Inspired by exciting dreams for the possibilities of womanhood, she asked her daughter what she wanted to be when she grew up. Little Lisa quickly answered, “A nurse.”There was a time when nursing was thought of as a womans job and the answer somehow seemed not to be satisfied. She had, after all, just returned from a new meeting. “You can be anything you want to be,” she re-minded her daughter. “You can be a lawyer, a doctor, a banker, president of the country you can be any-thing.”“Anything?” Lisa asked. “Anything!” her mother smiled. “I know,” Lisa said. “I want to be a horse!”Lisas dream may need some improvement, but there is plenty of time for that. When do we give up dreaming about the future? When do we resign (听任) ourselves to simply replaying dreams from the past? Maybe her dream needs to mature (成熟) a bit, but would you rather have the optimism (乐观) of a five-year-old girl who wants to be a horse, or the pessimism (悲观) of an adult who says in despair, “I cant be anything at all”？Teddy Roosevelt said, “Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.” I believe that is the way to make those dreams come true. It begins with looking up and dreaming of something beautiful.56. What did the girl really want to be when she grew up?A. A nurse. B. A horse. C. A banker. D. A lawyer.57. How did the mother feel when hearing her daughters first answer?A. Satisfied. B. Puzzled. C. Disappointed. D. Excited.58. The lesson we can learn from the passage is that we should _.A. stop children dreaming of something strangeB. advise parents how to educate childrenC. encourage adults to learn from childrenD. help children to set up a big goal59. The true meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is “_”.A. Stand on the ground and watch the starsB. Have a big dream and work hardC. Protect your eyesight while workingD. Find a good way to watch the starsB When it comes to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no doctor has ever heard: “Will my baby be able to learn my language?” Be honest. Do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is: “no”.New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who would have been able to understand a sentence like this: “Click here to download your digital book”? Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it. Sometimes, you have the word on the tip of your tongue . and it sticks there! But you do know this phenomenon (现象) and dont think that it is because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You cant avoid (避开) some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon memotechnics (记忆术). The first words seem very easy to learn; so, you buy the course; but then you discover quickly, though too late, that a dozen words later, it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it.60. From the first paragraph, we know that _.A. there is no need to know all the words of a for-eign languageB. it is honest to answer “no” to a question you dont knowC. a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongueD. people find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language61. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. you have no courage to speak the wordB. you just fail to remember the wordC. you are not sure of the wordD. you darent open your mouth to speak the word 62. To learn a foreign language, the author advises you _.A. to remember new words according to memo-technicsB. to keep up with new ways of using old wordsC. to learn at least 2,000 necessary wordsD. to pay more attention to your bad memory63. The passage is mainly about _.A. using old words in a new wayB. learning new words from the context C. finding a method to memorize vocabularyD. learning vocabulary of a foreign languageC When greeting someone, an Americans first instinct (本能) is to stick out his or her hand, look directly at the other person, and smile. In some situations, this habit can mean making three mistakes at once. And the moment of greeting is when important first impressions are made. Methods and styles of greeting vary greatly around the world, and you need to know which practices apply in different conditions. A handshake is not the universally good greeting. Also, “Look them right in the eye” is not always the best advice. When greeting Asians for the first time, do not start the handshake. You may be forcing a physical contact that the other person finds uncomfortable. Many Asians, particularly Japanese, have learned to accept the handshake when dealing with Westerners. Because the bow (鞠躬) is the usual greeting in Japan, a slight bow of the head when responding to a handshake is suitable. Middle Easterners, particularly Muslims, avoid body contact with the opposite sex, but persons of the same sex commonly hug when greeting each other. When shaking hands, men should be careful not to pull their hand away too quickly. People from France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal greet friends by kissing on both cheeks. The smile is the universal gesture of friendliness, and in America its meaning is usually clear. The person smiling is happy, or sending out a friendly signal. In other cultures the smile may be sending other signals. In some Latin cultures, for example, the smile may be used to say “Excuse me” or “Please”. If a person from another culture does not return your greeting smile, it doesnt show bad manners. In some Asian cultures, smiling is a gesture for informal occasions, and smiling while being formally introduced would be considered disrespectful. In many cultures, avoiding eye contact is a sign of respect, but such behavior can lead to misunderstandings. For example, some Asian students have been regarded as disrespecting their American teachers because they do not look at the teacher while he or she is speaking. 64. This passage mainly talks about _.A. the importance of the first impressionB. body language in different culturesC. practices of greeting in businessD. greetings in different cultures65. When two Middle East men meet, they will greet each other by _.A. shaking their hands quickly B. hugging each otherC. kissing on both cheeks D. lowering their heads slightly66. In America, the gesture “smile” is used to say “_”. A. Im gladB. Excuse meC. Please D. Sorry67. If you avoid eye contact in America, you may be considered _.A. cold B. foolish C. impolite D. shyD Where can you go to listen to a cook, a senator (参议员) or a scientist talk about important subjects?
