6．Easter is still a great day for worship（敬拜），candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs，but every year it gets quite a bit worse for rabbits．
And no，not because the kids like to pull their ears．The point is because of weather change，and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five kinds of rabbits in the US．
Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit as an example．It lives on the islands，but it is seriously affected（影响）now by rising sea levels．According to the Center for Biological Diversity，an ocean level rise of 0.9-meter would destroy their living place completely．
The snowshoe hare，on the other hand，has a color problem．Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer，which gives them better cover from predators （捕食者）．As the number of days with snow becoming less，more and more rabbits are being left in white fur during the days of both fall and spring，making them an easier mark for predators．
American pikas or rock rabbits might be the first of these species to go die out because of the weather change．Pikas live high in the cool，damp mountains．As global temperatures rise，they would naturally move to higher ground-but they already live on the mountaintops．They can't go any higher．The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their living place heats up．
The volcano rabbit has the same problem．Recent studies have shown that their lower living place has already moved upward about 700meters，but there are not right plants for them to move higher，so they have to stay in the middle．
Native to the US，pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1pound and live in the American West．They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world．Their living places have been destroyed by development．They also live on winter cover，but lesser snowfall is leaving them unprotected．
All of these give new meaning to dressing up in a huge rabbit costume（服装）this Easter．

56．Why does the writer mention Easter at the beginning of the passage？A
A．To raise the problem about rabbits．
B．To remind people of Easter traditions．
C．To show the importance of Easter Day．
D．To discuss the relationship between Easter and rabbits．
57．Why can some rabbits be easily discovered by predators now？B
A．Because they have moved to the places with fewer plants．
B．Because they can hardly live on color cover as before．
C．Because they can't change their color into white．
D．Because they are left to more skillful hunters．
58．What is the problem faced by rock rabbits and volcano rabbits？C
A．They are both affected by less snow．
B．Neither of them can find enough food．
C．Neither of them can move to higher place．
D．They are both affected by rising sea levels．
59．What can you infer from the passage？D
A．Predators are more skillful than before．
B．The weather is getting much hotter now．
C．There will be no rabbit costume for Easter soon．
D．People should care more about the rabbit problem．

5．Meeting people from another culture can be difficult．From the beginning，people may send the wrong signal（信号）．Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship．
Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree．For example，business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust．Even with people at work，it is necessary to spend a lot of time on"small talk"，usually over a glass of tea，before they do any job．In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office．
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures．I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion； instead there was an uncomfortable silence．The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better，I realized that they thought I was talking too much．In my own culture，we express meaning mainly through words，but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary．
Even within Northern Europe，cultural differences can cause serious problems．Certainly English and German cultures share similar values； however，Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly．We think that they are rude．In fact，this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly．
People from different parts of the world have different values，and sometimes these values are quite against each other．However，if we can understand them better，a multicultural（多元文化的）environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other．

53．The writer mentions his experience in Thailand to show thatD．
A．the English prefer to make long speeches
B．too many words are of no use
C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D．even talk and silence can be culturally different
54．According to the last paragraph，how can people understand each other better？C
A．By sharing different ways of life．
B．By accepting different habits．
C．By recognizing different values．
D．By speaking each other's languages．
55．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．Multicultural Environment．
B．Cross-Cultural Differences．
C．How to Understand Each Other．
D．How to Build Up a Relationship．

19．School education is very important and （78）useful．Yet no one can learn （79）everything at school and a teacher cannot teach his students everything they want to know．His work is to show his students （80）how to learn．He teaches them to read and think alone．So much more is to be learned outside school by the students （81）themselves（他们自己）．It is always more important to know how to study by oneself．It is quite easy （82）to learn something，but it is difficult to use it to solve （83）problems．Great inventors don't get everything at school，but they still can make many things and （84）change（改变） the world a lot．How can the inventors do all of this？One of answer is：They know how to study．A lot of things are not （85）taught in the classroom．They get a lot of（86）knowledge（知识）by reading outside school．They work （87）hardand never give up all their lives．

18．"What is success"？Mr．Black asked his 6th grade business class．It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term．
"Success is riding in a sweet car，watching an 80-inch（（英寸） TV，and living in a place with at least twelve rooms．"One student answered，earning（博得）laughs from all the students．
Mr．Black smiled，but shook his head．"Tom，that is excess（过量）．That is not success．"
"How about being able to provide for your family？"A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer．
"Now we're getting closer，"Mr．Black smiled，"but try thinking about what you need and what you want．"
"Getting everything you want．"Tom shouted out an answer again，trying for more laughs．
Mr．Black sighed（叹气）．"I believe we've already talked about excess versus（与…比较） success．"
"Getting everything you need，but some of what you want？"James，sitting in the back wondered aloud．
"Quite right!"Mr．Black clapped．"Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want．The more you get that you want，the more successful you are．You do reach a point where you are living in excess，though．"
"What does this have to do with business？"Tom asked．It seemed if it wasn't funny，he wasn't happy．
"Well，Tom，think of it this way：the point of business is to make a living to support your family．Once you have properly seen to （确保） their needs，you can then seen to getting the extras that you want．"
"What if I don't have a family？"he continued to be difficult．
"Then you have to provide for yourself，a family of one．"
"He has goldfish to think about!"Peter，Tom's friend，shouted out．
"Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl．"Mr．Black corrected himself．
Tom nodded，satisfied with that answer．
"So in the next nine weeks，we're going to study basic business situations，like having a checking account and understanding credit cards（信用卡）．"
