Mark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his penname.
Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother’s care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. He didn’t like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河). He was nearly drowned nine times.
After his father’s death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot(领航员) and later joined the army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full time writer.

The word rodeo comes from the Spanish word for a place where cowboys sold cows. In the 1800s, cowboys from the southwestern United States came together in one town a few times each year in order to sell their cows. After they sold their cows, the cowboys had money and free time. They often tried to show off how well they had learned to ride and rope cows over the past year.
In 1888, the people of Prescott, Arizona began to sell tickets to these cowboy shows. After the show, prizes were given to the best cowboy acts. Since the first rodeo in 1888, rodeos have grown in popularity. Now people can see them 12 months out of the year in parts of the United States, Canada, and Australia.
The most popular things to see at rodeos are wild horse riding with and without a saddle, tying baby cows, and “bull wrestling”.
In bull wrestling, the cowboy must jump onto the back of a running bull. Using only his hands, the cowboy has got to stop the bull by making the bull fall to the ground. The cowboy who can do this the fastest is the winner.
Women do not usually take part in the main rodeo show, but women can compete in some events, like tying baby cows and racing in a special horse race.
61．How often are rodeos held?
A．Every month B．Once a year. C．Four times a year. D．Every four years.

If there is any single factor(因素) that makes for success in living, it is the ability to be benefited by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze(分析) defeat and actually learn something from it in this next undertaking(从事的工作). Wrongly take defeat for failure and you are sure indeed to fail. For it isn’t defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be afraid of . They are common incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to get rid of its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can cause within us such a strong wish to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a stick and try to pull it away, he will hold it more and more tightly until his whole weight is hung up. It is this same reaction(反应) that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you make full use of the power which defeat gives, you can complete with it far more than you are able to.
64．What does the author know?
A．He knows at least several examples of success.
B．He knows every success in life.
C．He knows every success that has been achieved by man.
D．It’s not referred to in the passage.
65．The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely .
A．to achieve success B．to be afraid of his defeat
C．to let a baby grasp a stick D．to make a living
66． The author .
A．advises you to mix defeat with failure
B．orders you to mix defeat with failure
C．wants you to wrongly take defeat for failure
D．warns you not to wrongly take defeat with failure
67．What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives?
A．One should explain it. B．One should examine it.
C．One should use it to win success. D．One should know its usefulness.

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
There have been many men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friend to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend upon them for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they become well-known.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourself.”
Some young men don’t try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. They can never gain achievements unless they see their weak points and change their coarse. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.
