閱讀理解
A
The summer of 1936, the Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. Because Adolf Hitler childishly insisted that his performers were members of a “master race”, nationalistic feelings were at an all-time high.
I wasn't too worried about this. I'd trained，sweated myself for six years, with the Games in mind. On my way there all I could think about was taking home one or two of those gold medals. I had my eyes especially on the running broad jump. A year before, as a sophomore（大二學(xué)生），I'd set the world's record of 26 feet 8. 25 inches. Nearly everyone expected me to win this event.
I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials, a tall German boy named Luz Long hit the pit at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps！And Hitler hoped to win the jump with him. If Long won, it would add some new support to the Nazis' "master race" theory. After all，I am a Negro. Angry about Hitler's ways，I determined to go and really show Der Fuhrer and his master race who was superior and who wasn't.
An angry athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes. I was no exception. On the first two of my three qualifying jumps, I fouled（犯規(guī)）twice. "Did I come 3,000 miles for this?" I thought bitterly.
Walking from the pit, I kicked angrily at the dirt. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of the tall German broad jumper, who had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt. He offered me a firm handshake.
“Jesse Owens，I'm Luz Long. I don't think we've met.”He spoke English well，though with a German twist to it.
“Glad to meet you，you?" I said then，trying to hide my nervousness，I added，"How are you?"
"I'm fine. The question is; How are you?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
“Something must be eating you，”he said，“you should be able to qualify with your eyes closed.”
"Believe me，I know it.”I told him and it felt good to say that to someone.
56. The author was sure that he was able to win one or two gold medals, because-
A. he simply wanted to prove the Nazis' "master race" theory wrong
B. no other athlete was close to him
C. he had trained hard and was confident
D. he was much stronger and swifter than the other athletes
57. Who do you think the underlined word "Der Fuhrer" in the paragraph 3 refers to?
A. Jesse Owens.
B. Luz Long.
C. Adolf Hitler.
D. A running and jumping coach.
58. Luz Long really meant _____ by“Something must be eating you"．
A. to frighten the American athlete not to get the gold medal
B. to encourage Jesse Owens not to think about anything else and try his best
C. to tell Jesse Owens to close his eyes when he performed
D. to show off his foreign language skill
59. This passage implies＿．
A. Luz Long was a follower of the Nazis"` master race" theory
B. before the war nationalistic feelings were at an all-time high
C. Jesse Owens was looked down upon by others only because he was a Negro
D. even at that special time there was true friendship

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends，and they to me. Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today! Get a life. A real life, nor a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure，it is work.. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours，and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really had happened to me，something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice，it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all：
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness，because if you do，you will live it with joy and passion（激情）as it ought to be lived.

Years ago there was a group of brilliant young men at the University of Wisconsin, who seemed to have amazing creative literary talent. They were would-be extraordinary in their ability to put the English language to its best use. These promising young men met regularly to read and criticize each other's work.
These men were cruel with one another. They dissected（剖析）the smallest literary expression into a hundred pieces.
They were heartless，though，even in their criticism. The gatherings became such stages of literary criticism that the members of this special club called themselves the" Stranglers（扼殺者）.”
Not to be left behind，the women of literary talent in the university were determined to start a club of their own，one comparable to the Stranglers. They called themselves the " Wranglers（爭(zhēng)論者）”．They, too, read their works to one another. But there was one great difference. Their criticism was much softer, more positive, more encouraging. Sometimes, there was almost no criticism at all. Every attempt, even the slightest one，was encouraged.
Twenty years later a graduate of the university was doing a study of his classmates' careers when he noticed a vast difference in the literary accomplishments of the Stranglers as compared with the Wranglers. Of all the bright young men in Stranglers，not one had made a great literary accomplishment of any kind. From the Wranglers had come six or more successful writers，some of national fame such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings，who wrote the Yearling.
Talent between the two? Probably the same. Level of education? Not much difference. But the Stranglers strangled，while the Wranglers were determined to give each other a lift. The Stranglers made an atmosphere of disagreement and self-doubt. The Wranglers highlighted（突出）the best, not the worst.
68. What's the main difference between the two literature clubs in treating each other's works?
A. The men are cruel and the women are warmhearted.
B. The men are heartless and the women are strict.
C. The men are strict and the women are lively.
D. The men are critical and the women are encouraging.
69. From the passage we can learn that _____.
A. the less criticism the better
B. too much criticism may destroy creativity
C. the more praise the better
D. encouragement can make everyone succeed
70. Why did the women club obviously achieve more?
A. Because it provided an atmosphere of encouragement.
B. Because the women had no criticism to its members.
C. Because the men's club achieved nothing.
D. Because it learned lessons from the men's club.
71. The underlined word“accomplishments”in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as _____.
A. completeness B. movements
C. achievements D. results

Recently I was asked，"Are we anywhere near the day when you can climb into a car on Long Island, program it to take you to your niece's house in Chicago, hit enter, and after the first hundred yards, once you hit a main road，the car takes over automatically and you just sit back and enjoy the ride?"
It is a question I worry. But I had to answer truthfully：" Absolutely. We are without a doubt near that day. Look，we're already doing it with airplanes.
Northrop Grumman's Global Hawk takes off at an airbase in the U. S.，climbs to 50,000 feet, flies to Australia, and lands at an Australian air base, where there is a grandstand filled with military officials, ---with no human pilot.
The necessary technology is already here. We have radar technology that can be tied to cruise（巡航）control and brakes, which automatically adjusts（調(diào)整）your speed based on following distance and preprogrammed settings. It's still a little bit raw, but it does work great. The technology can allow cars and trucks to follow each other in very closely spaced roads.
GPS can also change speed with location. Let's say you're in a state with a 75-mph limit and you cross into a state with a 65-mph limit. GPS knows that and can adjust your speed accordingly.
