题目内容
Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.

56. Mrs. Green is a nurse in a hospital in London. She has a lovely daughter. She often says to her "Hey, Baby! Look at you, looking at me, looking at you looking at me". She is going to send her daughter to Grade 1 this September and buy a book with 40 pages for her.
57. Joe enjoys reading picture books about animals. He often buys some new ones. Last Saturday he bought a new book. There is such a sentence on the first page: “In a heartwarming twist on the ‘I-can-do-anything-you-can-do-better’ theme, Little Nutbrown Hare goes through a series of declarations regarding the breadth of his love for Big Nutbrown Hare”.
58. Tong Tong is five years and two months old now. His father bought him a story book for his birthday on July 2. Now he is reading “But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. … ”.
59. Mr. Smith lives in New York City. He has a two-year-old grandson, who likes to listen to some stories about animals and read picture books with a hide-and-seek adventure and lots of pop-up surprises on every page!
60. Susan’s mother bought her a new book today. In this book, there are many good bedtime activities — a reappearing little mouse is particularly pesky. By the end of the little rabbit's goodnight poem, the story has quieted to a whisper, and the drawings have darkened with nightfall. As you turn the last page, you can expect a sleepy smile and at least a yawn or two.
