One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing．Before he was going to leave，one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he'd better not go there．Mark Twain waved （摇动） his hand and said，"It doesn't matter．The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine．I don't think they will come to visit me．"

5．Around twenty years ago I was going through hard times．I could not find a satisfying job．To my shame，I had to drive a school bus to make ends meet and lived in a friend's house．
One afternoon，while driving through a quiet suburban （郊外的） neighborhood I was so sad that I kept asking myself"Why has my life become so hard？""What's wrong with the world？"Then I pulled over the bus to drop off （让…下车） a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring，saying she found it on the floor of the bus and I should keep it in case（以防）the owner came to look for it．
In the evening，the owner did come to look for her earring．When I handed it to her，she got very excited and continued saying"Thanks，you're a real gentleman．"I told her that she should thank the little girl who had found it．She said，"Yes，and you are a good driver，too．What a lovely world it is!"Then she left with satisfaction．I was touched by her last words．I had thought something was wrong with the world just because of my poor condition．In fact，nothing was wrong with the world．I should change my attitude towards life．I should be positive about life．

20．An American educational expert，Frederick M．Hess says that a long summer vacation doesn't make sense in today's world．
    This summer，50 million kids will spend much time talking online，watching TV，plsying video games and asking older brothers or sisters to take them to the supermarket．They will also be putting their academic futures at risk．
    During much of the 20th century，many Americans worked in factories that did not need a college degree but still offered a high salary．Also，in the 19th century，there was no air condition．And poor hygiene（卫生）meant that crowded schools had health risks．
    Things have changed．For today's students，academic skills are key to future success..many nations don't give kids an American-style summer vacation．They offer no more than seven consecutive（连续的）weeks of vacation．Most American school districts offer up to 13 weeks．To compete in global marketplace，Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors．
    Summer vacation also causes challenges for today's families．In the 1960s，more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home mum．Now，two-thirds of American children live families where every adult works．For these families，summer vacation can be more burden than break．Someone must watch the kids．
    But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement．Scientist have found that disadvantaged students lose important ground in the summertime．
    A school year can allow time-limited teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons．Schools would have more time for sports，languages，music and the arts．

64．Before the 20th century，a long summer vacation mightC．
    A．cause career failure for Americans   B．reduce income for Americans
    C．reduce health risks for students     D．cause loss in global market for America
65．We can know that an American-style summer vacationC．
    A．lasts no more than two months    B．lasts less than three months
    C．lasts as long as three months    D．lasts as long as four months

    C．American students，parents and international competitors．
