A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the  36  was he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of  37  as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to  38  in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the  39  of the rescue.

It is almost  40  that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his  41  : “First of all I checked up my  42  conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no  43  to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from  44  . In this way I dozed(打盹)off. ”

His story put an end to my regret for the  45  of an exploration adventure that happened last year.

Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the  49  people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the  50  of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to  51  themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering(闪烁)not far away.

Don’t you think that you can compare it with  52  itself? When you meet with obstacles in life and work, you are lost in darkness. 53  you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle  54  . It seems to be a negative attitude,   55  a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.

Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.

Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.

One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Gloria has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.

Years later, as a television hostess, Gloria heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.

Gloria persuaded her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, some doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.

Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!

At Smith's bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it's the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the programmes, helping them understand the world better.

56. When did Gloria get her first job?

A. A few years before college.            B. Several years after college.

C When she was studying at college.       D. When she was working in the TV station.

57. In which part-time job did Gloria feel the happiest?

A. Cleaning in the hotel.                 B. Selling books in the bookstore.

C. Serving coffee in the student union.       D. Making maps for the Forest Service.

58. How did Gloria help the child get the operation he needed?

A. Her boss agreed to raise money.          B. She paid for the operation herself.

C She allowed the boy to show on TV.       D. Her news report affected some doctors.

59. What particularly gives her the feeling of pride?

A. Helping people through her work.        B. Reporting interesting stories.

C Being able to do different jobs well.       D. Paying for her college education herself.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to be point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”

Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure all your life!

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population was made up of mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems, both legal and educational, for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.

Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.

One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.

Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions(规定) of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.

64. What can be implied from the first paragraph?

A. Before the 1980s, the homeless population mainly consists of children.

B. Urban schools are seriously short of academic facilities.

C. Many homeless children gather in inner cities.

D. Homeless children are deprived of the opportunity to receive free education

65. The National Coalition for the Homeless believes that the number of homeless children is ___

A. 350,000       B. 440,000       　C. 3,000,000   　　D. 220,000

66. The reason why one part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate might be that ___

A. the homeless children are usually making a living by themselves

B. the homeless population is growing very fast.

C. some homeless children are abandoned by their families

D. the homeless children usually don’t attend school regularly

67. The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ____________.

A. all homeless people are allowed to receive a good education

B. there is an increasing number of homeless children in America

C. it is necessary for homeless children to be counted as children

D. the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized

Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment(投资) available in the developing world. Women’s education may be an unusual fields for economists(经济学家), but increasing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on encouragement, provides an explanation for why so many girls are not educated.

Parents in low-income families fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school---the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle(恶性循环) of neglect.

An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an completely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all the children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.

Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. Bit it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously , there is the direct effect of education on the pay of female workers. Pay rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
