Some say everyday miracles(奇跡) are predestined(注定的)----the right time for the appointed meeting．And it can happen anywhere．

In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York．It was an early evening in late July．Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game．Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give．The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest．His heart stopped．

When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid．Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift(換班)at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance．She was given the night off．Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and givinging chest compressions．And he revived in the end．

After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life．He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time．

Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table．He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat．She was choking．

Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands．Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts．The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed．The color began to return to her face．

"The food was stuck．I couldn't breathe," she said．She thought she was dying．"I was very frightened．"

A

Years of storms had taken their toll on the old windmill（風(fēng)車）. Its wheel, rusted and fallen, lay silent in the lush bluegrass.

　　I hadn‘t walked across our old farm in fifteen years. Fifteen years ago，rain or shine, I used to walk this path each day to see Greta. She always made me smile, even after my sister and I had just had a big quarrel. I would help Greta with her chores. Then we would enjoy her delicious homemade chocolate cookies and ice cream. Being confined to a wheel chair didn‘t stop Greta from being a great cook.

　　Greta gave me two of the greatest gifts I‘ve ever received. First, she taught me how to read. She also taught me that when I forgave Sister for our quarrels, it meant I wouldn‘t keep feeling like a victim(受害者). Instead, I would feel sunny.

　　Mr. Dinking, the local banker, tried to foreclose on Greta‘s house and land after her husband passed away. Thanks to Pa and Uncle Johan, Greta got to keep everything. Pa said that it was the least he could do for someone talented enough to teach me to read!

　　Soon folks were coming from miles around to buy Greta‘s homemade cakes, pies, breads, cookies, cider, and ice cream. Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr. Dinking who became one of her best customers and friends. That‘s just what Greta was.  She could turn anyone into a friend!

　　Greta always said, "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!" No matter how terrible my day started, I always felt sunny walking home from Greta‘s house---even beneath the winter starlight.

　　I arrived at Greta‘s house today just after sunset. An ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door, its red lights flashing. When I ran into the old house, Greta recognized me right away.

　　She smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes. She was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm. Her last words to me were "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!"

56. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. What Greta taught me              B. Greta would never die

A. She was kind and forgiving         B. She was rich and generous

A. Greta could treat the author with delicious food

B. Greta could give the author comfort

C. the author could learn how to read from Greta

D. the author could learn something valuable from Greta

59. What can we learn from the passage?

第二節(jié)：任務(wù)型閱讀（共5小題，每題2分，滿分10分）

       根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A-F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項有一項為多余選項。

       A．Join learning communities and help each other．

       B．Expect problems, never be disappointed, and gradually you 'll make it ．

       C．Anytime is learning time．

       D．Get interested and arouse your desire for knowledge．

       E．Cover the same ground from different angles．

       F．Try to be a good and effective learner．

       As a student, how we can learn our lessons effectively is a common problem which is always puzzling us．If you follow suggestions below, I'm sure you'll find the solution easily．

61．______

Your interest in the subject is the essential driver of success．You can' t learn what you do not want to learn．Emotion is an important part of the learning process．If you are even moderately interested in a subject, give yourself a chance．The key is to get started．If you can create some pleasurable routines, you may find that the subject grows on you．You must always rem learning is just like eating．You don' t expect to enjoy your food without appetite．Therefore, you should always try to arouse your interest and desire for knowledge if you want to leam well．

62．__________

       Don't expect to understand things, or remember too much, the first time you study them．Think about what problem you will meet with in your study, so that you are well -prepared for it．Never be disappointed no matter what happens．Trust that things will get clearer as your brain comes to grips （理解） with new information．It is like a jig - saw puzzle or a cross - word puzzle．As you start to put the pieces together, or string the words together, the full picture becomes clearer．The brain learns all the time, but on its own schedule．Learning does not take place according to a schedule laid down by a curriculum or teacher．Keep at it, and you will gradually find that things that seem difficult at first, will become second nature with time．

63．______

       Your brain is struggling to form patterns to cope with new input from your learning activities．Sometimes, no matter how long you focus on one subject, your brain is not going to pick it up．If you are stuck, move on．Then cover the same general information from a different source, a different book, or a blog, or an online lecture or a video．Try to become a grazing learner, wandering about the countryside, rather than a feed - lot learner, just standing there in one spot, chewing the same bale of hay．The broader your base, the easier it is to leam．Just as the "rich get richer" , the more you know, the more you can learn．

64．______

       Take full advantage of the Internet, blogs, and various mobile devices, not to mention good old-fashioned books and magazines．Learn during "dead time"．Listen in your car, on the train, or while jogging．Have your learning with you while waiting in the doctor's office, or listen while checking out at the supermarket．Anytime is learning time．Remember, you are learning through exposure, not by nailing things down．It is more like moisture accumulation in a cloud, rather than building a brick wall．

65．______

       The "loneliness of the distance learner" is a thing of the past．Join a learning community on the web, where members share their knowledge and experience．Search for the communities that suit your interests and learning style．You will find encouragement, advice and stimulus from fellow learners, as well as from tutors, teachers and coaches．In these communities, you can measure your progress against your own goals, or compare your experience with that of other learners．You can even teach and help others, which is a great way to learn．
