first-generation, italian immigrant（移民）. she came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during world war i when she was only 8 years old. during the trip she survived stormy seas，little food, and an attack by a german u-boat. after getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in america. they never had much money but were rich in love.one day，when i was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. it was just me and nanny in the house for the weekend. nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by her. she made me a special breakfast that first morning. however, all i could do was to complain about how the food was not how mom always made it. nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. i followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. it was the first time i had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and i was the one who had caused it. i walked over to nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life i did something else too. i apologized without being told to and asked nanny to forgive me. she smiled, rubbed my head, and told me i was a good boy even though i didnt feel like one then.that memory just like my nannys love will stay in my heart forever. it is a sign of both strength and wisdom. asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.56. nannys family moved to america mainly because _.a. they suffered hunger in their homelandb. they wanted to start a rich life in the new landc. they tried to get away from the terrible climated. their country was in war and they needed peace57. the boy complained to nanny that the food _.a. wasnt cooked the way his mom didb. was served a bit later than usualc. was prepared in a special wayd. was just to his parents taste58. when seeing nanny crying in the living room, the author felt _.a. surprised b. ashamed c. shocked d. annoyed59. the author mainly wants to tell us that _. a. hardships can make children more independentb. forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for itc. grandparents tolerate more than their grandchildrend. family ties can sometimes be misusedbhave you ever gone to work to find that one of your coworkers is coughing and sneezing all day long? you do your best to keep a safe distance and wonder: why did he or she come to work when they were ill? the reality for many americans is that they do not have enough paid sick time each year to afford them the luxury（奢侈）of staying home because they dont feel well.this problem doesnt just affect the working employees who are sick, though. in an article by james warren for bloomberg business week, a second-grade school teacher, stilli klikizos shares about the sick children that must stay in school all day long because their parents cant get off work to come and get them. in the past school year, she had several children who were unable to be picked up at school who were later diagnosed with h1n1.there is a movement called the healthy families act in congress（議會） that would change this situation for many americans. the healthy family act would require employers with 15 or more employees to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workers. these days could be used not only for days when the worker is sick, but the time can also be used when caring for others, or going to routine doctors appointments.those who are against the act argue that many businesses are struggling to make ends meet owing to recession (經(jīng)濟衰退), and point out that this is the wrong time to force employers to add an additional expense.those who support the healthy families act say that our nation cant afford to not deal with it. when an individual goes to work sick, they are possibly infecting their coworkers, clients and customers.according to a report by katie couric on the cbs evening news, three fourths of low wage（薪水）earners get docked when they are on sick leave. those individuals include daycare workers and restaurant workers, whose health can affect the health of many.60. why do many americans still come to work when they are sick?a. they often ignore the illness if not serious.b. the cost of staying home is great.c. they work in high spirits.d. the cost of medical treatment is high.61. in the article mentioned in this passage, james warren intends to say _.a. adults not having enough paid sick time may be bad for children b. teachers are responsible for taking good care of children at schoolc. parents shouldnt leave the sick children at schoold. children need more thoughtful and considerate care62. according to the healthy families act, _.a. all the employers are required to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workersb. the employees could demand their companies pay for their medical billsc. the employees can use the paid sick days to take care of their sick children d. the employees can use the paid sick days to take a trip so as to relax themselves.63. why are some people against the healthy families act?a. the nation cant afford to do as the act requires.b. companies have no such duty to provide paid sick time.c. many companies financial situations are not so good due to the recession.d. usually ones illness wont infect his coworkers and customers.64. the term get docked in paragraph 6 probably means _.a. get fired b. lose part of wages c. lose their health d. get paidcfor high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(實習). in some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. in the united states, however, such programs are still few and far between.research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. the students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education. in germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. german companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment. but in america, education reform (改革) programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. harvard education school professor robert schwartz has criticized （批評）education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable(易受影響的)kids with no jobs and no skills. schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. james madison high school in new york, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. the school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school. however, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. in the us, unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “the risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said michael, a researcher in the us.65. whats the main idea of the text?a. arguments about recent us education reform.b. tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.c. the lack of career-based courses in us high schools.d. advice for american high school leavers.66. in the authors opinion, american high school leavers_.a. have enough career-related coursesb. need more career advice from their schoolsc. perform better in exams than german studentsd. can get higher earnings in later years 67. according to robert schwartz, _. a. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the usb. teenagers in the us cant miss out on the summer job experiencec. education reform should focus on students performance in examsd. students should get contact with the working world at high school 68. the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 6 most probably means _. a. discouragingb. interestingc. creatived. unbearable69. what can be inferred from the text?a. unemployment rates for us teenagers remain high at the moment.b. students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.c. us companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment. d. high school leavers with no practical skills cant find a job a
