【答案与解析】
本文主要讲我们即便身处劣境，也不要气馁，而应保持积极的心态，努力进取。同时作者也希望人们能给那些表现不很出色的人多一些鼓励。
36. B。前句说“我”在学校表现不好，故此处用useless表示校长认为“我”是一个“无用”的人。
37. A。anything but 是习语，意为“决不”“根本不”，与其前的否定词never构成双重否定，表示强调的肯定，即校长认为我肯定是一个失败的人。
38. B。从下文来看，情况一直都不好，故用poor。
39. D。对“我”这样一个境况如此糟糕的人来说，能与 a very nice middle-class girl谈恋爱，当然是一件最好的事了。
40. B。此处指作者下决心(decide)要做一些积极的事情以改变自己的境况。 41. C。此处指作者要向其女朋友证明不像别人所说的那样不行。 42. A。指作者想证明，人们认为他不行的看法是错误的(wrong)。 43. D。Let?s face it 意为“咱们面对现实吧”。
44. C。根据下一句提到的 my first novel 可知此处应填空C。 45. C。come out 在此指“出版”。
46. A。与下文的evening class 相对，处指用 during the day。 47. C。get a degree 指获得学位。degree 意为“学位”。 48. D。此处指作者想辞掉工作做一个专职作家，故用give up。
49. C。指就在那时作者得到了一份在大学兼职的工作，when意为“就在那时”。 50. B。此处here表示一种自豪的心态。 51. A。leave school 指“退学”。
52. D。下文中说作者出现在电视上，并且与rich 并列，因此填famous。 53. B。but 表转折，即有钱和有名又能意味什么呢?
54. A。/ 55. B。此句的意思是：“我”只是想，要是那些曾经瞧不起我的人能说“我想信你，你会成功的”该是多好啊。

本文通过讲述一对母子互相为对方买礼物的故事，说明世界上仍有无私的爱的存在。 36. A。针对Laura对“当今世界是否有无私的真爱”的怀疑态度，作者通过自己的亲身经历来说明无私的真爱是存的。比较4个选项，同时结合下文的内容，只有A最佳。
37. C。下文(51空处)讲，“我”希望看到儿子激动的表情，所以是想给儿子一个特殊的(special)礼物。
38. D。因为要挣钱买摩托车，所以整个夏天都在work。
39. D。此处指儿子在这辆二手摩托车上花费了很长时间，一直到(until)它看上去跟新车一样。
40. C。从搭配上看，四个选项都是对的，即：be sure of对……有把握，be fond of喜欢， be proud of为……而骄傲，be confident of对……有信心(把握)。但根据文章意思可知，作者的儿子是一个优秀而且很懂事的孩子，所以作者应该是对他引以自豪。
41. D。此处指母亲等不及希望儿子早点见到礼物，描述的是母亲的迫切的心情。hardly 意为“几乎不”。
42. A。由于 tea 和 morning goodies 无需cook，故排除B；而set 和 serve 不合语境。start 在此表示“开始准备”。
43. A。note在此指“字条”“便条”。
44. C。没想到儿子会给自己买keyboard，所感到很吃惊。另外，根据下文的I stood there shocked 也可推知答案。
45. B。根据下文说的 Learn to play the piano, and I?ll get you one 可知，作者还不会弹钢琴，此处用take lessons表示“上课”，也就是学钢琴。
46. D。作者想拥有一架钢琴，而她的丈夫的答复是Learn to play the piano, and I?ll get you one。
47. B。此处指作者想知道儿子是怎样弄到那么钱来买这个礼物的。afford 指“付得起钱”。 48. D。家里人都醒了，也就是整个屋子的人都醒了，这是拟人的写法。
49. A。指家人之间因高兴而互相亲吻。比较：exchange交换，experience经历，expect期待，exhibit展览。
50. B。此处用open 表示打开礼物的包装。
51. D。此处指作者的儿子看到礼物后脸上的表情并不像作者所期待的那样兴奋(因为他把摩托车卖掉了)。exactly意为“确切地”。
52. A。根据作者儿子给她买的贵重礼物以及儿子收到礼物后的表情来看，此时作者意识到儿子是把摩托车给卖掉了。
53. C。ever与最高级连用表示加强语气，ever的意思“一直以来”，又如：It was the best result they?ve ever had. 这是他们历来取得的最好成绩。
54. B。指作者想让 Laura 相信，无私的爱仍然存在(exist)。
B. still B. exists B. publish
C. ever C. matters C. share
D. even D. counts D. write
55. C。指作者认为Laura 会与自己分享(share)这个故事。
