English teacher’s name is Smith Riley. He is very nice and doesn’t give us too much homework. I enjoy the lessons. My favourite lesson is science. The math is very easy here. I feel the homework is easy, too. At school I speak English a lot. I will stay here for three months. I also study art and French. I do not like French because it is very difficult for me. On Tuesday and Thursday we play football after class. I really like playing football. In my new school I can go to the washroom whenever (无论何时) I want. Every Friday we have a different teacher. On Friday we just do some reading. It is very fun for me and I am not tired. Everyone is happy here.

It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
"What's the matter, Tom? How's your trip?" his mother asked with a big smile. "I failed（失败）. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way, I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back." Tom cried. "It doesn't matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance." his mother said. "But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!" Tom said. His father came over and asked, "Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?" "Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road." Tom replied. "Did you hear the birds singing?" his father asked. "There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet." Tom said. "Did you feel the beauty of nature?" his father asked. "Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture." Tom answered. "That's enough!" his father smiled and said, "Please remember, son. For often, achieving（达到）what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn't reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way."
It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery (风景) is on the way.

A. slowly
B. sadly
C. quickly
D. early
37. Tom's parents wanted Tom .

D.the process (过程) is more important than the result. D 根据短文内容，按要求完成下列各题. New York is a very large city with 8 million (八百万) people. How do so many people move on their way to
work or school? In New York you can travel by subway (地铁), bus, taxi and private (私人的) car.
The subway runs on the railway lines (轨道线) under the city. Travelling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city. The second way to travel around the city is by public bus (公共汽车). It is a slower way to travel. This is because the traffic is very heavy.
You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to the very place you want to go to. If the traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow, too.
During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work. The last way to get around New York is using your own private car. It is not easy because you will probably be driving during the “rush hour”. The best time to travel around the c ity is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., because it isn’t the “rush hour”.

It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
"What's the matter, Tom? How's your trip?" his mother asked with a big smile. "I failed（失败）. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way, I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back." Tom cried. "It doesn't matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance." his mother said. "But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!" Tom said. His father came over and asked, "Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?" "Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road." Tom replied. "Did you hear the birds singing?" his father asked. "There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet." Tom said. "Did you feel the beauty of nature?" his father asked. "Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture." Tom answered. "That's enough!" his father smiled and said, "Please remember, son. For often, achieving（达到）what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn't reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way."
It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will。
