25、y to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him. He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to th
26、e heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a
27、rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whol
28、e days. Suddenly, his fathers words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, dont panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees dont like smoke,” he thought. “They couldnt get
29、into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable
30、 garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the
31、 doorbell. Mr. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“Youll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. Thank goodness you didnt panic! But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.56. Why did Andy fail to not

42、ies around the world: In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.After World War/I, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increased. Los Angeles and H
43、ouston are cities where population shifts(转移) to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents(居民) became wealthier. They had more children so they needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their ow
44、n homes. They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区).Now things are changing. They children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many youn
45、g professionals are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments
46、in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.Only a few years ago, people though

49、t parts of society.66. According to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities _. A. need more money for daily expenses B. are faced with housing problems C. are forced to move to the suburbs D. want to sell their buildings67. We can conclude from the text that _. A. the populati
50、on is decreasing in older American cities B. American cities are changing for the worse C. people have different views on American cities D. many people are now moving from American citiesDMy father was 44 and knew he wasnt going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it
51、would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.
52、 Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. You will do something great. He didnt know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when Ive felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, Is this what you were talki
53、ng about, Dad? Should I keep going?A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, Ive come to believe hed want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. Its time to start writing my own letters to my children
54、. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids dont hold back because theyre afraid to fail. Theyre only afraid of failing us. They dont worry about being disappointed. Their fear-as mine was until my fathers letter-is of being a disappointment.Give your children permis
55、sion to succeed. Theyre waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: Dont worry; youll do something great. No

Indeed, for many of the poorest regions (地区) of the world, it remains the next big thing-finally becomes glo
60、bally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. , where there are more TVs than people, and where peo
61、ple now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005, after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班), which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013-pushing the numbers to well
62、beyond two thirds of families.Televisions most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands approval and less likely to want a boy rather than
63、 a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Hollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but sig
64、nificant(有意义的) improvement in their reading skills.Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness.
