“Yes, I’ll be ready at nine in the morning. Goodbye, dear, and thanks again. ”It had not been an easy telephone call for Mrs. Robson to make. Her daughter had been very kind, of course, and had immediately agreed to pick her up and drive her to the station, but Mrs. Robson hated to admit that she needed help. Since her husband had died ten years before, she had prided herself on her independence. She had continued to live in their little house, alone.
On this evening, however, she was standing at the living-room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Of course, she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale of the house, she had bought a little flat there. She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the room. One or two pieces of furniture remained, covered with sheets. All her pictures had been taken from the walls. There was a small fish tank（鱼缸）, with two goldfish in it. When asked why, her husband used to say: “It’s nice to have something alive in the room. ” Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, had always had “something alive in the room. ”
The next morning, as her train was pulling out of the station, Mrs. Robson called to her daughter, “Kate, you won’t forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It’s …”
“I know, ”Kate interrupted gently. “It’s nice to have something alive in the room. ”But in the little house, the two goldfish had stopped their circling. They were floating on the water, in the room with silent walls.

BRITISH writer J.K. Rowling hinted last Thursday that she may not stop at seven books about the adventures of Harry Potter.
It has a live Web chat to mark World Book Day. And, Rowling---who has always insisted she would write only seven Potter books---was asked by a fan if she intended to write books about Harry after he leaves Hogwarts, the academy for wizards.
“Probably not. But I’ll never say never. That’s because every time I do I immediately break the vow. ”she replied.
Rowling, whose wealth was recently estimated at US $ 1 billion, is writing the sixth Potter book.
In the Web chat, she was flooded with 16,000 questions from devoted readers of her wizard sagas. The release in June last year of the fifth book was billed as the world’s biggest book launch.
Asked what would happen if fiction（幻想）became fact, Rowling said: “I think I’d most like to spend a day with Harry. I’d take him out for a meal and apologize for everything I put him through. ”
Then she jokingly warned that even tougher times faced Potter: “In Book Six, the wizarding world is really at war again. And he has to make himself useful. ”
“If I were Harry Potter, I would hide because I know what is coming, ”she said.
59 What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

C. Rowling would deal with 16,000 questions from readers in the Web chat.
D. Rowling would be asked as many as 16,000 questions in the Web chat.
60. We can learn from the passage that

C
Maria sat by the glass door that faced the side yard. The door hadn’t been opened as long as she had lived there. The dirty yard outside was overgrown with weeds (杂草). Maria liked to look at the weeds. Small flowers would grow, followed by seed balls. And the seed carriers would fly away.
The late afternoon sunlight died into night. Turning on the light, Maria picked up her colored pencils and notepaper. She worked on a picture of a clearing in a forest.
"Maria!" called her father, who knew where to find her. "I’m back!" He had been working at the apartments next door.
"Did you fix their broken blender, Papa?" She asked, and he said, "Yes." He pushed his daughter’s wheelchair into the kitchen so that she could help him prepare dinner. Maria cut up the vegetables that Papa had grown in the small yard behind the house. She loved their bright colors, their strange shapes, and their fresh, crispy taste before being cooked. She would have loved to garden herself, but it was hard for her to sit on the ground and work.
As they ate and talked about their day, Papa told Maria that his brother, Ramon, would be coming over the next day to help him with a special project. Papa had asked Mr. Yamato, the bus driver, to take her to Aunt Gabriela’ s house after school. Then Papa would pick her up when the project was finished. Maria wondered why she had to be away while he worked. There was something in Papa’s eyes and in his voice, perhaps -that told her not to ask.
When Papa brought her home the next evening, he asked her to close her eyes while he took her to the glass door. She heard him open the curtain. Then he said, "Open your eyes."
Surely she was dreaming! The tall crowd of weeds was gone. In its place was a beautiful garden. There were young trees, flowery bushes, and colorful little flowers. Papa opened the glass door. He wheeled Maria to a path that led to the heart of the little garden. Then she saw the best part. Along the house were raised wooden beds of soil, just waiting to be planted - by her! They were exactly the right height for her to reach from her wheelchair.
"First I’ll draw a plan," she said excitedly.
"And then we’ll go to the garden center," said Papa. "You’re a gardener now, Maria!"
63. From the story, we can learn that Papa_________.
A. likes his garden better than his daughter
B. is interested in fixing broken blenders
C. wants the readers to look at his project
D. cares very much for his daughter Maria
64. The author wants to_________ by writing this passage.
A. impress the readers with a happy and moving story
B. show us plants for sale at the garden center in the yard
C. encourage readers that gardening is easy and full of fun
D. inform readers about some special projects with gardening
65 Maria could not help Papa in the garden because_________.
A. Papa didn’t want anyone to touch his flowers
B. it was hard for her to sit on the ground and work
C. she didn’t know how to care for vegetable plants
D. the garden was full of weeds and tiny seed balls
