The worker I hired to repair my house had just finished a difficult first day on the job. A broken wheel made him an hour late; his ladder (梯子) fell down when he was painting the roof and now his old truck wouldn' t start. With each problem he shouted angrily, more at himself than at his things. As I drove him home, the man didn't say a word.

I tried talking to the man to kill time. I managed to find out that he had come up from Blue Hills in Victoria with his family six months ago to find a job. This was his first job since moving here. I now knew why his price was lower than any other worker I could find in the local newspaper. He really needed the job. His clothes told me as much.

On arriving, much to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked through his front garden he suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then, when he opened the door he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile, hugs for his two children and a kiss for his wife.

The following day, I asked him about the tree.

\"That's my trouble tree,\" he answered. \"Work troubles aren't welcome at home with my wife and the children. So I hang them on that tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. \"

\"And you know what else?\" he said smiling,\"The next morning I find that there aren't as many as I remember hanging up the night before. \"

56. Which of the following things did NOT happen to the worker? A. His truck broke down. B. He was late for work. C. He fell onto the roof. D. His ladder fell down.

A. Through a newspaper. B. Beside the trouble tree. C. In his old house. D. In Blue Hills, Victoria. 59. Why did the worker touch the tree?

A. To get good luck, B. To leave his trouble outside. C. To send good wishes to his family. D. To clean his hands. 60. What can we learn from the passage? A. Looking for a job can make trouble. B. It is important to get to work on time.

C. Often our problems are worse than what we think. D. A happy family can make many problems go away.

Most Chinese people these days know what it is like to have an “English teacher”, since almost all pupils study English from their third year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards，fun English- language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened (唤起) when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself! I was puzzled and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his idea. At first, I read stories with tears and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny

You are not supposed to think about your exams all the time, which only makes you more stressed out. Instead, you should think about the progress you have made in your study, which will surely increase your own confidence.

I hope you will get out of your trouble sooner and live happily. Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
