5．Eliza Doolittle，a poor flower girl who was ambitious to improve herself，came from the west end of London．She made a living by （61）selling（sell）flowers in the streets．One day，she met with Professor Higgins who was （62）an expert in phonetics，convinced that the quality of a person's English depended on his or her position in society．Professor laughed at Eliza's terrible English and promised（63）proudly （proud） that once taught to speak properly，the girl could pass（64）herself off in three months as a duchess at an ambassador's garden party．Eliza thought that it was a chance for her （65）to change（change）her life．So she went to Higgin's house and asked him to teach her but （66）was refused （refuse）．At that time，professor's friend Colonel Pickering，an officer in the army，was interested in the girl's （67）education （educate）．He bet with the professor that he might not teach Eliza successfully，（68）which made the proud professor accept Eliza （69）as a student and decided to teach her not only pronunciation （70）but also grammar．
4．Born with easy-broken bone disease，Zhang Yonghong is only half a meter tall and must use a wheelchair．His thin arms and legs can hardly support any weight，and he is unable to take care of himself．However，his hands are able to produce fine paper-cuts，which will free his daughter from the same disease．
To support himself，he learned how to make pap er-cut art from his mother．He sold his artwork and taught his techniques in Xi'an for eight years before discovering his young daughter inherited the disease from him，leading Zhang to move his family to Beijing for his daughter's better treatment five years ago．
The daughter's treatment costs about 30，000yuan a year．The family's savings was used up in two years，and Zhang was forced to start to sell his work in underground passages with his healthy wife，who soon left him because of the hard life．
With a little help from government，he was lucky to meet some kindhearted people in Beijing．A Hong Kong businessman gave 60，000yuan to him last year to treat the girl and start a small shop on Qiangulouyuan，which is known as a famous hutong that attracts lots of tourists over holidays．Zhang Rui，a university graduate，spends most of her time helping Zhang sell the paper-cuts，translating the stories of the paper-cuts into English and selling the works on the roadside of Nanluoguxiang．
However，the artist still lives beyond his income （收入） and struggles to continue his small business．"Selling paper-cuts is his only source of income．Without this，he can't support the family and treat his daughter，"says Zhang Rui，who hopes more people will help Zhang．

B．His parents also had the same disease．

3．There is a 9-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden，there is a puddle （一滩水） between his feet and the front of his pants are wet．He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened．It's never happened before，and he knows that when the boys find out they will never let him forget it．When the girls find out，they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives．
The boy believes his heart is going to stop．He puts his head down and prays："This is an emergency!I need help now!Five minutes from now I'm dead meat．"
He looks up from his prayer，and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered．
As the teacher is walking toward him，a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water．Susie trips in front of the teacher and spills the bowl of water in the boy's lap．
The boy pretends to be angry，but all the while is saying to himself．"Thank God!"
Now all of a sudden，instead of being made fun of，the boy gets sympathy．The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out．All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk．The sympathy is wonderful．But the ridicule that should have been his is given to someone else-Susie．She tries to help，but they tell her to get out．"You've done enough!"
Finally，at the end of the day，as they are waiting for the bus，the boy walks over to Susie and whispers："You did that on purpose，didn't you？"Susie whispers back："I wet my pants once too．"

2．Learning to drive is important to the independence of teenagers，but it is also a great responsibility．Although having a law that keeps 16-year-old drivers from having more than one teenager in the car with them at first seems unfair，there are convincing reasons for this requirement．
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident．It also reports that 16-and 17-year-old drivers are twice as likely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times as likely to have one if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them．Fatal （ 致命的） crashes of 16-year-old drivers involve the highest percentage of speeding，driver error，and number of passengers．This information is enough to cause any reasonable person to wonder about the wisdom of allowing new teen drivers to take a carload of friends anywhere，even if the law permits it．
A study at the National Institutes of Health indicates that the part of the human brain that controls judgment and evaluates the consequences of our actions might not be fully formed until the age of 25．Until this study，researchers had placed the age at 18．If this is true，it could explain the reckless （鲁莽的） behavior of many teens，behavior that often extends into their twenties．It also could be a strong reason for being cautious about the driving circumstances of young people．
This is not the only study that indicates such caution is necessary．One study at Temple University in Philadelphia examines the results of peer pressure in ris ky driving situations．The study，which uses a driving game，has an individual guide a car through a course，both alone and in the presence of friends．Three different age groups participated in the study：13-16，18-22，and 24 and older．Members of the oldest group showed caution whether driving alone or with friends present，but the two younger groups took more chances when they were with their friend s．Furthermore，because these drivers were accustomed to the noise and distraction of many passengers，they were unable to see their own mistakes．Once again，this is a good indication that a law restricting the number of teenage rs in the car with a young driver is a good idea．

67．What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2？B
    A．Many deaths have occurred because of inexperience and overconfidence．
    B．It's reasonable to severely limit the passenger number of teen drivers．
    C．New teen drivers have to．ask permission before driving with friends．
    D．There are many causes behind the teens'driving accidents．
68．From the two studies，the author probably suggests thatD．
     A．different age groups have different peer pressure
     B．teenagers often give wrong judgments above passengers'noise
     C．underdeveloped brain makes teens ignore their mistakes
     D．driving circumstances are bound up with the risk of accidents
69．We can infer that the law restriction can probablyA．
     A．protect teens on the highway
     B．raise teens'sense of responsibility
     C．reduce the number of fatal crashes
     D．force teens to drive with caution70．With which statement would thuthor most
70．kely disagree？C
     A．Some teenagers have risky behavior while driving．
     B．Certain laws treat teenagers and adults differently．
     C．We still need more studies on teen driving．
     D．Driving is important to a teenager's sense of independence．
