阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A ★
If there is one person who has left a deep impression on me, it’s my teacher Mrs. Pathak who was my class teacher for three years. In my childhood, how I wished I had a mother or a sister like her. One moment she could be tough (严厉的) and strict, another moment caring and compassionate (富有同情心的).
She always encouraged us to tell the truth. For instance, if one had not done the homework, he need not lie. She allowed us to make mistakes, saying we couldn’t be perfect all the time, but we should try.
Another thing she taught me early on was punctuality. She set a good example with her own behaviour. She was always on time, so we students tried our best to be on time.
She surprised us with her sense of humour. Her classroom teaching was always humorous. After class, she talked to us and told us jokes.
We really felt free to ask questions and Mrs. Pathak would give the answers. If she did not know — there had been some occasions (场合) — she would say so. We all then tried to find out the answers. Whoever came up with the answer was appreciated and given the due credit (应有的称赞). Now I sometimes wonder whether Mrs. Pathak was pretending just to encourage us to explore and find answers by ourselves.
56. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT suitable for describing Mrs. Pathak?
A. Tough. B. Humorous. C. Compassionate.
D. Careful.
57. The underlined word “punctuality” in the third paragraph probably means _____. A. being on time B. being honest C. being patient
D. being clean
58. The underlined word “so” in the last paragraph means that _____. A. the answers were not right B. she didn’t know the answers C. the answers were correct D. she would give the answers
59. In the author’s opinion, why didn’t Mrs. Pathak give the answers to the questions sometimes?
A. Because she didn’t like answering the questions. B. Because she didn’t know the answers to the questions.
C. Because she wanted the students to find them out by themselves. D. Because she thought the students knew the answers already.

In England, we look forward to our birthdays for 364 days a year! We invite special people to celebrate it with us.
The Presents

presents later in the day!

Friends and family send birthday cards. Sending birthday cards is a custom (风俗) that
began in England about 100 years ago. The Party
The birthday child will have a party to which friends and family are invited. Visitors to
the party bring presents for the birthday child. The children play games such as musical chairs and pass the parcel (包裹). The Cake
The birthday cake is decorated on a theme (主题). A candle for each year is lit and
placed on top and the child blows out the candles making a wish. We don’t put objects inside the cake as stated on many websites. The Bumps (碰撞)
It used to be traditional for the birthday child to have the bumps. Friends would hold the
child by the legs and under the arms and lift the child up and down bumping them gently on the ground. The number of bumps given is the age of the child plus one for extra good luck. As this can be dangerous, clapping (拍手) is often done instead. The Sweets
