When 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped onto the stage of Britain’s Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”, few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain’s Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn’t hide the awkwardness when walki ng to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone — including the judges — seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end.
After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, “Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I’ve had in three years o f this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you．No one is laughing now．That was amazing．Actress Amanda Holden followed, "I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you．I honestly think that we were all being very cynical（愤世嫉俗的）and I think that's the biggest wake-up call ever．"
Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic．Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1．5 million followers—speak highly of her．Kutcher posted a link to the video clip（片段）．The Scottish talent made her live American debut（首次演出）via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room．And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host Oprah Winfrey．
Now Boyle has bee one of the world's hottest celebrities．The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on Youtube, being a hit on the Internet．
56．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle_____．
A．rose from a low social class

You either have it, or you don't—a sense of direction, that is．But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works．One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it．Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it, we lose it．
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around," says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project．"However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills．"
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction．He makes the following suggestions:
·If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing．
·If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree．Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return, go back along the same route．
·Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you．Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are．Now you need never get lost again!
60．Scientists believe that____．
A．some babies are bom with a sense of direction．
B．people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C．people never lose their sense of direction
D．everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth

C．They have a sense of direction and can find their way around
D．They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car．

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past．With the ing of new technologies like puters and smartphones, writing by hand has bee something of a nostalgic（怀旧的）skill．However, while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be
Successful—both in school and in life．
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says
it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand．
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to plete various writing tasks—both on a puter and by hand．The study, published in xx, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more plete sentences and had a faster word production rate．
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write．
"Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts．It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．" Berninger said．
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to Transcriber（转换）"those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen," the study said．Seeing the words in the "mind's eye" helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time．
“In our puter age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said．“But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the puter．”
68．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A．The absence of blackboard in classroom．B．The use of new technologies in teaching．C．The lack of practice in handwriting．D．The popular use of smartphones．69．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words．
B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability．
C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas．
D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas．
70．What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Window．B．Soul C．Picture．D．Imagination．71．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
A．puters can help people with their choice of words．
B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching．
C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms．
D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade．

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about petition．Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that petition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self–worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them, playing well and winning are often life–and–death affairs．In their single –minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite
attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame petition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under petitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to se ek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try．” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true petitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self – respect relies on how well one performs in parison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve （缓解）can we discover a new meaning in petition．
72．What does this passage mainly talk about?
A．petition helps to set up self-respect．
B．Opinions about petition are different among people．
C．petition is harmful to personal quality development．
D．Failures are necessary experiences in petition
73 ．The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means _____．
A．those who try their best to win
B．those who value petition most highly
C．those who are against petition most strongly
D．those who rely on others most for success
74．What is the similar belief of the true petitors and those with a desire to fail ?
A．One's worth lies in his performance pared with others．
B．One's success in petition needs great efforts．
C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills．
D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried．
75．Which point of view may the author agree to?
A．Every effort should be paid back．
B．petition should be encouraged．
C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter．
D．Fear of failure should be removed in petition．
