If you go to the Hong Kong History Museum,  you will see a photo taken in 1989 of a man holding a mobile phone.

Mobile phones of the future may be able to play music in the same way as an MD player. As for size,  the technology will make them small enough to fit on your arm,  just like a watch you wear.

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up,  my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together,  my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me,  "You should have goals ( 目標) like climbing the mountain. " Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed,  we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience(耐力).

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing,  I enjoyed the flowers and trees,  and the birds' singing; but as time passed,  I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact,  I hated it at that moment,  but my father said to me,  "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain,  but you can't see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top,  can you see all of the nice things,  just like in life. "

At that time,  I was too young to understand his words. But later after that,  I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there,  I could see the whole of the sky,  which was as clear as crystal (水晶).

54. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was________ for Father and Son.

A.hard          B.enjoyable          C.painful     D.comfortable

55.The word "quit" in the passage means "________".

A.carry on            B.put off     C.give up             D.pick up

56.Which of the following is the closest(最接近的) in meaning to the father's words in the second paragraph?

A.You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.

B.The sky is always as clear as crystal.

C.You can find life is full of nice things.

D.Never give up half-way.

57.We can infer( 推斷)from the last paragraph that________.

A.the writer was very successful in his life

B.the writer reached the top of the mountain

C.though the writer was young,  he could understand his father

D.the writer used to stop half-way when he chimbed the mountain

58.The best title (題目) for the passage is "________".

A.Reaching the Top of the Mountain

B.Standing at the Top of the Mountain

C.Conversations between Father and Son

B)閱讀下面短文．根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答5 9～63小題。

We've got two children; Jack is seven,  and his little brother Ed is four. They're quite close,  and play a lot together. They quarrel quite a lot too,  but they enjoy each other's company(陪伴).

Unluckily,  we live quite a long way away from the others of the family. It's an eight-hour drive to get to their grandparents,  but we usually visit them during the school holidays.

Jack reads well,  but he hasn't started to read for pleasure yet―he thinks reading is only something you have to do at school. I think the main problem is that he watches far too much television.

He also likes playing cards and computer games. And riding his bike. I don't let him ride it on the streets,  but we often go to the park,  where it's safer.

He doesn't eat too many sweets,  because he's getting his adult teeth(恒牙) now,  and he knows they've got to last him for life. He seems more interested in saving his pocket money and counting it than spending it.

59.How many people are there in Jack's family?    ________________

60.When does Jack usually visit his grandparents? ________________

61.Where does Jack often go to ride a.bike?       ________________
