But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man got it.The book wasnt very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum（羊皮纸）on which was written the secret of the Touchstone.The touchstone was a small pebble（鹅卵石）that could turn any common metal into pure gold.The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this; The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Coldthrow it into sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into months and the months into years.One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.So it is with opportunity（机会）. Unless we are vigilant, its easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and its just as easy to throw it away.36 . According to the passage, the touchstone is a stone _.Athat you can touchBthat can turn common metal into pure goldCthat can bring you thousands of pebblesDthat can bring you good luck37 .

Community colleges are two-year schools that thrived (兴盛) in California after the end of World War II. Many American military personnel （军人）were returning to civilian life after their service to the country. Some of these young people decided not to go to college after high school so that they could serve their country during that time of need. When they returned, many of them turned to the community college system in California to continue their education.The United States government introduced the G. 1. Bill at that time giving returning service men and women educational benefits to help them get back to school. Soon community colleges and new school districts began appearing throughout the country. Community colleges helped military personnel go back into college life easily. It was a low cost, less stressful than going back to a four-year university.Today, community colleges attract students from all parts of the world. In California, a large population of students comes from Asia and Latin America. These schools provide a second chance to international students who may have experienced difficulties attending college in their native countries. American students who may have not done well academically in high school, and did not enter a university, can turn to community college for a second chance, too.Community colleges provide a much-needed resource for all these students. Former military personnel, international students, and high school students alike, are all welcome. One of the best things about community colleges is that they accept anyone at any time. This means people who have not found what they want to do in life can try more than one area of study. If they dont like one course of study, they can always try something else. That is the beauty of community colleges.78 . When did the American community colleges thrive in California?79 . Why didnt the American military personnel go to college right after high school?80 . Which is cheaper, going to a community college or a four-year university?81 . Where does the large population of students in California community colleges come from?82 .
