10.Once upon a time,there was a spider with the name Anansi.He knew that he was very clever but he also knew he wasn't wise(英明的).He didn't like this,but he did not know what to do.One day he had an idea.He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom(智慧).The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most.So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.
Soon his basket was full,but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous(嫉妒 ) of his wisdom and take it from him.He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree.When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body,he tried to climb the tree,but it was too difficult.He tried again and again with out success.
Then his youngest son walked by."What are you doing,father?"he asked and Anansi told him."Why don't you carry the basket on your back instead?"his son said.
Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily,but he wasn't happy."I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever,but my baby son is still wiser than me.Take back your wisdom!"he said.And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home.And that's how wisdom went all over the world.

56.Anansi went around the village becauseD.

C.he hoped to meet his son               D.he thought he wasn't wise enough

4.Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.
When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race.I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water.Some ran past,some walked past and a few wheeled past.
I saw so many types of people doing it.I thought maybe I could do it too!The next year I decided to run for the race,but I had little running practice.I just wanted to finish.
On the day of the race,it was terribly hot.After running for about 5miles,I was thinking,"I must be crazy.Why did I do this?What was I thinking?"And at one moment,I said to myself,"I am never doing this again!"
That first 10km race was quite an experience.I jogged (慢跑),I walked,I jogged and walked.At times,I didn't know if I could finish.
Near the end,a 70yearold man ran past me,very fast,and I felt a little embarrassed (尷尬的) that I was more than 50years younger than he and I couldn't even keep up with him.But then I realized something.He was running his race and I was running mine.How often in life do we compare(比較) ourselves to others when we really shouldn't?I decided that I would not give up on running races,and that one day I would be one of those 70yearolds who were still running.
As I crossed the finishing line,I was proud of myself.I didn't regret (后悔) having such an experience.

52.What did the writer do at a local race as a volunteer?C
A.He helped old runners.
B.He cheered up the runners.
C.He passed out water to the runners.
D.He took back the cups from the runners.
53.Why did the writer join the race?A
A.He just wanted to experience.B.He was crazy about running.
C.He had practiced running very hard.D.He wanted very much to win a prize.
54.How did the writer's feeling change after running about 5miles?C
①He regretted.
②He encouraged himself.
③He felt a little embarrassed.
A.①-②-③B.②-①-③C.①-③-②D.②-③-①

1.Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets?For years,scientists said"no."or"we don't know."But today this is changing.Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文學(xué)家).They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe.They also think we sill soon contact these beings(人;生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets?The first reason is time.Scientists believe the universe is about 12billion years old."This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,"say Shostak and Barnett.The second reason is size-the universe is huge."Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望遠鏡) have shown that there are at least 100billion galaxies,"says Shostak."And our galaxy,the Milky Way,has at least 100billion stars.Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."
In the past,it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe.But now,powerful telescopes(高倍望遠鏡) allow scientists to discover smaller planets-the size of Mars or Earth-in other solar systems.These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth?"Probably not,"says Shostak."It's a long way away.However,intelligent beings may contact us in other way,such as radio signals(信號).In fact,they may be trying to communicate with us now,but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages.However,this is changing.By 2025,we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other."

A.There were not any smaller planets.
B.There were not any powerful telescopes.
C.The astronomers were not interested in them.

   Just like his medicines strengthened him physically,these"emotional vitamins"would improve his health,too.Several weeks later,in one of our regular phone calls,I asked Dad how he was going.He said,"Pretty good.I just found your note under my pillow up stairs!"
