One was older, in his 50s, about Dads age. The others were his son and daughter-in-law. It had clearly been a long, hot day for them. To add to this, Heidi realized that they had discovered that the battery had been stolen from their car. They lived in Avondale, which was 25 to 35 miles away.Heidi went to see if she could help them or get them some help. She had the impression that they didnt have anyone else they could call. It seemed as if there was nothing she could do, so she got back into her car and started for home.On the way, she couldnt stop thinking how terrible it must be for these folks who were essentially stranded. So she went into Pep Boys, an auto supply store. She called over one of the clerks and asked how much a battery for a Toyota Celica cost.The clerk asked: “What year?” Heidi replied: “Does it matter?” To which he replied that the year of the car mattered because the battery needed to fit the mounting(装备). So she guessed 1980-thinking, if its within a year or two, the battery wont be that different. She paid about40 for the battery, and because she didnt have another to trade in, there was an additional environmental fee of10.She took it to the folks who were, of course, still there. She told them that she just couldnt go home knowing that they had no way home. They were so surprised. Anyone would have been. The older gentleman told her that he had prayed for help. I guess Heidi was the answer to that prayer, he said.Heidi had spent her whole days earnings on the battery. When she told me her story, I asked:“Was it worth the days work?” You know what she said, dont you? “Oh, yes.”51. The underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 3 probably means_.A. hurt B. having no way out C. disappointed D. having no plan52. What did Heidi do when she saw they were in trouble?A. She decided to stay with them. B. She called Pep Boys for help.C. She offered to drive them home. D. She bought a new battery for them.53. How much did Heidi earn a day? A. 50 B.40 C.30 D.10 (B)Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer. The training I received, though excellent, didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked together, learning how to read built Maries self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.54. What did the writer do last summer?A. She worked in the supermarket.B. She helped someone to learn to read.C. She helped some single mothers.D. She was trained by a literacy volunteer.55. Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.B. Because she didn't have a bus schedule.C. Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket. D. Because she couldn't find the right bus. 56. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.B. She asked others to take her to the right place.C. She managed to find the goods by their looks. D. She remembered the names of the goods.57. Which of the statements is TRUE about Marie?A. She could do many things she had not been able to before.B. She was able to read stories with the help of her son.C. She decided to continue her studies in school.D. She helped to build up my self-confidence. (C)Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list of you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Dont allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.
