She had a powerful 50 on me, always reminding me at the end of school 51 about important tasks to be 52 the next day. The next year, we were in different schools and after that we 53 spoke.

A

I consider Lily to be my best friend because she is always very good to me. She?s always with me in times of difficulties and she is always there waiting for me. When I have problems and feel empty and upset, she?s always by my side to comfort me.

We?ve been together for two years. I met her during our college days. She was my classmate, but I can tell that we were not so close at that time, maybe because we had our own friends and maybe our attention was always on them, so I didn?t even notice her. Yet there were times that she was with me during my lunch break. That is why we slowly became close. We had our lunch together in the boarding house but sometimes not, probably because we had our own friends. And when we took our break, we bought our favorite food together, but not that often since we didn?t have enough money. Furthermore, we were together in the student union, which was nice for me to know her better. I can say that she is really a nice friend. She is the kind of person that is very approachable in times of emptiness.

She is a friend whom I can call every time I need help. Definitely, I am so glad that I have her. Currently, we are working together as freelance writers online. We both work as contractors (承包人) in oDesk. We are very happy with working together, and we are looking forward to earning some money so that we can go on vacation together.

Friendships may not last. Friendships can lose importance and die gradually. However, I believe she will be a lifelong friend of mine.

The village of Foston, North Yorkshire, UK, now has a post office thanks to pupils at the village primary school. People in the village were saddened to see their local branch (分局) closed 12 years ago. But now the village primary school has opened one in a converted (改造过的) outdoor toilet, a small brick building, with all the pupils at the school trained to help. Teaching assistant Laura Glass, 29, said, “The last one closed in 1998 and the nearest one is five miles away, meaning it was very tricky as the village has a lot of elderly people, and we suggested that the old toilet be used. “We got a lot of help from the government and the villagers in converting it. We then realized that by getting pupils to run it we could help teach them important skills at the same time. “The children will be properly supervised (察看并指导). They love it and it gives them key skills, and the villagers love it too because it is such a unique service.” The post office opens daily during the pupils? schooldays, for 15 minutes during their lunch break, and for another 15 minutes after lessons at 3 pm. Villager Laura Deighton?s five-year-old daughter Grace goes to the school and has been serving customers at the unusual branch. Laura, 31, said, “Grace thinks it?s wonderful and great fun, and she and all the kids learn really useful social skills. “It is also a great benefit to the community. They?ve got everything you could possibly need, and the kids are excellent. They are so friendly and helpful.”

5. The underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. enjoyable B. difficult C. exciting D. different

C

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early. When he was 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry. In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others). World War II hugely changed von Neumann?s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He

received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer. Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been

enough to earn him a firm place in history. He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Von Neumann really was a legend (传奇) in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of this legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”

9. According to the passage, von Neumann?s father believed that ________. A. a mathematician couldn?t earn a lot of money B. a mathematician needed a good memory

C. von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same time D. von Neumann had a gift for solving problems at a high speed 10. Von Neumann published his first book at the age of ________. A. 23 B. 26 C. 29 D. 32

11. How did World War II affect John von Neumann? A. He realized the importance of engineering.

B. He began to research how to put mathematics into practice. C. He left college and served at the government department. D. He lost interest in chemistry.

12. From the last paragraph, we can infer John von Neumann was _______.
