Taxis passed me one after another 36 I didn’t have enough money to get one. My wallet was in my pocket but 37 I had was a five-yuan note. Taking a bus would 38 three, so I would be left with only 39 to buy something to eat. I was very hungry as I had only eaten one meal all day. Waiting at the bus stop, I 40 eagerly for a store 41 I could buy food. Then I heard an old woman’s voice 42 behind me, “Steamed corn(蒸玉米)！Steamed corn！One yuan each!” Her voice was breaking and 43 deep despair. Staring at the old woman, I felt pity. She was 44 ,just like a beggar. But she was much older than the other beggars in the street. Her face was 45 and her eyes were full of tears. Her large withered(干枯的) fingers kept a tight hold on her basket of steamed corns. What had happened to her? Why was a woman 46 selling corns on such a cold evening? I felt sad. I had to do something. I took the five-yuan note from my wallet and handed it to her. She had said each steamed corn cost one yuan, so I could buy 47 . But if I did that, I would have nothing 48 to pay for the ticket. I wouldn’t be able to get home. Finally, I decided to give the woman two yuan for one steamed corn, 49 my pity for her. To my surprise, she refused to accept the 50 one yuan, saying she wanted to work for her money. She was already 51 to me because I was the only person to buy steamed corns from her all day. I was 52 moved. She was so old and weak but chose to sell snacks 53 beg. From that moment, I had 54 for her, and didn’t feel pity any more. The corn was sweet and delicious. But 55 made me happier was that I helped a respectable old woman as much as I could.

Do you have any of these bad habits ? Check yourself by answering “yes”or“no” to these questions. a) Do you move your lips when reading silently ? b) Do you point to words with your fingers as you read ? c) Do you move your head from side to side as you read ? d) Do you read one word at a time ? If your answer “yes” to any of these questions , start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then when your lips move, you will know it and stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still. If you read no more than one word at a time, you need to work in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you read fairly fast now, you can learn to even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in several groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster. 56. What do you think of those habits talked about in the text _________. A. we should remember those habits B. they should be got rid of C. they are difficult to get rid of D. they are good for our studies 57. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as to __________. A. hold a piece of paper between your lips B. keep yourself from talking to others C. tell others to be silent D. feel whether your lips move or not 58. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to __________. A. read the words out B. look at every word carefully C. read several words at a time D. remember every word 59. If you can read fairly fast now, __________. A. you don’t need to learn to read faster B. you can go on reading like that C. you can learn to read even faster D. you can enjoy reading

Dear Students, I am delighted to be your guest. I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness. In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope. Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescuer workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive. Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming. In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people. 60. The underlined word “ famine ” in Paragraph 2 means __________. A. pleasure B. joy C. luck D. extreme lack of food 61. What can we learn about Rosa ? A. She’s a rich lady and she likes to help the homeless children. B. She’s a kind-hearted woman and she provides houses for the homeless children. C. She’s a great mother and she looks after the homeless children. D. She’s a good teacher and she teaches the homeless children. 62. The speaker is giving a speech to students in __________. A. China B. Canada C. Turkey D. India 63. For what does the speaker admire the Turkish woman and the Chinese boy? A. Their bravery. B. Their strong mind. C. Their age. D. Their luck.
