Here is how a new teacher made friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled at each girl and boy. Then she said in a quiet voice, “Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year. I'd like to know each of you.
I am sure we will enjoy working together.” Everyone felt that she meant what she said because of her sweet voice and her friendly look.
She told the girls and boys her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them some of the things she liked to do and she was hoping to do with them during the year.
Then she said to the class, “Now you know my name and the things I like and I want to know your names and the things you like. Then I will feel that I know you.”

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing
course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," s he says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to k now that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow u p ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
( ) 1. Why did Mary feel regretful?
A. She didn't achieve her ambition.
B. She didn't take care of her mother.
C. She didn't complete her high school.
D. She didn't follow her mother's advice.
( ) 2. We can know that before 1995 Mary
A. had two books published
B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a computer
D. supported the JDRF by writing
( ) 3. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her .
A. living with diabetes
B. successful show busine ss
C. service for an organization
D. remembrance of her mother
( ) 4. When Mary received the life-changing news, she .
A. lost control of herself
B. began a balanced diet
C. Med to get a treatment
D. behaved in an adu lt way
( ) 5. What can we know from the last paragraph?

C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

【湖北省2014高考英语第二次联考试题】E
Edward Snowden’s removal of thousands of highly classified documents from the National Security Agency and his decision to turn them over to journalists for publication started a fierce debate about who and what he is. On one side are those who consider Snowden a whistleblower, someone who has done his country a great service. Others regard him as a criminal.
Snowden, meanwhile, says that his “task’s already accomplished,” that he has given Americans a “say in how they are governed” and that he has succeeded in exposing the workings of what he has called the uncontrolled “surve illance (监控) state.”
But one must ask: Are Snowden’s actions in consistent with his words?
Snowden has taken sanctuary (庇护) in Russia, a country that, under the guidance of President Vladimir Putin, a former Soviet KGB officer, has been sliding ever deeper back into dictatorship (独裁). The Federal Security Service (FSB) has invested in technology that allows it to monitor telephone and Internet communications and to collect and store not just metadata —information about call destinations and lengths — but also the content of communications. The
Russian state uses that technology to engage in essentially unchecked surveillance of telephone calls, e-mail traffic, blogs, and Web sites. Over the past two years “the Kremlin has transformed Russia into a surveillance state —at a level that would have made the KGB envious.”
If Snowden’s objective is to give people a voice in how they are governed, and to expose massive uncontrolled surveillance, he could speak out about practices of the Russian government that go far beyond anything ever undertaken by the U.S. government.
For better or for worse, Snowden has a large number of supporters around the world. His words are listened to by millions — so he could make a difference where it counts. Yet he has been silent about the surveillance surrounding him. Why? Is he being polite to his hosts? Does he have concerns about what the FSB might do in response to what he might say?
Whatever the answer, Snowden’s silence about the dict atorship where he has taken sanctuary is telling. It is yet more evidence, if evidence were needed, that he is not a whistleblower at all. It suggests that, instead of being a brave speaker of truths, he is a hypocrite (伪君子), with principles that he applies selectively against the justice he has betrayed.
67. What does the author want to tell the readers?
A. Snowden’s action started a heated debate.
B. It isn’t clear who and what Snowden is.
C. Snowden exposed secret documents.
D. Snowden is in fact a hypocrite.
68. What is the author’s attitude towards Russia?
A. Critical.
B. Approving.
C. Sympathetic.
D. Grateful.
69. How does the author develop his argument?
A. By analysing Snowden’s statements.
B. By exposing Snowden’s link with FSB.
C. By comparing Snowden’s actions in US and Russia.
D. By questioning Snowden’s loyalty.
70. Why does the author say Snowden is not a brave speaker of truth?
A. Because he has applied the wrong principles.
B. Because he has kept silent about Russia’s dictatorship.
C. Because he has taken sanctuary in Russia.
D. Because he has not responded to millions of his supporters.。
