She suffered a lot with her three children, two of whom were babies. She was forced to leave her husband because he didnt care about the family. At one point she suffered a nervous breakdown due to his cruel and uncaring behavior. She took her children with her and decided to leave their home, but didnt know her destination. This all took place in a small town in Kansas, called Frontenac. She had very little gas in the tank and no money at all and she didnt even manage to make it out of Frontenac. As she used up the gas she got into a panic(惊慌). She then went to a house, not knowing the owner. She put her pride in her pocket and went to the door. After she explained her situation to an old lady who answered the door, the lady asked her husband to help Jan carry the children into the house. These kind people allowed her to stay for two weeks until she received some money in the mail from a relative. They fed and cared for Jan and her children. This is one of the most exciting acts of kindness I have ever e across in my fifty years. These angels were named Henry and Sarah and they would always be warmly remembered by me for what they did for Jan and her children. 56. What is the passage mainly about? A.

In fact, hes one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume(简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. Im sure you would hate to lose him.Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment, and said you run a great paper. He said it would be easy for you to keep him. He appreciates the responsibility youve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much of him.

Thats what you want for him, too, isnt it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artistseveryoneis to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential(潜能).

The letter aims to remind editors that they should _.A. keep their best reporters at all costsB. give more freedom to their reportersC. be aware of their reporters professional developmentD. appreciate their reporters working styles and attitudesCSome people are pessimistic(悲观的) when they think about the future. They say that a hundred years from now, we will have used most of the earths resources. We will have polluted our seas badly, and be unable to eat fish from them. We will have made the air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The worlds population will have doubled, and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.Other people believe that Man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. How, in their views, will people be living in a hundred years time?One architect believes that Man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge, pyramid-shaped building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5,000 families will be living there, and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes. By living on the sea, we will give the farmers more land to grow crops.As for oil, people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals, because there are plenty under our oceans. At the moment, we do not have the technology to get them out. But, in a hundred years time, the optimists say, the new sea cities will be using these resources.What will be in the shops in the year 3000? What will people be wearing? How will people be traveling?Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that, by the year 3000, shops will no longer exist. puters will have replaced them, and people will order goods from home.People will be wearing very light, thin clothes. By this time, scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.As for travel, the experts say that most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. Anybody will be able to stop one and use it. An interesting picture. Unfortunately, we will not be there to see if these predictions e true.63. Pessimists believe that in the future _ . A. the seas and oceans will be full of housesB. well have used up all the resourcesC. we will not have enough fish to eat from the seasD. well have polluted the air so badly that itll be impossible for us to breathe without masks.64.
