   Bridge of Hope School is a private school. It was set up in Kalangala about two years ago.  Unlike government schools, which have very large classes of 90 children , many of whom do not want to learn, Bridge has small classes, so pupils get a great deal of attention. Small classes are good for teaching, but the school is always having difficulty with money since private schools are dependent on parents paying on time.

   The school has five primary classes and three nursery classes(幼兒班). As the children progress through the school they will add another class next year. The total number of children in the primary is about 50. The parents of Bridge children are often higher earners than those that attend government schools. They want their children to have the best education available.

   The school is not yet finished. The classrooms have no windows or doors. But it is very formal and insists on children wearing uniforms(制服).Discipline is strict and the children are well-behaved. Only English may be spoken and not the local language. Although English is the national language and the language of education, government schools teach in their own language for the first three years.

   School starts at 7 am and the children have to be on time. Classes are formal, but children have to copy lots of things from the blackboard, because there are few textbooks, sometimes only one for the teacher to use. Class work is heavy and the children have tests every week. They also study during the holiday.

   Some people may say a hero is someone older than you, someone you personally know, someone who has done something everyone knows about, etc. I don’t think a hero necessarily has to be an older person or a close friend or a family member. My hero is younger than me, but we are related. His name is Marcus. He is my cousin. He isn’t necessarily a wise person or someone who does something great every day, but he has taught me to appreciate some of the simple things in life.

   I am now in 11th grade. When I was in 8th grade, Marcus had a brain tumor (腦瘤) which had to be removed. Thankfully the tumor was benign (良性的). When the doctors removed it Marcus lost his sight. He felt down only once. Ever since then, he has been an extremely happy second-grader. He is very typical of a nine-year-old. He likes to tell jokes, play new games, and he likes to play tricks on people, just like children at his age. I love spending time with him. We go to movies whenever there is a good one and look after him every chance I get.

   I say that Marcus helps to appreciate the simple thing in life. He doesn’t have his sight and that causes me to realize how lucky I am to be able to see, to walk, and to talk. I can do everything I need to. If everyone could see how happy and satisfied Marcus is and how much he makes everyone around him happy, then they might just be able to better appreciate the simple things in life.

59. It can be inferred that the author has_______________.

  A. the same idea about heroes as others

  B. a different idea about heroes from others

  C. the idea that a hero must be older

  D. the idea that a hero must be a close friend

  A. Because his cousin is a very wise person..

  B. Because his cousin does great things every day.

  C. Because his cousin teaches him how to enjoy a simple life.

  D. Because his cousin teaches him to live a rich life.

61. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

  A. Marcus looks older than his age.

  B. Marcus isn’t nine years old at all.

  C. Marcus is different from the other students.

  D. Marcus is the same as the other children at his age.

62. What makes the author think himself lucky?

  A. Marcus’ simple life.         B. Marcus’ serious illness.

  C. Marcus’ blindness.          D. Marcus’ recovery.
