Florence Nightingale（南丁格尔） was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.

As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.

At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.

“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.

“Then I will make it so, “she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and

France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.

Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.

After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.

Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.

56. When she was a child, Florence ____ .

A. loved to travel very much B. knew what her duty in life was

C. loved to help the sick people D. was most interested in music and drawing

57. What made Florence make up her mind to become a nurse？

A. Her father’s support. B. Her desire to help the sick.

C. Her education in Germany and France. D. Her knowledge from reading great books.

58. Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria？

A. She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.

B. She wrote a book on public health.

C. She worked as a nurse all her life.

D. She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.

59. The passage can best be described as ____ .

A. the life story of a famous woman B. a description of the nursing work

C. an example of successful education D. the history of nursing in England

Satellites（卫星） are an important part of our ordinary lives．For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite．Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving．Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls．

Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．

We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit（围绕运动） the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually happens about every five or six days．

Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other．

60．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

A．Sending information for weather forecast． B．Taking photographs of the Earth．

C．Sending TV pictures． D．Providing food for airplane pilots．

61．What’s the speed the earth rotates at?

A．35,880 kilometers per hour． B．335,880 kilometers per hour．

C．11,000 kilometers per hour． D．110,000 kilometers per hour

62．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

A．A satellite．

B．A little rocket．

C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky．

D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position．

63．Which is true of satellites?

A．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．

B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired．

C．A broken satellite is never left in space．

D．They often crash into each other．

C

“Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!”

Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not meet with success for every adult language learner.

Language teachers often offer advice to language learners, “Read as much as you can in the new language.” “Practice speaking the language every day.” “Live with people who speak the language.” “Don’t translate, try to think in the new language.” “learn as child would learn.”

But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.

First of all, successful gain. They try to learn from their mistakes.

Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake, they will try anyway to communicate.

Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and learn from them.

What kind of language earner are you? If your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined abo
