Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ALooking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, I came across an article with the title “My top five most precious possessions”. It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.Its interesting how inanimate(无生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven(编织)into a persons, and sometimes a whole familys, life history.Anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are. It was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine: An old cardboard box filled with my childrens baby photos.A yellow pocket-sized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and trees, etc) given to me by my dad when I was probably about seven or eight years old. A 21st birthday card from my mum. In it shes written her congratulations, her love, and her hopes for my future. She died not long after, when I was in my early twenties.A few ancient but very beautiful botany books that were once my great grandmothers. She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman. Id like to have known her.A brooch(胸针) left to me by my much­loved grandmother. It was given to my great grandmother by my great grandfather on his return from World War I. It is not worth anything in terms of money. However, it not only stands for a link between four generations of women, but it is also a reminder of one young mans return from World War I.How about you? Id love to hear what you feel are your most precious possessions.56.What made the writer have the idea of writing the passage?A. Her love for her relatives. B. Her rich imagination about the objects.C. An article in a magazine. D. Some pictures in an article.57. According to the passage, the writer _.A. lost her mother at the age of 26 B. was a mother of several childrenC. got the yellow birthday book at 8 D. studied botany well when she was young58. The writer considered her grandmother remarkable and interesting because she _.A. wrote a large number of botany booksB. left the writer some ancient but beautiful botany booksC. was unusually famous for her achievementsD. could become a botanist in the special time59. How many reasons made the writer think the brooch was one of her most precious possessions?A. one B. two C. three D. four60.In the writers opinion, something that is thought to be the most precious should be able to_.A. represent a persons and even the whole familys life history B. have a great effect on others livesC. remind somebody of his or her friends D. show a persons love and respect for his or her relativesBWhen my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better? The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friends opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is confined to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a childs life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school. The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive. Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit.
