解答 51.In 2008 (该问题提问的是"希望铅笔"组织成立的时间.根据文章的第一句话:Adam Braun set up the organization(组织) Pencils of Promise in 2008.便可得出答案)
52.Every 90 hours (该题的疑问词是How often,提问的是频率,根据原文第一段中的  Six years later,the non-profit organization is building a new school somewhere every 90hours.可知该非营利组织每90分钟就会在某地建立一所学校.) 
53.A  pencil.(问题的意思是:如果这个印度男孩可以拥有世界上任何东西,他想要的是什么?根据原文中的"I thought the answer was going to be‘a house'or‘a car'or‘a boat'.His answer was‘a pencil'可知答案.)
