Last Sunday I saw the worst storm in years. It came suddenly and went on for more than three 

hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, and all was quiet.The strong 

wind started blowing into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew 

out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.

When I came back into the house, it was raining harder and harder. I tried very hard to close the 

window. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find 

out what it was--- a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the back room.

When I was seven years old，my family made me an ant farm (蚂蚁窝), First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.

    After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew well what to do. Each had its own job.

    On the fifth day something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over．All the tunnels fell down. Although (虽然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.

    My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness．They simply could not stand (忍受) that their tunnels were gone．

    Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.

    Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.

    But there was an even larger 1esson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life., and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.

Giving up is not a good choice.

50.Which of the following is WRONG according to (根据) the passage?

   A. Giving up isn't a good way when we meet trouble.

   B. Like people，teamwork is very important for the ants.

   C. The ants didn't die one by one after the tunnels were destroyed.

   D. The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to the glass farm.

51.What did the writer come to realize a few years later?

   A. Working together is useless.    

   B. Teamwork is important.

   C. Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life，and must be accepted.

   D. Working alone is amazing.

                                    D

Studying abroad can be a difficult experience, so you had better remember the following things.

    You can not completely(完全)enter another country if not leaving your home behind. When you are abroad, do not always speak on your mobile phone to people at home or spend too much time on the Internet.

    If you want to learn the language, you have to practise it. Because practice makes perfect.

    If you have made a choice to study in a foreign country, forget your pride(骄傲)and don't be afraid to make mistakes. It is natural for anyone to make mistakes when learning a new language. This is how we learn.

    Be 10 times more polite than usual. People are more likely to be helpful and patient if you are nice and polite. If you are staying with a family, make sure to clean the room and make your bed, and always be polite when talking to them.

    Try to get into the local society. School is important, but the cultural experience is also very important. We all like to get good grades and do well in school, but we can not fully understand the culture only in the classroom.

    Do not waste your time. Everyone has bad days when they miss home. These days will pass. Remember that you are one of the few lucky people. Go and learn about the world and, most importantly, have fun.

52. When you are in another country, it is better for you not to        .
