A

My son Joey was born with club feet (畸形脚). The doctors told us that he would be able to walk, but would never run very well. By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk.The children in our neighborhood ran around playing, and Joey would join them, run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he worked harder and ran more than any of the others. Although the whole team runs, only the top seven runners score for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never be on the team, so he didn’t know.

He went on running four to five miles a day, every day—even the day he had a high fever(发烧). I was worried, so I went to see him after school. I found him running alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had another two miles to go. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn’t run miles with a high fever. So he didn’t know.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was Number Six on the list. Joey was on the team! He was in seventh grade—the other six team members were m eighth grade. We never told him he coul dn’t do it. So he didn’t know. He just did it! ( )46. The doctor believed Joey would never run very well because ______________.

David, 15 At school, teachers teach us young people so that we will be prepared for it when we go out into the world. But will we? We learn our maths, English, physics and so on, but what do we learn about sex(性), marriage(婚姻) and things like this? These are just as important but we don't learn very much about them.

Carol, 17 Give us more chances to visit factories, to talk with farmers, workers, doctors, lawyers and even people who have Aids(艾滋病). Give us the chance to visit remand homes(少年犯管教所). We want to know more about life and less about books.

Robin 16 What a boring school is nowadays, the same as it has been for hundreds of years. What we get is the same old thing: teachers, outdated(过时的) textbook, and a class tired of the teacher and the school. What we need is one great change. Children do not want to be taught at school, but want to find things for themselves. If a child is interested in the way a rabbit's heart works, let him go and find out, by cutting one up.

Irena, 15 Homework should not be given. Many of us would rather spend another hour at school than two hours at home doing an hour's homework. When we are at home, we cannot watch TV or do things we like. We have to do our homework. Isn't it terrible?

Sidney, 15 The first step must surely be to pay teachers more by at least 50% in order to attract excellent teachers. Students are the hope of a country, but good teachers are the hope of a school.

( ) 51. What's the best title for this passage?

A. Less homework and more chances

B. The school I'd like

C. What's wrong with today's schools?

D. What we learn at school ( ) 52. What David wants to say is that______________________________ .

A. the subjects students learn at school are not important at all

B. school teachers should teach the students how to face their future

C. sex, marriage and things like this are more important than school subjects

D. students should be given more chances to know more about the outside world ( ) 53. Robin does NOT mention(提及) that__________________________ .

A. they have a boring school

B. their textbooks are outdated

C. a school needs a great change

D. students should learn more at school ( ) 54. According to Irena, __________________________________________ .

A. teachers should not give students any homework

B. teachers should allow students to do things they like at school

C. students should watch TV at home instead of doing homework

D. she would like to stay at home watching TV instead of staying at school ( ) 55.Who thinks teachers should be paid more?

On Stress

With the fast are pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.

Some people are afraid of pressure. They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and happiness. In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally. That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging.

Others argue that stress isn't as bad as it often supposed to be. Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation. With out stress, you may slack off and idle away your time. It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life. People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals.

In my opinion, we shouldn't escape from stress but to face it as it is. What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it.
