12．All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live．Sometimes it was as long as a year； sometimes as short as twenty-four hours，but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours．
Such stories set up thinking，wondering what we should do under similar circumstances．What happiness should we find in reviewing the past，what regrets？
Sometimes，I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow．Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life．We should live each day with a gentleness，a vigor，and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant repetition of more days and months and years to come．
Most of us take life for granted．We know that one day we must die，but usually we picture that day as far in the future，when we are in pleasant health，death is all but unimaginable．We seldom think of it．The days stretch out in an endless prospect．So we go about our little task，hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life．
The same attitude，I am afraid，falls on the use of our abilities and senses．Only the deaf appreciate hearing，only the blind realize the various blessings that lie in sight．Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life．But those who have never suffered loss of sight and hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed abilities．Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily，without concentration，and with little appreciation．Seldom do people realize how good it is being in good health until they have fallen ill．It is the same old story of not being grateful without missing．

58．When reading the thrilling stories，we usuallyA．
A．have curiosity about the hero's limited life
B．show great interest in our own lives
C．find many regrets in reviewing the past
D．have mercy on the doomed man

A．the author thinks it would be excellent to live if he should die the next day
B．the disabled are anxious to regain their abilities and senses
C．each of us should treasure what we have possessed today
D．many of us are able to make full use of our time
60．The underlined word"hazily"in the last paragraph probably meansB．
A．happily
B．unclearly
C．freely
D．enthusiastically
61．The best title for this passage may probably beA．
A．Not Being Grateful without Missing
B．Giving a Hand to the Disabled
C．Making Use of Abilities and Senses
D．Learning from Thrilling Stories．

11．BEING an astronaut sounds cool，doesn't it？In space，they get to do some pretty amazing things，like floating in zero gravity （重力）．
However，there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment，and that's very sad．What's worse，they can't even let their sadness show-because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity．
Of course，astronauts can still produce tears．But crying is much more difficult in space，reported The Atlantic in January．Without gravity，tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth．This means that when you cry in space，your tears have nowhere to go-they just stick to your eyes．
In May 2011，astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks．"Tears，"he said，"don't fall off of your eye．They just stay there．"
Besides making your vision unclear，this can also cause physical pain．Back on Earth，tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes．But that's not the case in space．The space environment dries out astronauts'eyes，and when tears suddenly wet the eyes，it can cause pain rather than comfort．"My right eye is painful like crazy．"Feustel told his teammate during the walk．
Since gravity doesn't work in space，astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears．Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away．Another choice is to just wait-"When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around，"astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic．
There are lots of small things-things like crying-that we are so used to on Earth．We usually take them for granted，until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like space．There，astronauts can't talk to each other directly．They also can't eat or drink in normal ways．They can't even burp （打嗝），because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach．If they do burp，they just end up throwing up （呕吐） everything in their stomach，according to the UK National Space Center．
Thus，perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say："Gravity，you're the best．"

A．Tears produced in space don't flow downward．

10．Living alone in a foreign country can be difficult．Safety is a big problem，and I must be careful and stay vigilant （警惕的） all the time．
Boston is a strange city．It may look wonderful in one area but，just a block later，you no longer feel safe．Run-down buildings，scary-looking sculpture，and suspicious robber-like people：It makes my hair stand up to walk alone after dark．Therefore，I try to go to the city during the day and only when I really have to，I had to go there today to get some Chinese food for my presentation on Chinese snacks．
Unfortunately，I missed the 5：50train back to Andover and the next one wouldn't come for three hours．Rich，a guy I met on the way to the station，also missed the train．He said his friends would pick him up by car and could give me a ride if I wanted．I decided to accept his offer，because I thought I would be able to get home more quickly this way．
The next thing I knew，Iwas on the subway to Rich's apartment in another part of Boston．On the ride，he told me about his Scottish origins（血统）and poor family background．I knew he wasn't the kind of"proper"guy you met in Andover．Although I trusted Rich，I didn't go up to his apartment．Entering a stranger's house is dangerous so I stayed outside and waited for his friends．It was a long wait and Rich came down to chat with me．I learned then that he had been a drug addict（瘾君子）and was still a drug dealer．He showed me his parts，where he used to inject heroin．
Although he didn't make his money legally，I was sure he would not harm me．And indeed，Rich got me back to campus safely．
