When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings（缺点）.
Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change（like being very thin）, but a good number I could――and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
52. Why did her father listen to her quietly? Because ____________.
A. he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth
B. he had been very angry with his daughter’s shortcomings
C. he knew that his daughter wouldn’t listen to him at that moment
D. he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true
53. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?
A. He refused to take the list and have a look at it at that time.
B. He criticized（批评）her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her.
D. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.
54. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C. I’ll Never Forget My Father
D. I’ll Remember My Childhood
C
Canberra, the capital of Australia, lies in the southeast of the country. From this city, it is 240 kilometers to Sydney, and over twice to Melbourne. The former（前者）faces the Pacific Ocean, and the latter（后者）is close to the Bass Strait, through which ships from Sydney can enter the Indian Ocean.
When the Federal Government of August was founded in 1901, no one knew where Australia’s capital would be. The two cities of Melbourne and Sydney both wanted the honour. Instead, the founding fathers chose a piece of land between the two cities for the new capital. The government would build a new city called Canberra as the country’s capital.
In 1911, the government invited world leading architects（建筑家）to enter designs for Canberra in a contest（竞赛）. An architect from Chicago（芝加哥）named Wallet Griffin won. The government decided to build Canberra according to his plan. Men started to work on Canberra in 1913. Twenty-four years later, the city was finished. But the government moved to this new city ten years before it was completed.
At one time, almost everyone in Canberra worked for the government. However, the city today has become a center of education and favourite place for tourists. Now people can hold a government job, or they can work in business. They also make a living by teaching or meeting the needs of tourists.
People find life in Canberra very relaxing and pleasant. The city is surrounded by beautiful mountains where people can ski. There is a large man-made lake lined with beaches and parks in the center of Canberra.
Canberra is now Australia’s largest inland city. Many people living there have come from other cities in Australia and from other lands. They have come to Canberra to work. Some have come to escape her busier way of life found in many other cities.

阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
A daughter told her father about her life and said things were so hard for her. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one appeared. Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground（磨碎的）coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the fire. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. Then he poured the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs and coffee”, she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell（壳）, she saw the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to drink the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted it, “What does it mean, Father?”
He explained that each of them had faced the same trouble, boiling water, but each reacted（反应）differently. The carrot went in strong and hard. But after being in the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been easy to break. Its thin outer shell had protected its inside. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were different, however. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water. “Which are you?” he asked his daughter “When trouble knocks on your door, what do you do? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?”
