A
It was February 3rd, 1949, and New York Harbor was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars(火车车厢) filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci: a French word meaning “thank you”).
After World War II, a lot of factories, roads and farms in France had been destroyed(破坏). Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way. At every stop, people gave whatever they could. Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money. Even school children gave away their pocket money. All the things were then taken to France by ship.
By 1949, the French had begun to recover(恢复) from the war. The Merci Train was their way of saying “thank you” to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts. Most of them were personal, like hand-made toys, children’s drawings, or postcards. But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts. On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces with an American eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America, where they were warmly greeted.
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars. Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also
work together in peace.
（ ）51. New York Harbor was crowded because people wanted to __________.
A. start a trip by ship
C. have a big party
B. meet their families D. welcome the Merci Train
（ ）52. In 1947, a train stopped in cities across America in order to __________.
A. collect things to help French people B. give away clothing and food C. get more soldiers for the war
D. show exhibitions from the museums
（ ）53. The French people painted their 40 provinces and an American eagle on each boxcar because
__________.
A. they thought France was stronger than America B. the boxcars would be more beautiful
C. it could show the friendship between the two countries D. they were very good at painting pictures （ ）54. The passage is mainly about __________. A. the story of the Merci Train C. gifts that American people liked
B. museums where the boxcars are kept D. World War II

One day last year, I was surprised to see a big foreigner coming out of the house next door to ours. He was very tall with short brown hair and a pair of glasses.
The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!” I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don’t like it!” she said, “Foreigners aren’t like us. Maybe he’ll play loud music and hold parties every night! I’m sure he’s going to cause trouble.”
Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work. “Hello!” he said in Chinese. “My name’s Tony. I’ve just moved into the house next door to yours.” While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “There’s a nice bar(酒吧) down the road. Why don’t you and your family come and have dinner with me?” “Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go.
The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls. Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting
