We couldn’t have enough time to 40 together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me 41 to talk with my father as well.

Only there at the top, you 47 see all of the nice things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was 48 young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new courage. I found 49 standing at the top of the sky, which was as 50 as crystal (水晶).

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand. “And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman. “My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.

“An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one,” wrote a famous British author, George Mikes. While this sounds funny, it’s a popular English stereotype (刻板印象). From the supermarket to the subway, queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain.
Here in China, queues are normal, too. It is a part of everyday life. People queue most of the time, from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant. But in certain situations, you’ll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd, such as getting onto the subway. Even away from the busy subway platform, queues are different.
One day I was standing in line at the supermarket. I left a small space in front of me. Within seconds, a girl walked by and took her place in that small space. I was surprised at first, but later I found these experiences very interesting. It is with these small, everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture.
Back in Britain, the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue, according to the auction site MadBid. To pass the time, maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb: Good things come to those who wait.
59. From the passage, we know that the English are famous for .
A. being rude and loud B. traveling on subways
C. forming an orderly queue D. standing in line at the supermarket
60. How did the writer feel when the girl jumped the queue?
A. From annoyed to calm. B. From calm to angry.
C. From surprised to interested. D. From shocked to angry.
61. The passage is mainly about .
A. comparing queuing in two cultures
B. praising the English for good manners
C. calling on people in China to queue more
D. explaining why people rush in some situations
62. Where would you most probably read this passage?
A. Novel. B. Poster. C. Newspaper. D. Science magazine.
D
Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it’s a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区) is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover differences.
Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don’t just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That’s how we live an exciting life.
( )63. From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who __________.
A. is like themselves B. has a sense of humor
C. is open-minded D. lives an exciting life
( )64. People like staying in their comfort zone because they may __________.
A. remain comfortable and special B. be accepted easily and feel safe
C. find out more interesting things D. discover differences among themselves
( )65. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.
B. To introduce ways to learn about the world.
C. To explain how people communicate with others.
D. To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.
