a. political ideas.b. religious beliefs.c. hard life.d. hopes for fortune.57. what threatened the pilgrims most when they first arrived the new world? a. cold and starvation.b. wild animals.c. local people.d. sickness.58. why did the pilgrims hold a banquet one year after their arrival in the new world? a. to memorize their family members left in england. b. to celebrate their survival from religious persecution. c. to thank the native americans for their help. d. to celebrate the new state theyve set up.59. for thanksgiving, all the activities are normally done except _. a. enjoying a big mealb. making paper turkeysc. doing crossword puzzlesd. sing christmas songs60. the passage was written to show the writers attitude of being _. a. knowledgeableb. responsiblec. energeticd. thankfulbhave you ever been to the worlds smallest bookstore?the worlds smallest bookstore, whose official name is just these three words, sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of toronto.the bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet, so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is. the bookstore is open 24 hours a day. inside the bookstore are various books, especially literary books and classic authors works. so if you are looking for something less popular, you may get a bit disappointed there.another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars. all the expenses are paid on the honor system, which means buyers should make a note of what theyve bought and leave their money by themselves. so the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens, papers, light bulbs and a label-maker.in order to catch passers-bys attention, the billboards(廣告牌) of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself. with these large eye-catchers, many people are willing to stop by and have a visit.61. whats the passage mainly about?

a. put yourself in a difficult position and meet the challenge. b. try your best to be successful in academic performances. c. try everything you are interested in and make comparison. d. choose a target and insist on it regardless of failures.70. michelle mentioned obama as an example of _. a. winning the voteb. overcoming difficultiesc. being a top studentsd. doing public servicedall work and no play makes jack a dull boy. that saying holds true not only for you and me, but also for some of the most powerful and influential people in the world, such as the presidents of the united states.but how do american presidents spend their vacation time? lets take a look!franklin d. roosevelt, considered one of the greatest presidents in american history, had limited vacation options because of his polio(小兒麻痹癥). he began visiting warm springs, georgia in 1924 for its curative waters and later built a 2,000 acre polio treatment center nearby. he liked to cruise the potomacon his yacht(游艇) and three times as president returned to his beloved canadian island of campobello, with which he fell in love as a kid.former president bill clinton, however, was never much good at vacationing. his staff had to practically force him to go on vacation his first year in office; his idea of relaxing was reading four good books simultaneously(同時(shí)) while enjoying a cigar (chewed, not smoked). he could also lose himself in a game of golf, where his somewhat flexible interpretation of the rules could at times drive his partners crazy.obamas predecessor(前任) also knows how to relax. fishing is in the bush family dna: for blue sharks off the coast of maine or anything with fins, almost anywhere else. george w. bush also relaxed as president by jogging and clearing brush on his texas ranch. since leaving office, he has become an active mountain biker and, more recently, has taken up painting.obama tends to take a winter break in hawaii, where he was born and raised, and a summer vacation in marthas vineyard, off the southern coast of cape cod, massachusetts. in between, he plays basketball every couple of weeks and has been known to do some skeet shooting at camp david. obamas favorite pastime, no matter the location, has become easy to spot: golf.71
