When Nancy Flexer opened the door to her classroom near the end of her final school year, all 41 years of her career as a beloved first-grade teacher came to life right in front of her.
Cole Elementary School in Tennessee surprised Flexer with a memorable and emotional retirement party featuring former students of all ages, dating back to the first class she taught in the 1973-1974 school year. A video of the event shows an overwhelmed Flexer being moved to tears as she hears former students who are now adults tell her how much she affected their lives.
“I’m one of the luckiest people in this world,” Flexer said. “I remember I opened the door to the classroom thinking no one was in there, and it was wall-to-wall people and banners and everything. It was the coolest thing that could have ever happened in my life. How many times
do we really realize the lives we’ve touched, the manner in which
we’ve touched them, and that these are memories that stay with them for life?
Despite being young when they were taught by Flexer, students
easily recalled the heartwarming notes she wrote them on report cards, the ways she helped them overcome shyness and awkwardness, and how she inspired them to future academic success to earn scholarships and advanced degrees.
Even though Flexer hadn’t seen some of the former students for decades, she instantly remembered the names of every single one there.
A scrapbook(剪贴簿) of her career was presented to her as one student after another recalled the effect Flexer had on his or her life.
“I’ve had many opportunities to move to a school closer to my home, but I said ‘Cole gave me so much in my life that when I retire, I will retire from Cole school and give back what’s been given to
me, ’” Flexer said. “My career could have taken me nowhere that would have made me happier. I think of it as a blessing.”

On Tuesday, scientists announced that they have discovered the bones of four settlers in Jamestown, Virginia. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what became the United States. The bones were unearthed under the floor of a Jamestown church which was discovered in 2010 and is considered as America’s first Protestant church.
The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History announced that the settlers held high leadership positions. The men, Rev. Robert Hunt, Capt. Gabriel Archer, Sir Ferdinando Wainman, and Capt. William West, all played a
role in the Jamestown settlement. After being lost to history for more than 400 years, the discovery of their remains provides new clues about their life and the importance of religion in the 1600s.
“This is a very important discovery,” Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation President James Horn said in a statement. “These men were among the first founders of English America.”
About 100 people settled along the James River in what would become the first English settlement in 1607. During that time, settlers in Jamestown were faced with famine and disease. The colony was nearly wiped out due to conflict with Native Americans in the area and with other English settlers.
“They lived and died at a hard time in the history of the settlement －when Jamestown almost ended in failure,” Horn said. “The bones of these men help fill in the stories of their lives.”
The Smithsonian and the Rediscovery Foundation found the remains in November of 2013. Scientists used 3-D technology to locate the exact gravesites of the men. The team wanted to identify its findings before announcing the discovery. They identified the men using historical records and studied the chemicals of the bones to learn what the men ate and where they came from.
Findings from the burials will go on display within weeks at Historic Jamestowne. The site also plans to honor the men and will keep their bones in a safe place for future study.
28. The bones found in a Jamestown church ___________.
A. were first discovered in 2010
B. have been buried for over four centuries
C. have proved to be a family of four
D. are complete and easy to recognize
29. The underlined phras e “wiped out” in paragraph 4 is closest
in meaning to __________.
A. supported fully
B. developed rapidly
C. destroyed completely
D. protected successfully
30. What can we learn from paragraph 6?
A. How scientists keep the bones in good shape.
B. Why the four leaders were buried in Jamestown.
C. Why the four leaders chose to settle in Jamestown.
D. How scientists identified the four leaders.
31. This text is most probably __________.
A. a history paper
B. a research paper
C. a newspaper report
D. a warning message

One October morning, I got off the all-night train in Mandalay, a city in Myanmar. A rough man came up and offered to show me around. The price he asked was less than I would pay for a bar of chocolate at home. So I climbed into his trishaw(三轮车).
As he was showing me around, he told me how he had come to the city from his village. He’d earned a degree in mathematics. His dream was to be a teacher. But of course, life is hard here, and so for now, this was the only way he could make a living. Many nights, he told me, he
actually slept in his trishaw so he could catch the first visitors off the all-night train.
And very soon, we found that in certain ways, we had so much in common － we were both in our 20s, we were both fascinated by foreign cultures － that he invited me home.
So we turned off the wide, crowded streets, and came to rough, wild alleyways(小巷). I really lost my sense of where I was, and realized
that I could easily get cheated or something even worse.
Finally, he stopped and led me into a hut. And then he reached
under his bed. Something in me froze. I waited to see what he would pull out. And finally he took out a box. Inside it was every single letter he had ever received from visitors from abroad.
So when we said goodbye that night, I realized he had also shown me the secret point of travel, which is to go inwardly(向内心) as well as outwardly to places you would never go otherwise, to go into uncertainty, even fear.
At home, it’s dangerously easy to think we’re on top of things. Out in the world, you are reminded every moment that you’re not, and
you can’t get to the bottom of things, either.
32. What do we know about the trishaw puller?
A. He used to be a teacher.
B. He works very hard.
C. He is a foreigner in Myanmar.
D. He received
little education.
33. Why did the author freeze in front of the bed?
A. He was feeling very cold.
B. He didn’t expect to see th e letters.
C. He was shocked by the room’s bad condition.
D. He thought the young man was going to hurt him.。
