My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. 

One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle brought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. 

The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,”The war is over. ”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer. 

56. What the grandfather was most worried about was           . 

A. the spread of the world war            B. the safety of his living two cousins

C. a drop in his living standards          D. his relatives killing each other

57. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “        “

A. order for army service                   B. train ticket for Europe

C. letter of rejection                           D. note of warning

58. What did the “service pins”（in Para. 2）stand for in the eyes of the little girls?

A. Strength.  B. Courage.  C. Victory.  D. Honor. 

59. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?

A. Disappointing.  B. Unexpected.  C. Uncertain.  D. Inspiring.

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (食欲). It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not eat the bread, it showed that he was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.

61. We must have good eating habits because _________.

A. we want to eat more                           B. we want to enjoy our meals     

C. we want to be healthy and strong           D. we want to grow up quickly

62. It is good to eat sweets and ice-cream _________.

A. when we are hungry       B. when we want to 

C. after a meal                   D. before a meal

63.We’d better have our meals ________.

A. at the same time each day      B. when our work is over

C. when the meal is still hot      D. when every one of the family is at home

64. According to the judges in England, if a man tells a lie, he ________.

A. eats dry bread easily              B. eats dry bread with difficulty

C. eats a lot of dry bread            D. drinks milk with difficult
