Crater(火山口) Lake National Park is Oregon' s only national park and it is one of the most accessible and breathtaking parks in the United States. The deep blue color of the lake's water almost seems unreal and it will fascinate you the first time you lay eyes on it. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States with the depth of 1,932 feet. It was formed 7,700 years ago from an eruption. A caldera (破火山口)was created from the volcano falling into itself, and later from rain and snow melt it was filled with the bluest of blue water. So blue in fact, as one story goes, that many years ago the Kodak Company used to send letters to its customers apologizing for its inability to match the color exactly. It' s hard to imagine that from such a violent eruption came one of the most beautiful and tranquil(宁静的)settings in the United States. Yet, high in the Cascade range, this 185,000-acre natural paradise awaits visitors with a feeling of being on top of the world, surrounded by peace solitude (偏静). Crater Lake is best visited during the summer months and into the fall. From October to July, a thick blanket of snow covers the park and encircles the lake. It's a setting best left for some of the best cross-country skiing in the nation.
( ) 56. The Lake with blue color water lies ___.
A. along Oregon state
B. in the east of the United States
C. in the mouth of a volcano
D. at the foot of a volcano in the National Park
( )57. From an outbreak, the Lake is ____ in the U.S.
A. no deeper than any other lake
B. no shallower than any lake else
C. deeper than any lake
D. deeper than any of the other lakes
( ) 58 What is the meaning of the sentences "So blue in fact, as one story goes."
A. A storyteller goes here and there to tell the fact that the Lake is blue.
B. It is said that the water in the Lake is most blue.
C. A story about its color spreads far and wide.
D. A story was told long ago about why the lake was so blue.
( )59. The best tourist season for Crater Lake is ____.
A. all the summer and autumn
B. from the early summer to the late autumn
C. in summer and the early autumn

Allan goes everywhere with Brigitte Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her
office at work and goes shopping with her. “Most people don't seem to mind Allan,” says Brigitte, who thinks he is wonderful. ‘He's my fourth child,’ she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog.
Brigitte and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so they aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
60. Brigitte pays taxes for Allan because .
A. he is her dog B. he is her child C. he follows her everywhere D. he often falls ill
61. The money paid as dog taxes is used to .
A. keep a high level of care for the people B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. provide medical care for dogs D. buy insurance for dog owners
62. If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?
A. The owner of the car. B. The owner of the dog.
C. The insurance company. D. The government.

London Thursday July 26 (Reuters)---Ian Johnstone missed his girlfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose to her. The problem is that she flew in the opposite direction.
He and Amy Dolby could even have met each other when they sat in the same airport waiting-room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.
Dolby, heartbroken when she arrived at Johnstine’s Sydney apartment to find he had flown to London, told the times: “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us. He is the most romantic person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动的)people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”
After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Johnstone’s astonished flat mate asking what she was doing there.
“The terrible truth dawned when I found that Ian’s suitcase and most of his clothing were missing. I sat on the end of his bed and cried my eyes out. And that really made me angry,” she said.
Johnstone, a 27-year-old bricklayer, had taken a year off to travel around Australia. But he was missing Dolby, a 26-year-old secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving for surprise.
He then flew home to Britain and went to her apartment armed with an engagement ring, champagne and flowers.
“I really missed Amy and I had been thinking about her all the time. I thought she was winding me up when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.
Johnstone then asked Dolby to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,” she said.

Research shows that parents who reward self-control and independence mean to have children with high achievement motivation(动力). Such parents set high standards for their children but allow them to work at their own level and to make their own mistakes. However, parents of low need achievers just set impossibly high goals for their children and make extreme demands. In addition, parents of high need achievers encourage good performance but do not scold their children when they fail. If a child comes back from school with four A's and one B on a report card, the parents focus on the A's; parents of a low need achievers would ask, "Why the B?"; parents of high need achievers deal with grades with warmth and suggestions for reasonable goals and ways to reach them. Parents of low need achievers might say, "You're dumb and lazy. You will never achieve anything." And punish the child. When a child is having trouble with a math problem, the parent of a high need achiever will suggest the general procedure(过程) and let the child work on the particular solution; a low need achiever's parent will solve the problem and then hand the child the answer.

Chinese students celebrate their birthdays in different ways, but the most common way is to have fun drinking, singing and dancing. On the birthday, one usually receives nice gifts and good wishes from friends and parents. Sometimes, parents will prepare a special dinner or a cake to show their love for their children.
Since birthday celebration is one of the important activities in one’s life, it can be done in more meaningful ways. For example, we can buy some flowers or cook a delicious meal for our mothers on that day. In this way, we express thanks to our parents in return for their love.
