　　Twenty years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance．I have forgotten the

　　name of an old lady，who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy．Yet it exists in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget．

　　On a winter afternoon．a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of a house for fun．I was brave

　　enough to find a big rock and threw it out．Unfortunately，the rock was so heavy that it didn’t fly onto the roof

　　but into the room through the window．At the sound of crashed glass，we knew we were in trouble and ran

　　away．

　　I was so scared about being caught that I didn’t go to deliver newspapers to the old lady for a few days．The next week，when I gave her the paper again，she still greeted me with a big smile as usual．I felt so guilty，however，so I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money to cover the cost of her window．I made it．Three weeks later，I saved seven dollars and put them in an envelope with a note explaining that 1 was sorry for breaking her window and that I hoped the money could repair it．I waited until it was dark，and put the envelope in her door secretly．

　　The next day，I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving

　　from her．She thanked me and gave me a bag of delicious cookies she had made herself．

　　Reaching for the cookies，I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag．When I opened the envelope，I

　　was surprised．Inside were the seven dollars and a short note saying，“I am proud of you．"

　　Students often complain that they don’t have“enough time”to do all their homework．My reply is simple，“You have as much time as the president．”There are twenty-four hours in a day for everyone，thus，“not enough time”is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done．

　　Once in graduate school，I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying I was working hard．His answer to me was．“That’s irrelevant．What’s important is the quality of your work．"Since then I have had time to think carefully about the“hard worker”dodge(诀窍)，and I have come to some conclusions—all relevant to the problem of how much time we have．

　　If you analyze the matter，you can identify two parts of the problem：There is，of course，the matter of“time”．which we can think of as fixed．Then there is the problem of“work”during that time．But as my professor suggested，it's not how hard one works but the quality of the product that matters．

　　That led me to a new idea：the quality of the work．That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office：“Don’t work harder；work smarter．"There is a lot of sense in the idea．

　　If you can’t get more time，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work．That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time．It should lead us to the analysis of our work habits．

　　Then，as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study，chiefly writing and reading．If you learn to read better and write better，there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies．

　　60．From the passage，we know that the author is probably

　　．

　　A．a student

　　B．a novelist

　　C．an educator

　　D．an engineer

　　．

　　A．improve his or her study skills

　　B．work hard without thinking

　　C．focus on reading and writing

　　D．find more time to study

　　63．What’s the main idea of the text?

　　A．Students don’t have enough time．

　　B．No one can get more time．

　　C．Don’t work harder；work smarter．

　　D．Read better and write better．

　　“Wanted by the FBI”．To the murderer，or the bank robber，these are the most frightening words in the world．When the criminal hears them，he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him．

　　Why should he be so afraid? There are thousands of cities and villages where he can hide，and forests and deserts，as well．Besides，he’s usually rich with stolen money．

　　Money can make it easier to hide．With money，the criminal can even pay a doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize．But the criminals know that as public enemies，they can be found by the FBI，no matter where they hide．

　　They know every trick the criminal knows and many more．If he makes just one mistake，they'll get him．That’s why the man who is wanted can’t sleep．That’s why he becomes nervous，and why he jumps at every sound．

　　The FBI began on May 10th，1924．General Harlan Stone chose Edgar Hoover，a young lawyer，to hold the new agency．“What we need is a wholly new kind of police force．”he said．“Criminals today are smart．They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways．They have learned to open any lock，using advanced technology．We can’t beat them with old methods．We have to train officers to work scientifically．"

　　Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans．He picked his men carefully．They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five．He wanted only men with good manners and good character．When working as his officers，they would have to meet all kinds of people．Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun．But the FBI cannot help in every police problem．It can look into only certain crimes against the government．Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces．

　　Money, jewels and important documents are not the only valuables placed in banks these days. Some mothers store their breast milk in banks.

　　There’re ten breast banks set up across the United States, where mothers can donate their extra milk for other women’s babies. Experts say breast milk is the best food for babies. The World Health Organization says it is the only food babies should get during the first six months of life, in most cases. Breast milk is especially important for babies born too early. Sometimes these premature babies must stay in the hospital for many weeks.

　　James Cameron is a doctor who treats newborns at Lutheran Children’s Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He says breast milk is almost like medicine. Doctor James Cameron said, “The fact is that there are so many different proteins and specialized sugars in the breast milk that the mom’s able to make that help provide immunity(免疫力). It’s very important for the health of the newborn.”

　　There are several reasons some mothers may not be able to breastfeed. Some are not able to produce enough milk. Others might be taking medicines or have medical problems that prevent the process.

　　Lucy Baur lives near Fort Wayne. She fed her milk to both her children and always had more milk than they needed. She wanted to donate to the Indiana Mothers Milk Bank in Indianapolis. But freezing and shipping milk can be costly. Then, a donor station opened near her home.

　　Milk donations in the United States work like this: Donors must be willing to provide almost three liters of breast milk. They freeze the milk and take it to the station. There, employees warm the milk and mix it with other mothers’ milk. Then, the milk is heated to kill bacteria. After that, the technicians test samples of all the milk to make sure it is safe and healthful. The milk is re-frozen and sent to the main milk bank. The milk bank transports the milk to hospitals to feed premature or sick babies. Donors are tested for diseases before any milk is accepted. They are not permitted to smoke tobacco, use illegal drugs or drink too much alcohol.

　　A. store extra fresh milk for school children

　　A. it protects them from any possible disease

　　BEIJING, July 28 (Xinhua)-Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has called for measures to boost（促进） pig farming as short supply has led to continued pork price hikes, causing concerns among consumers and the government over a possible spillover effect on inflation（通货膨胀）.

　　Wen urged local government to leave no stone unturned in raising the enthusiasm of pig breeders when addressing an executive conference of the State Council on Wednesday.

　　The country’s pig production fell dramatically in recent months on pig breeders’ dampened enthusiasm due to rising feedstuff costs and low price in the past few years, and also the massive pig culling（淘汰） after the outbreak blue-ear disease in some regions.

　　The short supply of live pigs kept driving the pork price higher. The wholesale price of pork in June represented a 74.6-percent surge from the same month last year.

　　Wen said it’s of great importance to increase pig production, which would help stabilize the pork price and satisfy the meat demand of the public.

　　He called on local governments to deliver the subsides（补助金） for breeding female pig to farmers arranged by the central budget “as soon as possible”.

　　In order to strengthen disease control, Wen said immunization（免疫接种） against major pig epidemics shall be provided to farmers free of charge, and that subsidies shall be offered to farmers if their pigs have to be killed for disease control.

　　The premier said local administrative chiefs shall hold responsibility for pork supply in their areas, and that all unreasonable restrictions on pig farming shall be abolished.

　　Local governments shall also increase or pay allowances for lower-income families and college students to ensure their living standards are not adversely affected by the higher pork prices, Wen said.

　　72. At the conference Premier Wen Jiabao called on to______.

　　A. raise more pigs to stop pork price rise.

　　B. supply more pork to ease inflation.

　　C. show more concern for the consumers.

　　D. take measures to build more pig farms.

　　A. drops

　　B. rises

　　C. changes

　　D. delays
