In life, people come across many experiences, which they remember all their lives. I had a similar experience, too.

It was the day of my last paper of the final exam. My uncle had invited me to spend my vacation with him. I was especially excited about the invitation that my uncle had given me to stay with him for a few days in Cambridge.

 On that day we got into our classroom. The teacher quickly handed out the paper. The exam would last two hours and some of the expected questions came. I finished it almost forty-five minutes earlier. But since it was a rule not to collect the paper before the allotted（規(guī)定的）time. I had to sit till the teacher collected the paper. I checked my paper twice and corrected some of the mistakes in it. I started thinking about the place my friends and I had planned to go to after the exam. The time seemed to be endless. So I thought of drawing something on the paper and turned it overleaf. I was shocked to see that the page which I had supposed to be blank had four more questions on it which carried 20 marks and would take at least half an hour to complete. There were only 10 minutes left. I was so nervous that I could hardly write anything. They were the sub-questions（小題）of the last question. Suddenly our physics teacher came in and told all of us that in the last question, out of 6 sub-questions only 2 had to be solved. I felt very relieved.

From then on, I realized that my anxiousness and excitement could have cost me to lose 20 marks and decided never to make such a mistake again.

59. We can infer（推斷） from the passage that _____________.

A. the writer did 2 sub-questions of the last question

B. the writer finished doing all the sub-questions

C. the writer spent 45 minutes finishing the paper

D. the writer got full marks in the physics exam

60. We can learn from the passage that we should _____________.

A. learn some exam skills               B. be careful not to make mistakes in the exam

C. try our best to do well in the exam      D. concentrate on what we are doing

People often complain they face too many problems. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up.

People have money problems, work problems, family problems, health problems..... the list goes on. And we usually think that people who are happy and successful are having fewer problems than us. Look at the successful people we often mention. They have money they need, they have jobs they love, they have good friends, they have obedient(孝順的) kids, they have the successful business, they have loving families etc. Everything goes well with them. That is why they are happy and successful. But in fact, the more successful you are, the more problems you have to face. More success means more challenges they have to face, and more success means more risks they have to take.

Young and old, rich and poor, successful and unsuccessful, educated and uneducated, all have problems. The difference is that their problems are different from each other. Rich and successful have big problems. Poor and unsuccessful have small problems. Still they all have problems which they can face. Successful people are successful just because they are ready to face challenges larger than ordinary people.

Winning the US elections(選舉) makes Obama very happy. As a new US president, he has to face bigger challenges. He has to be more careful about his work he does, or he will lose his position(位置). Looking at him, we may say he is lucky, happy and successful. But, I think, as the US president, he has more pressure than an ordinary person.

54. You will be a/an ______ person if you are afraid to face more challenges.

　 A. ordinary　　　 B. successful　　　　 C. famous　　　　 D. educated

55. From this article we know that President Obama ______.

　 A. has fewer problems　　　　　　　　 B. was born in a rich family

　 C. takes more risks　　　　　　　　　 D. is a successful businessman

56. The main idea of this article is _______.

　 A. why poor people are always poor

　 B. how many problems people usually have to face

C. how lucky and happy President Obama is

D. how to deal with problems in life

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks(手藝). They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rain in summer may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

51. If a person without lots of money wants to buy a car, he or she has to ______.

　 A. treat the dog well　　　　　　　　　 B. live with lots of dogs

C. work like a dog　　　　　　　　　　 D. become sick as a dog
