It was obvious that the duck missed his family very much upon his arrival. Left to himself, he would at once turn his head homeward. I tried to shut him together with other ducks for several days, but with no use at all. There seemed to be but one thought in the mind of him, and that was home.So I decided to let him out, but I kept about fifty yards behind him. I followed, thinking he would soon lose his way and came back. But he seemed to have an exact map of the country in his mind. Soon he met a dog. He paused and looked at the animal for a moment, and then turned to the right along a road which led to a railroad station. He had now gone about half the distance, and was getting tired. A little pool of water by the roadside caught his eyes. Into it he bathed, drank, and rested for a few moments, and then started homeward again. For a while, he realized that he had got into the wrong direction, and turned his face southward again. Finally we came in sight of the home path, which led up to the farmhouse.It was now nearly night and I had no time to watch the experiment further. But as he neared the path he seemed suddenly to see some familiar things, and rushed at the top of his speed. I followed close behind. Into the house yard he rushed with uplifted wings as if he was eagerly telling his partners the story of his adventures.56. What does the author think about the duck?A. Interesting and careful.B. Curious and enthusiastic(热情的).C. Intelligent（聪明的）and determined（意志坚定的）.D. Brave and experienced.57. As soon as the duck arrived at a new place, he seemed ________ .A.gladB.nervouC.tiredD. homesick58.

What’s the purpose of the writer’s writing the text?A. To share us a duck’s interesting trip.B. To present his opinions about a duck’s remarkable （非凡的）experience.C. To express his curiosity about a duck’s interesting trip.D. To examine why a duck would like to rush on its own.（B）Once there was a piano player in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song."I don't sing," said the man.But the lady told the waiter, "I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!The waiter shouted across the room, "Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!'So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.You, too, have skills and abilities.

But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his par ents. “The door to his room is always shut. ” Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk, ” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which. ”Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list. ” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years. ”Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last. ”Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is thatto be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.63. “The door to his room is always shut”sugge sts that the son _______ .A. is always busy with his studiesB. doesn’t want to be disturbedC. keeps himself away from his parentsD. begins to dislike his parents64.

Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.（D）I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court(法庭).After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished（吃惊）. He had good reason to charge me, he said.

And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all.
