A
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor, my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
usually does。

After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned only to find his bike gone。

The bike，a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work，putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family。

And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story。

Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，then called my husband to pick it up。

Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another，but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole。

And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too，can share with others. No matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting。

56. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man's job was bike racing。

B. It was their only possession。

C。

It was a nice Kona 18 speed。

D. They used it for work and daily life。

57. We can infer from the text that ____________.
A。

the couple worked 60 hours a week。

B. people were busy before Christmas
C。

the stranger brought over the bike D。

life was hard for the young family。

58. How did people get to know the couple's problem？
A。

From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper。

C。

From TV news。

D。

From a stranger。

59. What do the couple learn from their experience？
A。

Strangers are usually of little help。

B. One should take care of their bike.
C。

News reports make people famous。

D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
B
Computer programmer David Jones earns $35。

000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card（信用卡)。

Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18. The 16—year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool , where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job。

David’s firm releases（推出）two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.
But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money。

Even though he earns a lot he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage（抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool—based company four months ago，a year after leaving school with six O—levels and working for a time in a computer shop。

“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs.” he said。

David spends some of his money on records and clothes and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
working。

“Unfortunately，computing was not part of our studies at school.” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school。

Most people in this business are fairly young，anyway。

” David added ：“I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休）is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”
60．In what way is David different from people of his age？
A．He often goes out with friends. B．He lives with his mother。

C．He has a handsome income。

D．He graduated with six O-levels.
61．What is one of the problems that David is facing now?

C．He has very little spare time。

D．He will soon lose his job. 62．Why was David able to get the job in the company？
A．He had done well in all his exams. B．He had written some computer programs.
C．He was good at playing computer games. D．He had learnt to use computers at school。

63．Why did David decide to leave school and start working?
A．He received lots of job offers。

B．He was eager to help his mother。

C．He lost interest in school studies. D．He wanted to earn his own living。

Dear Friend，
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge market out there。

And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year 。

.. plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers？They’re ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough？
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed。

The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you，if you show basic writing ability：
You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn’t expect any publication befo re I finished the course，but that happened。

I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute。

Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles。

Free test and brochure(宣传册）
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one—on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today。

There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever。

Sincerely，
Kristi Holl，Instructor
Institute of Children’s Literature

be a successful publisher B. become a confident editor

get one story or article published

Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris。

He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts，and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage。

Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Giv e this package to Jean—Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it。

I think you can find him easily，" Tony said, “You don’t have any luggage，right？”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered。

”You said I could bring one carry—on bag.”
“That's right。

One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip."
“Thanks。

”
Is Brian a criminal(罪犯）？Not at all. He is an air—courier。

And he paid only ＄110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day。

Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company。

It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick。

Every year about 80，000 people worldwide travel as air couriers。

The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year。

However，air-courier travel isn't for everyone。

But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation！
67。

Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?
A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers。

B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C。

Because his backpack had no room for his clothes. D。

Because he did not have any luggage with him。

68。

An air courier is a person who_________。

A. manages a business company in foreign countries B。

organizes international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets D delivers papers and packages to foreign countries
69。

Businesses choose the air-courier service because________。

A。

it costs less B. it is flexible C. it saves time
D. it grows fast
70. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he_____.
A. cannot decide when and where to travel B。

cannot take any luggage with him
C。

has to wear two pairs of jeans D saves little money from the travel
71. The author of the text mainly______.
A. describes the activities of a law-breaker
B. suggests an ideal way to travel
C. argues against the air-courier travel D。

tells us about a developing business

I know wha t you’re thinking ：pizza （比萨饼）？For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast（不吃早餐），and they have
a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don't have time; others think they’re “saving" calories (卡路里）；still others just don't like breakfast food 。

But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you're trying to lose weight。

“Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all," says Katherine Brooking , R .D ，who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE". And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables，and you stick to one small piece。

Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day。

Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal。

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether，and have just coffee or orange juice. I say，try heating up last night's leftovers———it may sound crazy，but if it works for you，do it！I find if I tell myself，“You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it，you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat—burning effects。

72. The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________. A。

food remaining after a meal B。

学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
things left undone
C。

meals made of vegetables D。

pizza topped with fruit
73。

What can we infer from the text？
A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry。

B。

Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C。

There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.
74。

According to the last paragraph，it is important to____________. A。

eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you eat
C。

heat up food before eating it D. eat calorie—controlled food
75. The text is written mainly for those_____________.
A. who go to work early
B. who want to lose weight
C. who stay up late
D. who eat before sleep
