Some people believe that dreams can tell them what will happen in the

have had dreams that came true. One of these people was a man called John

Chapman, who lived in a small place, named Swaffham in England and was

deeply loved by people in this town. Though he was very poor, he was kind

John Chapman really needed money and wanted to have a try, so the next day he set off for London. He walked for three days and three nights and at last arrived at London Bridge. There were plenty of people on the bridge, but they were not interested in him. They were all unaware of him. Three days later, he decided to go home, but before he could do this a shopkeeper was approaching him.

“I’ve been watching you,” the shopkeeper said. “Are you waiting for someone?”

“Yes,” said John. “I had a dream about a man on London Bridge. He was going to lead me to own a lot of money.”

“Oh,” said the shopkeeper. “You shouldn’t believe in dreams. If I believed in dreams, I’d be in Swaffham right now. I had a dream a few days ago about a man from Swaffham. His name was John Chapman and he had gold in his garden near an old apple tree.”

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well, but usually write poorly because they make many mistakes.

The students who use dictionaries most do not learn quite well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. For this reason, they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.

The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context（语境）. Then they read again and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.

51. Why are students who never used dictionaries poor in writing?

A. Because they don’t know how to use right words.

B. Because they are not sure how to spell words.

C. Because they make a large number of mistakes.

A. the students who only look up key words

B. the students who look up every new word

C. the students who never use dictionaries

D. the students who use large edition dictionaries

53. What kind of English learners are probably the most successful ones?

A. Those who use dictionaries most

B. Those who use small two-language dictionaries

C. Those who sometimes use large college edition dictionaries

D. Those who never or hardly ever use dictionaries

54. When does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?

A. At the beginning of the reading.

B. At the end of the reading.

C. During the first reading.

D. After the first reading.

55. What is the best title of the passage?

A. How to make good use of a dictionary

B. Why to use a dictionary

C. How to improve spoken English

D. How to practise reading fast

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in the USA on September 24, 1896. Next, he was a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short time. In 1917 he joined the army and was sent to Alabama, where he met his wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to earn some money so that he could become rich and marry her.

His life with her was full of great happiness, and he wrote it in his diary —“My own happiness in the past often got such a joy that I could share it even with my dearest person, but I had to do so in quiet streets or in my diary.”

This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to spend more time on his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby (1925), which made him famous in the literary world. Yet

it failed to make him rich enough. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.

However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an influence on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder（重新调整）his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife fell seriously ill and had to go to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to (沉迷于) drinking. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him get out of such a bad habit.

56. When Fitzgerald was in his twenties, he was __________.

A. poor

C. smart

D. well educated

57. Why did Fitzgerald begin to spend more time on his writing?

A. Because he wanted to make a lot of money.

B. Because of the success of his first novel.

C. Because he wanted to share his happy life with others.

58. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. He failed to reorder his life during the 1920s though he tried.

B. His wife fell seriously ill and was sent to hospital by 1930.

C. He depended a lot on drinking while his wife was in hospital in America.

D. He didn’t keep himself away from drinking even with the help of his friend.
