If you lose 12 times, will you just give up? Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and self-development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.

Carnegie was born in 1888 to a poor farming family in the central United States. The boy didn’t see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens, he had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to milk the cows in his family.

When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary looks. His mother encouraged him, “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”

Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate (辩论) team. But one after another, he lost 12 times. The young man was very upset. He said later that he thought of killing himself after so many failures.

But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work paid off at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became widely known.

The young man made his own words come true, “Believe that you will succeed, and you will”. In order to share his success, Carnegie opened schools and wrote books. His best-sellers include How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to Stop Worming and Start Living. More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed in 38 languages.

Zhou Chuna, a normal 15-year-old girl, shared her experience of cosmetic surgery (整容手术), more and more young people in China are having cosmetic surgery. It was reported that 19 percent of Chinese medical beauty customers in 2020 were aged 18 or under.

Many beauty clinics (诊所) say that being more beautiful gives people an advantage in society, but the truth is that failed examples of cosmetic surgery are common to see. Once a teenage girl named Zhang had double eyelid surgery.

Moreover, a large number of beauty care centers actually open against the law. It is said that China has about 13, 000 beauty clinics.

More worrying, there is heated competition among the medical beauty clinics to win more teenage customers.

Some businesses use catchphrases like “Only by becoming prettier can you be more loved” to spread “appearance stress”. And many beauty clinics advertise directly to teenagers, encouraging them to “make some changes and let your classmates be amazed by your beauty in the new term”. ▲ . One Internet user said she saw an advertisement for a 15-yuan treatment for pimples (青春痘) but the staff at the beauty clinic gave her a year’s surgery plan which cost 8, 000.

Many experts have said it’s dangerous for teenagers to have cosmetic surgery. Teenagers are more at risk to advertisement and social pressure, not to mention their level of physical maturity (成熟). That’s why they are calling for stricter rules on the beauty clinics when it comes to the treatment of teenagers.

56．The first paragraph mainly talks about ________.

A．the possible danger of cosmetic surgery

B．the popularity of cosmetic surgery with teenagers

C．the hot discussion about cosmetic surgery

57．Which of the following sentences can be put in the “________”?

B．These ads cause problems for the teenagers’ study

B．point out the danger of the false advertising to teenagers

C．ask the government to pass laws to stop the cosmetic surgery

D．remind parents to give more attention to the growth of teenagers

59．The best structure of the passage may be ________.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。

     My name is Peter. I come from a small village, close to London. I’ve been crazy about Chinese history and culture. So I learned Putonghua in the university and I am good at speaking it. Three years ago, I came to China. I am an English teacher in a middle school in Chongqing, a city in the southwest. Now I get used to the life here except one thing—the language, the Chongqing dialect(方言).

When I talk with older people, they prefer to speak the Chongqing dialect, which is different from Putonghua. Putonghua has only four tones(语调) while there are five in the Chongqing dialect. Besides, some sounds of the words are really confusing(混淆). The “h” sound in the middle of words is not pronounced. For example, “shuo”, which I learned in the university becomes “suo” with no “h” sound. You can’t imagine how difficult it is to use the numbers “four” and “ten”. Even people from other parts of China feel it difficult to understand the Chongqing dialect when hearing it.

65．Does Peter come from England?

66．What subject does Peter teach in a middle school?

67．What makes it difficult for Peter to understand the Chongqing dialect?
