But as she hurried down the subway stairs， she started to feel uncomfortably warn. By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired-maybe it hadnt been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks. Several yards away，Frank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!” Frank didnt hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him. She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station. It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse. Lisa thought shed been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldnt，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in. Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer.

The passage is intended to _A. warn us of the danger in the subwayB. show US how to save people in the subwayC. tell US about a subway rescueD. report a traffic accidentBHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some peopleon the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. 46. How did the author get to know America?A. From her relatives B. From her motherC. From Books and pictures D. From radio programs47. Upon leaving for America the author felt . A. confused B. excited C. worried D. amazed48. For the first two years in New York, the author . A. often lost her way B. did not think about her futureC. studied in three different schools D. got on well with her stepfather49. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A. She worked as a translatorB. She attended a lot of job interviewsC. She paid telephone bills for her familyD. She helped her family with her English50. The author believes that . A. her future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps tryingCAt a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites(地点)for a house.I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live.In imagination I have bought all the farms,one after another,and I knew their prices.The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place.But before the owner completed the sale with me,his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it,and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him.However,I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position,being about two miles from the village,half a mile from the nearest neighbor,bounded(相邻)on one side by the river,and separated from the highway by a wide field.The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadnt been used for some time.I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area,and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees,and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields.I wanted to buy it before the owner made any more improvements.But it turned out as I have said.I was not really troubled by the loss.I had always had a garden,but I dont think I was ready for a large farm.I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted(无牵挂的).It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.51.What do we know about the author?A.He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.B.He made a study of many farms before buying.C.He made money by buying and selling farms.D.He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.52.Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?A.It was of good market value. B.It was next to the highway.C.It was in a good position. D.It was behind a nice garden.53.Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?A.He was afraid the owner might change his mind.B.He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.C.He wanted to keep the farm as it was.D.He was eager to become a farm owner.54.The underlined words“the loss”in the last paragraph refer to .A.the mon
