He was severely disabled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.It was difficult to coordinate（协调）our stepshis slow, mine impatientand because of that, we didnt say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”He never talked about himself as an object of sympathy, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still dont know accurately what a “good heart” is. Unable to join in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I plain about small affairs, when I am envious of anothers good fortune, when I dont have a “good heart”.At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”56. The author felt unhappy walking with his father because _. A. he felt sympathy for his fathers physical disability B. it was hard for them to walk at the same pace C. he didnt want others to know he had an ugly father D. it was not easy for his father to keep balance57. In the fathers view, the most important quality a good person should have is _. A. beautiful appearanceB. excellent health C. a smart headD. a good heart58. It can be inferred from the text that _. A. the father was proud of his only son B. the father took part in all his sons activities C. the author was upset when asked to his fathers office D. the author was an outstanding player59. According to the last paragraph, by saying “You set the pace. I will adjust to you.” the author means that _. A. he is now glad to help his father to walk B. he regrets his unwillingness to walk with his father C. he will follow Fathers standards of being a good man D. he will never forget how mentally strong his father wasBAn idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of munity in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to municate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in xx. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has expanded to many other American cities. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.60. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy? A. To invite authors to guide readers. B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in munity service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.61. According to the author, what should New Yorkers do in the project?A. Build a sense of pride.B. Not share a word with others.C. Discuss about a book itself.D. Put all their energy into the choice of the book.62. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large munities with little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.D. In large towns where agreement can be reached.63. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by .A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person readsCAfter successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian life.For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines will ever undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration of all physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.Post-traumatic Stress Disorder（创伤后应急障碍）, or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military battle. Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD.Fullerton College, like most colleges, has its own Veterans（老兵）Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison（联络） for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veteran Affairs website.The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more.64. The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is _.A. to present a successful example of curing PTSDB. to instruct PTSD patients to return to schoolC. to remend a website to veterans and people concernedD. to show veterans steps to readjust to civilian life65. Which of the following is true about Ray Bustos?A. Hes a veteran who has just e back from a military battle.B. He runs Fullerton College with a veteran office.C. Hes in charge of an office dealing with veteran affairs.D. He provides a lot of financial aid for soldiers and marines.66. What might be discussed following the last paragraph?A. ments on PTSD. B. More details about the website.C. A way to enter Fullerton College.D. Happy civilian life of returning soldiers.67. The best title for the passage is _A. PTSD: Killer of A Civilian LifeB. Ready for a Civilian Life?C. How to Overe PTSD D. The Last Assignment For All Military PersonsDWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked. Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already got other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in munications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.68. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?A. To express his doubts.B. To pare different ideas.C. To introduce points for discussion.D. To describe the conditions on Earth.69. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so.B. Humans have the tendency to fight.C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place.70. The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 refers to_.A. survival chances B. unexpected benefitsC. immediate needD. physical possessions 71. Which of the statements can best conclude the passage?A. Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provides the best value for money.C. Space exploration can benefit knowledge and techniques.D. Space exploration may help us survive on Earth. EI once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global panies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that ra
