AI became a teacher at 55 years of age. Things were going on so well during my first two periods. Then came my 3rd period class – the 8th graders with only one girl in the class. I thought the class was bad until the intercom(内部通话系统) came onand the office was asking if I was in my classroom. “Of course,” I responded. A student who knew he was going to be late for class had informed the office I was not in my classroom – 10 minutes after class began.When the student came in and I walked over to greet him, he said, “Don’t touch me.” He then put his head on his desk and did not seem to listen to a word I said.I did not comfront(使面对) him with the “lie” to the office.The next day he came into class on time. This time instead of listening or following instructions on keyboarding software, he played Internet games. I walked over to him. He looked at me ready to snap back(没好气地顶撞) at anything I said. I asked him, “Where did you learn to use a computer like that?” he looked at me surprised. I repeated, “You are really good at that. Where did you learn so much?” He began to tell me his father “used to” buy him games to play, but not anymore. I could feel the pain. Instead of blaming him for being off task, I surprised him and praised him for his skills. Then, I asked him to show me what he could do in our software. He was amazed.On a Friday night at a high school football game, I really got my breakthrough(突破). From about five feet away, in front of his friends he came over to me and gave me a big hug saying, “Hi, Ms. Marie.” We talked for a while and before he walked away, he had hugged me two more times. This was a long way from “don’t touch me” on that first day.21.How did the boy react(反应) towards Ms. Marie’s greeting on the first day?A. Gratefully.B. Coldly.C. Respectfully.D. Amazedly.22.From the dialogue between Ms. Marie and the boy in Paragraph 3, we can infer that _____.A. t he boy was impatient with Ms. Marie’s interruptionB. the boy was proud to show how to play gamesC.

In 1956, he heard for the first time Lewis Carroll’s extraordinary tale of Alice in Wonderland–the story of a Victorian girl who falls down a rabbit hole, meets a lot of funny characters and experience all kinds of things. At that time, Blackman’s wife was suffering form progressive blindness. The story of Alice moving through the strange situations, often disheartened by various events, was similar to his wife’s experiences. It also reflected so much of his own life. All this contributed to the completion of the Alice in Wonderland paintings.Illustrator WorkshopGo straight to the experts for an introductory course in book illustration.

Once his hearing memory has been greatly improved, he’ll be able to use and remember what he listens t o in class. The success of these suggestions depends upon your ability to use your child’s natural desire to get involved(参与) in games he finds simple and fun.A good way to begin is to read aloud a sentence from a book suitable for your child’s reading ag e. Then ask your youngster to repeat the sentence back to you correctly. Next, reread the sentence, leaving out a particular word. See if your child can identify the word you left out. At the beginning use only simple sentences. Gradually, increase the len gth of the sentences. Make sure you don’t rush things along too quickly, or your child may become discouraged and tired of the game.Take your child shopping with you often. He’s to remember a list of items you want to buy in the supermarket. At first, ask him to remember only a few things. Then, as he shows increased ability to remember, make the list longer and longer. Praise him often and warmly when he shows increased ability to remember things. He’ll become proud of his “good” memory and will happily p lay the game.Encourage your child to learn easy and short peoms. As his ability to do this becomes stronger, encourage him to remember longer poems. Do the same with songs.28.The suggestions will be successful if you ____.A. find simple and funny ga mes for your childB. can stimulate your child’s interest in the gamesC. force your child to get involved in more practiceD. improve your own hearing memory first29.The purpose of asking your child to repeat what you read is _____.A. to practice his pronunciationB. to develop his reading skillsC. to help him remember what he hearsD. to play a simple game he may find fun30.The third paragraph mainly talks about _____.A. another way to improve your chil d’s hearing memoryB. how you should do shopping along with your childC. how to remember the items you want to buyD. the way you help your child do shopping31.The last sentence “Do the same with songs” means you should encourage your childto learn and remember _____.A.songs in the same way as he does with poemsB.poems in the same way as he does with songsC.the poems and songs which are similar in meaningD.those songs that have the same meaning as poemsDPeople often ask me how I became successful in that six-year period of time while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do.I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking. They found that easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes. They said it probably really wouldn’t matter. Six years later, I’m a millionaire and they are all still bla ming the economy, the government and company policies. They neglected(忽视) to do the basic, easy things.In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing can be summed up in a single word: neglect. It is not the lack of money – banks are full of money. It is not the lack of opportunity – the government continues to offer the most opportunities. It is not the lack of books – libraries are full of books – and they are free! It is not the schools – the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of good advisors. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is neglect.Don’t do the things which cause us to feel guilty(感到内疚的) and guilt erodes our self-confidence. As our self-confidence reduces, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity goes down, so do our results. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins changing from positive to negative, our self-confidence becomes even less … and on and on it goes.So my suggestion is that when giving choice of “easy to” and “easy not to”, do not neglect to do the simple, basic, “easy” but potentially life-changing activities.32.Why did the author become a millionaire in six years?A.He was a very lucky man.B.He didn’t come across difficulties.C.He did some basic and easy things.D.He set himself long-term lifegoals.33.The underlined word “erodes” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.A.changesB. neglectsC.weakensD.exposes34.What is the main reason that some people fail to succeed?A.They don’t have good opportunities.B.They neglect the importan ce of success.C.They lack the government’s support.D. They don’t make use of what they have.35.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Being self-confident worksB.Nothing can not be neglectedC.Everything is easy to doD.Success is easy, but so is neglect 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
