(A)
Who can help you Maybe you think your parents, teachers or others can help you. But in fact, all these people only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. They had few people to help them. They could not get good education, either. But they tried their best to learn and never gave up. One famous teacher in England once told his students, “I cannot make you great men, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
However, some young people do nothing and they depend on others. If these young people can see their weak points(弱点) and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing in the future, unless they take the advice of their parents and teachers, and most importantly, depend on themselves.

(B)
Some people have a very poor sense of directions. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I didn't dare to ask strangers the way. So I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.
36. The writer always refuses to give people directions because ________.
A. she is a stranger to the city
B. she is quiet
C. she doesn't know the people
D. she's afraid of giving wrong directions
37. A man stopped the writer on the way to ________.
A. sell her something B. ask her the time
C. ask for the direction D. give her some money

A. The writer is too shy to give others directions.
B. The writer has a very poor sense of directions.
C. The writer never got lost when she was young.
D. The writer isn't friendly.
(C)
There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or a television set. Both of them have become a necessary part of our daily life, keeping us filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many fields of interest, and making us happy with singing, dancing and acting.
Marconi, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn't know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come. The radio had perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happen. Travelers in or out-of-the-way places, ships at sea and even astronauts round the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio.
The television is another important invention. It lets us see and hear the actor. Since its appearance, TV has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere. Many programs are now televised in color.
Perhaps the most modern invention is “Telstar”, a “star” moving around the earth. It makes it possible for people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now a family in Chicago can watch on TV a motorcar race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening!
41. The passage tells us that ________ in the U. S. A. have no radio or television set.
A. a large number of families B. all the families
C. a small number of families D. quite a few families
42. Why does the passage say the radio and the TV have become a necessary part of our daily life
A. Because they have touched nearly everything in our life.
B. Because men would not live happily without them.
C. Because they are the only ways to spread information.
D. Because no communication means no life.
43. What is the use of a “Telstar” according to the passage
A. To receive and store information only.
B. To move around the earth just like the moon.
C. To give light onto the earth at night.
D. To help send out radio or TV information to the world.
44. Who do you think the writer of the passage is
A. An Italian. B. A Japanese.
C. An American. D. A Chinese.
45. When the writer introduces Marconi in the second paragraph, he means ________.
A. he was just an Italian inventor
B. his invention has done much for the world
C. he had reported much to people all over the world
D. he helped people travel a lot around the world
