Frank’s father was speaking to a friend, one day, on the subject of competition at school. He said that he could answer for it that envy(嫉妒) is not always connected with it.
He had been a 35 many times, but had never felt envious of his successful competitors，“nor did my winning many a prize from my friend Birch,” said he, “ever lessen his 36 for me.”
In support of the truth of this, a friend who was 37 related a story which had fallen under his own notice in a school in his neighborhood.
At this school the sons of several rich farmers, and others, who were poorer, 38 instruction. Frank listened with great attention while the gentleman gave the following story of the two competitors:

When they met again the widow’s son did not 43 , and the farmer’s son, being next to him, might now have been at the head of his class. 44 taking the now empty position, however, he went to the widow’s house to find out what could be cause of her son’s absence.
Poverty was the cause: the poor woman found that she was not able, with her total efforts, to 45 to pay for the tuition(学费) and books of her son, and so he, poor fellow had to give up his schooling, and to return to labor for her support.
The farmer’s son, out of the pocket money which his father gave him, bought all the necessary books and paid for the tuition of his competitor. He 46 agreed he be brought back again to the head of his class, where he continued for some time, with the help of his generous competitor.

For hundreds of years, the people of a Scottish town believed that a dinosaur-like strange creature(生物) lived in a nearby lake called Loch Ness. Many said they saw the creature, but no one could prove it was real.
In 1934, a London doctor, Robert Kenneth Wilson, gave a newspaper a photo of the strange creature. He took the picture, he said, when he suddenly saw the animal in the lake one morning. The news traveled around the world. People came from everywhere to see this creature, now called the “Loch Ness Monster.” Then, in 1993, a man named Christian Spurning surprised everyone. He said the photo of the “Loch Ness Monster” was a lie. He and some friends created the famous picture themselves, and then Wilson gave it to the newspaper as a practical joke.
Today, tricks and jokes like this are common, and many are spread using e-mails. Some can be funny, but others can cause trouble. In August 2000, an e-mail was sent from a large British supermarket chain(连锁店)---Safeway---to thousands of its shoppers. It said, “Store prices are going to increase 25 percent. If you don’t like this, go to another store.” It was signed(签名), “the Safeway Team.” The e-mail worried many of Safeway’s shoppers and caused big problems for the supermarket. Later, Safeway discovered what happened. Someone broke into the company’s website and sent the cheating e-mail.
Not all tricks are as bad as this one. Some make us laugh, and others surprise us. In the end, they all show us that seeing is not always believing.
50. Who took the photo of the “Loch Ness Monster?”
A. A Scottish. B. Robert Kenneth Wilson.
C. Christian Spurning. D. Nobody.
51. How did the supermarket Safeway get its trouble?
A. It received an e-mail from a dangerous person.
B. Its price would have to increase by 25 percent.
C. Its website got broken into.
D. It lost a lot of shoppers.
52. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Wilson gave the picture to the newspaper as a joke.
B. A dinosaur-like creature lives in the lake Loch Ness.
C. Most people use e-mails as tricks and jokes to trouble the world.
D. Because of the cheating e-mail the store prices are going to increase.

