A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and loved the boy very much. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.
When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words. The husband just said ‘I am with you, Darling’. The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of viewpoint, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think. Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.
56.The uncapped medical bottle was not put back into the cupboard because         .
A.the husband was careless                            B.the husband was busy
C.the wife wasn’t informed of the matter   D.the wife ignored the matter
57.What do we know about the bottle?          .
A.It contained poison only for adults             B.It appeared like a nice drink
C.It was broken by the child                             D.It was kept in the kitchen
58.The husband’s attitude towards his wife can be described as           .
A.optimistic                B.confident                 C.considerate            D.generous
59.What did the writer intend to tell us about life?          .
A.Let go the negative side and we can enjoy life.
B.It is always useless finding who is responsible
C.Think of nothing and life will be easy
D.Life should give way to responsibility

Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.
The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon,on Sydney's northern beaches,around dawn when he was attacked.The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭動)about in the water,”the police said.“Fortunately,the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said,“It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.”He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore.“There was a lot of pain,as you can imagine.”The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.
Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”,but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折).He was in a stable condition now.
Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark,while the police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy.“I don't even know if he saw it,”Miller said.
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches,but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However,there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month,one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor,not far from the famous Opera House,and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach.
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor,which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment,attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish.Many shark species,including the Great White—the man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters.
【小題1】The report mainly tells us ________.

A.shark attacks on humans are on the rise
B.sharks attacked humans three times in one month
C.a(chǎn) boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
D.shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches
【小題2】The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A.a(chǎn)ttracted  B.draggedC.bitD.packed
【小題3】What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
B.Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
C.There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.
D.There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.
【小題4】About the injury of the boy we know that ________.
A.he was losing much blood when he was dragged out
B.he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital
C.he may be in danger of losing his leg
D.he was injured in the right leg
【小題5】All the following are the causes of Australia's sharks' increasing EXCEPT that ________.
A.environmental protection has created a cleaner environment
B.a(chǎn) ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers
C.many shark species are protected in Australian waters
D.the film Jaws has made the Great White famous
