I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights with us.

The class was nearly over. She said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you an important thought.”

“Each of us is put here on Earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves. We must make the most out of every single day.”

Her eyes began to water and she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see—It could be a good smell or the sound of the gentle wind.”

“Please look for these things, and cherish them. They are what is in life. We must pay attention to noticing them, for at any time it can all be taken away.”

Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we don’t notice.

Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. Walk along the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we didn’t do.

55. In the author’s eyes, the high school teacher was ________.

A．special

The eagle has the longest life of its group. It can reach up to 70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard and painful decision. When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak becomes bent (弯曲的). Its long and once flexible (灵活的) talons can no longer catch animals or birds for food. And its old and heavy wings with thick feathers on its body make it difficult to fly. Then, the eagle has only tow choices: to die or to go through a painful time of change which needs five months.

When the eagle feels weak and is about to die, it goes to a place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest. For a new life, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out. After pulling it out, the eagle waits for a new beak to grow. And then it pulls out its talons and old feathers. It takes the eagle five months to complete its change and get a new life. We can call it its rebirth. So it can live for 30 more years.

Like the eagle, we human beings sometimes need to make some changes to get out of our difficulty. In miserable condition, we have to change our ways of life. The changing may be very painful. But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits, memories and traditions. We can’t go on with all our past burdens (重负).

59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak is still straight.

B．For a new life, the eagle knocks its talons against a rock.

C．If the eagle doesn’t change itself, it will have a new life.

D．The writer’s idea is that we can’t go on with all our past burdens.

60. The underlined word “miserable” here probably means “     ”.

A．terrible

B．good

C．lonely

D．lucky

61. The best title for the passage can be “       ”.

A．The death of the eagle

B．The living period of the eagle

C．A good and easy decision

D．Rebirth of the eagle

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the “Happy Birthday” song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.

In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.

For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.

In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.

Eighteen is the traditional “coming of age”—the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote (选举), join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.

In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

62. Which of the following birthday traditions can be found almost anywhere, anytime?

A．Putting many things on the floor.

B．Wearing a new kimono.

C．Sending birthday cards.

63. The ________ usually organize a party at children’s special birthday celebration in Japan.

65. In many countries you can ________ when you reach the age of eighteen.

A．join the army

66. Which is the best title of this passage?

A．Birthday Traditions around the World

Is it difficult for you to remember things? I`d like to tell you some ways to improve your memory, so you shouldn`t feel upset.
My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it regularly(有规律地). You might review the material two days after you learn it, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. After a month you will find that you can easily remember the material.
My second advice is to use a colored pen to highlight （标注）the important parts on your book. This will help you in two days. First, it will help you pay attention to the most important parts when you learn the language. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Second, this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important things quickly. In this way, you don`t have to review all the material again.
Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well. First, review all the information in your mind right before you go to sleep. Your brain is working while you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep, you might be able to remember it better. Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear. So you might also try to review the important information in the morning.
71. How long may it take you to remember the material easily if you review it regularly?

72. Is it easier to use a colored pen to help remember the key points?
