A broken wheel made him an hour late; his ladder (梯子) fell down when he was painting the roof and now his old truck wouldn' t start. With each problem he shouted angrily, more at himself than at his things. As I drove him home, the man didn't say a word. I tried talking to the man to kill time. I managed to find out that he had come up from Blue Hills in Victoria with his family six months ago to find a job. This was his first job since moving here. I now knew why his price was lower than any other worker I could find in the local newspaper. He really needed the job. His clothes told me as much. On arriving, much to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked through his front garden he suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then, when he opened the door he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile, hugs for his two children and a kiss for his wife. The following day, I asked him about the tree. "That's my trouble tree," he answered. "Work troubles aren't welcome at home with my wife and the children. So I hang them on that tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. " "And you know what else?" he said smiling,"The next morning I find that there aren't as many as I remember hanging up the night before. " 46.

To send good wishes to his family. D. To clean his hands. 50. What can we learn from the passage? A. Looking for a job can make trouble. B. It is important to get to work on time. C. Often our problems are worse than what we think. D. A happy family can make many problems go away. B It is said that all dreams serve a purpose ( 目的). While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have. One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and again, often for many months or even years. Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop. Others think they are a way to help people remember something very important. Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare. The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes. Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life. Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world." We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting. They help us think about our future. Lucid dreams are the most fun. These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming. Instead of waking up, they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie. 51. The underlined word "they" (in paragraph 2) refers to "_________". A. dreams B. problems C. dreamers D. scientists 52. The underlined word " terrifying" (in paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to A. frightening B. interesting C. disappointing D. amazing 53. When might a person daydream? A. During a very interesting movie. B. While playing at a fun park. C. While listening to an uninteresting talk. D. When making a movie. 54. How do we know if We are lucid dreaming? A. We can remember the dream very clearly. B. We can control what happens in the dream. C. We think that the dream is like a movie. D. We feel very nervous after we wake up. 55. What is the best title of the passage? A. Daydreaming of You B. Enjoy Your Dream C. What Dreams Mean D. Where Dreams Go C Zheng He, the Columbus of the East, was an amazing man. He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government. The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia. Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50 000 kms during the years of his travels. With 28 000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses, Zheng He led a fleet (舰队) whose size would not be equalled by Europeans for over 500 years. On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe. It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He' s travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He. 56. Why did the Chinese King want Zheng He to sail to many different countries? A. To bring new countries under the control of China. B. To show the world how strong the King was. C. To receive gifts from the kings of other countries. D. To discover unusual animals. 57. What do we know about Zheng He from the passage? A. He sailed to all seven continents. B. Each of his trips lasted one year. C. He died at the age of 62. D. He was a successful businessman. 58. Which of the following did Zheng He NOT bring with him from China? A. Medicine. B. Gold. C. Animals. D. Jwellery. 59. What happened after Zheng He died? A. He was forgotten for ever. B. His ships were all burned. C. The new king wrote a book about him. D. Sea trips to other countries were stopped. 60. In what order did the following happen? a. Zhu Di became the King. b. Zheng He was caught by soldiers. c. The books about Zheng He were all burned. d. Foreigners were brought to China. e. Zheng He visited India. f. New ships were built. A. e, b, a, f, d, c B. b, a, e, d, c, f C. f, a, b, d, c, e D. b, a, f, e, d, c D KINGS HOTEL-CUSTOMER COMMENTS I cannot say enough good things about the Kings Hotel.
