AMy life began much like most children’s before my father left us. I grew up without knowing what a father was and no one was there to teach me how to behave and how to tell right from wrong. Because of this, I developed problems with alcohol and spent seven years as a boy in the street, ending up in a rehab clinic(康复诊所)when I was 20.Inside it, I met my counselor, Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving. It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we should go out for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we should go for a coffee. I told him I was broke, and when I got paid, I would pay him back. He stopped then and looked at me in a serious but loving way and said, “No, you won’t. ”He told me that I didn’t owe(欠)him anything and he was doing this because he wanted to. He then told me something that has followed me to this day, “One day you’ll be around someone and they’ll need a coffee, and you’ll be able to buy it for them. That’s how you can pay me back. ”I’m a primary school teacher now; far away from the l ife I had ten years ago. My job is simple and I buy young people coffee now. Bill taught me how to do that.21. The author got into some bad habits because.A. he didn’t have a father to teach and love him.B. he couldn’t get good school education.C. his brothers or sisters didn’t teach him.D. he was living in the street.22. One night, Bill invited the author to go out for a walk to.A. have a cup of coffee.B. teach the author a lesson.C. make the author less nervous.D. make friends with the author.23. The underlined words “I was broke” in Paragraph 2 probably mean“”.A. I was illB. I hurt my legsC. I forgot to bring moneyD. I had no moneyBDifferent teachers have different ways of organizing their teaching. In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the English texts until they can recite（背诵）them, and I tell them that recitation are an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They believe that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember y our Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.24. The writer often asks his students to recite the texts. .A. But they are unwilling to do so.B. And they are eager to do soC. But they wrote a letter to the Department of Education reporting the thing.D. But they do more exercises instead of dealing with the texts.25. What do the students think of the teacher’s advice according to the passage?A. The English teacher tries his best to help them with English.B. The English teacher is very kind to them.C. The English teacher asks them to do something useless.D. The English teacher should let them study on their own.26. According to the text, which of the following is correct?A. The teacher thinks the students are too naughty to learn English well.B. The students think they spend a lot of time in reciting the texts and achieve nothing.C. The students say that they often forget the words.D. The students take no interest in English.27. Why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text?A. Reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying English.B. Reciting the texts is the best way of learning English.C. The students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them.D. Reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching.CTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol（象征）of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece（希腊）. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella actually disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used as protection against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become m uch lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.28.

It was the September and the long，hot summer had come to an end. When I got a to school, I knew something was not quite right. I was in kindergarten again. My parents told me that my birth date was in the wrong month , which meant I could not go into grade one. At the time, I accepted this explanation.I didn't know that the excuse my parents used for repeating kindergarten was a white lie until the following year in grade one. I had no idea that the real reason was that I could only count to ten while my classmates were counting to one hundred. Even I could not write my first name.Not long after I went into grade one, I was moved into a special education class and stayed there for two years. During this time, my study went smoothly, but my social life was not a success. On my first day, I went to class wanting to make friends, but I really did not know how. Knowing of this，one teacher wanted to help me sitting by myself and decided to assign(指定) me a "friend". News of this assigned friend got around the school , so almost everyone in our school heard of this and I was told. "You are such a loser." Throughout my primary school years, I experienced this kind of social rejection(拒绝)over and over again.I am not quite sure when I discovered I had a learning disability. I think I always knew, butcould not name it. One day I found myself at a learning disability organisation. Here I read some books and I found I had a learning disability.To be able to accept my problem as a learning disability was the beginning of my recovery(振作).I was not stupid. As I continued to study this subject，I found out how many famous people have learning disability. Though it takes us longer to learn and learning is more difficult, those of us with learning disabilities get there in the end.32. Why did the author repeat kindergarten?A. She was too young.B.
