17、卡上将该项涂黑。I used to think of myself as a quite international person, but my bookshelves told a different story. Besides a few Indian novels and an Australian book, my literature collection was only 36 British and American titles. At the start of 2012, I set myself the 37 of trying to read a book from
18、every 38 in a year to find out what I was missing.Knowing that its impossible to find books from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of the 39 bookshop, I decided to ask the planets readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World for suggestions of 40 I could read in English. The
19、 response（响应）was 41 . People all over the 42 were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book 43 . Some posted me books from their home countries. Several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare 44 to read works unavailable in Britain. Even with such an amazi
20、ng team behind me, however, getting books in English was no 45 task. This was especially true for some African countries. And when it 46 to the small island nation of San Tome & Principle, I would have given up 47 a team of helpers who 48 a book of short stories by Olinda Beja. Then there were place
21、s where stories were 49 written down. All in all, getting stories like these 50 as much time as the reading, 51 the effort was worth it. In the hands of different writers, I was taken inside the 52 of people living far away and shown the world through their eyes. These 53 not only opened my mind to
22、life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel. And that in turn 54 my thinking. One by one, the country names on the list changed into 55 places filled with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. At its best, I learned, books make the world real.36. A. applied toB. base

26、ners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and cant go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is u
27、sually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and dont forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other cust
28、oms (风俗). Here Ill give you some dos and donts about them in the following:1) Dont leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)2) Dont use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.3) Dont talk with much food in your mouth.4) Dont ask
29、 others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face. Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave i
30、n half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.56. When you come to the dinner, youd better .A. get there a bit earlier B. put on your usual clothesC. take your best friends with youD. take some presents like flowers, chocolates and so on57. What would be
31、 the best title for this passage? A. Custom in England and America B. Custom in the WestC. Life in the West D. Custom at Dinner Table in the WestBThe economy continues to struggle and students are faced with high tuition（学费）costs and an uncertain future when they graduate. In order to make ends meet
32、, some students will turn to credit（信用）cards. However, should college students have credit cards? Across the country, students are getting encouraged to sign up for credit cards. In exchange, they get towels, thin T-shirts and short-term deals on better interest rates. As an educator, this does have
33、 an effect on me.There is obviously some value in having a credit card while in college. The American financial system is built around building credit. For young people, this is typically achieved by proving that they pay a bill on a regular basis. You would think that people without credit cards wo
34、uld have higher scores, but that is not the case. Therefore, students can start to build a credit history by having a credit card.College is not just about gaining information and learning skills. Higher education is also about learning responsibility, which is why having a credit card can be a good
35、 way to manage a level of independence. For many people, college means some of the best years of life. Relationships and memories are built as students enjoy a time of discovery and exploration. Of course, there is the reality that some students spend their college years buying gadgets（小玩意儿）, eating
36、 out and going to parties. Unfortunately, this is where the credit card can be a dangerous item, as it can be far too convenient to buy entertainment supplies. I love working with college students because they have great potential（潜力）, but I also know that they can sometimes make poor choices.I worr
37、y that students wont pay their tuition because they have to pay their credit card bill. I would hate for a student to drop out of school because they loaded up the credit card with weekend entertainments. So college students can certainly get credit cards, but they must respect them.58. The underlin
38、ed phrase “sign up for” in the first paragraph probably means “_”.A. prepare forB. apply forC. make up forD. arrange for59. How can students build credit according to this article? A. By paying bills regularly with their credit cards. B. By signing up for credit cards successfully. C. By managing a
39、level of independence. D. By being able to pay their own tuition.60. It can be inferred from the article that _. A. college means great academic achievements B. students who have credit cards get higher scoresC. college students can sometimes make poor choices D. owning credit cards may have side ef
40、fects on studentsCMy first real, paying job was at Bloomingdales in Stamford, Connecticut. It was 1980, an age known for disco, and I was a high school student. It seemed that I belonged to the store my grandparents and other family lived nearby, and my mother had been a shopper there since it opene
41、d in the 1950s. My mother even joked that she went into labor with me there she headed right to the hospital to have me!I worked during school breaks. It was a part-time sales job and I moved from department to department as needed. Not only were the workers amazing, so were the customers. I met doz
42、ens of famous people and great designers of the time, including Carol Burnett, Phil Donahue, Donna Karan and Diana Ross.One day, I was asked to help the personal shopping office. This was the team that handled shopping mostly for the rich and famous. Each customer would have a salesperson to serve.
