On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront café on a Greek island. Over a hundred degrees in    36   air.  Crowded. Tempers（脾氣）of both the tourists and waiters had    37   to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment（環(huán)境）

       At the table next to mine sat an attractive,    38    couple, waiting for    39  .  They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their    40    and stepped together     41    the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped   42   for the two chairs. He politely   43   his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.

          44   appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to   45    the table and take their  46   , and then walked back to the    47    cheers of the rest of his    48  . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went     49    into the water to     50     the wine. The couple toasted（祝酒）each other, the waiter and the crowd. And the crowd   51   by cheering and throwing flowers to them. Three other tables  52   to have lunch in the water. The place was now filled with laughter.

       One doesn’t step into water in one’s best summer clothes. Why not?

       Customers are not served    53    . Why not?

       Sometimes one should consider   54   the line of convention（常規(guī)）and enjoy   55   to the fullest.

The year I went away to college was a very difficult transition（過渡期）for me.    21    is probably true with many people. I got quite homesick and    22    thought about going home.

Although the   23   time for many students is getting   24   from home, my mailbox was frequently   25  . One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard   26   out at me. I sat down to read it,   27   a note from someone back home.   28   I became increasingly puzzled （困惑）as   29   postcards were like this; It was a full news report about a woman named Mabel and her newborn baby. I took the card back to my room and   30   about it.

Several days later I   31   another postcard, this one   32   news about Maybelline, Mabel’s

cousin. Soon after, another card arrived and then another,   33   full of news of different people. I began to   34   look forward to the next one,   35   to see what this author would come up with  36  . I was never   37  .

    Finally, the cards   38   coming, right about the time I had begun to feel   39   about college life. They had been such a happy distraction（調劑）that I have   40   all the postcards and still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift.

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款臺), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christ-mas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(電池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership－a shop selling cars－was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when  I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

“Thank you”－two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant（顯著的）problem.

The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation（動機）, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.

Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining（保持）or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.

65．What is the text mainly about?

A．Foreign students have more problems.

B．There are many ways to improve English.

C．Teaching should meet students’ needs.

D．English learning problems should be studied again.

66．Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students ___________.

A．had to write their papers

B．became better at speaking

C．became less interested in reading

D．had fewer problems with listening

67．We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ___________.

A．different teaching methods should be used

B．grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging

C．English courses are necessary for foreign students

D．teaching content should be changed halfway

68．The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to “___________”.

A．re-think

B．activity

C．motivation

D．timetable
