Our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zooNot surprising, I never did make it back to college full-timeBut I never gave up on the dream eitherI had only one choice: to find a wayThat meant talking as few as one class each semesterThe hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boysThey often wanted me to stay home with themThere certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their livesIn 2007, I graduated from the University of North CarolinaIt took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-mindedIt always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normalEverything you want wont arrive in your life on one dayIts a processRemember: little steps add up to big dreams61When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be .Aa judgeBa teacherCa writerDa doctor62Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?AShe wanted to study by herselfBShe decided to look after her grandmaCShe suffered from a serious illnessDShe fell in love and got married63What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?AShe was buy yet happy with her family lifeBShe ignored her guilty feeling for her sonsCShe wanted to remain a full-time housewifeDShe was too confused to make a correct choice64What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?AFailure is the mother of successBLittle by little ,one goes farCEvery coin has two sidesDWell begun ,half done65Which of the following can best describe the author ?ACaring and determineBHonest and responsibleCAmbitious and sensitiveDInnocent and single-mindedBIt was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning. Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today. My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Lets take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”On the way we met Mrs. Patric, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls. There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps its like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly. It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the housed. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didnt mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”“I cant go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when Im through Ill be too tired to walk that far.” My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “Its a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet theres a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “Youre right, its too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of - what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile sipped out from his lips. “Do you remember - no, of course you wouldnt. It probably didnt make the impression on you as it did on me.” I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when things werent too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”66. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought_.A. she was too old to fly kites B. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her housework thenD. her girls were not supposed to play the boys game67.

Manufacturing industry in information economyB. News in the age of informationC. Argument about individual accounts and their reliabilityD. Be your own investigative journalistE. Dont believe everything you read in the newspaperF. Information is presented in an interesting way71. _With the arrival of the age of “information economy”, intellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing. Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them. A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists. In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson.72. _There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspapers owner, Lord Copper. The editors can never disagree with him. When he is right about something they answer “definitely”, and when hes wrong, they say “to some extent, Lord Copper.” It seems reasonable to suppose that , in the real world , the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them.73. _In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising. The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings. I suspect that some stories get
