When we were saying goodbye, I suddenly felt afraid that I had never hadbefore. This was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. And going to a far-away place I have never been before made me feel terrible. I held back my tears until I could no longer see my parents. As I was wiping away（擦去）my tears, I realizedthat, from that moment on, I would have to doeverything by myself.After my arrival in Wellington, my teacher, Ms. Lang, showed me around my new school.A few days later, I started having classes. There were only 20 students in each class.Only maths, science, social studies（社会学）and English were pulsory, and students could choose other subjects for themselves, I chose music, Japanese and health.In New Zealand, students are very active in class.

The school had an easy manner, with few rule s.Because there was no homework, we could join clubsor do anything we liked. I always went to the library after school, where I found a lot of books to help with my studies.Studying in New Zealand is very different from studying in China. In New Zealand, studentsdepend onthe library to gain knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers ask them to do.Time went fast. The two months after I arrived flew by. Then a week of exams began.I did not have to take these exams, because I had only been at the school for a short time. However, my maths teacher encouragedme to take the maths exam, as she thought I could do well. Though there wasn’t much pressureon me, I worked very hard to get ready for the exam because I know that no pain means no gain.When the day of the exam came, I found that I finished the paper faster than the other students. One week later, my teacher told the whole class who had got the top mark: It was me!I got 94 percent.All my classmates were very happy and said congratulations to me. It was one of the happiest days of my life43.

Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake’s mouth.It was a fearless mother’s love that made Lisa forgot what she faced. She took up an old hatchet from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.One, two, with the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of solid rubber. The little boy’s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa’s heart was broken and she nearly went mad. Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened hermouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a touch steak. Lisa was really mad.A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake’s body madly and savagely.S tinking blood was spraying out of the snake’s body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp teeth.

Even if she did not use the hatchet again, the snake would still be killed.CThirty- two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right below their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fello wman? “Not so,”say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to research into the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency（紧急情况）. Suppose you see a middle aged man fall to the side - walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a a（昏迷） from a headache? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke ing into the room from a leak（漏洞） in the air conditioning? Is it “steam pipes”? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. Second, and more important, the person facedwith an emergency must feel personally responsible（负责任的）. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested.”Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The researchers started them off on the “tests.”Then they went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room”and the room into which they went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of book shelves falling and a cry for help. All of this had been prerecorded on a tape recorder. Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were shocked, they sweated, and they had trembling hands. They felt th e other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.53．The purpose of this passage is ________.A. to explain why people fail to act in emergenciesB. to explain when people will act in emergenciesC. to explain what people will do in emergenciesD. to explain how people feel in emergencies54．Which of the following is NOT true?A.

A person with a heart attack needs the most.55．The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that ________.A. they are afraid of emergenciesB. they are not willing to get themselves involvedC. others will act if they themselves hesitateD. they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help 56．The author suggests that ________.A. we shouldn’t blame a person if he fails to act in emergenciesB. a person must feel guilty if he fails to helpC. people should be responsible for themselves in emergenciesD. when you are in trouble, people will help you anywayD在下列57—61题中，Bobby, Maria, Andrew, Lucy和Scott正在寻找适合自己的大学。
