One night I was sitting in my room half – listening as my 15 year – old brother fought with my 12 year – old brother Kevin．I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face．

About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom．I knocked on the door and asked, “Hi, Kevin, do you want to talk?”

No response(無應答)．I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”

Again, no response．

So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other．”

An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me．One was blank and one was cars from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me．As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes．It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me．I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest, and I’m not talented．Tommy thinks I’m stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball．And you’re never around to even notice me．”

Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him．“You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it．I am here for you and you are loved in this family．”

There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom．Kevin, who had run out of index cards wrote on a torn – up paper cup, “Thanks．”

I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me” written on it．Since then, I try my best never to half – notice my family members anymore．Kevin and I have closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup．”

60．Why did Kevin stay inside the bathroom alone crying?

A．Because he lost in the fight with Tommy． B．Because the author didn’t help him win Tommy．

C．Because he felt no love from the family members．

D．Because he hurt him when rushing up the stairs．

61．The underlined word “yucky” (Para．6) most probably means “           ”．

A．unpleasant              B．exciting    C．doubtful   D．frightening

62．What could be the reason that Kevin’s Dad doesn’t like him?

A．Kevin likes fighting with others．   B．Kevin is not good at playing basketball．

C．Kevin doesn’t want to talk to others． D．Kevin is not talented as his brother．

63．What did the author learn from the incident?

A．It’s hard to comfort young brothers at home．

B．It’s dangerous to half – notice someone in the family．

C．It’s important for family members to show their love．

D．The best way to communicate with family members is by writing．

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a  36  problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without   37  ; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all of these methods   38  , the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six   39   in analyzing a problem.

First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must   40  that there is a problem with his bicycle.

Next the person must  41  the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must   42   the parts that are wrong.

Now the person must look for   43   that will make the problem clearer and lead to  44 .    solutions. For example, suppose Sam   45   that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

After  46  the problem, the person should have  47  suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example   48  , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes, buy new brakes and change the old ones.

In the end, one   49   seems to be the solution   50   the problem. Sometimes the  51   idea comes quite  52  because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a          53   way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake. He immediately hits on the solution to his problem: he must  54   the brake.

Finally the solution is  55  . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.

The morning in London was wet, wet, wet. I had to check out from the 36  before noon, and then I would have a few 37  before my conference started near Richmond Park in the 38  .

“Two books per visit per week,” said the unsmiling librarian as she handed a library card. Neither the limits nor her attitude   36   me, a 9-year-old Jewish girl growing up in Berlin in the 1950s. I needed those visits. The books were filled with stories in which, however   37   things seemed, everything   38   well in the end,  39   justice, bravery, and wisdom—a striking contrast (對比) to my everyday experiences.

Thirty years later, I, a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13, stood in front of another librarian. This librarian was   40  .

“What did she say?” I asked my daughter, who already knew a little English and often  41   as my interpreter.

“She said ‘Can I help you?’”

“Ask if they have any books in   42  ,” I requested.

“No, they don’t.” translated my daughter.

While hunting for a job, I was told that the library needed people to   43   books. The interview was short—the job didn’t require much English, just a   44   of the alphabet. I started the next day. Every day, I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was   45   from me, mentally dividing them by size and color. One day, while shelving, I found English for Beginners and began studying it on my own.   46   English letters started forming words I could   47  , words combined into phrases, and—oh,   48  !—I was reading. It was a slow process, supported by dictionaries and    49   by tears, but it was progress. Afterwards I got promoted to the front desk—  50   books in and out and answering simple questions.

 Every day I receive dozens of people. Sometimes I spot new immigrants. They come from all over the world, so they look different, but the hesitant expression on their faces and their   51   manners are similar. My heart goes out to them,   52   they are people like me. I fully understand the    53   roads on which they have stepped. “They’ve come to the right place,” I think to   54  . Then I smile and say—just the   55   a librarian said to me a long time ago—“Can I help you?”

It's fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites. Right before  36   Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma   37   me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the   38   like me. She said, "There's an old saying—the   39   you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood   40   to the mosquitoes. " Not    41   it, I replied, "Grandma, that's just an old wives' tale!" 

Well, less than a week   42   my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted（覆蓋著） with a   43   of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being   44   , but they all proved useless.

Late one   45   in my cousin's home, I couldn't bear the   46   of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I   47   my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being   48   , she said, "There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep. " With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (妒嫉地)   49   her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would   50   on her face.  However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her face and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed, I ran to others'   51   , only to find they were all sleeping   52   as the same thing occurred again and again.

From those bites, I came to   53   my grandma's silly tale. From then on, I've always tried to keep a(n)   54   mind about those strange old wives' tales   55   they do have some truth to them.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, and I at once apologized to him. We were both very  41  , the stranger and I. Then we went  42  our way after saying goodbye.

But at home a  43  story is told. Later that day, when I  44  supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very  45  . When I turned back, I  46  knocked her down. “don’t be in my  47  !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart  48  . On the kitchen floor, later, I found some flowers by the door.

That night, while I lay  49  in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While  50  with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily  51  . Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She  52  them herself, pink, yellow and your favourite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a  53  , and you never saw the  54  in her eyes.”

By this time, I felt very  55  and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her  56  . “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the  57  .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I  58  have shouted at you that way.”

She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you  59  .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”

“This Friday we’ll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge,” said our science teacher, Mr. Baker.

“ You can work alone with a partner.”

     My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects 36.

     The 37 of the Challenge was simple— to build a projective container to keep an egg from breaking when 38 the stadium wall.

     I made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie. 39 the butter-cream gave me an idea.

“I have a brilliant design for our 40 container!” I said when Cassie arrived. “We can 41 the egg with some butter-cream.

“Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute(降落傘) 42 ?” Cassie rolled her eyes.” The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”

I couldn’t believe it. Of course we’d had our little 43 in the past, but she’d never called any of my ideas “44” before.

“Then I’ll build mine and you build yours!”

45 words had been out, our friendship was challenged.

When Friday finally arrived, I had to 46 Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good.

47, my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose egg survived 48 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.

After four rounds, only Cassie and I were 49 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the 50. The sidewalk was dotted with egg shell(蛋殼) from those 51 drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.

“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura,” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 52 raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket. 53.

“My egg bounced 54,” she explained, pointing to a broken shell.
