A young man was ready to graduate from college. For months he had  16 a sports car in a  17   showroom, and knowing his father  18 afford it, he told him that was  19 he wanted.  20 Graduation Day approached, he waited for the news    21 that his father had bought the car. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his   22  study. He handed him a beautiful box.   23  , but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened it  24  found a lovely Bible, with the young man’s name on it.  25 , he shouted to his father and said, “ With all your  26 you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the  27  ,
Many years passed. The young man was successful in both business and his family, but  28  his father was old, he intended to go back see him. He  29  him since that graduation day.  30 he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling his father had passed away, and he needed to take  31 possessions from his father. When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and  32 filled his heart. He saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag（标签）with the dealer’s name,  33  dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the  34 “PAID IN FULL.”
How many time do we miss blessing because they are not packaged as we  35 ?  Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

America has long been considered the land of opportunity(机遇)by those from other countries. Americans, too, believe that the United States gives almost limitless opportunities for those who want to open business on their own.
Today, Americans are still fond of trying their hand at becoming small business people, even though only one out of two survives in the first two years. Many of these people start their business for the wrong reason; to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility(责任) of their present jobs for freer life styles. But more, not less paper work and responsibility come with the ownership of a small business.
Not all small businesses succeed. Fifty percent of the 4 550 000 that start in the United States ever fail. Still ninety-five percent of businesses in the U.S. can be regarded as small, and these businesses altogether produce forty percent of America’s total national products.
60．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．People from other countries and Americans think there are a lot of opportunities in the U.S.

C．Both people from other countries and Americans believe they have many opportunities in the U.S so that they can do whatever they like.
D．People from other countries and Americans all think the U.S. the place where they can realize their dreams.
61．From this passage, we know that________.
A．many people from other countries think that in the past there were many opportunities in the U.S. but not now
B．now Americans don’t believe the U.S. can give them a lot of opportunities
C．people from other countries still think they have more opportunities in the U.S. than in their own countries
D．Americans think they have more opportunities to start their own business than those from other countries
62．According to this passage, many American people like to start their own business because___.
A．they want to become rich soon
B．they not only dislike their present jobs but also want a freer life style
C．they don’t want to do paper work
D．they want to have more chances
63．From this passage, we can get the idea that________.

“Sesame Street”has been called the longest street in the world．That is  16  the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the  17  ．The program became one of  18  biggest exports soon after it went on the  19  in New York in 1968．In the United States more than six million children watch the program  20  ．The viewers include more than half the nation's preschool children，21   every kind of economic，racial and geographical  22  ．

“Sesame Street” uses songs，stories，jokes and pictures to give children a basic  23  of numbers, work and human relations．Although some educators object to certain elements in the program，parents  24  it highly．Many teachers also consider it a great help，though some  25  found that problems arise when first graders who have  26  with“Sesame Street”are in the same class with children who haven't watched the program．

Why has“Sesame Street” been much more    27   than any other children's show? Many reasons have been  28  ．People mention the  29  theories of its creators，the support by both government and private business，and the  30 use of a variety of TV tricks．  31  an equally important reason is that mothers watch“Sesame Street”  32  their children．This is partly because  33   adult stars often appear on it．But the 34  reason may be that it  35  every child watching it feel able to learn，and he wants to learn more．

When talking about Olympics, we will never forget July 13th, 2001, the day Mr. Samaranch declared Beijing would host the 2008 Olympics. At that very1,all Chinese people were inspired by it and jumped with2.Why did we all feel delighted? It is obvious that the Olympic3will burn in Beijing, from Olympic City to the Great Wall. As our concepts for the Games4, 'the Green Olympics, the High-tech Olympics and the5Olympics', the Games will give us a chance to have6exchanges, and to show splendid Chinese culture and its people's positive attitudes.
In order to reach 'the Green Olympics', government and7have a lot to do. For instance, the government8better the public transportation, such as9the metro transport network. The introduction of one-way 2-yuan price system is a good example. It boosts(推进) the use of the public transportation.10, residents must mind their behavior. We should participate in various11improvement activities.
'The High-tech Olympics' pushes our enterprises to be more12. Nowadays, the media always13to 'soft power' and many people believe 'the People's Olympics' is part of it. We14the Athens Olympics not for how many medals Greece got,15for its people's positive attitudes. As the16,we should be more friendly and hospitable(好客的). A17society, full of love, where people are confident and help each other, is required. It can be the best18card to make people all over the world remember China.
The Olympic fire has been burning. To make it the best one in history,19should make a contribution. Actions speak20than words. Let's work together and be a volunteer for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games!
