I put my  (49)C into a children's book.Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero,a little fish,who(50)A  to give up his dream.
And then one day,without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world-just a lot of hard work and determination-I was offered a(51)C contract (合同) for my first book!After that,things slowly began to fall into(52)B I was offered a second book deal.Then,a few months later,I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was(53)D shortly after.
Don't give up.Even if things look(54)D now,don't give up.If you work hard,things will always get better.Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream…all we need is the(55)A to push beyond the river.

1.When my son,Mark,was in the third grade,he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents.The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket.Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car.It took Mark over 45minutes to choose his presents.Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money.It was not there!There was a hole in his pocket,but no money.Mark stood there holding his basket,tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened.A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms."You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,"said the woman."It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me.I only ask that one day you will pass it on.When you grow up,I would like you to find someone you can help.When you help others,I know you will feel as good about it as I do now."
Mark took the money,dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could.That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say"thank you"to that very kind woman,and tell her that four years later,Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire.And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

A.On Christmas Day.
B.Before Christmas Day.
C.On New Year's Day.
D.After New Year's Day.
22.What happened to Mark in the supermarket?C
A.His gifts were stolen.
B.He broke his basket.
C.He lost his money.
D.He lost his way.
23.Why did the writer want to say"thank you"to the woman?A
A.Because she taught Mark to help people in need.
B.Because she bought Mark a nice present.
C.Because she always paid money for others.
D.Because she collected clothes for the homeless.
24.What's the best title for this passage?D

19.Happy birthday!Does birthday really make people happy?(71)A Birthday celebrates the day when we were born.Candles on the cake suggest another year of growth-or so we hope.Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others,as well.For instance,seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud.For Americans,like people in most cultures,growing up is a wonderful process.But growing old?(72)B
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented (以年轻人为中心) American culture.Most Americans like to look young,act young and feel young.(73)F  Older people joke about how many years young they are,rather than how many years old.
Many older Americans find the"golden years"to be anything but golden.Economically,"senior citizens"often struggle just to get by.Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income.Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference.Older people may suffer from poor nutrition,medical care,and housing.(74)E
Unfortunately,the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why?(75)C  Fewer babies are being born.And middle-aged"baby boomers"are rapidly entering the group of the elderly.America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are"in".Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer.

A.Of course they do.
B.That is a different story.
C.People are living longer.
D.But many people dont think so.
E.Some even experience age discrimination.
F.As the old saying goes,"Youre young as you feel."
