To me, the best lesson that Pumbaa and Timon have taught us is that 40 they know they are ordinary and their life is ordinary, they still love and 41 it.In fact, in the real world, only quite a few people can accomplish great things and become 42 , and the rest of us will just live our ordinary life.

My 8-year-old son, Ben, was sitting in the back seat of the car. He said to me on our way to the school, “Mommy, I saw an advertisement on TV last night that said someone grew a big squash(南瓜). He took the squash to the homeless shelter (庇护所) and it fed 20 people. So I was thinking, if one squash could feed 20 people, imagine what two squashes could do? Our school has a big grass area; maybe they will plant some trees and give the fruit to the hungry. Then, there will be fewer people in the world who are hungry.”I was moved by the words from a childs mouth, and just said that he was right, and that it was a wonderful idea.When we arrived at class he walked right up to the teacher and made his suggestion. To my surprise the teacher refused his suggestion, saying she couldnt decide this. The next day he asked me to go to his school again. After we arrived there, he walked into the school headmasters office and made his suggestion, and was repulsed. I felt so bad for him, and took him aside to talk it through. He was just like an adult and said, “Well, just because they dont see it now, we can show them by example: We have a big backyard; can we grow some vegetables and fruit and give them to the hungry?” “Sure,” I said. “That is a wonderful idea.” I am so proud of my little son. What a wonderfully open heart! Thank you for producing these good advertisements. My son is just one child who is listening to the message and then passing it on to others. 56. Ben had the idea of planting some fruit trees because _.A. the author asked him to do so in his free timeB. he wanted to make money to support his familyC. he saw an advertisement on TV one nightD. he found his family liked eating all kinds of fruits57. What can we learn from the passage? A. Neither the teacher nor the headmaster liked Ben. B. The advertisement was aimed at people who wanted to buy the squash. C. The author didnt understand why Ben had that idea. D. The advertisement Ben saw was a public-interest advertisement.58. Where did Ben want to plant fruit trees at first? A. In the grass area of his school. B. In the backyard of his home. C. In the field beside his house. D. In the place around his school.59. The underlined word “repulsed” in Paragraph3 means _. A. accepted B. refused C. welcomed D. punishedB Times use their own online news to increase their profits (利润). As yet, they havent figured out a smooth and sure way to do that. So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers wont even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money, it will be too late too late to notice the reduction in the number of readers. The other big cuts, of course, are in staff (员工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them, there is also a lot of talent. When experienced staff leave in large numbers as they often do now the newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights (见识) that only the experienced reporters can bring. As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign: intelligent young people will continue to flood into journalism in urgent search of jobs, despite its high demands and low pay. 60.The underlined word “deadwood” (in Paragraph 2) may refer to “_”.A. the staff who are going to retireB. workers who are experiencedC. people who are no longer useful or neededD. reporters who are tired of covering events61.Who will be the real loser if newspapers lose according to the passage?A. Publishers. B. Readers. C. Editors. D. Writers.62. What can we learn from the passage?A. All the medium could report news deeply.B. The editors and publishers have found a good way to make huge profits.C. The cuts in newspapers size would reduce the number of readers.D. Online news has no threat to the newspaper.CA 51-year-old lawyer has moved back to stay with his mother after giving up his Los Angeles home to a family of strangers for a year.Tony Tolbert looked for a family in need after his father set a good example when he was growing up by always welcoming people to stay in their spare room. “You dont have to be Bill Gates or Warren Buffet or Oprah,” Tolbert toldCBS. “We can do it wherever we are, with whatever we have, and for me, I have a house that I can use.” His mother, Marie Tolbert, added, “He is so kind and hes always been helping others.”Tolbert went to Alexandria House, a shelter for homeless women and children, and came across Felicia Dukes, who lived in a single bedroom with three of her children. Her family had been separated as the shelter was just for children and her eldest son was unable to join them. Tolbert told the staff that he wanted to bring the family back together, and offered them his home.The family has now moved into the three-bedroom, two-bathroom homewith Felicia Dukes oldest son. It is worth nearly $400,000, according to online estimates (评估). “I am so excited,” Felicia Dukes said, as she wiped away her tears.

But as a roofer, he suffered serious head injuries when he fell down from the roof.

D Britains railway is second to none，with no shortage of attractive journeys，from the delights of day trips from London，to further trips to discover the pastoral areas of England，castles and unspoiled countryside in Wales，or the scenic splendor of the lowlands and highlands of Scotland. And since British trains dont require reservations，you can board any train as long as you have a valid ticket or rail pass. Traveling with a rail pass is easy and affordable. Review the BritRail Pass options and select one that matches your schedules. Train travel is also usually faster，safer，and less stressful than the alternatives. Plus，there are convenient，frequent departures and comfortable trains between all of Englands main cities. London，Manchester，York，Chester and Birmingham provide easy connections，as well as linking to Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland，and Cardiff in Wales. Travel out of London for a great day trip to the mysterious Stonehenge，literary Stratford-upon-Avon，or soothing Bath in as little as an hour-and-a-half. A beautiful train ride from London will take you to the glorious，mountainous Lake District in Northern England, home to an outstanding National Park with amazing scenery and an idyllic(田园的)way of life. Or travel southwest to Devon and Cornwall，lovely farming and fishing centers with numerous seaside resorts. In addition to being Scotlands capital，Edinburgh is a major transportation center and convenient train ride away from London. An entryway to some of Scotlands most rough and spectacular scenery，why not travel north to Inverness or the Kyle of Lochalsh. You might even want to add Aberdeen or Perth to the top of your list，also easily reached by train. All of Britain awaits you by train. So settle back，relax，and enjoy the comfortable train
