A
“Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”
“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分别) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (问候) me in the same way.
56. How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank? .
A. He was told that Frank was in the hospital
B. He was invited to study Frank’s illness
C. Frank greeted him in a special way
D. Frank’s name was written on the door
57.When and where did Dr. P first meet Frank? .
A. At the R Hospital about ten days before
B. In an air-raid shelter during the war
C. In Mrs. West’s house in 1941
D. In London after the West’s’ house was destroyed
58. The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were .
A. those who suffered from illness
B. those who were killed during the war
C. those who slept in the air-raid shelter
D. those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids
59. Dr. P placed his foot against Fran’s before he left the shelter .
A. to find out if Frank could put on his shoes
B. to be friendly towards Frank
C. to see if Frank’s feet were normal
D. to teach Frank to greet people in a special way
60. Why did Dr P say that Mrs West had to be a strong, able woman? .
A. She was over 75
B. She needed all the attention of a baby
C. She had to give care and thought to her son as to a baby
D. She lost nearly everything in the war
B
Body language is a very powerful tool of a communication, not only between people but in the animal world as well.
In many instances, we produce idioms, which are all understandable by borrowing examples from animal communication.
For example, we know that a frightened cat will arch (拱型). From this starting-point we might hear the expression. “He gets my back up!” meaning “He makes me angry.”
In the same manner, we know that many animals, if challenged(挑战) by attackers, will not turn and run away because this will encourage the attackers to attack them more forcefully. Instead, they will move backwards slowly to get out of harm’s way, always facing their attacker. We call this action “backing off” and it can be used as well with humans as with animals.
In the case of humans, however, the back-off may not be physical but oral, as in using a kinder tone of voice and gentle words instead of fighting against the attackers.
61. When a cat arches its back high in a rigid curve, it shows that it is .
A. angry B. pleased
C. frightened D. defeated

D. Either A or C
63. In the article “back off” means .
A. to escape from the attackers
B. to get away quickly
C. to keep out the attackers

64. Which of the following is wrong according to the article?
A. To learn knowledge, humans must learn from animals.
B. Both humans and animals have the body language.
C. Both humans and animals have ways of getting out of harm.
D. “Face your attackers” means to encourage yourself.
65. What is mentioned (提到) in this article belongs to study of English .
A. grammar B. idioms
C. expression D. communication
C
Many American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families. They spent their childhood in little wooden rooms. They got little education (教育). Washington and Lincoln, for example, never went to school and they taught themselves. Lincoln once did jobs of a worker, shopkeeper and post officer in his early years.
A large number of U. S. presidents had experiences (经历) in the army. The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Grant was a general (将军) in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was a hero in the Second World War. It happened that they graduated (毕业) from the same school—West Point Military Academy (西点军校). One may be surprised to learn that both of them did not do well in the school. Eisenhower, for example, was once fined (罚款) because he broke the rules of the school.
The jobs of U. S. presidents are tiring. He must keep an eye on anything important which happens both at home and abroad. Every day, a lot of work waits for him to do, and he has to make many important decisions. When Franklin Roosevelt was a child, he was once brought to visit President Taft.

Charlton Heston, the Hollywood actor who has played such roles as Ben Hur and Moses, was once asked if it was destiny that got him where he is today.
Heston replied that destiny should be discounted. To him, his success was due to knowing what he wanted, having a bit of luck and working hard.
He summed up his attitudes to life and achievements: “Never give up! Never give up!”
In every important aspect of our life, never giving up is the right approach. Never give up believing in yourself and what you can do for yourself and other. Never give up trying to make your career a success. Never give up trying to learn useful things you have always dreamed about.
Never give up making marriage a success. Never give up on your slow learning or disabled children. Never give up trying to spend quality time with your family and friends.
Never give up when you are trying to change your character for the better but are constantly temped to go back to your old bad ways. Never give up when you are chasing a piece of business.
Imagine yourself setting on a vacation journey that would take you probably half a day’s ride. This is the holiday that you and your family members have been looking forward to.
On this journey, certain things might happen that might discourage you from sticking to your plans. There could be massive traffic jams. Your bicycle or car might have a punctured tyre. The weather might change and become too hot or too wet.
Imagine another situation. If you and your family are in a boat and an accident happens, would you give up staying afloat, one way or other, until help comes?
You may ask whether it is realistic to never give up your goals. Well, you can give up a piece of your plan but not your goat if you are sure that your goal is important and right.

One possible version,
A Ten-Minute Break
As students, we have classes from early morning till late afternoon. Therefore, to take a ten-minute break between classes is very necessary. Otherwise we may feel tired.
During the ten-minute break we do something to get ride of tiredness. What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more tired. So don’t do anything that will make you too excited.
My ten-minute break is always pleasing. I usually do some simple exercises. Sometimes I have a free chat with any classmates or just take a walk during the break. When the new class begins, I feel fresh again.
