第三部分阅读理解(共20小题。每小题2分,;满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。                           
Everyone has their friends, but I knew one girl who didn't. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was reading, studying, and doing homework. I don't think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and
those who did only made fun of her. I had heard all kinds of rumors (谣言) that she had problems, but I didn't really believe them. I felt bad for her.
My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said "Hi" to her, but she wasn't our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.
That summer I got a letter. When I opened it, I realized it was from her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you
became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I even wanted to kill myself. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted and included. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and switching to another school next year. I'll never forget you and what you did."
By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.
56. What kind of person does the underlined word "geek" in Para1 probably refer to?
A. A confident and hardworking student.
B. A dishonest and badly behaved person.
C. Someone is not popular and does strange things
D. Someone is naughty and always makes fun of others.
57. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend?
A. Happy and comfortable.                 B. Pleased and confident.
C. Worried and surprised.                   D. Sad and lonely.
58. From the passage, we learn that the author and her friends ______.
A. helped get the girl out of trouble           B. got the girl to go to another school
C. changed the girl’s the habit of working hard  D. didn't want to help the girl at all
59. What's the best title for the passage?
A. A Strange Girl                          B. A Quiet Heart
C. A Girl without Any Problems              D. Just the littlest Things
