The following Monday，the pastor received a call at the church office，which  （64）was （be） the phone that he'd used that Saturday night．The man that he spoke with wanted to know  （65）why he'd called on Saturday night．The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about．Then the man said，"It rang and rang，（66）but I didn't answer．"
The pastor remembered the matter and apologized for disturbing him，（67）explaining （explain） that he'd intended to call his wife．The man said，"That's OK．Let me tell you my story．You see，I was planning to commit suicide（自杀）  （68）on Saturday night，but before I  （69）did （do），I prayed，‘God，if you're there，and you don't want me to do this，give me a sign now．'And at that point，my phone started to ring"．How  （70）lucky （luck） I'm！"

8．At a time when many students still see college as their best hope for a rewarding career，higher education has become more expensive，far more than the steady increase in the cost of living．As a consequence，average student debt at graduation is currently pushing $30，000．In some cases，student debt reaches six figures．
But falling beyond the reach of these frightening statistics are many capable students who don't accumulate student debt because they can't afford to go to college in the first place．
Which raises a question：Wouldn't our nation be better off if all American students were encouraged，or even assisted，by public policy to push their intellectual capacities to their maximums？What if all higher education in our country were extremely affordable？Or even free？
As it happens，the Associated Press reported that both Oregon and Tennessee are considering the feasibility （可行性） of no-tuition policies for their community colleges．
The logic behind these efforts is well explained by Oregon State Senator Mark Hass："I think everybody agrees that with a high school education by itself，there is no path to the middle class．There is only one path，and it leads to poverty．And poverty is very expensive．"
Hass may overstate the case slightly．Despite the lack of good blue-collar jobs in our country obs that would firmly establish a worker in whatt's left of the middle class and provide paid vacation，a pension，and health insurance high school graduate might still  piece together enough work to keep himself more or less above the poverty line，even though access to the true"American Dream"will still be very difficult．
But the second part of Hass's argument is undeniable．Our failure to educate ourselves to our full potential is very expensive．Hass refers to research from the Oregon University System that indicates that Oregonians with only a high school degree make less money and，therefore，pay fewer taxes than those with college degrees．They are also more likely to require food stamps and other sorts of public assistance．Republicans and Democrats agree on this．
Clearly，the closer we come to reaching our full educational capacity，as individuals and as a nation，the less likely we are to become criminals and prisoners．In fact，it's hard to think of a social ill that's unlikely to be improved by more education．
But，of course，there's no such thing as"free college"．The taxpayers have to come up with the money．
But，would our country be better off if all students had a real opportunity to push their educational capacities to the limit？Of course．There are long-term social benefits that ideology fools us into believing are unattainable．But versions of these goods and others have been achieved elsewhere，and they could be achieved in the United States as well．They may require some remedy （矫正，补救） to our nation's unfair redistribution of wealth in the direction of the already-wealthy，but more equality in income and wealth would be a healthy step，as well．
So，good for you，Oregon and Tennessee．Most of the world's problems come from ignorance，intolerance，greed and backwardness．Education is a very important remedy．

15．When I visit Merle，I always head straight to the kitchen．I play with her dog，and get settled at the table while Merle makes cups of tea for us．
We talk about anything we can think of：politics，dogs，the weather，and work．It's a ritual that I look forward to days in advance．
To an outsider，my visit appears to be simply the typical act of a granddaughter visiting her grandmother．But Merle and I are not related．She is my surrogate grandmother（代理外祖母）．
I didn't even realize I was in the market for a new grandparent until I gradually found that the relationship between Merle and I was exactly what I had with my maternal（母性的） grandparents---safe and comfortable．
While our relationship developed organically，there are plenty of people who have gone out searching for a grandparent-grandchild relationship．
Sydney-based Cate Kloos started"Find a Grandparent"in May 2012，after moving to Australia from Germany．While she enjoyed a close relationship with her grandparents in her native country，she realized her own children would be without their extended family（大家庭）．She wanted them to benefit in the same way that she had．Grandparents，she says，offer a different but essential kind of support．
"Find a Grandparent"works much like a match-mating service，where young families or individuals can ask for someone to act as a grandparent figure in their life．So far，several hundred families have made connections and spend time doing typical activities---lunch，going to movies and sharing stories．
"It is very important to have another person to turn to when they have problems； often grandparents have a different approach to life，"said Kloos．

28．How does the author feel about her visit to Merle？C
A．It is very formal．
B．It makes her nervous．
C．It gives her great pleasure．
D．It is a source of inspiration for her．
29．Why did Kloos decide to start"Find a Parent"？D
A．To honor her grandparents．
B．To make people closer to each other．
C．To bring warmth to elderly people．
D．To enable her kids to get more emotional support．
30．What does Kloos stress in the last paragraph？B
A．The qualities of grandparents．
B．The important role of grandparents．
C．We should have a positive attitude to life．
D．We should spend more time with our family．
31．What's the best title for the text？D
A．Merle and I
B．My role-model
C．Biological or surrogate？
D．Finding surrogate grandparents．

6．Energy independence．It has a nice ring to it．Doesn't it？If you think so，you're not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades，and never more so than in the past few years，when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession．
"Energy independence"and its rhetorical （修辞的） companion"energy security"are，however，slippery concepts that are rarely though through．What is it we want independence from，exactly？
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil．But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere．
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running．Yes，there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available，and more may become available，but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction．
Second，Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil．They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad．Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection．To what degree are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports？
Third，there are benefits to trade．It allows for economic efficiency（效率），and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit．And although you don't read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90countries．
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and，in fact，relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy．When that flow is interrupted，we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices，At the same time，we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world．

59．What does the author say about energy independence for America？A
A．It sounds very attractive．
B．It ensures national security．
C．It will bring oil prices down．
D．It has long been everyone's dream．．
60．Why does America rely heavily on oil imports？D
A．It wants to expand its storage of crude oil．
B．Its own oil reserves are quickly running out．
C．Its own oil production falls short of demand．
D．It wants to keep its own environment undamaged．
61．What does the author say about oil trade？B
A．It proves profitable to both sides．
B．It improves economic efficiency．
C．It makes for economic development．
D．It saves the cost of oil exploration．
