For a few years, I have been wearing a ring on my right hand. It's not always the 1 ring, but it's always a ring that has 2 on it so that when I look at it, I'm 3 or reminded of something important . I have made a 4 of buying rings like this whenever I see one in a store. Sometimes I give them away as 5 to someone like Jennie. I first met Jennie in the 6 waiting room and we had talked several times. One night I sat down beside her and 7 how her son was going because I knew that he was in very 8 condition. She told me that she didn't know what to do any more because it seemed none of the 9 from the doctors was good. They weren't at all sure her son was going to 10 the accident that had hurt him so badly. With 11 in her eyes she said, "They're taking away my 12 ." I knew then that it was 13 just a coincidence (巧合) that I was wearing the ring that I had on that day. As she 14 to talk, I 15 slipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie's hand. I told her to wear it to remember that God loved her and He would be with her 16 all of this. 17 Jennie looked down at the ring, she got excited and then held it tightly, 18 the word written on the ring was "HOPE". The last day I was at the hospital, I saw Jennie in the distance as I got on the lift. She 19 and held up the hand with the ring on it as she called out to me saying, "Look, I 20 have Hope!" | ||||

A young, dark haired woman appeared in the doorway. "Good morning, children! My name is Mrs. Murray. I am replacing your regular teacher," she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. "I will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months." The children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected. "Come on, someone say something," she thought nervously. The children were too quiet. "This probably won't last long," she thought, smiling kindly at them. Grade Three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. "If you have problems, please come to me. I will help you." The children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke. "How can I get them to accept me?" she wondered. Suddenly, she had an idea. "Your first homework will be to write a new song. To make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for Valentine's Day. The winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party." The children looked amazed, but pleased. "You may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrument." As if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly. "A love song?" a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher. "We each have to write one," said a dark haired girl, "We never had to do that before." "And perform it too!" a red haired boy responded, laughing aloud. "I love it! Me, sing a love song?" "Want to know what the first prize will be?" Immediately, every hand in the room went up. Mrs. Murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica(口琴). "What do you think of this?" She waited. "I am also a music teacher, so I will be able to help you write your new love songs." added Mrs. Murray, smiling at her new students. Obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class. 1. The children remained silent at the beginning because __________. A. they missed their former teacher B. they were surprised at the situation C. they didn't know the teacher's name D. they were not allowed to speak in class 2. We can learn from the passage that __________. A. children in the class liked to write their own love songs B. most children in the class were good at performing music C. it was the prize that made the students accept their new teacher D. the students in this class are not as active as other Grade Three students 3. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Murray? A. Kind and curious. B. Helpful and clever. C. Faithful and honest. D. Patient and humorous. |

Why do so many of us watch birds with great interest? Perhaps the easiest answer is that birds seem to be the commonest, most attractive and easiest observed wildlife around us. No matter where you are, at home, on a mountain-top, in mid-ocean or deep in a city, there are birds around for you to watch. When you go birdwatching, you should always make sure that your clothes are suitable for the weather and for the habitat you are visiting. As a general rule, it is better to pack a little too much clothing than risk getting cold and wet. In really hot weather, a hat of some sort is sensible. For cooler weather, a practical outfit would be jeans, a roll-neck sweater. Don't worry about the equipment while birdwatching. It is perfectly possible to see and enjoy birds without any special equipment, but a whole new world opens up to you once you have your first binoculars. Distant birds stop being little dots against the sky or water, and take on shapes and colours, and feathers of bird will have a real beauty of their own. Binoculars allow you to identify birds correctly, and give you a wonderful chance to spy on them going about their daily lives. However, never look directly at the sun using binocular, because direct sunlight can hurt the eye. Using binoculars is one way to bring birds closer to you, but another way of improving your birdwatching is to get nearer to them. If wild creatures don't know you are close to them, they will continue to behave naturally, and perhaps pass close by you. Fortunately, birds have no sense of smell-so we don't have to worry about the wind blowing our scent to them and frightening them. But all birds have good eyesight, much better than ours. Birds also have good hearing: their lives and their ability to find food depend on these senses. So what does the birdwatcher need to do? Always move about quietly, do not give the birds advance warning of your arrival or they will move away. Do your best to avoid sudden movement. Always remember to put the birds' interests first. When you have finished looking, don't just stand up and walk away, scaring birds in all directions. 1. The underlined word "binoculars" refers to __________. A. something that can protect your eyes B. glasses used for looking at distant object C. books on birds of different shapes and colours D. special equipment for birdwatcher to keep warm 2. Why does the birdwatcher have to move quietly? A. Because birds don't like to make any noise. B. Because birds are unable to see slow movement. C. Because birds can smell man's scent if he moves quickly. D. Because birds may hear the sound of the sudden movement. 3. According to the passage, what does a birdwatcher need to do? A. Keep a certain distance from birds B. Bring a little more clothes with him C. Behave naturally while watching birds D. Take interest in the birds he is watching |

A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable (能胜任的) of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties(机能), or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate(评价) of his ability. Older people may be handicapped(阻碍) by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age. A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which shows this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try,and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected. One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected (refused) the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His newfound confidence encouraged him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic. This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability. 1. Why might a person be prevented from doing good work? ________. A. Because he thinks he is old enough to make the most of his mental facilities B. Because he accepts another person's mistaken estimate of his ability C. Because he has the idea that he is incapable of doing everything D. Because he believes in what other people think of him 2. A person who believes in his low ability will ________. A. spare no efforts to do things B. fail to go at a job but never lose heart C. change to learn other course instead of mathematics D. show complete lack of confidence 3. As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because ________. A. he lost his self-confidence B. he was weak in thinking C. his parents expected too much of him D. his teacher had no confidence in herself 4. Which of the following is the most important factor to Alder's success?________ A. Spirit and experience B. Interest and self-respect C. Confidence and determination D. Purpose and knowledge 5. Alder's experience made him realize that ________. A. people are not as capable as they think B. people can be more capable than they think C. lack of confidence leads to failure D. lack of ability results in lack of determination |

Scientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls. However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, "There are slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they've been brought up to think of these subjects as boys'' territory". Statistics(统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes. One of the reports' authors says, "While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are 'hope-less' at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as good as the boys', they have not been encouraged to do so." The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school, girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to 'help' with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence shows that exceptional mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who supplied answers; they had to find out for themselves. A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls. Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects, gives them confidence and makes them believe that they can succeed. Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such 'male' subjects like mathematics and science as difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither do they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive. 1. The underlined word "territory" in the second paragraph most probably means " ". A. interest B. area of land C. special field D. district 2. According to scientific studies, . A. maths is not fit for girls to learn B. boys have a special sense of maths C. girls are poorer at maths because they are the weaker sex D. girls can learn maths as well as boys if given enough encouragement 3. Those who made extraordinary contribution in mathematics and science . A.usually had good teachers to help them B. had the abilities to solve problems by themselves C. usually worked harder than others D. were encouraged to repair things when young 4. Which of the following is not true according to the text? A. It seems socially acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write. B. It is a social problem rather than a problem of brains that girls are poor at maths C. Mathematics and science are no easy subjects to either girls or boys. D. There is no connection between a girl's ability in maths and her appearance. 5. What would be the best title for the text? A. Who's Afraind of Maths Anyway? B. Are Boys Cleverer than Girls? C. Boys Are Better at Maths than Girls by Birth D. Maths-A Difficult Subject |
