    　　When Susan White went back to high school couple of years ago, she never had any thought about actually getting a high school diploma（文凭）.

    　　“I just wanted to learn more,”she said. But when she found out that many of her classmates were planning to graduate, Mrs White recalled（回忆）,“I said if my young friends can graduate from high school, so can I.”

    　　She seems to have been right. As soon as she completes history course, Mrs White will graduate next month. And when she does, she will enter the record books as the oldest person ever to graduate from high school in the United States.

    　　Mrs White is 98 years old, and nobody knows of anyone who has completed high school at an older age.

    　　Since going back to her studies she has kept up a straight——A record——that is the highest possible.

    　　Now that she is about to get a diploma, Mrs White has become a strong believer in getting a good education.

    　　“I don't like anyone dropping out of school, ”she said. “It makes me mad when a person decides to leave school, because future generations will have to know even more than we do in order to survive（生存）.”

    [　　]

    A．None

    Q:

    I’d like to know about fluency．What can I do to feel better when I’m talking to other people? Do you have some ways to learn it faster? Please help me!　　　—Roberto in Brazil

    A:

    Roberto wants to know how to become more fluent in English, and this is something you want to be able to do “fast”．

    First, if you get to meet English speakers much, the important rule is to listen not just to native speakers of English, but also to very good users of English．If you don’t, then listen to the radio, TV or films in English．

    The next step is to notice what it is that speakers of English do, which makes them sound fluent．The first trick(诀窍) is to probably have confidence．Some people think they might make mistakes．Don’t worry about that．Your listeners will usually try hard to understand you — a few grammar mistakes aren’t going to worry them．

    What you do need to worry about is pronunciation, especially stress(重音)．When you learn a new word or expression, learn it with its stress．Notice how a native speaker says it or look it up in a dictionary．

    Another good thing that speakers of English do is to have a few tricks up their sleeves(袖子) for when they need to give themselves thinking time．Sometimes they use “filler sounds” like er, um and so on．

    It is also useful to know how to bring other speakers into your conversation so that you keep them interested － and this is often done by asking questions like “What do you think?” “How do you feel about this?” and so on．

    So, to become a fluent speaker, you’ll need to put into practice all these kinds of things．And there’s the key: practise, practise, practise．　　　　　　　　　　　　　－Susan Fearn

    56．Susan first encourages English learners to       ．

    A．meet English speakers     B．listen to very good speakers

    C．talk to English speakers   D．buy a radio or a TV set

    57．When mentioning pronunciation, Susan pays special attention to    ．

    A．stress B．expressions      C．dictionaries      D．words

    58．What do the underlined words “to have a few tricks up their sleeves” probably mean?

    A．To wear a lot of clothes．                   

    B．To have a secret plan or idea．

    C．To hide some tricks into their sleeves． 

    D．To have sleeves covering their whole arms．

    59．What do we know from the passage?

    A．One can only learn stress from dictionaries．

    B．Grammar mistakes worry one’s listeners a lot．

    C．Asking questions can make one’s conversation attractive．

    D．One can become fluent if one practises one of the suggestions．

    The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
    　　An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team.” They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
    　　So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall.”I always tell them when L’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome,who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
    　　Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,” Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
    【小题1】What is the popular images of teenagers today?

    A．They worry about school
    B．They dislike living with their parents
    C．They have to be locked in to avoid troubles
    D．They quarrel a lot with other family members
    【小题2】The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___
    A．share family responsibility
    B．cause trouble in their families
    C．go boating with their family
    D．make family decisions
    【小题3】Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents___.
    A．go to clubs more often with their children
    B．are much stricter with their children
    C．care less about their children’s life
    D．give their children more freedom
    【小题4】According to the authour,teenage rebellion____.
    A．may be a false beliefB．is common nowadays
    C．existed only in the 1960sD．resulted from changes in families
    【小题5】What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Negotiation in family B．Education in family
    C．Harmony in familyD．Teenage trouble in family
