The day was like any other day in his life. After school Bill walked past the shop on the street corner. He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he fell sorry for himself. He really wanted to have a pair for his birthday.

He sadly walked away and thought of what to tell his mother. He knew she would give him anything if she could. But he also knew she had little money. He decided not to go home at once, as he looked worried and didn't want to make his mother worry about it. So he went to the park and there he sat on the grass. Then he saw a girl in a wheel chair. He found that the girl moved the wheels with her hands. Look at her carefully and was surprised to see that girl had no feet. He looked down at his own feet. "It is much better to be without shoes than without feet," he thought. "It was not right for me to feel so sorry and sad." He wet away and smiled, thinking he was more lucky in life.

"USA? British? Which country is better to study in?" We often hear such discussion. As China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.

It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find a job.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.

Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking in an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for the students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad .is very high. But is it worth it?

W e know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad in the right choice.

55. From the passage , we learn that many Chinese students dream about studying abroad to ___.

A. learn about the new world B. make a lot of money

C. taste a new life D. learn to look after themselves

56. The writer mentions Liu Xiang in the passage in order to tell us that ______.

Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation(开采) of the natural resources, such as oil. Though there are many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and appearance of many more factories, the more we use, the fewer there will be left for the future. Oil is getting less and less year after year. It's said that oil can last for only 50 years. Natural gas perhaps will last about 38 years.

Oil can be used in many ways and it's difficult to imagine what the modern world will be like without oil. But oil isn't easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When they think the rocks in a certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built. A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe(钢管) is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the sides with great force(力量) by pressure(压力)of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushes high into the air. If oil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire. So a kind of cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps.(活塞)

If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through pipes to towns far away and used in houses and factories like coal gas.

Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many countries, the govenments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.

58. The writer wants to tell us ____________.

A. we should use the oil carefully B. the oil is easy to find

C. we should save oil D. the oil runs everywhere

59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

60. People use a steel pipe because _____.

A. the pipe is strong enough to stand there

B. the pipe can cut a hole down into the ground

C. oil can run through the pipe
