always similar, something about "the car park is out of the picture to the left", or "you can't quite see from this picture but if you go up the street". The photographs are usually collections of buildings, people, parked cars, possibly a distant look of an ancient church, and best of all, a figure which you are told is Aunt Henrietta, disappearing in the middle distance. When photographers show you their pictures, they have a clear idea of what they want to bring to your attention, but it often does not appear in the picture. If they had given just a little of their time to think about their future judgment before taking the picture, then the picture would relate its own story. Good pictures can show their subjects quickly and easily.
64. What does the author mean by saying "in many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying"?
A. The skills of photography are not as satisfactory nowadays as before.
B. The earliest pictures were the best pictures people have ever taken.
C. The present-day photography depends more on technology than on art.
D. Learning to produce a sharp and correctly developed picture is only the first step in photography and is easily learned.
65. What will it bring you if you decide the purpose of the photograph in advance?
A. It will allow you to leave out unnecessary material.
B. It will allow you to stand in the best place.
C. It will help you to vary the subjects of your pictures.
D. It means you will waste less time.
66. Many photographers fail because ______.
A. their pictures include both buildings and people    
B. everything is not clear in their pictures
C. the subjects of their pictures are not obvious
D. the explanation given for their pictures is mistaken
67. What book is this passage most likely taken from?
A. A book on photography for news reporters.   B. A book on how to photograph people.
C. A book on choosing the right camera.           D. A book on improving photographic techniques.

Most students try to learn English grammar using grammar textbooks. They study grammar rules and take grammar tests. They use an analytical（分析的） approach, attempting to memorize, and then apply, a great number of rules.

     However, research has proved this method inefficient and ineffective. The truth is, the human brain simply cannot consciously remember process and use hundreds of or thousands of grammar rules. Real speech is too fast.

    Native speakers do not learn grammar in this way, but rather intuitively (憑直覺地) and unconsciously. They learn in a complete way, not by attempting to memorize individual grammar rules. As a result, native speakers use correct grammar fluently and easily.

     Fortunately, it is possible for English learners to learn grammar this way. Language teacher Blaine Ray has developed a unique "intuitive" approach to teach English grammar. Her system uses "point of view" stories to teach the patterns of English grammar, allowing students unconsciously to acquire correct grammar without ever studying grammar rules.

     In this system, the teacher first tells a simple story from one point of view. It may be told about the past, then repeated, but beginning with "since he was a child"; then repeated again, but this time about the future.

     Listening to these stories allows students intuitively and effortlessly to learn English grammar and makes them be able to use it correctly when they speak.

     Point of View Stories is a creative new way to study English grammar, and offers hope to millions of frustrated English learners.

1.Which of the following ways is approved by the author?

A. Remembering grammar rules.

B. Taking grammar tests.

C. Analyzing grammatical structure.

D. Applying language to situations.

2. What does the underlined part "this way" in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. Talking to native speakers when learning.

B. Learning English grammar in a complete way.

C. Using correct English grammar.

D. Learning English grammar from a teacher.

3.From this passage we learn that ______.

A. native speakers learn English grammar by listening to stories

B. Blaine Ray’s method gets students to grasp correct grammar unconsciously

C. Blaine Ray teaches grammar rules by asking students to tell stories

D. it’s hard for students to speak correct English in the new system

4.This passage wants to ______.

A. criticize the traditional way of learning grammar

B. introduce a new way to study English grammar

C. ask students to learn English grammar by listening to stories

D. tell us how the native speakers learn English grammar

5.Why shouldn’t the English learners use an analytical approach?

A. because the analytical approach can let them learn English grammar effortlessly

B. because the analytical approach makes them be able to use English correctly when they speak.

C. because the analytical approach can’t let them memorize and then apply a great number of rules.

D. because Real speech is too fast.
