I got to know this from a musical soul.The other day I was feeling quite 36 , having just been fired from my job. With so many 37 to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.I had just got off the bus 38 I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the traffic. I walked a bit slower, trying to find out the 39 of the fascinating sound. Through the passers-by I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 40 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 41 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didnt know.She might have felt my 42 for she occasionally looked in my direction.By now I was telling myself that I could 43 tell her how good she sounded. I walked over and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face. I asked her 44 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?” She explained to me that she sees so many 45 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 46 motivational(激励的) music.Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been 47 a rough time lately, but youve made me 48 again.”“Im happy that I could be 49 help to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?” I told her my story and said, “Im not so 50 about what to do.”“You see, heres 51 the problem lies,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Dont look defeated, because 52 es in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 53 more lift your head up.”Inspired by what she said, I did hold my head up and soon 54 the difficulties.

It was still miles away, but I heard it. It grew stronger and louder as it gained speed and got closer. How could that be? I wondered. We were about to grab our bikes to see what it actually was when we stopped. What looked like a flock of birds darkened the sky overhead. When I looked at it closer, I realized it wasnt birds. It was a tornado (龙卷风). The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as the air turned green and heavy. The sun disappeared. The wind strengthened and roared. I grabbed Chads arm and pulled him toward the house. I tried to open the door, but it was as if an invisible force pushed against me. The door refused to open. When we finally managed to get inside, we found it was as dark as night. Our family had practiced a tornado safety plan many times. But I had never imagined that it would be just Chad and me at home the first time we needed to use it. “Inside the closet!” I yelled. It was small and crowded, but we got in it anyway. Chad began to cry. “Its going to be all right.” I told him. But I was worried about Mom. I hope shed found a safe place to wait out the storm.The storm continued. I heard a thud on the roof. I felt the whole house shaking. Then it was quiet. I opened the door and we inched our way out of the closet. Rain had got in through the open window and wet the carpets. A kitchen window had shattered, its screen blown away. I looked at the backyard. The tree was uprooted, and broken branches lay on the ground. “Jason, I cant get service,” Chad said as he held the phone in his hand. We had no electricity, either. I glanced at the wall clock. Had it been only 20 minutes since wed first heard the thunder?Then I heard footsteps toward the house. Mom had made it home safely. “Boys!” she yelled. “Are you all right?”We ran out and hugged her. The sun came out, and this time it shone bright and clear.56. When the tornado struck, _.A. the boys felt terrified and asked for helpB. a flock of birds darkened the sky overheadC. the boys protected themselves in a safe placeD. the sound of the train grew stronger and louder57. What can we learn from the passage?A. Mom had trouble in finding the boys. B. Jason knew how to deal with a tornado.C. The tornado lasted for over half an hour.D.

BI first knew the myth(荒诞的说法)that twins e packaged as a pair more than 20 years ago in my local supermarket. As I pushed my shopping trolley(手推车)with my ten-month-old twin daughters towards a woman, she said, Which one is the good one and which one is the bad one? I was upset and hurried past. There I caught my breath, smiled at my two girlswho were busy playing with each otherand wondered how anyone could ask such a question.Since twins are born a matched set, they are often seen as symbols(象征)of the good and bad in all of us. Ancient myths and modern movies are full of situations where twins are made to represent that one is good and the other is bad.Unfortunately, most people are more familiar with twin myths than with living, breathing twins. As one mother of adult twin sons put it, I was amazed at how good both my twins were. From an early age there was so much care between them. If I offered one a biscuit, he wouldnt take it until he made sure that his brother was going to get one too. I tried, but I could never get my single-born kids to be as thoughtful about each other. She said she protected her boys from twin myths while they were growing up by giving them different names. She never dressed them alike and avoided emphasis(强调)on their twinship.While few parents believe the myth of good twin/bad twin, some fall into the trap of paring their twins personalities and abilities. Of course, there are times when any parent bees disappointed with one over the other. Wise parents keep these feelings to themselves. When they speak of differences between their twin children, they translate them into positive points and avoid negative labels(标签). Within the family, parents can control their own behavior. But theres no easy way to protect them from wrong questions and ments from their classmates, teachers, coaches and strangers. The best defense is to show a positive attitude toward twinship and about any difference between your children.59. What is the twin myth mentioned in the text? A. Twins have a lot in mon. B. Twins are always best friends. C. Theres a good twin and a bad twin in every pair. D. There are some slight differences between twins.60. The author left the woman in the supermarket in a hurry because_. A. she was in an emergency B. the woman had hurt her before C. the woman was a total strangerD. she didnt like what the woman said61. According to Paragraph3, the twin brothers_. A. have similar tastes in dresses B. love each other very much C. dislike other family kids D. have similar names62. The author advises parents to _. A. learn more about twin myths B. avoid paring their twin children C. tell their twin children their shortings D. encourage their twin children to learn from each otherCKENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida On Tuesday, SpaceX sent the Falcon Heavy rocket into orbit(轨道). The Falcon Heavy is now the most powerful rocket in the world.SpaceX is a private space pany. The pany was started by a businessman named Elon Musk. He loaded the Falcon Heavy with his own cherry-red Tesla car. The car was built by another one of his panies. He planned to send the Tesla into an orbit that would take it near Mars.Space travel in the United States used to happen only under NASA. NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Agency, which is part of the government. Unlike NASA, SpaceX is not part of the government.Thousands of people came to watch the Falcon Heavys launch(发射). The launch tookplace in Florida. It was the rockets first test. The launch was also the first time an American rocket that was not built by NASA tried to leave orbit.Experts are not sure about the Falcon Heavy. There may not be as many uses for the rocket as the pany thinks. SpaceX wanted to fly a pair of tourists around the moon. On Monday, Elon Musk went back on his word. He said the Falcon Heavy likely would never fly humans.John Logsdon is a space historian. He thinks the Falcon Heavy will make people excited about space again. NASA ended its space shuttle program in xx. Since then, space programs have stayed close to Earth.

SpaceX is trying to make space travel cheaper.For years, NASA has also been working to build the Space Launch System. It would be an even more powerful rocket than the Falcon Heavy.

What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. NASAs Space Launch System is too expensive. B. Both systems have disadvantages to overe.C. NASAs Space Launch System is more powerful.D. The Falcon Heavy is better than the Space Launch System.DRecent months have seen a revival of the bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing systems has brought the trend（趋势）to a new level.Many cities in China have government-run bike-rental programs, but Mobike and Ofo have made things so much easier as users can borrow and return bikes, which are equipped with GPS systems, with just a smart phone. No plicated（复杂的）procedure, such as going to a specific place to pay a deposit（定金）, is required.“Right now, we are transporting more people than taxis in China in many cities,” Mobike CEO Davis Wang said recently at Fortunes Brainstorm Tech conference. “And in some cities, for example in Chengdu, we are transporting more people than the