Two fast friends were Willie Brown and his little dog Bounce. Willie could never think of taking a walk without Bounce. Cake and play were equally shared between them. Willie taught his dog many tricks, and often said that Bounce could do almost anything in the world but talk.
There came a time, however, when Bounce really told Willie’s father something, though he could not talk.
It was a bright summer afternoon. Willie had walked with Bounce down to the river, which was not more than two blocks from his father’s store. Willie began to throw stones into the water, and Bounce lay on the grass, watching the flies and catching any that came too near. There were some logs（圆木） in the river near the bank. Willie jumped upon one of them, to see if he could throw a stone across the river. He drew back, and sent the stone with all his might. Just as it left his hand, the log turned, and he fell into the water. He was very much frightened（恐惧）, for he did not know how to swim, and there was no one to hear, though he called as loud as he could for help.
Poor little Bounce gave a great barking of worry. He ran up and down the bank two or three times, barking, looking first at Willie and then around. Then he started as fast as he could run, up the street to the store.
When he got there the door was shut, but he scratched(挠) against it and barked loudly, until someone came and opened it.
He caught hold of Mr. Brown’s clothes then ran to the door, then back again, catching at him, barking, and jumping. Now, Mr. Brown thought of Willie. He thought, “Something must be wrong.” Immediately he followed Bounce to the riverside.
There he saw Willie’s hat circling on the water, and his small arm thrown up. He jumped in and caught him just as he was going down for the last time, and quickly carried him to the bank. Willie soon got over this fright, and no one seemed to be more delighted than Bounce.
53. What could Bounce do?
A. Talk to people.
B. Do different tricks.
C. Play computer games.
D. Catch all kinds of animals.
54. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Willie Brown enjoyed playing with all kinds of animals.
B. Mr. Brown cared more for his store than his son.
C. Bounce could swim so he saved Willie’s life.
D. Animals can be people’s best helpers.
55. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Father and Son
B. Willie and Bounce
C. A Good Way to Teach Your Dog
D. A Hero Who Saved a Boy from the River

According to the US’ Office for National Statistic(统计), women reaching the end of their childbearing years had about 1.9 children each in 2004, compared with 3.1 for those women in 1976. Numbers from the UK’s Office for National Statistics show a similar matter across the Atlantic: the percentage of one-child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.
But even though only children are becoming increasingly common, the stereotype(偏见) that they’re selfish, spoilt(宠坏的) and short of social skills holds strong. Even parents of only children are made to feel guilty about having only one child. Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future, they rush to online trying to get advice. Soon, however, they ask themselves: is this social stereotype really reasonable?
“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their mates,” Susan Newman, a social psychologist(心理学家) at Rutgers University in the US, told ABC News.
A perfect example is Natalie Portman. “I had the only attention of my parents. And you know what? If I had had brothers or sisters I would have never become an actress,” she told Naanoo, an online magazine. “My mother has been with me to every audition(试听) and every acting class. With more children that would have never been possible. They would have been jealous(妒嫉) of me.”
This raises another question: why are only children still get such suspicion(质疑)?
“There is a long-lasting belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous, both for you and for the continuation of your race,” Toni Falbo, a professor of educational psychology at Texas University’s Population Research Center, told The Guardian. “In the past a lot of children died. You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”
Times, of course, have changed and baby’s death has largely disappeared. So what do only children themselves say? Kayley Kravitz, a blogger for The Huffington Post, grew up as an only child and highly praises the experience. “Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all: the ability to be alone,” she said.
56. What does the writer probably think of only children?
A. They are big problems.
B. They usually have more free time.
C. They are almost the same as others.
D. They can learn more social skills from their parents.
57. What does the word " guilty " in paragraph 2 mean probably?
A. Sorry.B. Happy. C. Disappointed.D. Proud.
58. What can we infer from the passage?
A. There were more only children in 2007.
B. Only children have more ability to be alone.
C. People usually have stereotypes on only children.
D. Modern medical technology makes only children more acceptable.
59. The writer mainly wants to tell us that________.
A. only children are social problems we should face directly
B. the parents were worried because of the stereotype
C. only children have more problems than others
D. there are more and more only children

In many countries around the world May 1 is a holiday. Labor Day, or Workers’ Day, is an international holiday that honors working men and women, and the jobs they do.
During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, and earned very little money. In the United States and Canada, working people got together to try to make their workplaces better. These groups of people formed Unions. The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher pays, but many of them dismissed the ideas. On May 1, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight-hour day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fights with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working every May 1 to honor workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May was a national holiday in many countries.
In the United States and Canada, May 1 is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the United States, Labor Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the United States, Labor Day is also the last day of summer vacation and students return to school the next day.
64. Is the Labor Day another name for Workers’ Day?
65. Who formed the first Unions?
66. When did people first stop work for an eight-hour day?
67. How does the North Americans celebrate their Labor Day?
68. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
