A
Slowly I climbed into the driver’s seat of the old brown pontiac. “Hi, Miss Caroline!” cried the three passengers, my friend Annie and her two children. No, I’m not Annie’s driver. I’m just a friend.
Let me explain. I’m 68, retired and live alone. Annie’s 27, works as a part-time bank teller and is married with two kids. We’re different, but we have one very important need in common--a car. I couldn’t afford to fix my own car and the bus didn’t go everywhere I needed to go.
A friend had a suggestion. “My daughter Annie’s been using my old pontiac while her husband job-hunts,” he said, “He got laid off and I know they could use help with gas. Maybe you two could share the car.”
Share a car? We Americans are pretty territorial about our automobiles. Still, need overrode（压倒）nervousness and I gave Annie a call. We quickly worked out a schedule. Three days a week for me, the rest for her.
Having wheels again was a huge help. Soon the car brought something more. Driving each other home on the days we switched, Annie and I talked about everything.
She had plenty of worries. Besides her finances, her dad’s health was failing. However, she lifted my spirits! She once said, “Life doesn’t always turn out the way I want, but I trust things will work out. And they do. Just like this car!”
Annie and her family moved to Los Angeles. I still borrow the pontiac from her dad, who is healthy once again. Now, whenever I drive the car, I think about Annie, and about how a simple exchange born of economic need can become such a blessing. Like Annie says, life doesn’t always turn out the way we want. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t turn out good.
56. What did the writer have in common with Annie?
A. They were both in financial difficulty.
B. They both lacked love and care in life.
C. They had both been searching for a job.
D. They were both too poor to own a car.
57. Who was the real owner of the old brown pontiac?
A. The writer. B. Annie. C. A bank teller. D. Annie’s father.
58. Annie impressed the writer much mainly because ________.
A. she had a deep love for her dad B. she had many worries in her life
C. she had a positive attitude to life D. she knew how to lift others’ spirits

As the world’s largest terrestrial carnivore，the polar bear is the king of the great white north.Adult males can measure more than nine feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1,430 pounds.The bear’s body and neck are elongated(细长的)，and the head is narrow and long with small，rounded ears.
Polar bear populations can be found in northern Canada，Greenland，Norway and Russia，and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the North Pole.The five million square-mile range of the polar bear circles the Arctic and contains stretches of open water where its primary prey—seals—are easily caught.
Polar bears live on the annual Arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt.They hunt ringed and bearded seals on the sea ice by breaking into seal dens in the sea ice.The dens are not visible from above，but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bear—with their keen sense of smell，polar bears can detect the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice.As the southern edge of the Arctic ice cap melts in summer，polar bears are stranded on land and spend their summers fasting，living off body fat stored from hunting in the spring and winter.
It might come as a surprise that this majestic species faces an uncertain future：Climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt their prey.Sea ice in the Arctic is melting earlier and forming later each year.With about 22,000 polar bears living in the wild，the species is not currently endangered，but its future is far from certain.People reached an agreement that restricts the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats，but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man-made threat to their survival：global warming.If current warming trends continue，scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years.
