A
Children in
Bosnia-Herzegovina all know the ancient story of the poor woman who caught a
golden fish, released it, and in return gained wealth and happiness. According
to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality
for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family
lived next to a small lake in the northwestern
The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, "This way, they might be more fortunate than us." Fast-forward to 1995. Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. "The whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it," she said. "It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for."
During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future." It was a special kind of gift from our father," Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.

59. What does the author intend to tell us?
A .The more golden fish, the wealthier you’ll be. B. Golden fish promise a good fortune.
C .No pains, no gains. D. Give, and it will be given to you.

If you are interested in buying a new car, reading ads in newspapers and magazines should start you in the right direction. The details in ads can help you decide what kind of car will suit your needs and your budget.
PASHUBI: WE DESIGNED OUR CAR FOR YOU -----THE DRIVER
At Pashubi, we think you are very important. So we created the 630-X, a fully equipped luxury sports car. The 630-X surrounds the driver with more window than other sports cars. The 630-X has a steering wheel and instrument panel that can be moved up and down.
The roomy bucket seats can be easily moved and can tilt back as far as you like. And the large storage area in back lifts up to become two additional seats.
There are 30 standard equipment features, including power disc brakes, power windows, electrically heated outside rearview mirror, two-tone paint, and CD player.
At $20,025, the
630-X offers more than other imported cars. And you’ll save on gas―an
exceptional
The 630-X. By Pushubi. It’s not for everyone―but it is for you. TILTON: The American way to get more for your money. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
You get more for your money with our cars. Take the Star, for example. This compact car uses 3,000 computer-assisted root welds, more than any other car. This helps to create an easy-to-maintain car which will give you more for your money for years to come.
The Star gives you more for your money because it’s sensibly priced. It starts as low as $16,999. The Star gives you more for your money with front-wheel drive. With the engine pulling in front and rack-and-pinion steering, you get the real feel of the road.
And the Star gives you more for your money when you study the mileage figures:
The Star’s standard equipment includes power disc brakes, CD player, and 5-speed transmission (3-speed automatic is extra). Among the other extras are two-tone paint, luggage rack, leather steering wheel, power windows, and more.
Last year’s Star was the best-selling compact car. See the Star today―and learn how to get more for your money the American way.

That's right. Failure. We all need to fail a little. In fact, the secret of success might just be that. Consider the path of Henry David Thoreau. By many accounts, Thoreau was a failure. Folks thought he should have been a civic leader. He could have been a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher. He might even have made congressman or governor. Instead, the Harvard man seemed to spend most of his time wandering in the woods near his hometown. Everyone wondered why such a promising young fellow wasn't a "success."
I'm not suggesting that my students drop classes for the woods, but it's important to remember that ideas on success vary. Some measure success by the size of the car he or she drives, others point to the width of their wallet or the number of bathrooms in their house.
The trouble is, by
that way of thinking,
Part of the problem, though, is that we live in a country obsessed by results. In school it is the A student who gets all the honors even though getting an A doesn't always measure how much a person really knows. A's are signs of honor. F's are of defeat.
We look up to heroes such as George Washington or John Glenn. Yet we shouldn't look down upon those who quietly go about the business of raising a family and taking care of their neighbors.
The most admirable are ones who invent their own success. They know how to seize the moment and that the best way to measure success is by living each day to the fullest.
True success is giving something back. And you don't have to have a lot in the wallet to achieve it. There are many people, young and old, who give back by serving in literacy campaigns(掃盲) and soup kitchens.
The beginning of the school year is a good time to start adjusting ourselves. It's a good time to see our failures in a new light.
When Thoreau was still alive ,he didn’t develop into a great leader of the nation. His books were little read, his ideas seemed incorrect. And yet, less than 100 years later, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. pointed to Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience" as one of the sparks that started the civil rights movement and shaped American society. Not a bad legacy (遺產)for a failure.
67. What is the purpose of the author by mentioning Henry David Thoreau at the beginning of passage?
A. To encourage students to drop classes to wander in the woods
B. To show the pity he feels for Thoreau
C. To encourage students to follow the example of Thoreau exactly
D. To introduce the topic of true success
68. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true ?
A. Success is supposed to be valued by wealth.
B. Students are expected to make as many mistakes as possible.
C. Success can be achieved in many ways including repaying others.
D. Ordinary people such as housewives are not considered successful
69. What does the underlined phrase obsessed by mean ?
A. crazy about B. filled with C. freed of D. objecting to
70.What do you know about Thoreau ?
A. He left nothing valuable in history.
B. He was not appreciated by most people of his times.
C. He gained great success by accident.
D. He started the civil rights movement himself.

In the past 100
years Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian Culture that promotes success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they form a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social separation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

It has been reported that China successfully launched a three-man crew into space where one of them made the country's first space walk, the country's most challenging space mission since first launching a person into space in 2003.
The majority of the
students surveyed are in favor of Space Exploration because the Chinese people
have been dreaming of going into outer space ever since before. Exploring space
will help
However, some
students argue against it. In their opinion,
As far as I’m concerned, it’s necessary for us to explore space in that it will bring more benefits in the future, which we can not even imagine now. As a student, I feel not only happy but also proud of the great achievements made in this field. I will work hard so that I can make a contribution to our nation.

W: Prof. Donald , are you giving your advanced geology course again next term ?
M: Yes , I’m planning on it .
W: I wonder if you could join it . I know it’s a graduate course and I’m only a junior but…
M: Aren’t you a bit young ? I’ve allowed qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up .
W: I know , but the geology of the American west is my favorite area of interest and I’ve done a lot of reading in the field . Last term I took Prof. Boffin’s course and I didn’t find it challenging enough .
M: I see . You certainly aren’t one of those students who are out for easy grades .
W:I should say not . I really want to learn something .
M: Well , I’ll speak to Prof. Boffin . If he thinks you’re ready , I’ll let you take the course .
W: Oh, thanks. That’s really nice of you .

There are many ways in which the memory can be improved. In fact, I believe we all have the ability to remember up to six times more than we do.
A lot of people find that visualizing information is very helpful. For example, if you are trying to remember a telephone number, imagine it written down on a piece of paper.
Remembering people’s names is a problem for a lot of people. I recommend that when you are introduced to someone you concentrate on his or her first name. It probably won’t offend anyone if you have to say . “ What was your last name again , Sarah ?” but Sarah might be upset if you forget her first name .
Of course, regular breaks are important and it’s better not to work for long periods without taking one , stopping for rest about every twenty minutes is best .
Finally, take care
of yourself physically . Avoid substances like coffee, alcohol or drugs,
because they dull the mind. And don’t forget your vitamins-B1 and B2 are
particularly good for the memory.w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
