　　How I Turned to Be Optimistic(2009·北京卷A)

　　I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some peopleon the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

　　I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

　　The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”

　　My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

　　From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

　　【文章大意】 離開祖國遠赴異鄉前難以割舍對故鄉的情懷，可是那片陌生而又神奇的土地在召喚著一顆幼小的心。異域風情曾讓作者一度困惑，但更增強了作者對美好生活的憧憬。

　　56．選擇C。細節理解題。根據第二段后半部分中的“...I had known only from books and pictures.”可知作者只是在書本和圖畫中對美國有所了解。

　　57．選擇B。推理判斷題。第一段中雖然提到作者最初哭泣著不愿去美國，但根據第二段中的內容可知作者對那些陌生而又神奇的地方充滿了幻想，甚至再也沒有回到祖國的打算，由此可推測作者感到非常“興奮”。[來源:學,科,網Z,X,X,K]

　　58選擇C。細節理解題。根據第三段第二句中的內容可知作者在紐約的最初兩年不得不在三所不同的學校學習。本句的前半句意思是說作者當時感到無所適從，而不是經常迷路，所以A項不正確；根據下一句中的內容可排除B項。

　　59．選擇D。推理判斷題。本段第一句是本段的主題句，再結合下文中提到的事例可推測作者的英語能力給了她的家庭很大幫助。[來源:學|科|網]

　　60．選擇D。作者態度題。根據最后一段的中間一句可知作者堅信美好的事情一定會發生，只是需要耐心。
