Oneof my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.Unlike other gifts,
it came without wrap(包装 ).
On September 11th,1958, Mumgave birth to Richard.After she brought him
homefrom hospital,she put him in my lap, saying. "I promised you a gift, and here it is." What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none
of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much
I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried
for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to
a hospital.It had a fever.For several days,I heard Mumand Dad whispering such words as "hopeless","pitiful",and "dying",which sounded ominous. Christmas was coming. "Don ’t expect any presents this year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If your baby brother
lives, that'll be Christmas enough." As he spoke, his eyes were filled
with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. "What? He's all right?" He hung up
and shouted upstairs.“The hospital said we can bring Richard home!" "Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window,I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day!
My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My sacks still hung there
flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!
56. What happened to the author on September 11 1958?

B. He got a Christmas gift
C. He became four years old
D. He received a doll

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they
learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has
not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever
when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years
and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.
A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her
daughter the poemthat begins "Twinkle,twinkle,little star"or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as
follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试 )increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming,
bicycle riding,and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle,
twinkle,little star"and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables( 乘法口诀表 )are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school,because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming( 突击学习 )for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to
learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning,on the other hand,is really necessary for one's future development.
60. What is the main idea of paragraph I?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
61.The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.
A. presenting research findings
B. selling down general rules
C. making a comparison
D. using examples
62.According to the author, being able to use multiplication
tables is_______.
A. a result of overlearning
B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems
D. a basic step towards advanced studies
63.What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams.
B. It's helpful only in a limited way.
C. It's possible to result in poor memory.
D. It increases students' learning interest.

If Confucius〔孔子〕were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles.
He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many peop le in China will remember Confucius on his special
day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’ t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t meanthat Americans don’ t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to
reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently, the Chinese government
has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese
culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy 〔哲学〕. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the
ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks ( 弊端 ) of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing
to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China
is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make
money in China are reading books abo ut Confucius to understand their
Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’ s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more
teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in
the West, even if his birthday is.
68. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
A. provide some key facts about Confucius
B. attract the readers’ interest in the subject
69.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______.
A. have a great interest in studying Chinese
B. take an active part in Chinese competitions
C. try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D.
fight for a chance to learn Chinese
70.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Forgotten Wisdom in America
B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C. Chinese Culture for Westerners
D. Old Thinker with a Big Future
