(答案→)A
解析：俗话说“贪小便宜吃大亏”，在生活中诚信显得很重要。本文通过描述Mr.Glen的一段亲身经历说明了这一道理。
36.选A。考查固定搭配。set up设立，成立；e up走近，出现；go up上升，增长；call up召唤，使想起。由语境可知选A，他成立了他的小公司。
37.选C。根据全文可知，Mr.Glen把这次教训当做交了一次“额外的”学费。extra额外的，不包括在价目内的。文章最后一段中because an additional high “school” fee也有暗示。
38.选B。根据前文decided to return to the homeland可知，此处表示“离开”。
39. 选C。空后的made through years of work after school and the scholarships可知，表是他用他的积蓄(课外工作所得和奖学金)买的。saving存款，积蓄。
40.选C。考查固定搭配。take down拿下，摘下；put down放下，拒绝；lie down躺下；look down俯视，跌价。此处的意思是：手表也要摘下来进行检查。故选C。
41.选C。根据后文中nearly ￥100,000可排除A和B，从had to pay the tax可知，携带特定的物品出境需要缴税。
42.选B。it代指前面的the tax。
43.选D。根据后文中carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的)goods可知。
44.选B。be proud of以……自豪。他以为自己的小聪明会得逞，正洋洋自得。
45.选A。in the presence of Glen“当着Glen的面”。
46.选D。定语从句的引导词which指代the watch，cost的主语为物，spend的主语为人。
47.选A。根据Glen was amazed可知答案。他还没有明白过来是怎么回事，就被带到了办公室。
48.选D。根据后文“他知道只有‘黑名单’上的人才‘享受’这种特殊待遇，工作人员仔细检查了他的箱子”可以判断，应选D项。
49.选B。此处指根据多次出入境的经历，他知道……。
50.选A。工作人员警告他无论什么时候出入境，他都必须接受检查。
51.选B。这是一个省略的虚拟语气句。If(he was)found out reusing and carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的)goods，he would be charged according to the law！find out“查明(真相)”。
52.选D。board the plane登机。
53.固定短语make a deep impression on表示“给……留下深刻的印象”。
54.选A。根据前文故事可知，他的经历让他懂得了诚实的重要性。
55.选A。他将永远牢记诚信——他成功的秘密。
