I was the “I can’t child” -- the poster child for the word “can’t”. Every time my mother told me to do something, I always 36 by saying “I can’t.” Very 37 tasks or goals that I set out to do were ever completed. “I want you to read this article,” Mother began. “It’s about Marlo Thomas. She tells 38 a simple poem written by a French writer changed her life. It made her 39 say ‘I can’t’ any more, but ‘I can’. According to this article, she was able to 40 her life by learning the lessons in the poem.”
I thought it must be 41 to be Marlo! Beside her photo was the poem, a very simple one called “I Can”.
“I want you to 42 that poem,” Mother said.
“Mom,” I 43 . “I can’t learn that poem. It’s too long!”
“It’s not too long and yes, you can learn it. I want you to know it 44 by this time tomorrow.”
I dropped my shoulders, turned and made my way back to my 45 with the magazine in my hand. Feeling 46 , I lay on my bed and began my task.
“Can’t is a word that is the 47 of ambition(雄心),” I began. I repeated the 48 . I repeated it again and again until I remembered it.
“An enemy waiting to jump on your strength of will...” I 49 until the following evening. Finally I proudly recited the poem and it became my motto(座右铭) later.

Venice is a beautiful city in Italy. Tourists all over the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you'll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special. Unluckily, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone's wearing rain boots.
Italian government has thought about the problem seriously. Before the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. In fact, many kinds of gates were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides, the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工业的) factories built nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse and made the city go down about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.
So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOSE project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and hope to spend nearly five billion euros (欧元) on it. The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets (海湾). Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28. 5 to 37 feel tall, and weighs up to 22 tons. It's nearly the size of a 20-floor building. Before the gates are in use, they are under the sea, full of water. When the flood comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they're in the right place, they will stop the sea water getting into Venice. These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet, and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as people hope.
The MOSE project is now sixty percent done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, \"This is a war. During the war, it's not important that you win. It's important that you're alive. We've alive.\" Anyway, this project is saving Venice from falling.
( )56. The underlined word \"construction\" means \"_______\" in Chinese.
A. 建筑 B. 农业 C. 交通 D. 商业
( )57. Before building the MOSE gates, the Italian government _______ to stop the floods.
A. never built gates on the ground B. never took any action
C. built some gates which were under the ground D. built many kinds of gates on the ground
( )58. When the flood comes, _______ can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.
A.a→b→c B.b→a→c C.b→c→a D.a→c→b
( )59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Italian government are using 3000 people and expect to spend nearly
five
billion dollars on the MOSE. B. The MOSE project is half done now.
C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feet tall, and weighs up to 22 tons.
D. The purpose of the MOSE project is to save Venice from earthquake.
( )60. The best title for this passage should be _______.
A. The Journey to Venice B. The MOSE Project in Venice C. Several Kinds of Floods in Venice D. Life in Venice

London has a new magazine. But it is not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.
In order to read this magazine, you have to have a decoder(解码器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There is a wide choice — everything is included from cooking
to the latest sports news.
If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the back page which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on page 101 to 109 so you put in the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week’s best bargains. But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question, you only have to press 189 for the traffic report . It is very simple to use . But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time . Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and the whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes .
London has already had three services . One ,sent out by ITV, is called ORACLE while the other two , on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts . Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been in service for some time, they have not been well publicized (宣传). BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere . But many people would agree that is a breakthrough(突破) as great as the invention of printing , which could not just change our reading habits but our whole way of life .

Some British and American people like to invite friends to a dinner party at home. Dinner parties usually start between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. and end at about 11 p.m. It’s polite to bring flowers, a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually the dinner party starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be polite, say how much you like the room or the pictures on the wall. But remember—it’s not polite to ask how much the things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other. They eat with their guests. They usually start the meal with soup or something small, and then meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, finally coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate. The next day, the host will receive “ Thank-you” letters from the guests.

In his spare time at home, he used to play computer games, but now he often does some reading. Books have open up a whole new world to him and improved his writing ability.
At school, he often talked in class and never did his homework before. But now he listens carefully in class. He also does homework carefully and hand it in on time. As a result, he does much better in his lessons than before.
In society, he didn't obey public manners before. Now he has understood the importance of behaving politely in public. He always queues for his turn instead of pushing in before others. He also obeys traffic rules. On the bus, he often gives his seat to people in need.
I hope our school will organize more activities like this. I think we should learn from Li Wei.
