26、y study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer, where things stored up for years, when I turned up one of fathers old business cards that he was so proud of: Andrea Cuomo, Italian-American Groceries-Fine Imported Products.

We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even trees. One, in particular, was a great gree
28、n pine that must have been 40 feet tall. Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible storm. We came home from the store that night to find the pine pulled almost totally from the ground and leaned forward, its mighty nose bent into the ground. When my brother Frankie and I saw the pine,
29、 our heart sank. But not fathers. The rain was falling. Then he announced,“ OK, we are going to push him up!“ “What am you talking about, daddy? The roots are out of the ground !“ “Shut up, were going to push him up, hes going to grow again. “We couldnt say no to him. So we followed him into the hou
30、se and we got a rope and tied the rope around the tip of the tree that lay in the round, and he stood up by the house, with me pulling on the rope and Frankie in the street in the rain, helping to push up the great green pine. In no time at all, we had it standing up straight again! Father drove a w
31、ooden pole in the ground, tied rope from the trunk to the pole, and said,“ Dont worry, hes going to grow again.“ I looked at the card and wanted to cry 1 couldnt wait to get back into the campaign. 46 The word “quit“ ( Line 2, Para. 1 ) means _. （ A） to set to （ B） to give up （ C） to hold on （ D） to

46、ncipal technique in current use for teaching reading at the intermediate stage, a stage occurring between a beginning stage and an advanced stage, is that of graded readers. It is generally accepted that the achievement of fluency and that of a wider coverage of the language are desirable aims, and
47、most teachers strive to obtain a large quantity of reading matter, often distinguishing between intensive and extensive reading. Two sources of difficulty exist: first, it is extremely difficult, in practice, for the teacher to meet the needs of each individual learner at the various different times
48、 that individuals actually become intermediate learners. Classwork presupposes that all learners progress from one stage to another at the same moment, which is not true. To try and get over this problem there is currently a wave of interest in individualization, that is, in providing within a commo
