Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 36 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85mph 37 we realized we were 38 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill. I was so 39 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 40 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 41 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 42 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier (收银员).

Trogmire Troll was dealing with a crisis (危机). The new girl in class really liked him a lot. Trogmire was not happy about it.
Trogmire’s good friend, Tremor Troll, tried to comfort him. “What’s the big deal? I think Treasure Troll is kind of cute (可爱的). And she seems to be nice enough.”
Trogmire swallowed his last bite of salad and glared at Tremor. “Then why don’t you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. March over there and ask her to be your sweet-heart!”
“She’s crazy about you, not me,” Tremor replied.
“Well, I don’t want any girlfriend, especially not a weird (古怪的) annoying one like her!” Trogmire growled.
Tremor wouldn’t give up. “The only thing annoying about her is she keeps writing you those notes and she stares.”
“Yucky love notes!” Trogmire interrupted. He took another sip of milk. “Did you notice those strange brown eyes? Why aren’t they normal red or pink?”
Tremor took another look at Treasure. “I think her face is a lovely shade of green. And her dark green curly hair is quite pretty. Besides, she’s very sweet and that’s what really matters.”
Trogmire stuck out his tongue. “I think I’m going to be sick! I’d better save my apple pies for later.” He put a small bag of Maggot Munchies into his even smaller shirt pocket. “The fact is, I have a problem. That girl is really annoying!”
Tremor followed Trogmire’s example and decided to save his apple pies for later. However, he carefully placed the bag into his lunch box. “Do you have any ideas about how to solve your problem?” Tremor asked.
“I’m going to be rude to her,” Trogmire announced. “I’ll call her names and make ugly faces at her.”
“That’s how you treat everyone”, Tremor reminded his friend.
Trogmire nodded. “It’s time that Treasure got to know the real Trogmire Troll!”

Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships belonging to European nations in the seventeenth century. These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony (殖民地) than in exploiting it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English who set up the settlements in Australia. This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.
Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich in soil. It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing. Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.
Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some striking (显著的) differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, unlike the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Yet, in spite of these and other main difference, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.
60. In the early history of America and Australia, both colonies developed towards the west firstly for the reason that _____.
A. the population was increasing rapidly in the east
B. the English thought there might be richer land there
C. gold was discovered there
D. fewer people lived there
61. In the early 1920s, ______.
A. Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheep
B. there were more sheep in Australia than in the United States
C. the population in Australia was greater than that of the United States
D. the United States had twice as many sheep as people
62. Australia, unlike the United States, ______.
A. did not discover gold until the late 1840s
B. was the last and biggest continent to be discovered
C. was not rich in gold in its western part
D. won its independence by peaceful means
63. In the last paragraph, the underlined sentence means _______.
A. the United States and Australia do not have any main difference
B. the United States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the world
C. the United States and Australia have much more in common than they have with other countries
D. in common with the rest of the world, the United States and Australia have a lot of differences
