The simplest way to say it is this I believe in my mother. My belief began when I was just a kid, who dreamed of becoming a doctor.

My mother was a 36 ．Through her work, she observed that 37 people spent a lot more time reading than they 38 watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV 39 during the week. With our 40 time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and 41 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 42 . My mother was illiterate（文盲）. 　　When I entered high school I was a(n) 43 student, but not for long. I began to like the fancy clothes. I wanted to 44 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from her various jobs and I 45 about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, "Okay, I'll give you all the money I have 46 this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With the money 47 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want." I was very pleased with that 48 but once I got through allocating（分配）money, there was 49 left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep the roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, let alone buy 50 . I also realized that my 51 wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my 52 and became an A-student again, and 53 I realized my dream and I became a doctor.　　My story is really my mother's story — a woman with 54 formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around, especially her children. There is no job more important than 55 .

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)

第一节 阅读下列短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Sam Trafton was my violin teacher and what he said during one of my lessons often came back to me years later.

One day he asked me how much I practiced, I said three or four hours a day.

“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”

“I try to.”

“Well, don’t,” he shouted. “When you grow up, time won’t come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day.”

When I was teaching at Boston, I wanted to write a novel, but for two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Sam had said. During the next week I did an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my surprise, at the end of the week I had finished a chapter. Later on I continued my novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, every day there were unoccupied moments that could be caught and put to use.

However, you must get into your work quickly. If you have only five minutes for writing, you can’t afford to waste for chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.

Sam Trafton has had a great influence on my life. He let me know that life can be counted on to supply you short moments and even very short periods of time can add up to all useful hours you need, if you start without delay.

56．The underlined part “counted on” in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by _______.

A．enriched B．added up to C．concentrated on D．expected

57．Which of the follow
