My name is Matthew. I'm not someone who has many secrets, because I'm a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years—I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story.
But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.
One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced—but still, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.
Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn't make a true man.
56. What can we learn about Matthew
A. He was a slow learner of driving. B. He relied heavily on his parents.
C. He was afraid of taking exams. D. He was bored with telling lies.
57. Why did the instructor ask Matthew to pull over
A. To put an end to his test. B. To check his parking skills.
C. To give him a second chance. D. To show him a better way of driving.
58. What made Matthew feel extremely worried after his first attempt
A. Failing to get a driving license. B. Missing his birthday celebration.
C. Making his parents disappointed. D. Losing face before his classmates.
59. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Matthew has many secrets.
B. Matthew didn't want to take the test on his birthday.
C. Matthew kept the secret until he went to college.
D. Matthew' friends all passed the driving test for the first time.
60. What did Matthew learn from his own experience
A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Failure is a way to grow up.
C. Truth stands the test of time. D. Imperfection is another form of perfection.

Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property loss because of home fires at about $7.3 billion. Every day Americans experience the horror of fires, but most people don't understand fires.
To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires.
In less than 30 seconds a small flame（火焰）can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be in flames. Most deadly fires happen in the home when people are asleep. If you realize a fire, you won't have time to take valuables because the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick. The fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and poisonous gases can make you tired and sleepy, and short of breath. The smoke can cause you to be a deep sleeper before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape.
Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to 600 degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-hot air will burn your lungs. It can melt（熔化）clothes to your skin. In five minutes, a room can get so hot that everything in it starts to burn at once.
Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go in and unable to find your way around the home you've lived in for years. Only when we know the true nature of fires can we prepare our families and ourselves.
61. How does the first paragraph develop
A. By raising questions. B. By listing reasons.
C. By expressing opinions. D. By giving examples.
62. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. It is necessary to escape in time. B. It is important to find poisonous gases.
C. It is impossible to keep away from smoke. D. It is dangerous to stay away from the door.
63. How does black smoke trouble us
A. Causing us to feel hopeless. B. Making our faces turn black.
C. Getting us to lose our ways. D. Forcing us to walk around the home.
64. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Different processes of home fires. B. Some basic knowledge of home fires.
C. Great damage of home fires in the USA. D. Some good ways to prevent home fires.
65. Where can you find this article
A. In a city guidebook. B. In a storybook.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a dictionary.

阅读下面短文, 并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
US student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school. Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of.
Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she's considered among the best in Los Angele. When she's on stage, audience often go silent. They also laugh, shout, and cry. But that doesn't come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America.
When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and for being different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”. “How do I defend myself ” Tahay thought. "I don't know how." "Keep going," her mother would tell her. "At some point, you'll learn."
She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDS: English without barriers. Tahay's older brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club.
The first time Tahay read the poems in the club nervously. "I wish I could write like that," she thought. "I wanna say something."
She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. "I had so much held in," Tahay said. "I couldn't even finish it."
But she kept at it despite her less—than—perfect grammar, spelling and pronunciation. Still, she wouldn't tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they'd make fun of her.
But with time, her poems changed her. "They gave me pride," Tahay said. "They told me I'm worth something."
"She had this innocence," her English teacher Kurnick said. "This willingness to be genuine and to show you things you don't ever see.”
