10.On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise(MLE),I didn't get a lot  of fan mail,so my attention was caught by a  letter on my desk one morning.
    When I opened it,I read:"Sweet piece of  writing on the Tigers.Keep up the good work."It was signed by Don Wolfe,the  sports editor. Because I was a teenager(being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch),his words could not have been more inspiring,I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old.Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer,I would reread Don's note and walk on air again.
    Later,when  I got to know him,I learned that Don made a habit of  writing a quick,encouraging note to people in all walks of life,"When I make others feel good about themselves,"he told me,"I feel good,too."
    Over the years,I've tried to copy Don and write uplifting words.In a world too often cold and unresponsive,such notes bring warmth.
    Why are positive note writers in such short supply?My guess is that many who shy away from  the  practice are too self-conscious.They are afraid they will be misunderstood.Thus it may cause troubles and problems.And it sounds insincere on the phone,Also,writing takes time;it is far easier to pick up the phone.
    The drawback of phone calls,of course,is that they do not last.A  note attaches more importance to our well-wishing.It is a matter of record,and our words can be read more than once savored (回味) and treasured,and they bring strength and love to us.
    Today  I sent a warm letter to my old boss.I  don't know if it will make his day,but it made mine.As my friend Don Wolfe said."Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel  good too."

56.What does the underlined  part"walk  on air"in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
(No more than 5 words)
Become confident./Feel good about himself./Become uplifted.
57.According to the author,why aren't  people  willing  to  write  letters?
(No more than 15 words)
Because they may be self-conscious,and writing may cause misunderstanding,and also take time.
58.Why did the author write to his old boss?(No more than 15 words)
To encourage him,make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself.
59.What's  the text mainly about?(No more than 10 words)
The power of a letter from Don Wolfe.
60.Were you  encouraged by anybody?And how?(No more than 25 words)
Yes,I was.When I didn't do well in an exam,my best friend encouraged me to be confident and worked harder..

分析 文章主要讲述了他人的看法对于一个人的影响,尤其是称赞的语言,可以鼓励一个人追求梦想.我们应该感谢鼓励我们的人,也应该去称赞鼓励他人.

解答 56.Become confident./Feel good about himself./Become uplifted.
词意猜测题  根据Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer,I would reread Don's note and walk on air again.可知,通过重读可以使自己更有自信,故答案为Become confident./Feel good about himself./Become uplifted.
57.Because they may be self-conscious,and writing may cause misunderstanding,and also take time.
细节理解题  由第五段many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious.They are afraid they will be misunderstood,这些人非常难为情,并且担心被人误解,可知他们都太在意别人的看法,故答案为:Because they may be self-conscious,and writing may cause misunderstanding,and also take time.
58.To encourage him,make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself.
推理判断题  根据I  don't know if it will make his day,but it made mine.As my friend Don Wolfe said."Making others feel good about thenselves me feel  good too."
可知,这样可以让他感觉比较好,同样自己也感觉不错,故答案为:To encourage him,make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself.
59.The power of a letter from Don Wolfe.
主旨大意题  根据全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了鼓励性的语言对于他人的影响,答案可以概括为:The power of a letter from Don Wolfe.
60.Yes,I was.When I didn't do well in an exam,my best friend encouraged me to be confident and worked harder.开放题   根据自己的实际情况组织答案,注意不要超过25个单词,注意时态用一般过去时.

20.Hank Viscardi was 26years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes.For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be--a full five feet eight inches tall.
Hank had been born without legs.Until he was seven,his world was a world of repeated operations.At last,he had no legs,but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.
Out of the hospital,Hank often found people slating at him with cruel interest.Children laughed at him and called him"Ape man"because his arms dragged on the ground.He went to school like other boys.His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.
After graduation,Hank worked his way through college.He swept floors,waited on table,or worked in one of the college offices.During all this busy life,Hank had been moving around on his stumps.But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer.Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.
Hank felt himself go cold all over.However,the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs.

When World War II came,he persuaded the Red Cross to give him a job.He took the regular training.He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers.Few knew that he was legless.This was the true story of Hank Viscardi,the man without legs.
