She was very pretty. “This must belong to my mother,” I thought. We were having a class about family trees and thought grandmothers photo would be perfect for the lesson. Anyway, I took it to school and showed my friends. When it went missing later, I thought one of them must have taken it. But when I asked my friends, all of them said, “Dont be silly. Why should I take your photo?” Later, when I got home from school, I told my mother about the photo. She was very sad and cried. I realized it must be the only picture she had of her mother. I felt terrible. I still do.Passage Two Everyone always said my grandfather must be very rich. They were always trying to guess where he kept his money because he always said his money would be lost if he put it in banks. But no one ever found it. After he died, his relatives got the many different things that belonged to him. When they asked me what I wanted, I asked if I could have his books. My other relatives laughed and said I must be crazy why would anyone want old books? Later, I found Grandfathers money inside his books!56. The writer took the photograph to class because_. A. it was a nice picture B. the mother in the picture was very pretty C. it was used to talk about family trees D. the writer missed her grandmother57. In Passage Two, the writers grandfather was a person who_. A. didnt like banks B. put some of his money in banksC. gave some of his money to his relatives D. gave his money to his grandson58.

During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them a book.Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. We must start using less paper now. If we dont, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕）and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse (再用) it later.59. What did Marco Polo do when he was in China? A. He discovered Cai Lun invented paper. B. He learned to make paper. C. He saw many wonderful things. D. He read a lot of books.60. When did people in western countries first use paper money？A. In the 17th century.B. In the 15th century.C. In the 13th century.D. In the 7th century.61. Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper? A. To use both sides of every piece of paper. B. To use the paper bags from shops more than once. C. To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones. D. To plant more trees.（3）A life coach (人生导师) is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals (目标). Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here are some tips for you: Pay attention to your relationships with others.Ask yourself the following questions: What do you do with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are. Face the fears about the future.Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves.
