It is said that Mickeys goodness must come from some special 36 . They asked Mickey so much that, one afternoon, he invited his favourite teacher, Mr. Anthony, home to tea. When they had finished, Mickey showed Mr. Anthony around the house. When Mickey opened 37 bedroom door, the teacher froze, and a big smile spread across his face.The huge far wall was a unique collage（拼贴画）of thousands of colours and shapes! It was the 38 decoration Mr. Anthony had ever seen."Some people at school think I never think badly of anyone," Mickey started to 39 , "and that nothing at all bothers me, and that I never want to fight with anyone, but that's not true at all. I'm just like anyone else. I used to get angrier than all the other kids. 40 years ago, with the help of my parents, I started a small collage. I could 41 any kind of material and colour for it. With every little piece I put up, I added some bad thought or act.”It was true. The teacher looked closely at the 42 . In each one of the small pieces he could read, in tiny letters, 'fool', 'idiot', 'pain', 'bore', and a thousand other negative things."This is how I started 43 all my bad times into opportunities to add to my collage. Now I like the collage so much that, each time someone makes me angry, I couldn't be happier. They've given me a new piece for my work of 44 ."That day they discussed many things, but what the teacher never forgot was how an ordinary boy had shown him that the secret to having a cheerful and optimistic character is to change the bad times into chances to 45 .Without telling anyone, on that very day, Mr. Anthony began his own collage.

Jai McDowall BWhen I was 14, I left school with learning disabilities and decided to surf the biggest waves in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii. One morning, I met an old man, a bum (流浪汉), on the street corner. He asked me if I was running away from home. I told him, "Not exactly, sir," After talking a while, he told me that he had something to show me and share with me. We walked several blocks until we came upon the downtown Public Library.The bum asked me to sit down and wait for a moment. Later he returned with some books, and then said, " I want to teach you two things. Number one is never to judge a book by its cover, for a cover fools you. I'll bet you think I'm a bum, don't you?" I said, "I guess so, sir.""Well, young man, I've got a little surprise for you. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. But a year ago, my wife passed away, I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to live like a bum on the streets. For the past year I have been going from city to city doing just that. "Number two is to learn how to read, for there is only one thing that people can't take away from you, and that is your wisdom."

The Mayan achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming, for example, made their work easier and more productive. The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to build these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing. Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler than the elaborate buildings in the cities. They lived in small huts with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature. The Mayan priests studied the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets. They made a calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more exact than the European calendars of the time. Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from some disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Archaeologists are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya. 53. What does the underlined word “ elaborate ”mean?A. easily built B. carefully made C. slowly fixed D. quickly designed54. From the passage we can infer that _.A. most Maya lived in beautiful citiesB. many Mayan cities and temples are still standing C. the Maya were intelligent and culturally rich peopleD. the Mayan calendar was the same as European calendars 55. What can be the best title for this article?A. Mayan Gods B. Mayan Buildings C. Productive Maya D. Mysterious Maya DFighting fires has always been a dangerous job. The job has grown even more risky in recent years. Thats because changes in building over the last 30 years have resulted in hotter fires that are more unpredictable. Todays buildings use many more synthetic materials than those built 30 years ago did. As a result, when they catch fire, they burn at a much higher temperature and give off much more energy than their older counterparts do. Furthermore, most modern buildings are extremely well insulated (绝缘的). That means that when they catch fire, they hold most of the fires heat.Hotter fires result in especially dangerous situations for firefighters. The fires themselves are dangerous, of course, but even more problematic are the super-hot gases created by the fires. These cause “extreme fire behaviors,” a term firefighters use to describe quick-moving, life-threatening events at the scene of a fire. They include flashovers (跳火) . Temperature increases so greatly that some materials in an area burn up at once. They also include backdrafts(反风流), during which oxygen rushes into an area, causing a fireball. The most dangerous effect of a backdraft is that it can actually take in all the oxygen out of a room where firefighters are working. Finally, there are gas explosions(爆炸). They happen when extreme heat causes gases to spread quickly.American firefighters have worked hard to fight against the dangers of modern firefighting. Unfortunately, death rates have remained nearly unchanged during the last 30 years. Thats a poor showing compared to Sweden and Great Britain. Both of those countries have cut death rates among firefighters in half over the same period.Why are the British and the Swedes more successful at protecting their firefighters? Some within the firefighting community believe its because both countries use a procedure called “3-D firefighting.”For now, most American fire companies will stick with traditional firefighting strategies and believe that 3-D technique(技术) cannot be effective. Supporters of the technique claim that it greatly reduces the likelihood of an extreme fire behavior. In 2002, the fire department of Gresham, Oregon became the first in the United States to accept 3-D firefighting techniques. The companys battalion chief, Ed Hartin, has become a supporter for the procedure, conducts trainings, and has written a book on the subject. Maybe the use of 3-D firefighting is held back by its cost in the United States.56. What does the underlined word “counterparts” refer to in the passage?A. changesB. buildingsC. jobs D. fires57.
