“What happened?  43   didn’t you shoot?” his father said in a controlled voice. The boy didn’t answer. His lips were trembling.
“Because they were so  44  ,” he said and burst into tears. He sat down, face buried in his hands and wept. All  45  of pleasing his father was gone. He had his chance and he failed  .
For a moment his father was  46  . And then he said, “Let’s try again.” Jeremy didn’t lower his hands. “It’s no use, I can’t.”
“Hurry, you’ll miss them. Here!” Gold metal touched Jeremy. He  47  up, unbelieving . His father was handing the camera to him, and said softly, “Quick!,” Jeremy stood up and pressed his shutter release(快門) button in a flash. “I got them!” His face was bright.
Jeremy saw that there was no disappointment in his father’s eyes,  48  pride and love. “I’ll always love shooting. But that doesn’t mean you  49  . Sometimes it takes as much   50  not to do a thing as to do it.”  He paused. “I think you could teach me how to operate that camera .”

In the 1880s, Mark Twain established and operated his own publishing firm. He also became interested in various investments, especially an elaborate typesetting machine. He lost almost $200,000 in investments in the machine between 1881 and 1894. Also, his publishing company declared bankruptcy (破產(chǎn)) in April 1894. Thus, in January 1895, Mark Twain found himself publicly shamed by his inability to pay his debts.
Mark Twain eventually recovered from his financial difficulties, through his continued writing and a successful lecture tour in 1895 and 1896. During this much-publicized tour, Twain lectured in such places as India, South Africa and Australia. By the time he returned, he had become an international hero. Twain enjoyed this attention, and his habits of smoking cigars or a pipe and wearing unconventional white suits contributed to his showy image. He also made use of his position as a public figure to criticize the US foreign policy.
Although he was recovering from his financial problems by 1898, Mark Twain had begun to experience tragedy in his personal life. Suzy, his oldest daughter, died of meningitis (腦膜炎) in 1896, while her parents and sister Clara were abroad. In 1903, Mark Twain sold the beloved house in Hartford, which had become too closely associated with Suzy’s death. His wife, Olivia, who had developed a heart condition, died on June 5, 1904.

Because he devoted all his energy to his writings.
Because his publishing firm bankruptcy.
He lost almost $ 200 000 in investments in the machine between 1881 and 1894
Because he lost a large quantity of money in various investments.
65. How did Mark Twain pay off his debts?
A.  By borrowing money from the bank.
B.  By investing in foreign countries.
By writing articles and a successful lecture tour.
By printing his own articles and selling them for money.
66. It can be inferred that Mark Twain ________________.
hated smoking cigars
liked wearing black clothes
hated the US foreign policy at that time
hated giving lectures in the foreign countries

Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.
71   Make a study time and have it at  the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.
Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle.    72   ideal (理想的)study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.
Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity.   73   
You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.
74   Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.
75   This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.

   Will you get a good job? What will you do? Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices. They’ve invested a lot of money for their diploma(文憑)and now an important question stares them in the fact.
I’ve seen so many now graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned. An example was Dave,who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years. He had his heart set on working for Nike. But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike,so nothing ever happened. Another example was Allison,who was a history major. She wanted to work as an event planner,but unfortunately,no one hired her. Why? No experience.
Failing to do some solid career exploration first,to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do,is a big error that many college students make. After our suggestion,Dave and Allison both found their jobs. To ensure a brighter future,follow these effective strategies:
—Make educated career choices. Identify the job you want. Conduct research. Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties. Consider what your natural talents are,and look for positions where you can use them.
—Don’t rely on the Internet. Networking is an effective tool—be sure it’s a job—hunting strategy you use. New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4% of job-seekers found their job on the Internet. The fact is that 63% of all jobs are filled by contacts.
Employers are making quick decisions. Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview. It’s deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job.
—Practice your interviewing skills. Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.
60.What does the author seem to be most probable?
A.A job-hunter.        B.A magazine editor.
C.A website owner.       D.A job-seeking adviser.
61.In order to be well prepared for the interview, you’d better ____________.
A.surf the Internet for contacts
B.get along well with your workmates
C.practice the interview for several times
D.take care of your dress
62.According to the text it is suggested that Dave should ____________.
A.let others know what he can do for them
B.study further to get a higher degree
C.give up his interest in playing basketball
D.take part-time jobs first
63.For Allison, she should ____________.
A.find a job in another field
B.find some work to gain work experience
C.not tell the employer her major
D.offer more personal information

C
  This summer vacation,Xiaokai,a high school student in Guangzhou,planned to spend his time surfing the Internet,playing basketball and watching TV.
  But Xiaokai's parents tried to make him read some classics at home.In their yees,reading the classics would do his son much more good than other activities.
  Though his room was full of the classic books,he had just finished reading one of them,The Old Man and the Sea.
  "I picked up the book just because it was not very thick,"he said."Nothing impressed me at all after reading."
  Xiaokai is not alone in today's China.Now most of the teenagers are fond of reading martial arts stories,cartoons and popular magazines.Theose classics cannot get them interested at all.
  Parents areworrying about this phenomenon(現(xiàn)象).They always tell their chilren to read the classsics,which is supposed to help their children improve their academic studies.
  Ms Li made a classics reading plan for her daughter,but her daughter refused to carry it away.She just finished less than 10 pages of the Dream of Red Chamber(閣樓) during the whole summer vacation. Ms Li sighed,"What's wrong with the children today?"
  It is the same with teachers.One middle school Chinese teacher once prepared a chart(圖表) of Interpersonal relationship in the best-known novel Dream of Red Chamber for his students. They were asked to remember how the characters are related to each other while preparing for the final exam.
  To improve the situation in which the fastfood culture (快餐文化) seems to be winning over teenagers,parents are expected to understand their children's interests, and guide them to read the books instead of forcing them,according to some experts.It is not necessary for the kids to read the classics in their childhood.They can read classics after having their own life experience.
  64.Xiaokai read only one classic book because _______.
  A.he didn't have more
  B.he wasn't interested in the classics

A
It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said . “Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life.” At my inquiry, he answered, “Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.”
As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague’s words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn’t the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.
A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades. I found a note a student ahd slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for beign her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class—not about math, but about life—would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.
Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication and a deeper sense of satisfaction – I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.
56. How did the author feel when he heard his colleague’s description of graduation for the first time?
A. He quite agreed with his colleague.        B. He was very puzzled.
C. He thought it very funny.                D. He was very sad.
57. The computer science student called up the author because he ___________.
A. wanted to inform the author of his present job
B. thought the author wasn’t fit to be a teacher
C. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
D. tried to persuade the author to work with him
58. What does the underlined part “blue hats and gowns” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. University colleagues                B. Life memories.
C. Graduates’ clothes.                  D. Decorations in the hall.
59. The author wrote the passage to _________.
A. express his devotion to being a teacher    B. compare two different graduation ceremonies
C. talk about the meaning of graduation      D. give-advice on how to be a good teacher
