One day, Henry Adam, an American businessman, sailed out of the bay.    11   (luck) he was carried out to sea by a strong wind. Just when hope was about gone, he was picked up by a ship for London. In the ship he earned his passage by   12  (work) without pay, as a common sailor. When he got to London he was almost   13  .(penny)

    On the following morning Henry was wandering on the pavement, when a window behind him was raised, and a gentleman asked him to step in. He   14  (show) into a room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. A couple of days   15   these two old and wealthy brothers had been having a hot argument what might happen to a stranger in London without a friend, and with no money   16   a million-pound bank-note. One said he   17  (starve) to death; the other said he wouldn't. So they agreed to decide it by a bet. They wrote a   18   with the million-pound bank-note in it. Then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to until Henry came along.

After they had his story, one of   19   handed Henry an envelope, and said he would find the explanation inside. After promising   20   to open it until 2 o’clock, Henry took his leave.

School uniforms（制服）are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise，because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling （标记）that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way，they will not pay too much attention to their clothing，and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.

Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms，but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers（障碍）; school uniforms tear those barriers down.

As in other places，uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example，when a man or woman puts on a police uniform，he or she becomes，for a time，the symbol（象征）of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students，the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.

Some parents are unhappy about uniforms，saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity”. First，as noted above，the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality （个性）. They just copy their classmates. Second，students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school，their job is to master reading，writing，and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.

61. In Paragraph 1，the word “benefits” probably means       .

A. tasks        B. messages       C. differences      D. advantages

62. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general       .

A. prevent the wearers from being laughed at 

B. help the wearers keep their duties in mind

C. are seen as a symbol of power      D. help to create social barriers

63. Some people are against school uniforms because       .

A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms

B. they believe that uniforms will make students less creative

C. they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers

D. they think that school uniforms are too popular

64. The author would probably agree that       .

A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not

B. students’ individuality may not come from school education

C. students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose

D. school uniforms help to create equality among students

65. School uniforms are becoming more and more popular and important because _____

A. they can stop the powerful social sorting and labeling.

B. if all students are dressed in the same way，they will not pay too much attention to their clothing.

C. uniforms can remind the wearers of their purposes and duties

    I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

    Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

    Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated in the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated in the test.

44. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ .

   A. she had not brought a pen with her         B. she had lost her own on her way to school

   C. there was something wrong with her pen   D. her own had been taken away by someone

45. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____ .

   A. to go on writing his paper         B. to stop whispering

   C. to leave the room immediately     D. to stay behind after the exam

46. The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____ .

   A. honesty    B. sense of duty          C. seriousness     D. all of the above

47. The boy knew everything ____ .

   A. the moment he was asked to stay behind   

B.when the teacher started talking about honesty

   C. only some time later                   

D. when he was walking out of the room

I remember how I used to playing with my friends during my childhood. We always had a great fun. We played many games which we had to use our imagination. By playing those game, we learned how to compete, organize groups, and creative. Now, the situation is differently. Children are still playing, but instead playing outdoors, they are playing indoors with high-tech toys. This means we are staying inside the house all the times, and usually in front of a TV. So they are becoming more lonely, and making less friends.
