And _31_ otherwise assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always _32_ to sit at the back of the classroom.All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didnt have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the _33_ to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “_34_ for it”, I wouldnt have decided to give it a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the _35_ of it! When I first started attending the practice sessions, I didnt even know the rules of the game, much _36_ what I was doing. Sometimes Id get_37_ and take a shot at the wrong directionwhich made me feel really stupid. Fortunately, I wasnt the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to _38_ on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didnt _39_ “just yet”.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the _40_ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive _41_ in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the _42_ friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “_43_” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, _44_ raising my handeven when I sometimes wasnt 100 percent _45_ I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.31. A. asB. untilC. unlessD. though32. A. hopedB. agreedC. meantD. chose33. A. rightB. chanceC. abilityD. patience 34.

Some people actually need it as they cannot do their jobs without it, and others simply feel they need it as they cannot imagine life without it. To think that something that did not even exist 50 years ago has come to play a crucial role in our lives like this in just about 15 years makes one wonder just what will the future bring? It has also become a trend for people to use pocket computers such as Blackberries. With this helpful equipment, people can send and receive emails, surf the Web, and read multimedia files from absolutely anywhere even if we are on a beach holiday. The Internet will have a revolutionary(突破性的)effect on entertainment in the future. Already we can buy and download music and movies from the Internet but it is still possible for us to buy a CD or go to the DVD stores to rent the latest movies. However, its quite possible that in the future, CD shops and DVD rental stores will close and cinemas will no longer exist. Entertainment will become completely virtual although hopefully people will still want to get outside to play sports and entertain themselves in more healthy ways. With the Internet we need only relax in the rocking chair. The Internet, however, has problems to be solved. 46. The expression “play a crucial role in” can be understood as “_”.A. change a dull role into B. play an interesting part in C. act a cruel character in D. have an important effect on47.

Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC (personal computer) if theyre in the MP3 format.What is it?MP3 compresses music into small computer friendly files. You access MP3 music several ways : Music can be downloaded from websites that have converted vast music libraries into MP3. Or you can prerecord CDs into your PC and convert songs in minutes into MP3. Once MP3 music is on your PCs hard drive, you can play it through your computers speakers, “burn” it onto blank CDs or exchange MP3 files with friends using E-mail.How much?Software needed to play and convert MP3 music is often free. It comes preinstalled on most new computers or can be downloaded from many websites, including MP3. com. Some MP3 sites are free. Just type “MP3 sites” into any search engine. The popular MP3 players start at around $50and can hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a dollar.AdvantagesMP3 turns your home PC into a tape recorder. Tiny MP3 players are the size of a card, making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you.DisadvantagesYou may find that music at many sites is limited. And some only allow you to listen rather than download offerings. Others let you download music that then cant be copied to MP3 players.

They might play games, tell stories or watch football on television together. Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people. From Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, the 100-year-old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgiving. But he says it was different when he was a child. Mr. Rosa was just three when his family came to America. “When we were small children, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we actually didnt pay too much attention to it.” But, also, he says, his parents faced a language difficulty. “They were from Italy and spoke very broken English, because they were the first generation that came over here.”And the family had little money. There were six children. Mr. Rosas father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania. The family was not able to have big, costly dinners, especially during the hard time of the 1930s. But Mr. Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children. This Thanksgiving, Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away. He will celebrate the day with loved ones, including his great-grandchildren. On the other side of the country, Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord, California. We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year; her first answer is “The election.” She said she is also deeply grateful for her very large family. Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter. She has five younger brothers and sisters. She also has eight stepbrothers and stepsisters. Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner. 54. At Mr. Rosas childhood, Thanksgiving was not a big holiday for the following reasons EXCEPT _. A. the family couldnt afford expensive dinnersB. the family couldnt communicate well with the local peopleC. the family didnt recognize it as an important holidayD. during the 1930s no one could afford expensive dinners55. From Ms Dahlstroms words, we can infer that _. A. she is content with both her family, relatives and the societyB. she is thankful for her effort in the election and her familyC. she has always been celebrating Thanksgiving this wayD. her daughter has a large family with stepbrothers and stepsisters56. As a whole, Thanksgiving in America is_. A. a happy gathering with family members, relatives and friendsB. a grand family dinner party as well as a tourist holidayC. a great social gathering of entertainment and achievementD. a large gathering of people of differe
