18．I still clearly remember that day．I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep．I put signs in the windows that said，"Need a jack（千斤顶）．"
As I was about to give up，a truck stopped and a man got off．He looked at the situation，made a judgment and went back to take a jack．After about two hours，we finished the job with sweats．We were both dirty．His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands．
I tried to put 20in the man's hand，but he wouldn't take it，so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could．I asked their little girl where they lived，thinking maybe I'd send them a gift．She said they lived in Mexico．They were in Oregon now，so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks．After that，they were going to pick peaches and then go back home．
After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep，the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale（玉米粉蒸肉）for lunch．I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep．When I opened the tamale，what did I find inside？My 20!I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window．He started shaking his head，smiled，and with what looked like great concentration said in English，"Today you，tomorrow me．"Then he drove away，with his daughter waving to me from the back．
This family，working on a seasonal basis where time is money，took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly．
Since then I've helped many people like the Mexican family．I didn't accept their money．Every time I was able to help，I felt as if I was putting something in the bank．

A．the Mexican man couldn't speak English
B．the author's jeep broke down on the road
C．the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit

D．the author thought the wife wanted to use the money to buy peaches

36．What can we infer from the passage？D

8．Education is not an end，but a means to an end．In other words，we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them．Our purpose is to fit them for life．
In some modern countries，it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation．But we can already see that free education for all is not enough； we find in some countries where a far larger number of people with university degree； however，they refuse to do what they think"low"work； and，in fact，work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries．But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor； we can live without education，but we die if we have no food．If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses，we should get terrible diseases in our towns．
In fact，when we say that all of us must be educated to fit ourselves for life，it means that we must be educated in such a way that，firstly，each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and，secondly，that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society，and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one's work．Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society．

60．The writer of the passage thinks thatD．
A．education can settle the world's problems
B．free education for all probably leads to a perfect world．
C．free education won't help to solve problems
D．not all the social problems can be solved by education
61．The writer wants to prove thatA．
A．our society needs all kinds of jobs
B．our society needs free education for all
C．work with hands is the most important
D．a farmer is more important than a professor．
62．The purpose of education isB．
A．to get more educated physical laborers
B．to prepare children for the future work
C．to let everyone have suitable education
D．to build a perfect world for all the people．
9．There's no place in the world like Venice，Italy．Called the City of Water，Venice was built about 1，500 years ago．It's made up of 118 tiny islands in the Adriatic Sea．The area，however，may be in over its head．But now scientists have a new plan to save the city．
Because the city was built on soft soil，it has been sinking under the pressure of its own weight．Scientists estimate that Venice sinks at a rate of nearly 2 inches every 100 years．Rising sea levels could make Venice go under even faster，some experts say．Earth's temperature is slowly increasing．That is causing sea ice to melt，which makes the world's waters rise，they say．
To keep the city afloat，experts want to pump about 40 billion gallons of sea water beneath Venice．The liquid would expand the sand under the city，which would help support the islands，explains lead scientist Giuseppe Gambolati．
Experts are rushing to save Venice because of its rich history．The city was once a strong sea power．"Many famous artists and opera singers have come from Venice．Some of the world's greatest paintings can be found on the city's museum walls，"explains Melissa Conn，who is a director of Save Venice Inc．
While scientists work to get their water-pumping plan approved，Venice's residents go about their normal routines．When the tide rolls in，the locals have ways of keeping everyone dry．Cafe owners move tables to higher ground，and hotels pass out high boots to guests．
Still，dealing with the rising water does not give the city's residents a sinking feeling，just ask Erla Zwingle．She has lived in Venice for 17 years．"There has always been high water in Venice．"Zwingle told WR News．"If high water really were a serious problem，people wouldn't be still living here．"

6．"Slow City"-a recently launched project focused on preserving the traditional quality of life enjoyed in some of Italy's smaller cities and towns．The project was born from the idea of the"Slow Food"movement-started in Italy in the 1980s-which promotes leisurely eating and the growing of local，healthy products to fight against the American fast-food style．
"The American urban model has invaded our cities，making Italian towns look the same．We want to stop this kind of globalization，"says Paolo Saturnini，an Italian mayor．
The"Slow City"project plans to emphasize the rich，cultural，culinary（厨房的） and artistic local traditions of each community．
Walking areas will be enlarged and squares and parks will be made greener with more plants．Car alarms and other noise that disturbs the peace will be banned，and ugly TV aerials（天线），advertising posters，and signs will be taken down．
City councils will also insist on the use of recycling and renewable energy sources，and will also introduce ecological transport systems．Parking will be made stress-free by creating more public parking areas，and easily accessible walkways and bike lanes will cross the city．But in the"Slow City"way，all improvements will probably come about slowly．
Thirty-two Italian city councils，which joined the"Slow City"program，have decided to take further steps in this direction by increasing the numbers of traditional family-style eating establishments，reducing noise pollution，and concentrating on making their towns friendlier for people to live in．
Organic local produce will be promoted in all restaurants and genetically modified foods（转基因食品） will be banned．"We can't stop large，fast-food chains from coming here，but we hope that people who come to our towns will not want to eat exactly the same hamburger they can eat in Melbourne，London or Paris，but want something genuine and different，"said Saturnini．
67．According to the passage，the"Slow City"project aims atD．
A．preventing Italy from being affected by America
B．beautifying the environment of small Italian cities and towns
C．calling on Italians to enjoy stress-free life
D．protecting the traditional Italian lifestyle
68．From Paragraphs 4-5，we can infer thatC．
A．cars in"Slow City"will have to go slowly
B．people can park their cars free of charge in"Slow City"
C．"Slow City"will take on an environmentally friendly look
D．advertising in"Slow City"will be banned 
69．Further measures will be included in the"Slow City"program EXCEPTC．
A．cutting down noise pollution
B．stop genetically modified foods
C．getting more towns involved in the project
D．building more family-style restaurants
70．In Saturnini's opinion，when traveling in"Slow Cities"，visitorsD．
A．aren't provided with fast food
B．will see few fast-food chains
C．can enjoy themselves like in London
D．can enjoy real Italian-style healthy food．
13．It is winter in many parts of the world．For some areas，that means snow．Maybe even lots of snow．If you don't have to drive in it or remove it，snow can be very beautiful．When snow covers everything around you，the world looks like a"winter wonderland"．That is the name of a very popular song about winter．Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934．There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song．
But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time．It's cold outside．You try hard to keep warm．The days are darker and shorter．The sun rarely shines．The leaves on the trees are brown．It isn't surprising that some people are sad in winter．And some people dream about being somewhere else where it's warm and pretty-like the state of California．The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song"California Dreaming"．
    During the 1960s，many other famous rock groups released songs about winter．Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called"A Hazy Shade of Winter"．They sing about life and hope and possibilities．
In 1968，the group Blood，Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle，sad song about winter．They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in"Sometimes in Winter"．
In the early 1990s，Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called"Winter"．She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child．
    Finally，on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003．They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town．Nothing unusual there．But instead of being sad or tense about the snow，they write a song about it．
51．When is snow beautiful？B
