A
One day in 1965，when I was a librarian at View Ridge School in Seattle，a fourth grade teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge. “Could he help in the library?”she asked. I said. “Send him along. ”
Soon a slight，sandy—haired boy in jeans and T—shirt appeared. I told him about the Dewey Decimal System for shelving books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him a pile of cards for long—over due books that had actually been returned but were miss shelved with the wrong cards in them. He said，“Is it a kind of detective job?”I answered yes，and he became a continuous detective.
He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door andannounced，“Time for rest!”He argued for finishing the finding job；He won.
The next morning，he arrived early and finished the books. At the end of the day，when he asked to be a regular librarian，it was easy to say yes. He worked untiringly.
After a few weeks I found a note on my desk，inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of a pleasant evening，his mother announced that the family would be moving to a neighbor school district. Her son’s first concern，she said，was leaving the View Ridge Library. “Who will find the lost books?”he asked.
When the time came. I said an unwilling good—bye. Though at first he had seemed an ordi—nary kid，his zeal(热情)had made him different.
I missed him，not for long. A few days later he came in the door and joyfully announced，“The librarian over there doesn’t let boys work i n the library. My mother got me to come back to View Ridge. My dad will drop me off on his way to work. And if can’t，I’ll walk!’’
I should have an idea that such focused deter monition would take that young man wherever he wanted to go. What I could not have guessed，however，was that he became a wizard(奇才)of the Information Age：Bill Gates，tycoon(巨头) of Microsoft and America's richest man.
56. Why did the boy leave a deep impression on the writer?

A. He looked for missing cards like a detective
B. He worked on the books returned but put in wrong places.
C. He worked as a detective.

The 13一year—old diver yesterday won his ticket to Beijing with a top performance in a qualifying event (选拔赛)He will be 14 Yeats and 81 days old by the time he competes in August.

Tom had already been chosen as one of the suggested candidates(候选人)for the
2012Olympics in London. His father，Robert，37，who goes with him to every competition，said，“When we heard Tom had qualified he held his arms out to me and hugged me so tight and I hugged him back. He said，'I'm going to the Olympics.’”

He trains up to seven hours a day and is on a strict diet. In the past，Tom had said，“All my friends at school are really supportive of my diving and they treat me like a normal friend. However，some people start laughing at me，and I’ve got to just ignore it and think："Well, you're not going to do anything else in your life other than work in McDonald's. '"
Steve Foley，the national performance director for British diving said Tom had the ability to win an Olympic medal later this year. He added，“It’s one of those gifts that you are born with that makes him so special，rather than his athletic ability. ”

Have you thought about what determines the way we are as we grow up? Remember the TV pro-gram Seven Up？It started following the lives of a group of children in 1963. We first meet them as wide—eyed seven一year—olds and then catch up with them at seven—year intervals(间隔)：nervous l4一year—olds，serious 21一year—olds，then grown—ups.
Some of the stories are inspiring，others sad，but what is interesting in almost all the cases the way in which the children’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives. for exam—ple，at seven. Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver.When he grows up，he goes to do both. How about Nicki，who says，“I’d like to find out about the moon. ”and goes on to become a space scientist? As a child，soft—spoken Bruce says he wants to help“poor children”and ends up teaching in India.
But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern. the program would be far less in—teresting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so interesting. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grow up? Are children influenced by what their parents do，by what they, see on television，or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single event? Many film directors，including Stephen Spielberg，say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives. Dr Margaret McAllister，who has done a lot of research in this area，thinks that the major influences are parents，friends，and the wider society.
64. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. New ways to make a TV program interesting.
B. The importance of TV program to children.
C. Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.
D. The influence of childhood experience on future lives.
65. In the TV program Seven Up we can meet__
A. different groups of people
B. only children
C. the same group of people
D. only grown—ups
66. What are the examples in paragraph 2 meant to show?
A. Many people’s childhood hopes are related to their future jobs.
B. There are many poor children in India who need help.
C. Children have different dreams about their future.
D. Many people are very sad in their childhood。

67. Spielberg’s story shows that___
A. going to a movie helps a child learn about society
B. a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown一up
C. parents and friends can help a child grow up
D. films affect a child than teachers do

Once Upon 1001 Stories

But one day a rat snake was on the ceiling，and it plopped(扑通掉下)down and Kali caught it. Then he made friends with his classmates after that. It’s a great book because it’s about snake catching and that’s the kind of thing that I like.
