When my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock” He’d smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words.
When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something.”
As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked with great intensity at the ants.
For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.
Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt compelled when he was a boy to encourage his enthusiasm for observation.
That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.
55. The author wrote the passage to __________.
A. recall the happy times he spent with his son
B. tell us that children are full of curiosity
C. tell us how to let children love nature
D. advise us to develop children’s interest or talent
56. The author showed David the ants to _______.
A. prevent him from becoming bored
B. develop his enthusiasm for observation
C. teach him some new words
D. arouse his interest in creatures
57. Which of the following can best describe the author’s viewpoint?
A. Make children have their own hobbies.
B. Teach children to be independent as soon as possible.
C. Satisfy children’s interest by possible means
D. Hobbies can determine one’s future
58. The underlined word “intensity” in the third paragraph probably means “_______”.
A. hatred B. fear C. curiosity D. doubt

“Is there anything else you need, honey?” my dad asked me as he put the twenty-dollar bills in my hand. I was traveling back home from a family visit. and after treating me to breakfast and filling my car with gas, it was obvious that my dad wanted to make sure that I would be okay on the road.
“No. Dad．You’ve done so much already. Thank you!” I was overwhelmed once again by his kind acts of providing everything I needed, despite the fact I just turned 40. Yet I realize that in my father’s eyes, I will always be his little girl. He takes deep pleasure in knowing his children are all right. Now that he has enough money, he loves to give whenever he sees a need.
But this was not always the case. Divorced from my mother when I was 11,my dad couldn’t be around his kids as often as he would have liked. Money was also tight; even weekend visits were rare. However, my dad stayed in constant communication with us and made sure he was involved in our lives. Though he couldn’t always be there in person, I knew he was only a phone call away. I could always count on that.
Even now，almost 30 years later, I treasure knowing that I can pick up the phone and call Dad，and he’ll be there for me. I have a wonderful husband, but that hasn’t changed how Dad sees me. I'm still his child and he loves to see that my needs are met.
I remember a time when I was shopping in a hardware store(五金店)with Dad. I mentioned my plans to paint one wall in my house. Well, that’s all it took for Dad to take action．By the time I got to the checkout line, all the supplies I picked out were put out of my hands and placed with things he bought.
Then there was the time when I took him with me to do some grocery shopping for just a few “items”. By the time we were finished, my shopping cart was full of groceries from every shelf in the store! My sister and I joke that if you don't want Dad to buy it for you, avoid even mentioning you want something.

their business is, so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore. In one experiment, a researcher wrote down
the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports. Then he called the numbers. Someone
nearly always answered. When he asked why, people usually said, "Because it rang."
A few years ago in New Jersey, a man with a rifle killed 13 people. Armed police surrounded his
house but he refused to come out. A reporter found out the phone number of the house and called.
The man put down his rifle and answered the phone. "What do you want?" he said, "I'm really busy
right now."
Imagine you're at work and the phone is ringing in someone else's office. Do you answer it or not?
In one survey on telephone use, 51% of participants told researches that they did. We can't ignore the
phone and for the reason, it forces its way into our lives. It interrupts what we are doing and on top of
that, the caller is often someone we don't really want to talk to. However, in the survey, 58% said they
never took the phone off the hook, and 67% didn't mind if someone called during a television programme. For 44% it wasn't a problem if someone rang during a meal, while only 28% were annoyed or upset.
If someone phoned in the middle of the night, 40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened,
while around 30% got angry.
Of course, when someone is really annoying, you can choose to hang up on him/her. This is in fact
one of the rudest things you can do on the phone, but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some
cases. Only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people.
B. in order to help him gather the data
C. to test the function of the phone
