Our teacher,Miss Chua,is nearing retirement.However, she still commands our great  1   for being an excellent teacher. 
She has short hair that is gradually   2 white,an indication that age is creeping on her.The wrinkles (皱纹) that line her face   3  of years of hard work and selfless devotion to her students.She wears a pair of glasses through which her kind eyes are always   4  fixed upon us with affection and consideration.She looks
splendid in her   5  clothes which she will not throw away for something more  6  ,reflecting a thrifty (节俭的) nature.Through her,we have learned to be more careful with   7  .Not only that,she has also taught us the  8  of filial duty (孝道) by setting us a good   9  of looking after her eighty-five years old mother.
All her life,she has never  10  her duty towards her family and her students.For much
of her life,she has been working hard,displaying a   11   of discipline and an attitude of industry which she is presently   12  to fix in our mind. As her parents could not afford to  13 her to university,she saved hard and managed to graduate   14  a master degree from a British university.This is an inspiration to us—that absolute   15  leads to eventual fulfillment of dreams.
Miss Chua is totally committed to the  16  of her students.Armed with a keen insight into the teaching process,she never fails to  17  our minds and most important,her gift to us has been the development of a good  18  of English.   The day when Miss Chua   19  school and retires,I will send her a thousand flowers with the message “You’ve  20  us well.” I will never forget her.She has made a great impact on my life and on my English.

He wishes the holiday season would end already. His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours — and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. and Canada, so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen .
The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”
Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story: A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, “You have nice eyes and nice hair.” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (***扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do: The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don’t see other children again.
56.In the first paragraph, “spokesmen” refers to       .
A.businessmen                   B.political leaders
C.organisers of the activities      D.Santa Clauses
57.The passage implies that the job of Santa Claus is       .
A.well-paid        B.very hard        C.worth doing    D.dangerous
58.According to the third paragraph, Santas may sometimes be blamed for       .
A.doing something against the law       B.hanging around the dinner table
C.being lazy and sleeping in bed for days        D.not playing their roles as expected
59.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Christmas: Not a Good Festival for Santas
B.Is Santa Claus Really Alive?
C.A Christmas Story
D.What Does Santa Claus Do for Children?

My parents were in a huge argument, and 1 was really upset about it. I didn"t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend"s house. Though I knew I wouldn"t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to gelling out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I"d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, "Great opportunity."
"What is?" I asked.
"To talk, you and I" he said. "To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we"re going to do with ourselves now that we"re in the situation we are in."
"But we can"t do anything about it. Grandpa," I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same "boat" as I was.
And that"s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting Acre in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don"t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be — suddenly, the lights all came hack on. "Well," he said, "I guess that means you"ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!"
56.1 wished to get out of the house because ____
A. I was angry about my parents’ quarrel        B. I found nobody to share my feelings with
C. I wanted to escape from the dark house        D. I planned to tell my friend about my trouble
57. Grandpa was happy to see me because _____.
A. he could discuss the problem with me    B. he had not seen me for a long lime
C. he was afraid of darkness              D. he felt quite lonely
58. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The grandchild was eager to leave.     B. They would have more chats.
C. The lights would go out again.        D. It would no longer be dark.

With the rapid increase of economic rate in western countries,more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime,many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining.But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.
Of course,a small family has its advantages.Firstly,the small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their child.Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several.The child could grow up in an influential environment.Secondly,the child could learn more survival skills for future success.
However,___________ .The only child becomes the little emperor.It would make the only child ask more for himself and think less of others.
Besides,after the child grows up and gets married,the new couple has to take care of four old parents.That means the two children must work hard to support the four old parents.At present,many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society.China will face this situation in a short time to come.
On the contrary,a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects.Firstly,parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one.Moreover,the old brothers or sisters could also help their parents bring up little children.Secondly,if one of the children turns out to be successful,it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.
Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children,it is not so difficult as people think it to be.With the help of good educational system and modern technology,it is becoming easier to afford several children.
1. What is the writer’s attitude towards whether  it is good to grow up in a big family?(Please answer within 10 words.)
2. Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.
3.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? (Please answer within 10 words.)
4. Please fill in the blank with a proper sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)
5. What else do you think will help afford several  children besides what is mentioned in the article?(Please answer within 20 words.)
