Little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert.“And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith, asked if she’d like a job. She needed to start     41     for college, so she said yes.

Gloria worked after school and during summer holidays, and the job helped pay for her first year of college.

But     42     books was one of the most satisfying jobs.

After the story was broadcast, some doctors called, offering to perform the operation     45    .

Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to raise his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!

At Smith’s bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the programmes, helping them understand the     46     better.

Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词， 使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

My neighbor, Mrs Lee, hurt her back recently so I spent this afternoon helping her tidy up. Afterwards, she offered me some soya milk. I noticed that its packaging was very fashionable and a    47    . “Thanks, Mrs Lee. Can you tell me where you got it?” I asked. “Oh, it’s from farmfresh330,” she replied with a smile. “I like helping people in need.”

Some days later, I googled farmfresh330 to find out more. It is a food shop that opened in 2011 as a social company. Like charities, social companies help with social problems like poverty. However, unlike charities, they don’t rely on donations(募捐) . I    48    , they sell products to support themselves. The p    49     of farmfresh330 is to offer training and jobs to people recovering from mental illnesses such as depression.

At farmfresh330, you can buy organic fruits and vegetables. These are p    50     by Hong Kong’s New Life Farm, another social company helping people with mental health problems. They sell lots of other things, too. In the website photos, there’re many great products to c    51     from such as watermelon-flavoured coconut milk and lemongrass tea. Someday I’d like to visit one of farmfresh330’s shops. They look very welcoming, with wooden shelves, warm lighting, and friendly blackboard m    52     telling customers about new products.

After googling the web, I discovered a lot of other social companies in Hong Kong. I’m planning to visit them soon. I think it’s going to be f    53     to support Hong Kong’s social companies.

八、阅读回答问题

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! In Poland the population is also falling because people are leaving to work in other countries.

One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude to children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Galina, a doctor from Moscow. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said 19-year-old student Hana from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18—24-year-old women everywhere in Europe.

In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy.

Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child.

阅读短文，回答下列问题。

54．How many children does Galina want to have?

55．Hana doesn’t want to have any children at all, does she?

56．Why is the population in Poland going down?

57．How does the French government encourage people to have larger families now?

58．What’s the main idea of this passage?
