Dear Dad,
I know you   love me ,but I    you understand my life. You hope I study all the time. I know you want me   a good job when I grow up but I think studying all the time is bad for me. I   need time to relax. You never think about fun things for me to do . You don’t know I like music and sports. Yesterday when I was watching a soccer game   TV, you asked me to stop and   my homework. After finishing my homework, I wanted to play the piano, but you said I should go to bed early. That was  . I can’t do what I want to do. I didn’ t like what you did for me. I really love you, Dad, but I hope you can try   so strict   me. I think you should give me some  time to relax.

Have you ever wanted something so ①badly that you wanted to do anything to get it? Well, that used to be me. Three years was quite a long time and hard time, but I got what I wanted: a lovely dog named Dion.

My family and I met it at a dog show. We drove for four hours to its owner’s house where she showed us three little dogs. They were all so lovely with their little legs, long bodies and heads that looked too big for their bodies, I couldn’t decide which to choose until ②the smallest dog came up to me and licked my face.

Dion felt quite strange to our home at first. Every night, she cried in a way that sometimes made me cry. She cried almost every second of the day. But after a few weeks, she got used to us.

My mother and I took Dion to a kindergarten for little dogs. It was funny to see all the dogs barking very loudly. She was very shy. But she was very friendly with the other dogs. The trainer says that she is doing very well for a four-month-old dog.

If you want to get a dog, think about your time and the work you must do. I walk Dion four to six times a day. I feed her, spend time with her and watch her when she is out of her doghouse. Even if my favorite TV program is on, or a good part in a movie is coming up, __③__. It is a lot of work to keep her clean. Sometimes when I brush her, ④I end up with hair all over me.

But Dion also gives her love to me in return. She is always there to lick me and lie on me. I enjoy playing with her, I think she can __⑤__ when I am happy, sad, angry or troubled. Dion is my dog, and she is my friend as well.

Amy was a dear little girl, but she was too ready to waste time in getting ready to do her tasks, instead of doing them at once as she ought to.

In the village in which she lived, Mr. Thornton kept a store where he sold fruit of all kinds, including berries in their season. One day he said to Amy, whose parents were quite poor, “Would you like to earn some money?”

“Oh, yes, ” replied she, “for I want some new shoes, and papa has no money to buy them with.”

“Well, Amy,” said Mr. Thornton, “I noticed some fine, ripe blackberries in Mr. Green’s field today, and he said that anybody was welcome to them. I will pay you thirteen cents a quart(度量单位) for all you will pick for me.”

Amy was delighted at the thought of earning some money; so she ran home to get a basket, intending to go immediately to pick the berries.

Then she thought she would like to know how much money she would get if she picked five quarts. With the help of her slate(书写板) and pencil, she found out that she would get sixty-five cents.

“But supposing I should pick a dozen quarts,” thought she, “how much should I earn then?” “Dear me!” she said, after figuring(测算) a while, “I should earn a dollar and fifty-six cents.”

Amy then found out what Mr. Thornton would pay her for fifty, a hundred, and two hundred quarts. It took her some time to do this, and then it was so near dinner time that she had to stay at home until afternoon.

As soon as dinner was over, she took her basket and hurried to the field. Some boys had been there before dinner, and all the ripe berries were picked. She could not find enough to fill a quarter of a quart.

As Amy went home, she thought of what her teacher had often told her---“Do your task at once; then think about it,” for “One doer is worth a hundred dreamers.”

56. How many times did Amy figure with her slate?

A. 3.　 　　　　　　　　　　　 B. 4.　 　　　　　　　　　　　 C. 5.　　 　　　　　　　　 D. 6.

57. The underlined sentence may mean “______”.

A. she got ready to waste some time to do her tasks

B. she thought it was a waste of time to do her tasks

C. she liked to waste time when should do her tasks immediately

D. she was not ready to get her tasks ready, and it’s a waste of time

58. What can we infer from the story?

A. Amy’s family was very poor.

B. Amy was good at counting with a slate.

C. Mr. Thornton was the richest person in the village.

D. Amy would learn a better lesson from this affair than from school.　　　 　　　

59. The best title of the passage may be “_____”.

A. The Money Amy Did Not Earn 　　　　　　

B. The Girl Did Not Like To Waste Time　　

C. Amy, A Good Student To her Teachers

D. A Poor Girl Wanted To Earn Some Money
