Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes that time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying.
As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re able to take in lots of new and exciting information. Apart from that, you’re able t o think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, he or she is thrilled to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great i f you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach! Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along wi th the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.

The television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has accomplished something many adults can’t achieve,” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Ben’s two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts（手稿）by an eagle eyed publisher. They were
self-published, at the cost of $400 by Ben’s parents.
Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.”
The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see
self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr. Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said.
“Literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industr y veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make a better. Ben’s father, Ken, said Ben’s ambitions “weren’t to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that you’ve done something.”
Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. “Being a published author,” she said, “was always a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15.
36. Which of the following is true of Ben?
A. He has achieved something unusual for his age.
B. His self-published books were well received.
C. His manuscripts were favored by the publisher.
D. He was thought little of by the public media.

“Today is the day I start the big healthy diet,” I told my wife as I raised my hand and promise，“No chocolate today!”
“Oh, has the hospital gift shop stopped selling it?” she asked.
“No,” I said. “I’ll just have to depend on my strong determination.”
But when I arrived at the hospital, my little friend Benton had been
there again. I knew my promise would quickly disappear. Because if Benton had things his way, I’d always be eating a piece of can dy from the bottomless bag he often shared with me.
Benton was an eight-year-old boy who was blind because of a kind of cancer, which caused him to live in the darkness, when he was fifteen months old. For the next twenty-six months, he was in and out of our hospital. For nearly four years, it seemed as though Benton could beat the disease, until one Friday afternoon in April 2011, when he developed a headache and lost movement on his right side. His mom rushed him to the hospital.
Over the next several months, Benton came to our hospital many more times. Each time he came, we would say hello, while Benton answered the greeting by holding out a candy from his bag.
So, on that first day of my diet, I went to his room and found Benton lying in his bed, his eyes opened but not looking into this world.
“We brought his candy bag with us. Would you like to have some?” his mother asked.
Without thinking of my diet, I reached into the bag and pulled out the first piece my fingers touched. It was my favorite as if Benton had saved one last piece for me. At home that evening, I answered a phone about Benton’s death. As I hung it up, I opened the candy and ate it.
6. What did the writer promise to do?A. To begin a healthy diet without chocolate.

b. he lost movement on his right side
c. he was in and out of the hospital.
d. his eyes opened, not looking into this world
A. a d c b
B. d c b a
C. a c b d
D. d b a c
9. What might the writer be?
A. A doctor.
B. A patient.
C. A teacher.
D. A cook.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals; success belongs to those who are willing to go after it. Success belongs to those who are willing to look fear in the face, eyeball to eyeball, and then do what they have to do. Success belongs to those who realize that there is something more important than their fear.
“Desire is the key to motivation….” Desire is the longing to achieve a vision; without desire you have nothing. If you’ve lost your vision, or if your desire is not strong, work to clarify your vision, use pictures, write the vision down. Habakkuk said, “Writ e the vision, and make it plain, ” Before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, it must be clear, it must be exciting.
“Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.” You can’t get your dream job, if you’re scared to turn in an application. You won’t get the sale, if you don’t try. Showing up doesn’t guarantee success, but rest assured if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed. When it comes to your dreams, and the things you desire to achieve in this life, you have to show up.
Thomas J. W atson said, “Would you like me to give you a formula （公式）for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” Never fear failure, it is failure that will bring you success. Embrace failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Success is not about doing what the average person can’t do, it’s about doing what the average person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing thi ngs with excellence that cause success.
Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey!
Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change…you will change, you will succeed.
11. If you want to succeed, you should _________.
A. make efforts to achieve it
B. be a special person
C. face it with fear
D. do everything important
12. What's Habakkuk's opinion?
A. We should make our aims common.
B. We should set up a clear target.
C. We should have motivation.
D. Desire is the key to motivation.
13. The main idea of the third paragraph is that _________.
A. success needs showing up
B. 70% of people can succeed
C. you should show your hope
D. you should fight for success
14. Thomas J. Watson encourages us to _________.

阅读理解-------D
An “apple polisher” is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂), but is close to it. All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.
There are other phrases meaning the same thing as
“apple-polishing”—“soft-soaping” or “buttering-up”. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise—telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.
Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.
We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.
Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless might.
He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.
41. Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “apple-polishing”?
A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.
B. An employee tells her boss how good he is at management.
C. A knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers.
D. A teacher praises her students for their talent and wisdom.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。

根据Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise—telling him how good he looks夸奖别人的长相是多么地好，是其中的阿谀奉承之一，符合原文；故选D。

42. What does the writer want to prove with Cromwell’s example?
A. Everybody can be an apple-polisher.
B. Cromwell was not a good apple-polisher.
C. George Fox and his party were not apple-polishers.
D. There are people who don’t like being apple-polished.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。

根据All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody.所有的人都有可能是拍马屁的人，紧接着短文就以Cromwell为例来论证这个观点，故选A。

43. Which of the following statements about flattery is true according to the author?
A. Too much flattery can carry us away.
B. Flattery is too empty to do people any good.
C. Flattery can get you nothing but excessive(过度的) pride.
D. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。

44. Why did King Canute of Denmark and England take his followers to the seashore?
A. Because he was sick of his normal life.

C. Because he wanted them to realize how wise he was.
