You can't look at sunflowers and feel sad．Their big bright faces almost seem to be smiling at you on a summer day as they slowly turn toward the sun．Not only do the flowers make people happy，they also provide food for bees，birds and squirrels and many other small animals that love to eat the seeds（种子）．

Sunflower seeds aren't only delicious to animals．People love them，too．You can find bags of them in the stores．They tell you what kind of seeds they are and how they should be planted．

There are hundreds of different kinds of sunflowers．The biggest ones are Mammoth Russians．They grow to over 10 feet tall and produce big round heads with bright yellow petals （花瓣）that are over a foot across．They grow on strong thick stems （茎）with big heart﹣shaped leaves．The ripe seed heads sometimes get so heavy that they hang down．Other kinds of sunflowers，called dwarf，produce small stems and smaller flowers in colors such as light yellow and deep bright orange or red．

Sunflower is also a place in America．People there love sunflowers so much，so they named their place "Sunflower"．There are sunflowers everywhere．

Fifteen years ago，I drove a taxi for a living．One day I went to pick up a passenger at 2：40 A．M．When I arrived there，I walked to the door and knocked．"Just a minute，"answered a weak，elderly voice．

After a while，the door opened．A small woman stood before me．She was more than eighty years old．By her side was a big bag．

When we get into the taxi，she gave me an address，and then asked．"Could you drive through downtown？"

"It's not the shortest way．"I answered quickly．

"Oh，I'm in no hurry，"she said．"I'm on my way to a hospice （临终关怀医院）．I don't have any family left．The doctor says I don't have very long．"

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter （计程表）

For the next two hours，we drove through the city．She showed me the building where she had once worked，the neighborhood where she had lived，and the place where she had gone dancing as a girl．

Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness，saying nothing．

We drove in silence to the address she had given me

"How much do I pay you？"she asked．

"Nothing．"I said．

"You have to make a living，"she answered．

"Oh，there are other passengers．"I answered．

Almost without thinking，I gave her a hug （拥抱）．She held on me and said．"You gave an old woman a moment of joy．"

61．When did the driver go to pick up the woman？　　

62．How old was the woman？　　

63．Where did the woman want to go？　　

64．How much did the woman pay the driver？　　

65．What can we learn from the driver？　　

阅读下面的短文，然后将画线部分的句子译成汉语或英语．

Learning has become my life habit．（66）I think learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new．I will leave the junior high school．（67）我坚持去我理想的高中．So I must study harder．

By studying hard I can write thousands of English words．At first I didn't know many English words．（68）Like most students，I thought it was hard and boring to remember them all．But there was an English word competition at our school．I picked up a dictionary and prepared for it．I tried to understand the meaning of each word first．It helped me remember them quickly．

Thankfully，my father gave me a hand．（69）If he found some useful words，he would tell me in a special way．It made the whole thing more interesting．

In the competition，I won the first prize，which made me really happy．This experience taught me to remember more English words．

Of all the dictionaries，I like Oxford English Dictionary best．（70）我家里有十多本《牛津英语字典》．I want to recite the whole dictionary．I should never give up trying to achieve my dream．It is really difficult but I believe anything is possible if you study hard．
