This happened in London. It was November and the weather was very wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold.

“But where is your cow?”
“It’s here!” answered the Frenchman. He put his hand on his chest (胸口) and began to cough. “Here it is,” he said, “I’ve a very bad ‘cow’ here.”

This year COVID-19 killed many people in India. And millions of people lost their jobs in India, including Mohan—the father of a 15-year-old girl named Kumari. They had no money for the food and house, so the landlord (房东) asked them to leave. Kumari and her father’s only hope was to return to their home village in Bihar, which was more than 700 miles away.
Mohan was not able to walk to the railway station because of an injury from a traffic accident. They spent most of their money buying a pink bike and started to go to their home village on May 8th.

One truck driver even gave the father and daughter a ride for 30 miles.
Kumari tried her best to ride, and finally they arrived at the village on May 15th and got together with their family. The story of this brave girl has moved the hearts of many people. Kumari has been invited to join the Indian cyclist team in the 2024 and 2028 Olympics and has also got an invitation to star as herself in a coming movie.

Lee remembers clearly the first time he went to meet his piano teacher. “My teacher said, ‘You are too old to start now.’ I said, ‘I’m not old. I really want to play the piano.’ After he watched me play, he said, ‘You are good. I will teach you.’” Lee told the media (媒体).
When a reporter asked Lee, “What advice (建议) would you like to share with other young pianists?”
Lee answered, “Music is a great gift. You should love it with all your heart.”

School dances in American schools are very popular and exciting.
A more popular name for a school dance is a “sock hop”. At my school, dances usually take place in the school gym. The floor of the gym is made of wood. A wooden floor is easily broken by shoes. So at the school dance, students must remove their shoes and dance in only their socks. That’s why a dance is often called a “sock hop”.
High school students enjoy sock hop. Once a month the student council (委员会) will organize a sock hop. It starts after school at 3: 30 p. m. and lasts until 5: 00 p. m. Every new school term the student council will organize an evening sock hop. It starts at 7: 00 p. m. and ends at 10: 00 p. m.
During the sock hop the student council sells safe drinks, hot dogs and bread. The money got at the sock hop goes towards buying new school things.
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
52．A “sock hop” means that the dancers in the school get together.
53．The students can’t walk on the floor of the gym before they take off their shoes.

An old man, who works to build houses, was ready to retire. The employer(雇主) was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house.
The old man said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials. It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the old man finished his work and the employer came to see the house, the employer handed the front door key to the old man. “This is your house, my gift to you.”
What a shock! What a shame! If the old man had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted(不专注的) way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.
It is the only life you will ever have. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity(尊严).
The sentence on the wall reads, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of (1)________(n.) in the past. Your life tomorrow will be (2)________.
61．What did the old man’s employer ask him to do before he retired?
________________
62．The old man put all his heart in his last work, didn’t he?
________________
63．How did the old man feel when he realized that the last house he built was his home?
________________
64．Why does every day deserve to be lived with dignity?
________________
65．What can be filled (in the first line with at least a noun and the second line with proper meaning)for the last paragraph?

Music plays an important role in everyone's life. Good music can make people forget their troubles and resonate with the listeners. That’s why I like listening to music.
Among all kinds of music, I like pop music best. Whenever I feel sad or encounter difficulties, it softens my mind with its gentle tone and melodic melody. Angela Chang is my favorite pop singer. Most of her songs are inspirational and encourage us to cheer up from failure. One of my favorite songs of hers is Invisible Wings. When I failed in the exam, I would play this song to encourage myself to continue to work hard.
Music can penetrate to the innermost depths of the human heart with its strongest power. I can find myself by listening to music, it will be the best friend of my life.

Mozart
Mozart was a very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six he played not only the piano, but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of beautiful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.

This happened in London. It was November and the weather was very wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold. He coughed day and night, so he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough. As he did not know much English, he took out his dictionary and looked up the word “cough”. But the dictionary did not tell him how to pronounce (发音) the word. He thought it over and remembered that he had learned the word “plough”. He remembered that it was pronounced [plau]. So he thought that c-o-u-g-h must be pronounced [kau].
Then he put on his coat and hat and went to a chemist’s shop (药店). When the man in the shop asked him what he wanted, the Frenchman said, “I want something for my ‘COW’, please.” The man in the shop looked at him. Had he heard him correctly?
“I beg your pardon, sir?” he asked.
The Frenchman repeated, “I want some medicine for my ‘COW’.”
“For your cow?” asked the man, “Are you a farmer?”
“A farmer?” said the Frenchman in surprise, “What makes you think I’m a farmer? I come from Paris. I’m not a farmer.”
“But where is your cow?”
“It’s here!” answered the Frenchman. He put his hand on his chest (胸口) and began to cough. “Here it is,” he said, “I’ve a very bad ‘cow’ here.”
Then the man in the shop understood what the Frenchman meant. He wanted some medicine for his cough.