43、The head of personal shopping pulled me aside and asked, “Can you handle difficult customers?” I said, “Fine, no problem.” After taking a deep breath, she said, “Okay, Id like to introduce you to Ms. Diana Ross.”There she was. I didnt say anything about how wonderful she looked, or how amazing her s
44、ongs were. I was sure she knew all that already! I got right to work. After getting lots of clothing and some other things together from around the store, and getting everything to the fitting rooms, Ms. Ross and her two young daughters continued to try things on. Ms. Ross tried on one dress and ask
45、ed what I thought. I said something like, “It makes your butt look huge, dont get it!” She asked my opinion again when she tried on the next. I told her, “Nope, your bosom is all wrong in that.” I continued to bring her more and different things, until she looked as amazing as possible and I told he
46、r so. She spent hours trying on clothes and ended up buying a big pile of clothing.I didnt understand why anyone would have said that she was difficult. But it turned out that I was the first personal shopper to treat her properly. To the shock of everyone in the department, she hugged me and said,
47、“Youre the first person who actually told me how I looked. Everyone else was so scared of me. They just said You look great! no matter what. Tim, I want to work with you again!”So as I worked on and off at Bloomingdales through my teen years, Id pull together clothing for Ms. Ross. Other people were
48、 sent my way, too. The sales relationship worked beautifully, for everyone. I learned a lot about myself then, about being true to myself and my customers, about creating lasting relationships through honesty, and about making the sale when the product is truly good for my customer.Generally, the st
49、ory has never changed from my early days in business, through my post-college years as a manager at Macys, Pottery Barn, and Guess, to my years selling data products and services for two companies, or to more recent times as a digital marketer and e-commerce（电商）leader. 61.

Diana Ross influenced the writer a lotC. famous people are also common peopleD. selling products or services is
53、a hard taskDAfter my husband died suddenly from a heart attack, my world completely changed around me. My six children were ten, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was burdened with the responsibilities of making a living, caring for the children and just plain keeping my head above water.
54、I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly I was uncomfortable. Every unusual noise and any late-night phone call would fill me with fear. I felt unbelievably alone.On
55、e Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd（牧羊犬）on our doorstep. I was cautious. Where did this obviously well-cared-for dog come from? Was it safe to let the children play with a strange dog? Finally I let him sleep in the basement until the next day, when we coul
56、d search around the neighborhood for his owner. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for Germans owner, but with no results. German, meanwhile, made himself part of the family and good-naturedly put up
57、 with hugs, playing in the yard. Saturday night he was still with us, so again he was allowed to sleep in the basement. On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. But when we stopped to
58、 get gas at a local station, we were surprised to see German jumping onto the hood（引擎盖）and looking directly into my eyes. No way was he going to be left behind. So he stayed again Sunday. Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didnt come back. We were sure
59、 that he had gone home or been found by his owner, and that we would never see him again. We were wrong. The next Friday evening, German was back on our doorstep. And again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived.This repeated every weekend for almost 10 months. We grew more and
60、 more fond of German. We stopped thinking about where he belonged he belonged to us. We took comfort in his strong, warm presence, and we felt safe with him near us. Each week, between Germans visits, I grew a little stronger and a little braver; every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday
61、morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back. I think of him often. He came when I needed him the most and stayed until I was strong enough to go on alone. Maybe there is a perfectly natural explanation for Germans visits to our house maybe h
62、is owner went away on weekends maybe. I believe German was sent because he was needed, and because no matter how sad and alone we feel, somehow, somewhere, someone knows and cares. 65. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 implies the author _.A. had great difficulty supporting the familyB. found it ha
