考题 BJack is a famous writer now.But he said he was not a good student when he was young.He was often late for class and didn’t like doing his homework.

John is fifteen now and how old is his brother?" Jack answered, "That's easy. His brother is twice as old as John, so he is now thirty. "Another time, the teacher in a science class asked, "When it thunders(打雷) , why do we always see the light before we hear the sound? "But, Miss White," said Jack quickly, "can't you .see our eyes are in front of our ears?"The third time, the teacher in a biology class asked, "Why can fish swim in the water?"

考题 ABefore, I thought that a man who was wise and good would become rich, but now I know this is not always true. I learned it from my teacher. He is both wise and good, but he is not rich at all. He may become rich if he gives up(放弃) teaching and goes into business. But he likes his job and thinks it,s wonderful to help young people. He stays at school from morning till night and works very hard. He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than any other teacher in our school. I think it must be easier to learn history or math than to learn how to become a man like him. He scolds(责备 ) us when we do something wrong,but it makes us try to do better.We all wish to study with him as long as possible. But that may be impossible. Some of us may become doctors, some become businessmen, some be- come engineers, some become writers, but we all want one thing very much. It is that we all want to be teachers in the future.( )21. The writer thinks his teacher is_________.A. wise and goodB. wise and richC. good and rich

考题 BOpen Letter to an EditorI had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.60. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.

考题 () (get up early) in the cold winter mornings is not easy.

考题 He was in a traffic jam, ( ) made him late for school.A、thatB、whichC、whatD、how

考题 A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine,who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about being late on the job.Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes,the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room;everyone was hard at work.Sam’s supervisor came up to him.Suddenly,Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How do you do!” he said.“I’m Sam Maynard.I’m applying for a job,which,I understand,became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win,a laugh.Humor is a most effective,yet frequently neglected,means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences,apologizing,saying “no”,criticizing,getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs,it’s the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel.For example,many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.1、Why was Sam late for his job?A、Because he was ill.B、Because he got up late.C、Because he was caught in a traffic jam.D、He was busy applying for a new job.2、The main idea of this passage is().A、Sam Maynard saved his job with humorB、humor is important in our livesC、early bird gets the wormD、humor can solve racial discriminations3、The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means().A、tried to hold backB、tried to setC、chargedD、gave out4、Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?A、Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.B、It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.C、Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.D、All people lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.

考题 根据下面资料,回答 That year, in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child that anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty comers, etc. Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes. Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff: sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn′t seem like any of this bothered the new kid. However, little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him. It was the new teacher! The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math. Why did Lewis follow the stupid kid?A.He wanted to learn about where he lives. B.He wanted to find out if he felt upset. C.He wanted to say something to comfort him. D.He wanted to make friends with him.
