5．It was my first day in Hangzhou，the Chinese city famous for its natural beauty and history and I didn't have much time to spare．I wanted to see（61）asmuch of the city as possible in the two days（62）beforeI was to return to Guangzhou．My first task was to decide where to go and（63）howto get there．I took out my guide book in which there was a lot of information about the city's well-known tourist（64）attractions（attract） and started to read．At that moment an attractive young lady（65）who/thatnoticed my book came up to me and introduced（66）herself．She said her name was Miss Bai．She kindly offered to show me（67）aroundthe city．I was delighted and was about to accept her proposal when she suggested we first（68）go （go） to the West Lake and walk along the Broken Bridge．I quite liked the idea of visiting the West Lake but wasn't so sure about crossing the Broken Bridge．（69）If/Since/Asit was broken，did she expect me to jump across？And I couldn't swim，so if I fell in then I would drown．That was definitely not an attractive idea so I politely declined her invitation，（70）closed（close） my book and walked away．

10．Science has a lot of uses．It can uncover laws of nature，cure diseases，make bombs，and help bridges to stand up．Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation （诱惑） to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful．David Brooks，author of The Social Animal：The Hidden Sources of Love，Character，and Achievement，appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation．
Brooks gained fame for several books．His latest book The Social Animal，however，is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books．It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics．The book focuses on big questions：What has science revealed about human nature？What are the sources of character？And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't？
To answer these questions，Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines．Considering this，you might expect the book to be a dry recitation （背诵） of facts．But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox （非常规的），and perhaps unfortunate way．Instead of introducing scientific theories，he tells a story，within which he tries to make his points，perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention．So as Harold and Erica，the hero and heroine in his story，live through childhood，we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction．Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters．
On the whole，Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired．As one would expect，his writing is mostly clear and，to be fair，some chapters stand out above the rest．I enjoyed，for instance，the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own．While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters，the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere．These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science．

56．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？（No more than 10words）The purpose of writing The Social Animal．/The main topics of the book．Or：The weighty topics in"The Social Animal"，written by Brooks．
57．Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories？（No more than 15words）Because he tries to make his points through the story or keep reader's attention．Or：To make his points and keep the reader's attention．
58．According to The Social Animal，how can we learn about the science of child development？（No more than 10words）As Harold and Erica live through their childhood．Or：By reading the story of Harold and Erica．Or：By following the story of living through childhood．
59．Please explain the underlined word"weighty"in English．（No more than 1word）Serious．Or：Important．Or：Significant．Or：Great．Or：Big．Or：Crucial．Or：Heavy…．
60．Do you like Brooks'way of dealing with science in The Social Animal？Why？（No more than 20words）Yes，I do．Because he introduces scientific theories through a story，which is much easier for people to understand．．

20．In the fall of 1985，1 was a bright-eyed girl heading to Howard University，aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere．Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell．
My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college at the age of 65．She was the first in our family to reach that goal．But one year after I started college，she developed cancer．I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her．It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait．
Then I got married with another dream：building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children．In 1999，wc adopted our first son．To lay eyes on him was fantastic-and very emotional．A year later came our second adopted boy．Then followed son No.3．In 2003，1 gave birth to another boy．
You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 8．Our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zoo．Not surprising，I never did make it back to college full-time．But I never gave up on the dream either．I had only one choice：to find a way．That meant taking as few as one class each semester．
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys．They often wanted me to stay home with them．There certainly were times I wanted to quit，but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．
In 2007，1 graduated from the University of North Carolina．It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special，just single-minded．It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you're in the midst of it，it just seems normal．Everything you want won*t arrive in your life on one day．It's a process．Remember：little steps add up to big dreams．
