阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　I had a sudden understanding recently as I watched the movie Life Is Beautiful: certain DVDs ought to carry a warning that they are unsuitable for watching in public. There I was, viewing the Oscar winner on a portable (手提式) DVD player and crying like a widow who freshly lost husband. The last time I cried so hard at a movie was as a kid when Old Yeller died at the end. This time, I was crying on a 7:30 a. m. train to Manhattan. People, understandably, were staring.

　　As the price of portable DVD players continues to drop, I doubt that public displays of feeling will soon be common on mass transportation and in other places where folks with electronic toys are forced to kill time. There was few better time killers than movies. And just wait until you try a portable DVD player with headphones. Those headphones, by the way, are key; since this is DVD, the sound is CD quality. That makes the overall effect more powerful.

　　To get the full taste of the experience, I chose two machines from opposite ends of the price range (范围): Sony's new, state-of-the-art DVP-FX1 ($ 1, 500 ) and Aiwa's older XD-DWI ($ 650 ). Given its price, I didn't expect the Aiwa machine to be in the same league as the Sony. I was wrong. Indeed, if your portable DVD needs are like mine, you probably shouldn't even consider the high end Sony.

　　What are my needs? I want my machines to plug into my TV, so I can use it as a DVD player at home, but also be portable enough to use on the train or even in the car without headphones.

　　Both machines performed extremely well under bumpy conditions, which surprised me. We were able to watch BOWFINGER while driving over railroad ties without missing a frame. And both machines easily attached to my home television, bringing the intense, digital clarity(高清晰度数字画面) of DVD to the larger screen. Life is indeed beautiful.

It is difficult in the modern world to do anything other than a basic job without  being able to read. Reading as a skill is the key to an educated workforce, which in turn is the bedrock of economic advancement, particularly in the present technological age. Studies have shown that by increasing the literacy skill of primary school children in the UK, the benefit to economy generally is in billions of pounds. The skill of reading is now no mere just an intellectual （知识的） or leisure activity, but rather a completely developed economic force.     
Part of the problem with reading is that it is a skill which is not appreciated in most developed societies. This is an attitude that has forced a large number of the population in most Western nations to illiteracy (文盲). It might surprise people in countries outside the West to learn that in the United Kingdom, and indeed in some other European countries, the literacy rate has fallen to below that of so-called less developed countries.
There are also forces against reading in our modern society. It is not seen as cool among a younger generation more at home with computer screens or e-libraries.
And reading is not very appealing. Students at school, college or university, who read a lot are called bookworms. The term indicates the contempt (轻蔑) in which reading and learning are held in certain circles or subcultures. It is a criticism, like all such attacks, driven by the insecurity of those who are not literate or are semiliterate. Criticism is also a means, like all bullying, of keeping peers（同辈） in place so that they do not step out of line. Peer pressure among young people is so powerful that it often kills any attempts to change attitudes towards habits like reading.
But the negative senses apart, is modern Western society standing Canute-like (自以为是地) against an uncontrollable drop? I think not.
57．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A．Reading plays an important role in education.
B．People can't find a job without being able to read.
C．The skill of reading has become an economic power.
D．More intellectual activities are needed in the technological age.
58．What problem exists in most Western nations?
A． Younger generations are addicted to modern technology.
B．The literacy skills have weakened their financial benefit.
C．Literacy rate has decreased because of people' s attitude.
D．School children spend more money on leisure activities.
59．What does the underlined sentence probably mean?
A．Criticism may help the young make reading a habit.
B．The contempt makes peers refuse to change their reading habit.
C．Peer pressure stops bully boy from stepping out of line.
D．Criticism strongly influences the young' s behavior towards reading.
60．What is the author' s purpose in writing this passage?

A man and his girlfriend just got married. The husband didn’t talk much but he was a steady man. The wife was pretty and dreamy.  Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.

     A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, “I read in a magazine about how we can  36   our marriage. Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit   37    with the other. Then, we can place them on the table to discuss how we    38    them together and make our life even happier.”

     “Are you sure you are about to do this?” the husband sighed and    39   . So each of them went to a(n)   40    room and thought about the things that annoyed them about the other for the rest of the day.

     The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their    41    .

     “I’ll start,” offered his wife eagerly. She    42    her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. She read all three pages to her husband and seemed to be quite pleased with her hard “work”. After hearing that, the husband stated   43   , “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the   44   that you are. I don’t want you to   45   anything for me.”

     The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for and his   46   of her without any conditions, turned her head and wept. At that moment, she came to understand the saying: “Beauty lies in the lover's eyes”.

     In life, there are enough time when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go  47   for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wonderful things before us? If you are accustomed to judging people, you have no time to love them.

 One day in Australia I decided to try hang gliding (悬浮式滑翔运动）. I went up with an instructor, floated and flew above the waves for about 20 minutes, then landed on the sand. His wife was there to meet us so she could drive us back. Their son, about 8 years old, was with her. As the four of us were standing there a woman named Sue came up with a big smile. She gave a warm hello to the couple, and then asked the boy, “How’s school, mate ?”With a troubled look on his young face, the boy quietly said, “Not good.” In response Sue exclaimed （大声说），sounding surprised , “Not good ?I bet it is fun.”

Then she turned her attention back to the boy’s parents. They started talking about some of their friends, smiling and laughing . Meanwhile, all three of them completely ignored the boy . But I watched his head drop.I watched him turn away from the group, take a few steps ,and just stand there ,alone.

I still find it hard to believe that anyone could miss a child’s reaction that completely. I wondered how the three adults could stand there and laugh while that boy stood there alone, troubled not only about school but also that no one was interested in his troubles.

Maybe his father tried to distract (分心）his son with risky sports. As long as you are active, you can’t feel your emotional (情绪上的）pain. But what if his son is not interested in sports?

These were what most people would say are “good parents” . But I say that what they did was child abuse. It was total emotional neglect at that moment . And that is why I am writing this story. To remind everyone that it is little interactions (交流）with children that make a difference in their lives and in society.

59. Why did Sue come up to the instructor’s family ?

  A. To learn about a risky sport.            B. To show concern for the boy.

  C.To have a chat with the couple.          D. To give the instructor a hand.

60. How did the boy probably feel after the woman talked to him?

  A. Lonely and sad .            B. Sad and angry.

  C. Surprised and angry .       D . Comfortable and peaceful.

61 . What attitude does the author have towards the instructor and his wife as parents ?

A. approving   B. Positive  C. Disapproving   D. understanding

62. Why does the author write the text?

A. To accuse the mindless adults.

B . To show his sympathy for a boy.

C. To describe an interesting scene.

D. To ask parents to communicate with children.
