The first time I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He __ me with a puzzle —all because he waved to me like someone does __ seeing a close friend. A big, ___smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to __ his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had ___me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the __ that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.

Then one day the __ was solved. As I __ the school he was standing in the middle of the road __ his stop sign. I was in live behind four cars. __ the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars __. To the first he waved and __ in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same __ from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking(表情刻板的)businessman, gave a brief,almost ___wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school __ more heartily.

Every morning I continued to watch the man with __. So far I haven’t seen anyone __ to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a(n) __ to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His __ armed the start of my day.

13.Flying
Ever since I was old enough to dream,I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles.My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become.Two years ago,that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona.For a whole week I lived in a college dorm,roomed with a total stranger and---best of all---I flew!
My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置).At least once a day,I devoted myself to learning one of the world's best training aircrafts,the Cessna 182.Not only did I receive thorough ground instruction,but I also got to fly.In total,I flew five hours to receive my private pilot's license.
In that one joyous and oh-so-short week,my passion for aviation grew even stronger.Now,
whenever I see a plane flying overhead,I feel a sense of pride thinking I've done that.
During my time in and above the Arizona desert,I learned not only about the mechanics and
techniques of aviation,but also about myself and how I see the world.As I floated in that seemingly endless sea of air,I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below.On the ribbons of roadways,each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams.I wondered if any of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle.Then I realized that each must have his or her own dreams and ambitions.That's what makes us unique.We try to respond to something special inside us.I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.
Everywhere I go,I hear,"Do what makes you happy and you will be happy."It sounds like
standard advice,but I've really thought about it and taken it to heart.I couldn't care less about how much money I make or what benefits I receive.I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my dreams.And,even if they change,even if they finally don't involve aviation,I'll always aim to fly with the eagles.

56.Two years ago,the authorB.
A.was admitted to a university  B.stayed in a university for one week
C.saw the launch of the rocket  D.made good friends with an astronaut
57.Paragraph 2is mainly aboutB.
A.which aircraft the author got to fly      B.how the author learned to fly
C.what the author learned about simulators  D.why the author got a pilot's license
58.According to the author,C makes people unique.
A.flying like an eagle     B.trying something special
C.having their own dreams  D.learning unusual techniques
59.From the last paragraph,we can learn that the authorC.
A.cares a lot about money and benefits  B.brings happiness to others
C.pursues his aims whatever happens     D.offers advice wherever he goes.

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.

For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.

Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.

When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.

The young dolphin swam in the waters off Brisbane, Australia, and found his seafood dinner. Suddenly he realized that he was not the only hungry predator(捕食者)in the area. A ten-foot tiger shark aimed at the same fish. The dolphin refused to give up the meal and dashed to the shark. The shark attacked him, biting down hard into his back. 1.

Later, on the sandy beach nearby, staff at the Tangalooma Resort were shocked to see the severely wounded male. He was a regular visitor, a playful 12-year-old dolphin called Nari. “We’ve known him all his life, since he was a baby,” says resort director Trevor Hassard. 2.The wound measure about a foot long and more than an inch deep. He took photos of Nari and sent them to vets at Sea World, a local marine mammal park. They agreed that Nari needed emergency care.

The next day, Sea World staff traveled to the beach to catch Nari.3.Nor did he appear the next evening. Everyone was depressed and worried about him.

4.“I had started thinking the worst,” Hassard says. “Words can’t describe how excited we were.” Six rescuers surrounded Nari and carried him to Sea World. The vets performed an operation to remove the dead flesh from around the bite. Nari was then moved to a special pool where his wound was cleaned and treated regularly.

5.Sea World decided to tansort Nair back to his home beach. Hassard had worried that the other dolphins might reject Nari after such a long absence. That concern disappeared when Nari’s friend Echo instantly recognized him and moved close to his side.

A. But Nari didn’t show up

B. Three days later, Nari finally turned up.

C. He felt quite worried when he took a close look at Nari’s injury

D. After seven weeks, Nari was fully recovered but growing restless.

E. Shark researchers are trying to warn people to escape without being eaten

F. The five-meter-long dolphin simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.

G. Luckily, the wounded dolphin managed to escape from the shark’s biting with violent struggle.