This year COVID-19 killed many people in India. And millions of people lost their jobs in India, including Mohan—the father of a 15-year-old girl named Kumari. They had no money for the food and house, so the landlord (房东) asked them to leave. Kumari and her father’s only hope was to return to their home village in Bihar, which was more than 700 miles away.
Mohan was not able to walk to the railway station because of an injury from a traffic accident. They spent most of their money buying a pink bike and started to go to their home village on May 8th.
Kumari would stand and pedal in the front while her father would sit on the bicycle’s seat with heavy bags on the bicycle’s back. They traveled more than 100 miles a day and only stopped at gas stations to sleep at night. Along the way, they met kind strangers who gave them food. One truck driver even gave the father and daughter a ride for 30 miles.
Kumari tried her best to ride, and finally they arrived at the village on May 15th and got together with their family. The story of this brave girl has moved the hearts of many people. Kumari has been invited to join the Indian cyclist team in the 2024 and 2028 Olympics and has also got an invitation to star as herself in a coming movie.

D．To remind readers that some workers are richer than Kumari.

三、阅读判断
At the age of 18, Lee became the youngest pianist (钢琴家) to win first prize (奖) in the International Chopin Piano Competition (国际肖邦钢琴比赛). For this, he became famous (著名的) as the “Chinese Chopin”.
“Winning that prize meant (意味) a lot to me as a pianist,” said Lee.
Lee started to learn to play the piano when he was seven years old. Usually, children start to learn to play the piano at a much younger age. But because of his amazing talent (天赋), he was quickly able to make up for (弥补) the lost time.
Lee remembers clearly the first time he went to meet his piano teacher. “My teacher said, ‘You are too old to start now.’ I said, ‘I’m not old. I really want to play the piano.’ After he watched me play, he said, ‘You are good. I will teach you.’” Lee told the media (媒体).

School dances in American schools are very popular and exciting.
A more popular name for a school dance is a “sock hop”. At my school, dances usually take place in the school gym. The floor of the gym is made of wood. A wooden floor is easily broken by shoes. So at the school dance, students must remove their shoes and dance in only their socks. That’s why a dance is often called a “sock hop”.
High school students enjoy sock hop. Once a month the student council (委员会) will organize a sock hop. It starts after school at 3: 30 p. m. and lasts until 5: 00 p. m. Every new school term the student council will organize an evening sock hop. It starts at 7: 00 p. m. and ends at 10: 00 p. m.
During the sock hop the student council sells safe drinks, hot dogs and bread. The money got at the sock hop goes towards buying new school things.
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
52．A “sock hop” means that the dancers in the school get together.
53．The students can’t walk on the floor of the gym before they take off their shoes.
54．The students enjoy themselves at sock hops.
55．An evening sock hop takes place once a month every school term.

One Saturday, Jay and his friends Mike and Tony were riding their dirty bikes on a cross-country path. They stopped to climb a tree and found a comfortable branch to sit on. At that time, Jay noticed something shiny on the ground.
They jumped down and went to take a closer look. It was a wallet with five hundred dollars inside. Mike immediately said, “Fantastic! We can divide the money into three parts, and we will each be closer to buying the newer bike we want.”
“Not so fast,” said Tony. “Jay was the one who found the first. He should get more than us.” “Are you crazy?” asked Jay, “We can’t keep the money. It isn’t ours.”
“Stop being such a supporter for honesty,” complained Mike and Tony.
“Whoever lost the money should learn a lesson about walking around with that much money,” added Mike.
“Let’s all go home and think about this,” said Jay. Mike and Tony agreed. Jay kept the money, and they decided to meet again after dinner.
Mike and Tony rode home most of the way together. They were to talk more without Jay. However, the more they talked, the more they saw Jay’s point. They also thought about how worried they would be if they had dropped and lost something that was important to them.

An old man, who works to build houses, was ready to retire. The employer(雇主) was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house.
The old man said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials. It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the old man finished his work and the employer came to see the house, the employer handed the front door key to the old man. “This is your house, my gift to you.”
What a shock! What a shame! If the old man had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted(不专注的) way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.
It is the only life you will ever have. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity(尊严).
The sentence on the wall reads, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of (1)________(n.) in the past. Your life tomorrow will be (2)________.
61．What did the old man’s employer ask him to do before he retired?
________________
62．The old man put all his heart in his last work, didn’t he?
________________
63．How did the old man feel when he realized that the last house he built was his home?
________________
64．Why does every day deserve to be lived with dignity?
________________
65．What can be filled (in the first line with at least a noun and the second line with proper meaning)for the last paragraph?
Your life today is the result of ________ (n.) in the past.
Your life tomorrow will be ________.

Most of her songs are inspirational and encourage us to cheer up from failure. One of my favorite songs of hers is Invisible Wings. When I failed in the exam, I would play this song to encourage myself to continue to work hard.
Music can penetrate to the innermost depths of the human heart with its strongest power. I can find myself by listening to music, it will be the best friend of my life.

Mozart
Mozart was a very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six he played not only the piano, but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of beautiful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.
