And the snow is too 39 to get any mail across the mountains.”John went on working, but his thoughts were on the snow-covered 40 through the mountains. He remembered 41 as a boy he had climbed snow mountains on snowshoes. He examined the wood. Then and there he decided to make a pair of snowshoes out of it.After he made them he began to practise on his snowshoes until he felt 42 of himself. Then he showed his neighbors how his snowshoes 43 .Stepping forward, one of the town elders spoke up. “If you are ready,go ahead and carry the mail.” With neither tracks nor paths to 44 , he moved ahead on what he believed to be the proper 45 .

He must save his 47 for the long journey still ahead.Finding the stump of a tree, he set it on 48 . Then he made a platform of branches on the snow. Stretching out on it with his feet to the fire and the mailbag under his head, he fell asleep.After three days of traveling, he 49 smoke curling upward from the chimneys. John knew he was nearing the town. As he glided into town, people 50 out of their homes and gathered around him. They started in 51 at the blue-eyed man on strange snowshoes.“I brought you mail from Placerville,” John said simply.The following day the sister of the dead miner gave John a letter, “Ill come 52 the children as soon as the pass is clear.” She told him.For the next five winters, 53 paid little, snow-shoes John went on steadily carrying the mail.

The grindstone is down in the shop.”Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “Im sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal(小坏蛋), youve played truant(逃课)! Run to school, or youll be sorry! “Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this old day, but now to be called a rascal is too much.”The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank into my mind. I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax to grind.”56. In this passage, the word “flattery” means _.A. an order or direction B. nice words used beyond truth C. kind words spoken by elder people to children D. good manners57. The man asked the boy many questions because _.A. he liked the boy very much B. he wanted to know the boys nameC. he wanted to sharpen his ax D. he wanted to know how old the boy was58. The man called the boy “rascal” because _.A. his ax was damaged by the boy B. he didnt like the boys play truantC. he didnt need the boy any more D. he thought that boy should go to school on time59. Today in the writers vocabulary “That man has an ax to grind” means _.A. that man has some selfish reasons for his actions B. that man works with an ax C. that man is very kind and polite to boys D. that man needs to sharpen his axBSome people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medal with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite sides victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said: “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished.” The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play, A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. The judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then decided not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honors or money rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individuals, or in non national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism.60. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _.A. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred B. hardly showed any international friendshipC. made only false national pride D. brought about goodwill between the nations61. What did the manager mean by saying, “Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished”?A. The society should be dismissed B. His team would no longer take part in international games C. Hockey and the society are both ruined by t he unfair decisionsD. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the society 62. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games B. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improvedC. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the gameD. International contests lead to misunderstanding between nations.CI love exploring new places. Whether I travel across America or around the world,a new adventure is always waiting. What I dont always enjoy is the time spent 9,000 meters(30,000 feet)in the air. Tight spaces, long hours, and unexpected-problems can make air travel stressful. Follow these six tips to make your next flight a braze. 1. Make a checklist. Before you pack,make a checklist of everything you need and mark item off as you put them in your bag. Be sure you include important documents, such as your passport.2. Pack light. You dont need to pack your whole closet. Choose clothes that mix and match for more variety. Wear your largest shoes on the place to save room in your bag. And pack a few old items that you can leave behind to make more room for souvenirs on the way home.3. Carry on essential items. Unfortunately, dependable baggage service is hard to come by. When you fly, be sure to pack your medicine, important documents, and a change of clothes in your carry-on bag.4. Pack water and snacks. No one wants to get stuck on a runway for hours without food, water. But bad weather or mechanical problems could leave you stranded. Pack water and crackers in your carry-on. But leave fresh foods at home. Most countries wont allow you to bring them across their borders.5. Stretch your legs. More and more travelers suffer from blood clots caused by sitting too long in tight spaces. You can help prevent this problem by doing stretches in your seat taking short walks every hour.6. Entertain yourself. A long trip can either mean hours of boredom or an exciting adventure. Plan ahead to keep yourself busy

Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.
“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”
Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.
At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal(小坏蛋), you’ve played truant(逃课)! Run to school, or you’ll be sorry! “
“Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this old day, but now to be called a rascal is too much.”
The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank into my mind. I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax to grind.”

Some people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.
One country received its second-place medal with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite side’s victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said: “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished.” The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play, A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. The judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand.

But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism.

I love exploring new places. Whether I travel across America or around the world,a new adventure is always waiting. What I don’t always enjoy is the time spent 9,000 meters(30,000 feet)in the air. Tight spaces, long hours, and unexpected-problems can make air travel stressful. Follow these six tips to make your next flight a braze.
1. Make a checklist. Before you pack,make a checklist of everything you need and mark item off as you put them in your bag. Be sure you include important documents, such as your passport.
2. Pack light. You don’t need to pack your whole closet. Choose clothes that mix and match for more variety. Wear your largest shoes on the place to save room in your bag. And pack a few old items that you can leave behind to make more room for souvenirs on the way home.
3. Carry on essential items. Unfortunately, dependable baggage service is hard to come by. When you fly, be sure to pack your medicine, important documents, and a change of clothes in your carry-on bag.
4. Pack water and snacks. No one wants to get stuck on a runway for hours without food, water. But bad weather or mechanical problems could leave you stranded. Pack water and crackers in your carry-on. But leave fresh foods at home. Most countries won’t allow you to bring them across their borders.
5. Stretch your legs. More and more travelers suffer from blood clots caused by sitting too long in tight spaces. You can help prevent this problem by doing stretches in your seat taking short walks every hour.
6. Entertain yourself. A long trip can either mean hours of boredom or an exciting adventure. Plan ahead to keep yourself busy
