B
"Dr．Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?"
The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go．Dr．Papaderos held up his hands and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was．
"I will answer your question．"
Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather wallet and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter．And what he said went like this: "When I was a small child during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village．One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror．A German motorcycle had been broken in that place．
I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece．This one．and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round．I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—n deep holes and crevices（裂缝）and dark closets．It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find．
I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in spare time and continue the challenge of the game．As I became a man, I got to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life．I came to understand that I was not the light or the source of light．But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it．
I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know．Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people．Perhaps others may see and do likewise． This is what I am talking about．This is the meaning of my life．
59．On hearing the author's question, Dr．Papaderos_____at first．
A．laughed at his foolishness
B．wasn’t sure of the answer
C．doubted his seriousness
D．wasn't interested at all
60．How did Dr．Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?
A．He found it on the road and made it round．
B．A dying German soldier gave him as a present．
C．He bought it by chance on his way home．
D．He put the broken pieces together and made it．
61．Why did Dr．Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?
A．Because he was too poor to afford other good toys．
B．Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn't reach．
C．Because he believed it would bring good luck to him．
D．Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him．
62．The best title for the passage might be " _____" ．
A．The Meaning of Life
B．A Broken Piece of Glass
C．Dr．Papaderos’Experience
D．A Special Game in the Childhood
C
Two Christmas traditions have come under attack in recent years from environmentalists: Christmas cards and Christmas trees．
Paper cards are seen as wasteful and, for some people, going card ?free is another way of going green．They also argue that in a world of e—mail, Skype, Facebook and Twitter, people are in touch all the time anyway; they no longer need the yearly card that connects them with long lost friends．If you want to send Christmas greetings, there are free e—ca
