   Barack Hussein Obama has made history by becoming the first African-American president in American history.

   Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. His parents separated when he was two years old and later divorced （离婚）. Obama grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated （毕业） from Columbia University in 1983.

The couple’s first daughter, Malia Ann, was born in 1998, followed by a second daughter, Natasha （“Sasha”）, in 2001.

   Obama’s success is a true milestone （里程碑）. It tells of a fact that in America you really do get a chance to do anything if you have the talent and ability and you work hard enough.

   Obama didn’t take office until 20 January, 2009. As a president, he has to face many serious challenges, including two foreign wars, climate change and what he has described as “the worst financial crisis in a century”. But Obama himself is busy dealing with these challenges.

   Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the shop assistant asked you to buy it? Have you ever been afraid to ask someone for an appointment?

   Many people are afraid to assert themselves （坚持主见）. Dr. Alberti, author of Stand Up and Speak Out, thinks it’s because their self-respect （自尊心） is low. “Our whole system （体制） of society is designed to make people less confident,” says Alberti. “There’s always a person who knows more and better around us―a parent, a teacher or a boss. These people often chip away at （削弱） our self-image （自我形象）.”

   To help people assert themselves, Alberti and other scientists offer AT courses where people learn that they have a right （权利） to do so. They learn to speak out and feel good doing so. They learn to be more active without hurting other people.

   In one way, learning to speak out is to get over fear. A group taking an AT course will help the shy person lose fear. And AT even encourages the need to share （分享） so that even the shy person wants to tell others how he feels.

   Whether you speak out depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may be afraid to do so. But, why should you? AT says once you can learn to speak out, you will gradually feel good about yourself.

56．The author asks some questions in the first paragraph in order to     .

A．find out the answers

B．make a survey

C．ask for some advice

D．introduce the topic

57．The underlined phrase “talk back” in the first paragraph means     .

A．criticizing somebody

B．answering to show disagreement

C．talking behind somebody’s back

D．fighting with somebody

58．One thing that AT does NOT do is     .

A．help people to get over fear

B．remind people of their right to assert themselves

C．teach people to assert themselves without respecting others

D．help people to feel good about themselves

59．What’s the author’s attitude towards AT courses?

A．肯定的         B．否定的         C．冷漠的         D．怀疑的

60．The most suitable title for this passage would probably be     .

A．The AT courses

B．Speak out for yourself

C．The sadness of shy people

D．The importance of self-respect

When a student enters high school, he may believe that he is good at reading. No matter how  76  he is, he still needs to become better. How do you read a passage in a textbook? Do you have a certain  77  of doing it or do you just  78  to read and keep reading until you come to the end?

   Some students say that they use the “slow and sure” method. In this way they read every sentence slowly and  79 . Every time they meet a（n）  80  word, they stop to think what it means and, if necessary, look it  81  in a dictionary. If a person has used all his time to get the   82  of each word to be sure that he  83  everything, he probably has no time left for reviewing what he has read.

   Other students use what has been  84  the review method. Here a person tries to plan his time so that he can read his passage  85  twice. This type of reading is faster than the “slow and sure” method, for the passage can be read quickly or there will not be enough time left for a second reading.

Which method do you think is better?
