Big things were happening in my life the summer I turned 13. In the middle of that summer, my parents shook my entire world and turned it upside down when they told me they were getting a divorce. I couldn't believe that our family was going to break up. Though I always knew my parents weren't very happy and they often fought, I still wanted my family to stay the same.
My life changed completely after the divorce.My mother and I moved into a small apartment across town,while my father and brother,Bill, stayed in our house.I now became a visitor whenever I went to see my dad and Bill on the weekends. And immediately I had my soon-to-be stepfather,Dan,whom I showed no interest in.I was clearly depressed, especially after Dan and my mother married and I realized that there was no way that things could change back to the way they had been.
Even though I resisted all Dan's attempts to get to know me and wasn't very nice to him, he never gave up on me. Gradually, I began to trust him. I realized that we actually had some things in common, especially when it came to movies and TV shows. We spent a lot of time together hanging out watching TV. That gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other.
Better still, Dan showed an interest in me that I had never experienced from my own father. Dan was always around when I needed advice on school or friends. Once I began to warm up to Dan, the three of us began spending a lot of time together. We often went out to eat and took short trips. Eventually, I discovered that I finally had the happy family that I had always wanted.
I now realize my parents were right about getting the divorce. Their breakup was the best thing to happen for all of us. My father also found happiness－ he remarried and had another child, my half-sister, Michelle. 　　　
At 13, I learned an important truth－change is not always the worst thing that can happen. Sometimes, it is just what we need the most.

It was a dark and cold night. The car driver didn’t have even one passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, “Where do you want to go, sir?”
“To the Star Hotel,” the young man answered. When the car driver heard that, he didn’t feel happy. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.

Miguel’s co-workers don’t quite understand him. One day he is smiling and friendly, a real team player. The next day, he is cross, getting angry over minor things, especially when asked to improve one of his designs.
Identifying your personality characteristics is the first step in developing a good attitude. Are you a positive, confident person or are you shy and reserved? Do you face problems, looking for solutions, or do you feel someone to blame? Characteristics define you. They help you succeed, or they hold you back.
Self-awareness, or understanding the factors that make up your personality, is an important step towards happiness, and happiness is the key characteristic of a good attitude. To become self-aware is to be aware of both your good and bad characteristics.
What are the characteristics that people compliment(恭維) on you? Are you dependable”, “responsible” or “solid”? Pay attention to the compliment because they are a confirmation of your strongest characteristics. You can use these characteristics to create an even better image.
People form opinions about you. Whether they are right or wrong doesn’t enter the question. You, however, can change their opinions by demonstrating the personality characteristics and attitudes that match the way you want to be viewed. In becoming self-aware, understanding how others see you is an important step. This can be painful; but if you are brave enough to try it, it can be an excellent growth experience.
Change is not easy, especially when it has to do with your behaviors. You should break the behavior change into small steps because small steps are easier to achieve and more likely to last. The change will be permanent if you want to change for yourself.

I was glad when somebody told me, "You may go and collect Negro folklore（民間傳說）．" In a way, it would not be a new experience for me． When I pitched head first into the world of Negroism, it was fitting me like a tight chemise （襯衣）．I couldn't see it for wearing it．It was only when I was out of college, away from my native surroundings that I could stand off and look at my garment．Then I had to have the spy-glass of anthropology to look through．
I was asked where I wanted to work and I said, "Florida． It's a place that draws people─Negroes from every Southern state and some from the North and West．" So I knew that it was possible for me to get across the section of the Negro South in one state．And then I realized that I felt new myself, so it looked sensible for me to choose familiar ground．
I started in Eatonville, Florida, because I knew that the town was full of material and that I could get it without causing any hurt or harm． As early as I could remember, it was the habit of the men particularly to gather on the store porch in the
evenings and exchange stories．Even the women would stop and break a breath with them at times．As a child when I was sent down to the store, I' d drag out my leaving to hear more．
Folklore is not as easy to collect as it sounds．The ideal source is where there are the fewest outside influences, but these people are．reluctant at times to reveal that which the soul lives by．I knew that even I would have some hindrance（障礙）among strangers．But here in Eatonville I knew everybody was going to help me．
63．In the first paragraph, the author' s claim "In a way, it would not be a new experience for me" refers to the fact that ____．
A．she had already attended college in Florida
B．she had already received permission to conduct the study
C．she had already experienced new cultures by leaving home
D．she was already familiar with the Negro folklore that she was to collect
64．In the second paragraph, the author indicates that one reason why she chose to work in Florida was that she wanted to collect folklore _____．

C．from a place she had never visited
D．in a state far from where she grew up

A．Men went there more frequently than women．
B．Most of the storytellers didn't grow up in Eatonville．
C．The author' s parents sent her to the porch to hear the stories．
D．One man in particular told most of the stories．
66．Which of the following is NOT the reason why the author decided to collect folklore in Eatonville?
A．The people of Eatonville would be grateful if she published their stories．

Wishing to encourage her young son to make more progress on the piano，a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated，the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall，the little boy rose and eventually found his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly，the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. To her horror，the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard，innocently picking out Twinkle，Twinkle Little Star.
At that moment, the great pianist made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit. Keep playing." Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a melody. Together, the old master and the young beginner transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was amazed and, as it finished, they cheered.
That's the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music. But when we put our trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our life's work can be truly beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit, keep playing.

Grandfather was from Italy and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. 
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle brought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. 
Then the moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eyes for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,“The war is over”. For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer. 
41. My grandfather most worried about         . 
A. the spread of the world war            B. the safety of his living two cousins
C. a drop in his living standards          D. his relatives killing each other
42. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “        “
A. a letter of rejection                  B. a train ticket for Europe
C. an order for army service      D. a note of warning
43. What did the “service pins”（in Para. 2）stand for in the eyes of the little girls?
A. Honor   B. Courage.   C. Victory.   D. Strength.
44. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?
