Now with my last _36_ in middle school, I thought, why not try to _37_ something while I still had the opportunity. When I told my husband Bob my idea, a broad smile lit up his face. “If thats what you _38_, well make it work.” When we asked the kids for advice, they had mixed _39_. Our daughter, already in college, thought it a great idea while John, in high school, was _40_ that we might be in college at the same time. James, our youngest, wanted to know who would take him to football practice. I _41_ that things would be a little different, _42_ if everyone contributed, it wouldnt be difficult. The next day we drove to the community college and after a careful research, I chose to _43_ in occupational therapy (康复理疗) .Days passed in excitement, enrolling（register） in classes, shopping for _44_ and attending orientation(入学指导). I felt like a kid again, but as the first day of classes drew near, I became _45_. I was simply too old. People would laugh at me. Finally, with encouragement from my family and friends, I stuck with my _46_.As I entered my classroom that first morning, I chose a seat in the back, hoping to _47_ attention. For the rest of that day, I did what I saw the other students do, and gradually, my self-consciousness（embarrassment deriving from the feeling that others are critically aware of you） faded. I found the classes and assignments _48_, and I left that day feeling I might survive. By the end of the first week, I had made a few friends.Studying and keeping up with my duties at home was _49_. No sooner would I begin to study than it was time to drive the kids to their activities. Math and science were _50_ my strong subjects, so I devoted more time to those. When the first semester _51_, I had a 4.0 GPA and was placed on the Honor Roll. By the second year, Bob and the kids were all doing their _52_, and I had learned how to comfortably _53_ my school and home life. My hard work paid off. I was awarded a scholarship and got the bachelors degree.As I drove away on the last day of school, I thought about what a difference returning to _54_ had made in my life.

My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year.（56题） Through my stay in Montreal, I met lots of Chinese who are struggling to succeed and then lead a better life in Canada.（59题） Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada.（57题） But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while switching between English and French. Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They miss their families and friends. Though Montreal has lots of Chinese restaurants, they long for a home-cooked meal. I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didnt regret taking the trip. Not all the Chinese people I met were happy. I once met a young lady who met with a gentleman through the Internet. However, to her disappointment, he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal. I was served by another Chinese person who could not handle the challenges of studying in an English environment and ended up working in a restaurant with minimum pay.Exploring different parts of the world, without any doubt, is an enriching experience. However, one should be realistic when it comes to leaving his hometown to set up a new life in a foreign country. One should take the time to examine the advantages and the shortcomings of the venture before they decide to chase an uncertain dream of achieving success or leading a better life.（58题） 56.

Going to CanadaYour Ideal Destination BHave you ever lost your car on a parking lot? You dont have a clue where your car is after shopping. Then you start walking around clicking on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be annoying, especially on a hot sunny day.No, you neednt install(安装) an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. Thats too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly fee to use it.

What else can I do with TrackR?The device is small and unnoticeable enough that you can attach it to your pet.

Based on their analysis of the fossils, the researchers determined that they are 220 million years older than those discovered in Western Australia, which were 3.48 billion years old.（66题）The discovery shows life may have formed quicker and more easily than once thought, about half a billion years after Earth formed. And that may also give hope for life forming elsewhere, such as Mars, said study co-author Martin VanKranendonk of the University of New South Wales and director of the Australian Center for Astrobiology. “It gives us an idea how our planet evolved and how life gained a foothold,” VanKranendonk said.（63题）Scientists had thought it would take at least half a billion years for life to form after the molten Earth started to cool a bit, but this shows it could have happened quicker, he said. Thats because the newly found fossil is far too complex to have developed soon after the planets first life forms, he said.（64题）In an outcrop of rocks that used to be covered with ice and snow which melted after an exceptionally warm spring, the Australian team found stromatolites(叠层石), which are layered structures that are often produced by a community of microbes. The stromatolites were about 1 to 4 centimeters high.“It is like the house left behind made by the microbes,” VanKranendonk said. “Scientists used the layers of ash from volcanoes and tiny zircon(锆石) with uranium and estimated that they date back to 3.7 billion years ago.” The dating seems about right, said Abigail Allwood, a NASA astrobiologist who found the previous oldest fossil, from 3.48 billion years ago, in Australia. But Allwood said she is not completely convinced that what VanKranendonks team found once was alive. She said the evidence wasnt conclusive enough that it was life and not a geologic quirk(地质巧合).（65题） “It would be nice to have more evidence, but in these rocks thats a lot to ask,” Allwood said in an email.63. The underlined words “gained a foothold” in Paragraph 3 mean_. A. continued B. changed C. increased D. started64. We can learn from Paragraph 4_. A. the fossil appeared soon after the birth of the earth B. the fossil formed soon after the earths first lifeC. life formed earlier than the newly found fossil D. life appeared about half a billion years ago 65. What is Abigail Allwoods attitude towards the newly found fossil? A. Neutral. B. Sceptical. C. Objective. D. Supportive. 66. According to the passage, _.A. the previous fossils are a geologic quirk B. the previous fossils are made up of stromatolitesC. the newly found fossils come from Western AustraliaD. the newly found fossils have a history of 3.7 billion yearsDWhen Taking an UberShould You Tip or Not?Taking an Uber car may no longer be a direct driver-passenger and guilt-free experience. The ride-sharing experience is about to get awkward.With the wide application of the Internet, Uber, a new approach to your destination instead of taking an ordinary taxi, has become more popular recently. However, benefits wont come without its fair share of drawbacks.Uber drivers are a part of the so-called sharing economy: They use their own vehicles, receive customer reviews via the apps five-star rating system and make their own hours.（67题） Unlike other services, Uber claimed that drivers all over the country could clearly alert customers that tipping is not included. Those drivers that expect to be tipped can make their wishes known. But the company is holding to its official no-tip-required line, according to its website. “Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on fileTheres no need to tip.” Although drivers value their independencethe freedom to push a button rather than punch a clock,（67题） lack of a clear policy, however, leaves Uber drivers in a vulnerable(脆弱的) position: If they ask a customer for a tip or put up a sign, that customer could give the driver a low star-rating, and the driver could finally be deactivated from the app.（68题）But has the company done a good job working with customers? Some observers say that this new grey area for tipping will create awkwardness about whether they should tip or notsomething most Uber customers have not had to deal with until now.（70题） Uber did not respond to customers comment, just leaving their rating in the air（ignoring it）.Providing an option to tip on an app sends a clear message to customers to reach into their pockets. Nearly 30% people would be more likely to leave a tip if they were presented with a “no tip” button,（69题） according to Guinns 2015 survey of ro
