    This is a true story about two friends.

    One day a young man said to his good friend, "I can see that some day you will become great and rich." His friend laughed, "Ridiculous! How can you know that?" The first said, "Yes, I can see it from your forehead." The second one said, "Ok, if I become great and rich, I will give you 10,000 rupees." The first friend asked. "Really? If so, then write it down."

    The second one really wrote it down. The first man kept the note, but he never took his friend seriously. The agreement was made as a joke. 10 or 12 years later, the friend did become rich and great, while the other remained poor. By that time both friends had separated and were leading their own lives. Even so, the poor friend still preserved the note, although he felt that since it was a joke, he would never receive the money.

    Quite unexpectedly, the poor man fell seriously ill. Just before he died, he took out the agreement and called his son, who was only seven years old, "My son, there is something very precious that I have kept for you. After I die…you go to this man and show him what he has written."

    Soon the man died. Their friendship had faded so much that the rich man did not even come to see him before he left this world. But after three or four weeks' time the son took the note to the rich man. The boy gave the rich man the note. The rich man read it and asked, "Did I write this?"

    The boy said, “I do not know. My father asked me to give it to you before he died." The rich man summoned one of his secretaries and explained, "I promised this boy's father many years ago that I would give him 10,000 rupees if I became rich and great. I have been rich for seven years; please calculate how much interest I have to give him in addition to the 10,000 rupees."

    The secretary told him, "An additional 7,000 rupees, which makes it 17,000 altogether."

    The rich man immediately issued a check for 17,000 rupees and gave it to the little boy, saying, "Take this directly to your mother.”

    This is how a sincere man kept his promise.

    56. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

    A. The first friend can know others’ future from his or her forehead.

    B. The second friend couldn’t believe his friend’s words at first.

    C. The first friend wished his friend to help his son after he died.

    D. The second didn’t come to see his dying friend because of different life.

    57. What do you think of the man who became rich later?

    A. He had a bad memory.

    B. He is very selfish and unwilling to help others.

    C. He is mean with his money.

    D. He is a man who keeps his promise.

    58. What can be inferred from the passage?

    A. The poor friend preserved the note because he knew he would get the money sooner or later.

    B. The man became rich 3 or 5 years later after he signed the agreement.

    C. The rich man gave the boy 17,000 rupees altogether.

    D. The little boy knew something about his father’s story.

    Let children learn to judge their own. A child who learns to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s, in the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught—to walk, run, climb, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in doing such work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.   

    1.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is ___  

    A．to listen to skilled people’s advice

    B．to ask older people many questions

    C．to make mistakes and have them corrected

    D．to do what other people do

    2.According to the writer, teachers in school should ___

    A．allow children to learn from each other

    B．point out children’s mistakes whenever they are found

    C．correct children’s mistakes as possible as they can

    D．give children more book knowledge

    3.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should not do?

    A．Give children correct answers

    B．allow children to make mistakes

    C．Point out children’s mistakes

    D．Let children judge their own work

    4.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ___.

    A．different from learning other skills

    B．the same as learning other skills

    C．more important than other skills

    D．not really important skills

    The Confucius Classroom program is in about forty countries, including more than fifty American schools and universities.

    A recent report said more schools in the United States are teaching Chinese and Arabic, although the numbers are still low.

    45. How many American schools and universities have the Confucius Classroom program?

    D. It also teaches Spanish, German and French.

    47. How does Carly Irvine think learning Chinese?

    A. Helpful.                   B. Useless.                    C. Unnecessary.             D. Terrible.

    48. What’s the passage mainly about?
