15．There is a woman name Tao Porchon-Lynch．She was born in India in 1918．So，if you do the math，she's 99．And at the age of 99，she has been recognized as the oldest yoga teacher in the world．She has been teaching yoga in a gym in her hometown，full-time，since 1967．
    But that's not all she's done．She has also been a model，actress and dancer．She became a model after she graduated from high school．She acted in more than ten fields．She won a lot of medals as a dancer in many competitions．She once said，"If you try your best and never give up，nothing is impossible．"And she is a firm believer in positive thinking．She dreams the impossible dreams，and she is also well known as a thinker．
   Tao Porchon-Lvnch is not the person who talks the talk； she is the person who walks the walk． When she makes up her mind to do something，she takes action to do it without delay．At the age of 85，she learned how to dance and even won several dance competitions．She offers this piece of advice to others，"Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today．Don't delay．Tomorrow never comes．"
    So，what about retirement？At 98，she is well past the age when many people make retirement plans．Retiring，it turns out，is not Tao's style．"A little girl，who is only 6years old and is now learning yoga with me，once asked me，"Dear granny，what are you going to do when you retire？"'Tao Porchon-Lynch told the little girl that she had no plans to retire but instead would continue to teach yoga and dance her way to next planet．

56．What is Tao Porchon-Lynch's job now？（No more than 5 words）
She's a yoga teacher．
57．What is Tao Porchon-Lynch's secret of success in so many fields？（No more than 8 words）She tries her best and never gives up．
58．How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3？（No more than 10 words）She does what she says and takes action without delay．
59．What is Tao Porchon-Lynch's following plan now？（No more than 10 words）She will continue to teach yoga and dance as well．
60．Do you agree with Tao Porchon-Lynch's attitude toward life？Give reasons in your own words．（No more than 20 words）Yes．Because people should always be full of passion for life no matter how old they are．

分析 文章介绍了Tao Porchon-Lynch的一生，她从事很多工作，并 一直坚持自己的梦想．

解答 56．She's a yoga teacher．细节题．根据She has been teaching yoga in a gym in her hometown，full-time，since 1967．从1976年开始，她就一直在教瑜伽，可见现在从事的职业依然是瑜伽教练．
57．She tries her best and never gives up．推理题．根据If you try your best and never give up，nothing is impossible可知，在她看来只要你尽力，永不放弃没有什么是不可能的，这也就是他成功的秘诀．
58．She does what she says and takes action without delay．猜测句意题．根据后面的句子When she makes up her mind to do something，she takes action to do it without delay．当她有想法的时候，会立即行动起来，告诉我们她一直强调做的重要性．
59．She will continue to teach yoga and dance as well．文章最后一句话but instead would continue to teach yoga and dance her way to next planet．告诉我们下一个计划是继续教瑜伽和跳舞．
60．Yes．Because people should always be full of passion for life no matter how old they are．开发性问题．只要答案符合要求都可以．

Later Ben went to Philadelphia．He started his own successful printing business and published a newspaper．People frequently quote（节选） from his sayings such things as，"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy，wealthy，and wise"and"A penny saved is a penny earned"．
He invented the Franklin stove（炉子） which provided better heat for their homes．He refused to patent the Franklin stove and the lightning rod because he thought more people would benefit from the inventions if he did not patent them．

3．Reading with Rover is a reading program where children read to dogs．In addition to Reading with Rover，which is based on Washington state，there are many such reading programs around the country．The goal of all these programs is to improve the reading skills of children with reading problems by having children read to dogs．
    When reading aloud in the classroom，many children with reading problems and poor reading skills feel frightened．They have little confidence in themselves and are afraid of being laughed at．They may also feel that reading is difficult，boring and stressful．However，when children read to dogs，reading becomes a fun and non-stressful experience for both the children and the dogs．Dogs don't criticize，judge or laugh at the children's reading ability．
    Reading with Rover and other programs like it have been a huge success，resulting in improved reading skills for a significant number of participating children with reading problems．In addition to making learning enjoyable，when children read to dogs，it increases their sense of worth and self-confidence．
    As part of the Reading with Rover program，the children read to dogs that are registered therapy dogs．These are dogs that have been trained and tested．Along with their owners，these dogs have become registered therapy teams．
    A recent research study was conducted by the University of California，which concluded that when children read to dogs，it can increase their reading skills by thirty percent．
    Children who took part in this study remarked，"I feel relaxed when I am reading to a dog because I am having fun．""The dogs don't care if you read really badly so you just keep going．"
    When children read to dogs and improve their reading skills，it becomes just another example of how wonderful dogs are and how important they are to our society．

56．What's the aim of Reading with Rover？（no more than 10 words）To improve the reading skills of children with reading problems．
57．Why does reading become a fun and non-stressful experience when children read to dogs？（no more than 12 words）

10．The Christmas of my 16th，when decorating the Christmas tree with Mama，I accidentally dropped and broke an old glass ball．It had been on our tree for as long as I could remember．
Regretfully，I knelt to pick up the pieces and was surprised to find a small piece of paper among them．Unfolding the tiny note，I recognized my father's penciled writing．Lifting my eyes，I saw my mother's fond expression．
"Your daddy wrote that and put it in that blue ball during our first Christmas together，just before you were born，"she said with a smile．
I wouldn't have believed it，if there hadn't been the note in my hands．The daddy I knew always regarded getting the tree decorated as an important task．And yet this bit of yellowed paper proved that long ago my daddy had done something romantic at Christmas．
Carefully putting the note aside，I cleaned up the pieces，wishing I could somehow reassemble（重新装配）them．"It's OK，Mary，"Mama said，comforting me with a hug．"Just pick out another of the old glass ball and put the note back inside．"
Now，as we celebrate the holidays without Mama，who died of cancer years ago，my discovery becomes more poignant（伤感）．Each year as I decorate Papa's tree，I recall the moment I shared with her that winter afternoon and blink away my tears．
As I carefully handle those old glass balls．I love knowing that one of them holds a secret between Papa and Mama-a secret that was obvious to all who knew them．
The note inside one of those old glass balls on Papa's tree holds the heart of my parents'marriage in three little words："I love you．"

56．What happened when the author was decorating the Christmas tree？（no more than 10words）He accidentally dropped and broke an old glass ball．
57．When was the paper put in the glass ball？（no more than 10words）Before the author was born．
58．What can we know about the author's father from the yellowed paper？（no more than 5words）He was kind of romantic．
