21、me people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

38、 the woods. Dave Murbach needs 11 months.Almost every day of every year, Murbachs thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyones breath away.

39、ach Christmas season. “Im always looking for a tree,” the centers chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. Its like a homework assignment hanging over your head.” And if he gets it wrong, theres nothing hiding it. “Every day its up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5
40、 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,” he says. This years tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the worlds largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2. The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York a tradition dati
41、ng back to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with decoration. The search for the next years tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs. Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 f
42、eet across and leaves thick enough not to see through. Thats not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced. Back at the office, he sorts through hundr
43、eds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “Its for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. Thats w

48、oring his family.B. A person full of love.C. A person with great anxiety.D. A person devoted to his work.DLast summer in London a lot of shops were terrified of robbers but not David Waterhouse. Instead he started an unattended “Honesty Shop ”, “People told me I was mad,” says David “They said：youre
49、 dead , Everything will be gone in a day.”So far however, his faith in human nature seems to have paid off. The Honesty Shop, based on board a 50-year-old double-decker bus, parked in st Katharine Docks, next to the Tower of London, sells handmade goods, Most things have a price tag(标签) of under $20
50、 and customers are trusted to leave the correct amount in an empty box , Having been open for just over a week, the shop had been emptied by paying customers.David, 60 ,has experienced many things ,He grew up in Surrey ,went to university in York and started out in motor racing. He appeared as an ex
51、tra actor in various movies. He worked as a pig farmer in Conwall. Now he runs a houseboat business in London as well as small hotels in Gimmelwald, Switzerland, “I dont make a lot of money,”he says,“but I have a lot of fun, I like new and difficult challenges.”It was his farming days in Conwall tha
52、t inspired David to start his first Honesty Shop next door to his hotel in Gimmelwald, “The village shop had been closed for 10 years and I wanted to reopen it but wages there are so high that I could not afford to employ anyone to work there , I thought about Cornwall and how people often sell eggs
53、 or fruits from unattended stalls at the bottom of their driveways, so I decided to do it that way.”The Swiss told him he was mad yet it has been a great success, selling such locally handmade goods as pottery and wood carvings as well as snacks, drinks and ice creams to tourists and hikers. “I thin
54、k people fail to realize their own honesty,” he says.61. At first people thought Davids “Honesty Shop”in London . A. would be a complete failureB. would make him very rich C. would be a great successD. would make him very famous62. The shop is called “the Honesty Shop”because . A. hoppers buy and pa
55、y all by themselvesB. sthe owner never lies to his customers C. all the products in it are fairly priced D. all the products in it are of high quality63. What does Davids first Honesty Shop sell?

57、ney means nothing to him C. peoples honesty can be testedD. money means everythingE Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how theyll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, Im more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to d
58、o, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the worlds attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.Usually, t
59、he lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing(盛行的) theory seems to be that were all hot-tempered single mothers who cant keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still cant escape the stereotype (陈规旧习)of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-marri
60、ed, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.It wont be easy
61、. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions
62、 of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what theyd like to see Michelle bring to the White Housemainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please ev
63、eryonean impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image thats been around for far too long.66. Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?A.She serves as a role m
64、odel for African women.B. She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.C. She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women.D. She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.67. What is the common stereotype of African-American women accord
65、ing to the author?A.They are victims of violence. B. They are of an inferior violence.C. They use quite a lot of body language. D. They live on charity and social welfare.68. What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?A. Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fan
66、s.B. How Michelle should behave as a public figure.C. How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.D. What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.69. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?A. However many fans she has, she should remain modest,
