  People learn in different ways. Some people like to read the instructions first and then act.

  I like to learn by doing things on my   61  . The other evening I was asking my husband to show me something on the computer. Though he tried to do it for me, I wanted him to tell me what to do and I would do it myself. Also, if I was   62   a chicken dish. I would get out the instructions but I would not follow them too   63   .

  I know somebody else who is a theorist（理论家）. She is the   64   when discussing what might happen. Other people might find this   65   a waste of time. But something that seems   66   does not mean that it will never happen. And the theorists who have thought about these problems in advance（提前）may offer some solutions.

  The last type of thinker is   67   as a pragmatist（实用主义者）. He or she would prefer to learn the things   68   they think will be useful in their life and work. They never spend too long   69   about other things.

  So trainers need to be careful that people have different learning styles and try to   70   their different types of learning.

_______56. Many people like animals and take them as their pets. Nowadays pet hospitals are very busy. Kind persons who love animals are needed to work in busy animal hospitals.

_______57. Scientists think that pets will probably be much smaller because people in the future will be living in much smaller places. Scientists are already working on making very small farm animals. The same things might be done to make smaller cats and dogs.

_______58. It’s said that some day you might own a panther as a pet. Scientists might have to start turning wild animals into pets. This might be the only way to save them from dying out.

_______59. What about a robot for a pet? This may sound silly, but it could become true. Robot dogs have been made to bark like real dogs. These “pets” might become more and more popular in the future. After all, robots don’t lose hair or chew on things the way real pets do.

　 The Indians invented and developed the system of numbers from 1 to 9 and 0. We can use the ten numbers to make any number from the biggest to the smallest.

　 However, the ancient Romans invented a different system (系统) of numbers. They used symbols (符号) and replaced them. 1 is “Ⅰ” and 2 is “Ⅱ”. For larger numbers, they invented new symbols—5 is “Ⅴ”, 10 is “Ⅹ”, and so on. But they didn’t have a symbol for zero.

　 Here’s a table of the Roman numbers.

　 The Romans combined their symbols. In this way, “Ⅶ” means “5+1+1”, or 7. However, they found that “ⅡⅡ” (for 4) and “ⅤⅡⅡ” (for 9) were too confusing, so they thought out another idea.

　 If the “Ⅰ” comes after the “Ⅴ”, then you add it (Ⅵ is 6); if the “Ⅰ” comes before the “Ⅴ”, then you subtract (减去) it (Ⅳ is 4). The rule is that you are allowed to add up to three (e.g. Ⅷ is 8), but only subtract one (e.g. XL is 40).

　 How to remember the symbols?

　 Ⅰis like a finger. In a whole hand, the thumb (拇指) and the little finger make a V. Ten fingers are both hands, so the two Vs make an X..

　 Here is a way to remember the other symbols (L, C, D, M)：Little Cats Drink Milk.

(　 ) 54. What does MD mean according to the Romans’ rule of calculating?

　　　　 A. 500　　　　　 B. 1000　　　　 C. 1500　　　　 D. 2000

(　 ) 55 Which sentence is NOT true according to the passage?

　　　　 A. “Little Cats Drink Milk” can help us to remember some of the numbers symbols.

 Not long ago, my daughter’s shoes were scratched（划损）by someone’s knife. I took the shoes to the shoemaker to get them repaired. He looked at them and said to me,“If you trust me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes.”

I was confused and asked why.

He explained,“ As if the openings were made on purpose for a special style”.

I didn’t fully understand him, but I decided to leave the shoes there.

Two days later I dropped by from work to fetch the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six more scratches on each shoe, but all the openings were patched（补）by red soft leather（皮革）. They looked particular. I couldn’t help making compliments on the shoemaker’s skills.

Another time, there was a large opening on the back of my wife’s sister’s white coat. My wife took it over, checked carefully, and then said,“ Let me take it home and mend it.”

Three days later, seeing the coat again, I was shocked: the big opening was taken place by a beautiful flower and it took on a wonderful look. I gave my praise,“ It’s just as beautiful as a piece of art!”

Perfection is impossible to achieve in everything, and so is human’s life., which will appear in the form of injury, disability or disease. Since you can’t change a wound（伤口）,you should not expect people’s pity by exposing the wound, which reveals nothing meaningful. All you can do and have to do is to make up the wound by patches and try your best to grow the most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is the meaning of life.

 I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the   31   on one of the wine bottles.

  “Dad, Dad!” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”

  “Dear, hold on.” Dad said.

  “You can’t drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was   32   10 years ago.”

  “wait, let me tell you…”

  “Would you like me to   33   it away for you?” I asked.

  “Dear, wait a second,” he said.“Some wines get better   34   time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is  35  .”

  When I was young, I didn’t have any understanding of what this   36  , but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I   37   through my teenage years.

  In our society, we forget this simple rule: The longer you wait for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as   38   as possible; we want to graduate from college in as a few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of forget   39   .

  We all want to get to the next   40   so quickly that perhaps we don’t get   41   enough to get there. This has a   42   effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work, we   43   not study enough for the best, and   44   failing. We need to be ready for   45   comes, ready for the unexpected.

  Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.
