A Dear Mr. Wise, I’m a slow student. Most of my classmates are much better than me, so I usually get stressed out. Although I spend much time studying for the tests, I can’t get good grades. Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it, but it doesn’t work. What do you think I should do? Li Lei Dear Li Lei,
Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison, a famous scientist, 51. Li Lei did poorly in his studies when he was a young boy. But, as an adult, he made many feels inventions that helped a lot of people. When I was at young age, I didn’t do well worried at school. I just kept working hard, and at last, I succeed.

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the correct time and is never late for anything. An unpunctual man never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be got back. Time is more useful than material things. In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is always wasting his most important things as well as others'. An unpunctual person is always saying unhappily that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls. But the man who really has much to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not finish all his work unless he carefully does every piece of work.
Being unpunctual is the sign of disrespect (不尊重) towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the time when he should be there, he keeps all the other guests (客人)waiting for him. Usually this will be thought as a great disrespect to the host and all the other guests.
Not like a punctual person, an unpunctual one can't do his duty wonderfully, whether it is public or personal. Imagine how it would be if those who should do important tasks failed to be on time. A man who is known to be often unpunctual is never believed by his friends.
54. The Chinese meaning of the word \________”. A.听话的 B.守时的 C.守纪律的 D.能干的 55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. An unpunctual person often has more time. B. An unpunctual person has more work to do. C. A punctual person often has a busy life.
D. A punctual person often does his work wonderfully.
56. When you are invited to dinner, you'd better arrive there___________.
A. in a hurry B. after the host C. at the decided time D. before other guests 57. From the passage, we learn that an unpunctual man usually __________ in the end. A. saves time for others B. leaves his family and friends C. gets his chances and knowledge D. loses his time and good name
C
Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced(有经验的) astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “We’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.” “They’re the last people I’d trust(信任),” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused(拒绝) to go.”
Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs(维修). When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again no answer came. Then he hit the door as hard as he could and finally a voice said, “Who’s there?” “It’s me! Who else could it be?” shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again! 58. Most of the astronauts don’t want to go on the trip because _________.
A. there was little chance to go B. they weren’t experienced enough C. they thought it was too dangerous D. it wasn’t exciting enough 59. Why were Sam and Joe chosen?

“How are you?” is a nice question .It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine ”isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes ,people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone Asks “Do you agree?” ,the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t very
