I fully remembered that I began to grow up that day when my parents and I were returning

from my aunt's house. My mother said we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I knew that I

didn't have to hear again the recorded radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I thought about all the places I was going to see the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even harder for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration(移民) officers took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company clerks.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually (最终) go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.( )61. How did the author get to know America?

A. From her relatives in her aunt's home

B. From her parents on the bus.

C. From books and pictures.

D. From the recorded radio programs at school.

( )62. The author felt _______when he left for America.

A. unbelievable

B. worried

C. excited

D. amazed

( )63. For the first two years in New York, the author ________.

A. studied in different schools

B. did not think about her own future

C. often lost her way

D. got along well with her stepfather

( ). What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?

A. She worked as an immigration(移民) officer.

B. She attended a lot of job interviews.

C. She paid telephone bills for her family.

D. She helped her family with her English.

( )65. The author believes that _______.

A. her future will be free from troubles from her experiences

B. good things will happen if one keeps trying

C. there are almost all common troubles instead of good things

D. it is not easy to wait for something good

I often traveled for business and my mind was always filled with so many business affairs to

deal with. I got used to preparing for the next one even if I wasn't on a trip. "A man is always busy

feeding his family and of course he has no time to manage household affairs in his family." I thought.

That day, I packed my luggage and was ready to leave for my two-day business trip again. As

I got into the car to leave, my mind suddenly flew to my kids. Would my kids miss me when I was

far away? Should I tell them I was always thinking about them though I was busy all the time? As I

started down the road, I stopped. I turned back to my house and wrote a short message on a few

cards to each of my children. I put each in a “secret” place where I knew they'd find it later.

When I called the next night, they both shouted aloud, "Daddy, we got your cards! We love

you, too. But when did you do that?"

Those simple words almost moved me to tears. I never thought such a small thing could have

such a big influence on my kids. To my joy, they felt "love" from their dad that day! Distance didn

separate them from their dad. It proved that I was always in their hearts, and they were of course in

my heart, too.As I look back, I am ashamed that I paid less attention to my kids. In fact, it doesn't take long to show care and love, Just some small things can make my kids see how important they are to me.

( )66. According to Paragraph 1, the author might think _______.

A. men shouldn't pay much attention to their kids

B. kids don't like to stay with their fathers

D. raising a family should be the main task for a man

( )67. The author suddenly stopped on the way, perhaps because _______.

A. he considered he left something important at home

B. his kids didn't kiss him before leaving for the business trip

C. he wanted to do something to show his care to his kids

D. he forgot to buy some nice gifts for his kids

( )68. Why was the author so moved that night?

A. Because his kids sent him a lovely card

B. Because he knew he was always important to his kids

C. Because he enjoyed himself a lot from the hide-and-seek game

D. Because the kids were so clever that they found the cards easily

( )69. What does the underlined word "that" in the third paragraph refer to?

A. Packing the luggage.

B. Finding the secret card

C. Writing short messages

D. Going back home
