A
I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.
San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn’t go to school. I only had three hours of formal(正规的)education when I was five. I was sent to school but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn’t enjoy it and hadn’t learned anything. My parents decided that school was not for me and I never went back.
My mother then taught me and my two sisters, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I’d like to have it. I couldn’t

say my ‘r’ when I was small. My mother said if I could say an ’r’ well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my ‘r’s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life – but I work hard for them.
51.The writer ________.
A. was born in San Francisco B. is living in New York now C. likes living in London D. doesn’t like America 52.The writer did not go to school in America because ___________. A. his mother wanted him to go to school in England
B. his parents did not think formal education was right for him C. his mother wanted him to play outdoors in the parks D. he couldn’t get on well with the other children 53.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The writer was taught by his mother and other teachers. B. The writer had no education at all.
C. The writer didn’t have lessons every day.
D. The writer walked to the Park to learn languages once a week. 54.The writer got the little toy train at last because________.
A. his mother gave him the money for it B. he tried his best to read music C. he wanted it very much D. his mother was pleased with his progress 55.The writer tells us _______.
A. why children needn’t go to school B. how he grew up in San Francisco
C. that children liked toys D. that his mother didn’t give him any toy
B
Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫)have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they are to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开),its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all. 56.From the passage we learn that locusts________. A. are small animals B. are easily found by birds
