At the end I said. “Son, remember: Slow and steady (稳固的) wins the race. Dont you think theres something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when Im participating in the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didnt wish that the hare would fall asleep on the way!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said. “Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didnt have such a wish,” I insisted, “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “Thats a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadnt happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but hed never have won the race. Thats for sure.”I gave up. Todays children are not like what we used to be. Theyre just hopeless.56.

Always look where you want to go.Bob ErnstI grew up poor living in a family with six brothers，three sisters，my father and a wonderful mother Scarlatti Huntley. We had little money and few valuable things except plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream.My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen，I could beat a baseball to the batter(击球员)and throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball. Luckily, my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but taught me how to believe in myself. One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.It was the summer between my junior and senior years. A friend remended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocketmoney for books，films，a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The chance was attractive and I wanted to take the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to deal with the work plan，and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldnt be playing. I was worried about this，but encouraged myself with the advice my mother often gave her children, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I had expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your playing days are limited. You cant afford to waste them.”I stood before him，trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me.“How much are you going to make at this job，son?” he asked. “Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied. “Well.” he asked，”is $3.25 an hour the price of your dream?”That question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a dream. I devoted myself to sports that summer. And within the year I was chosen by the Pittsburgh and offered $ 20,000. I had a baseball scholarship(奖学金)to the University of Arizona，which led me to higher education. Then I was on the Denver Broncos in 1984 for$1.7 million，and bought my mother the house of my dream.59.

DOne of Britains bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to 30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide hunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to walk silently into Biebers bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who came at 3 pm the day before New Years Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didnt seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact .” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?. My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the mans room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to e out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have e out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐).”68. The underlined phrase “be in line for” (paragraph 1) means_.A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own69. Vickis heart missed a beat because _.A. the phone went again B. she would be famousC. the policemen had already arrived D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park70. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in _.A. the passage B. the mans room C. Vickis bedroom D. the top floor room71. The whole event probably lasted about _ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.A. 6 B. 8 C. 11 D. 14EWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart ch
