He had little school education. Though he had littleschool education, he became the most famous writer of his time. He m ade millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorn e Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as MarkTwain, his penname.Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to livethrough the first winter. But with his mother's tender care, he manag ed to survive. As a boy, he causedmuch trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all of his friends and neighbors. He didn't like to go to school, and he cons tantly ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the n earbyMississippi. He was nearly drowned nine times.After his father's death in 1847, Mark twain began to work for a printer, who only provided himwith food and clothing. Then, he worked as a river-boat pilot (领航员)and later joinedthe army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this pe riod, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full-time writer.In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he w rote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him a great fortune.Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments（投资）and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died and then one of their children passedaway.At the age of 70, his hair was completely white. He bought many white suits and neckties. Hewore nothing but white from head to foot until his death on April 2 1, 1910.51.

He suddenly foundhimself at twenty-four the most famous novelist of his day. Busy as his social life was, he worked on two novels at the same time－Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers. He was particularly proud of Pickwick, which was a huge success and was regarded as a comedy (喜剧)masterpiece(杰作). “If I were to live a hundred years and write novels in each, I should never be so proud of any of them as I am proud of Pickwick Papers,”he said.It has been said of Dickens that he grasped（抓住）the imagination of his readers because his imagination grasped himself. The people in his works were so real that they could make him laugh or cry. When writing Oliver Twist he said that he could not rest until Fagin, the wrongdoer(做坏事的人), had been hanged.Dickens’ marriage to Catherine Hagarth, with whom he had nine children, ended unhappily in 1858. He started to travel about giving readings of his works. His interest in theater gave his novels the qualities that made them suitable for reading aloud on the stage. A tiring travel to the United States affected his health. On June 9, 1870, when he was working on a new novel, he died, as he had wished. He said he wanted to die working.55. Dickens became a famous novelist .A. because his social workB. with the success of Pickwick PapersC. because he was writing two novels at the same timeD. when he began to give readings of his works56. According to this passage, we know that Dickens .A. was only interested in writing novelsB. didn’t like Oliver TwistC. wished to live one hundred years and write three novels in eachD. didn’t think he could write a better novel than Pick wick Papers in his life57.

Dickens had a happy marriage to Catherine HagarthB. Dickens was a successful actorC. Dickens’ death had little to do with his hard workD. Dickens had wished to die in the course of his workCNutrition influences not only students' grades at school but their growth and development. Improper nutrition is one of the causes of childhood obesity. What can you do to help your child avoid childhood obesity?My first piece of advice is to look in your fridge. What are you buying at the grocery store? Think about it: if you don't buy junk food or snacks, your kids won't eat them at home. Now if you're like me — both of your kids are at school, you'll know you can't police them every second of the day. This is the time when you'll need to talk to your children about their food choices. If you don't know the right food choices, there are so many free resources on-line to guide you.Try new things. I was very surprised to find out my 4-year-old daughter likes balsamic vinegar —she calls it the "black sauce". She likes to have it with tomatoes and cucumbers. You just never know what your kids might like.Don't get stressed if you can't always prepare something healthy. You may sometimes leave the house and forget to take something out for dinner, or you are running late and there's no time to cook before you have to take one of the kids somewhere. However, you can still make healthy choices while dining out. Many of thefast food restaurants offer fruit and milk instead of soda. I like to buy organic frozen pizzas from the organic market — for a quick dinner solution(解决办法). All the ingredients are natural. What I do is to serve the pizza with something raw: lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, or fruit to try to give the kids something healthy with that meal.In closing, take baby steps. Don't try to change your family's eating habits in one go, or you'll go nuts.59. This passage is written mainly to usA. explain why today’s kids are overweightB. tell us the importance of healthy eatingC. give parents some healthy eating tipsD. teach parents what to cook at home60. The writer believes it is very important for parents toA. make sure their fridge is full of food.B. teach their children how to eat healthilyC. check their children’s grades at schoolD. provide their children with their favorite food61. Paragraph 4 tells parents they should .A. never take their kids to a fast food restaurantB. eat out in a nice restaurant with their kids at timesC. choose healthy food while eating out with their kidsD. cook healthy food for their kids however busy they are62. According to the passage, it does NOT seem to be a good idea to .A. tell children what to eat at schoolB. find free resources on healthy eating onlineC. put balsamic vinegar on tomatoes or cucumbersD. try to change a family’s eating habits in a very short timeDShe took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span（寿命）? If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond?Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers. “Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135, ”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. “People can live much longer than we think, ”he says. “Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can’t we go higher? ”The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing. “Anyone can make up a number, ”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. “Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine. ”Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller, “adding another 50 percent would get you to 120. ”So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible（有弹性的）, but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington. “We can get flies to live 50 percent longer, ”he says.“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years. ”Of course, if you became a new species （物种）, one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve （进化）their way to longer life? “It’s pretty cool to think about, ”he says with a smile.63. What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?A. People can live to 122.B. Old people are creative.C. Women are sporty at 85.D. Women live longer than men.64. According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas, ______.A. the average human life span could be 110B. scientists cannot find ways to slow agingC. few people can expect to live to over 150D. researchers are not sure how long people can live65. Who would agree that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guessat longevity?A. Jerry Shay.B. Steve AustadC. Rich MillerD. George Martin66. What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?A. Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.B. The average human life span cannot be doubledC. Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before.D. New techniques could be used to change flies into a new speciesEThere is no doubt that to study abroad gives you an excellent opportunity to learn things which are very helpful in your career building.
