　　In the late 1970s, Joan's parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there. Her parents hoped she would study medicine.

       It all began with a stop at a red light．

       Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006 While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other．

"Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal," Hannah protested． The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable．She pestered （纠缠）her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something．

       "What do you want to do?" her mom responded．"Sell our house?"

Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds to charity, while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home．

Eventually, that's what the family did．The project —crazy, impetuous （鲁莽的） and utterly inspiring —is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: "The Power of Half．" It's a book that, frankly, I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it．An impressionable child reads this, and the next tiling you know your whole family is out on the street。

At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference —for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help．In a column a week ago, It described neurological （神经学的）evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction．The Salwens' experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness．

Mr．Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house．But after they downsized, there was much less space to retreat to, so the family members spent more time around each other．A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house．

50．The best title for the passage should be "______"．

       A．The Less, the Better                  B．An Expected Satisfaction

       C．Something We Can Live Without        D．Somewhat Crazy but Inspiring

51．What does the underlined word "inequity" most probably mean in Paragraph 3?

       A．Unfairness                           B．Satisfaction

       C．Personal attitude                        D．Reasonable statement

52．What does the underlined sentence " Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．" （in paragraph 5） means? ______

       A．Never give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager

       B．Unless a child is realistic, never give an answer immediately

       C．Give an answer if the child is reasonable

       D．Don't respond to a child's demands firmly without consideration

53．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

       A．The Salwens regretted selling their house．

       B．The relationship between the family members of the Salwens is much closer．

       C．Small houses can bring happiness．

       D．The Salwens intend to buy another big house．

54．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

       A．Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap．

       B．Unselfishness has nothing to do with people's primary satisfaction．

       C．Hannah asked her parents to do something charitable and they sold their house．

       D．The writer's children asked him to sell their house．

You know her name，Maureen McGovern of course，but it is understandable if what you can think of when you reflect on her voice is that mournful song The Morning After from the movie The Poseidon Adventure (1972) or the equally We May Never Love Like This Again from the equally disaster-filled Towering Inferno (1974). Ms McGovern’s career took off with these recordings when she was in her early 20s，and both won Oscars for best song. Then she sort of disappeared.

At 62-although she says she prefers to give her age “in Celsius17”-Ms McGovern is sharing both her career rise-and-fall-and-rise story and a good bit about her personal life in this almost-solo（独唱）show，Two River Theater Company’s latest main stage production Carry It On. It’s an uneven but eventually satisfying mix of songs and anecdotes（轶事）.

Ms. McGovern’s narration (叙述) seems forced and artificial at first，too，going on about “The Wizard of Oz，”Emily Dickson，her childhood home in Ohio and her idols，(偶像) including Judy Collins and Mary Travers. It would have been nice if Philip Himberg，the director and the star’s co-author，could have forced a little more liveliness into these anecdotes. But Ms McGovern either eases into them or becomes carried away with memories of social activism. “ The 1960s sort of got stuck to me，”she says，and goes into Joni Mitchell’s classic Circle Game.

However，by the time she does the title number by Joan Baez，with a background of violent scenes from the civil rights movement，the audience is hers. In the best numbers，her voice is big，powerful and capable of crystal-clear notes with deep emotion.

Maya Ciarrocchi’s projection design is a remarkable part of the show. It’s not wildly creative，but the images are well chosen and artistically edited. Ms McGovvern sings The White Cliffs of Dover to a picture of her father in his World War II uniform. She sings When I’m 64 and Let It Be in front of a changing collage（拼贴画）of the Beatles in their youth.

72. Towering Inferno is the name of ______.

A. a singer               B. a director                  C. a song               D. a movie

73. We can learn from the first paragraph that Maureen McGovern ______.

A. has been successful in her whole life

B. only sang mournful songs from movies

C. came out successful when still very young

D. dropped from singing for winning Oscars for best singer

74. According to the passage，Maureen McGovern’s acting in “Carry It On ” is ______.

A. unnatural             B. attractive                  C. rough                D. boring

75. What’s the passage mainly about?

A. Maureen McGovern and her songs.

B. Maureen McGovern and her followers.

C. Maureen McGovern and her achievements.

D. Maureen McGovern and the Musical “Carry It On”.
