F．You can win as long as you try your best
G．Determine your issues and keep your promises
Convincing people to vote for you is probably the scariest part of an election．The best strategy is to show your fellow students that you will do a good job．How do you do this?
61．_________________________________________
Think about why you want to run and what you want to do if you win．These are your issues．Then let people know what you will do if elected．When you do this, be careful not to make promises you can’t keep．Make sure your issues affect all students．If you promise to try to get the whole school painted your favourite color, students probably won’t vote for you．But, if you promise to get rid of that yucky（令人反感的）lunch menu item that no one likes, or raise money for more computers in the library, students will see that you are interested in things they care about, and they’ll vote for you．
62．____________________________________________
Keep it short, simple, and interesting, and students will remember you．Start by writing down your issues and the reasons you think you’re a good person for the job．This is the heart of the speech and will convince other students to vote for you．Start with a story to get people listening and then move on to your issues．Practice your speech so you get used to it, and you won’t be as nervous．Ask your parents or friends to listen a couple of times before the big day．When the time comes to give your speech, relax．You’ll be ready and the other students will notice．
63．_____________________________________________
One of the best ways to get people to vote for you is to talk to them about it．Ask your friends to help．In many elections, people don’t vote at all．If you take the time to talk to them ,and remind them to vote, you’ll increase your chances of winning．Remind them why you’re running, and why they should vote for you．They’ll appreciate that you took the time to talk to them in person．And they’ll probably remember your name on the ballot（选票）!
64．_____________________________________________
When you make your campaign posters, use a catchy slogan that helps other students remember your name．It can help you win votes．If you have trouble coming up with a catchy slogan, try searching the Internet．Don’t depend solely on posters．Your fellow students have to know why you’re running, and that’s why your speech and networking are so important．
65．_______________________________________________
If you keep these things in mind, you can win your election．Just remember that you have to be prepared to work hard to help your fellow students improve your school．
If you don’t win, remember there are always other ways to get involved and make a difference．If students see that you get things done, you could easily win the next time．

One day my teacher said, “ Life is a game of chess, and the other player is time．” From that moment, I knew I had to enjoy my life．Do not waste time, because, you know, time will not come back．You cannot buy it．It is one of those things in life that you must really, really value．
When you see an opportunity, take it．You might not get it back．Never let an opportunity pass．And if it is too hard, remember that in the middle of every difficulty lies an opportunity．
Remember, you cannot choose how you' re going to die, or when．You can only decide how you' re going to live．Study as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow．Don' t just think of the present, but also think of your future．Your future is yet another chapter in your life and another way to live it．
Every single living thing has a purpose in life．"The purpose of life is a life of purpose," said Robert Byme．
Learn to use time wisely, take opportunities, and enjoy life．We can discover the meaning of life in three different ways: （1） by doing a deed; （2） by experiencing a value; （3） by suffering．Life．

Perhaps you have never heard of Katherine Lawes．Katherine was the wife of Lewis Lawes, warden （监狱长） at Sing Sing Prison from 1920 to 1941．In these 21 years he made many reforms --- and an important part of his success was due to his wife Katherine．
Katherine took seriously the idea that the prisoners are human beings ,worthy of attention and respect ．She regularly visited inside the walls of Sing Sing．She encouraged the prisoners, took things to them and spent time listening to them．Most importantly, she cared about them．And as a result, they cared deeply about her．
Then one night in October of 1937, news was "telegraphed" between the prison cells that Katherine had been killed in an accident．The prisoners asked the warden to allow them to attend her funeral．He agreed to their strange request and a few days later the south gate of Sing Sing swung slowly open．Hundreds of men who had committed almost every crime imaginable marched slowly out of the prison, later gathered again at the gate and returned to their cells．There were so many that they proceeded unguarded．But no one tried to escape．If he had, the others might have killed him immediately．So devoted were they to Katherine Lawes, the woman who daily walked into Hell to show the men a piece of Heaven．
Katherine' s strength was to see the men less as prisoners and more as individuals．Thomas Moore once said, "We can only treat badly those things or people whose souls we show no respect for．"

A．encouraging the prisoners B．visiting the prison houses

55．Why did the prisoners ask the warden to allow them to attend Katherine’s funeral?

B．Because Katherine was the wife of the warden．
C．Because Katherine made reforms in the prison．
D．Because Katherine had been killed by one of them．
56．Whom does the underlined part “the others” refer to?
A．The policemen at the funeral． B．The other prisoners．
C．The guards． D．The policemen from other prisons．
