I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and beloved person in my life.Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to an eightyearold child didnt mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammar. And he was demanding,_but he wasnt unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.Luckily enough, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I dont know the answer，” I would say. “I cant do it！” “Perhaps you dont know the answer，” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do if you dont have a try？”Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough. “Dont be so hard on yourself，”hed say.“Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well，then youre not a failure，” he often told me these words.Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I dont feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others，but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best and he also taught me that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, I believe that we cant all be “the best”， but we can, each of us, be our best. And I know thats true because Mr. Myrus told me that.24. What does the underlined word “demanding” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Strict. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Careful.25. Why did the author think he was lucky in Paragraph 3?A.

What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author may have become a teacher.B. The author liked to recall his childhood.C. The author believed he would be the best of all.D. The author ended up being a man of selfconfidence.27. What can we learn about Mr. Myrus according to the passage?A. He is usually indifferent to the students.B. He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C. He is a person who isnt particular about what he wears.D. He is sometimes cruel and unreasonable to his students.CEven the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down？Consider these things to remember when youre having a bad day.No one promised life would be perfect. If you look for perfection, youll never be content. Dont condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. It is good to be ambitious，but youll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.Success doesnt happen overnight. Trees_that_are_slow_to_grow_bear_the_best_fruit._Dont kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isnt easy to be patient，but anything worth doing requires time. If you get frustrated, remind yourself why your goal is important.There is a lesson in every struggle. And once the storm is over，you wont remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you wont be the same person who walked in. Thats what this storms all about. Dont complain about how terrible your life is. If you search for the lesson in your present struggle, youll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future.Without hard times, you wouldnt appreciate the good ones. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to give in, that is strength. It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself？If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process, youll stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes.28.

The UN resolution(决议) has no timetable. But ministers at an environment summit believe it will set the course for much tougher policies and send a clear signal to business.Under the resolution, governments would establish an international task force(特遣小组) to advise on fighting what the UNs oceans chief has described as a world crisis. One controversial issue is the wish to include businesses on the global task force. Ministers say the problem will not be solved without business, but green groups point out that some firms in the plastics industry have been against restrictions for decades. Vidar Helgesen, a leading voice in the talks, told BBC News, “Business is listening to markets and seeing how marine litter(海洋垃圾) is a growing popular concern. Its possibly the fastestgrowing environmental problem and its therefore a fastgrowing problem for business. We need to bring on board those companies that want to change things, and then look at taxes and regulations to make more companies act.”Certainly, there has been resistance from plastics firms to the bans. One UN delegate, who did not want to be named, stated that journalists in some countries were being paid by the plastics industry to write stories about job losses following the plastic bag ban. But they did not mention the jobs being created in alternatives, such as labourintensive basketwork, which provides work for the rural poor. But some governments are standing firm, and the meeting has witnessed individual nations declaring tougher action against singleuse plastic bags.The UNs spokesman Sam Barratt told BBC News, “Of course we would have liked to have gone further, but this meetings made real progress. Theres now a sense of urgency and energy behind the issue that we havent quite seen before. What is obvious, though, is that the UN cant solve this problem on its own. We need to do it in partnership with governments, businesses and even individuals.”32. What can we know about the UN resolution on plastic waste?A. Plastic waste should be banned on land too.B. Plastic waste should be recycled by business.C. The UN made exact time to stop it entering oceans.D. The UN may make stricter policies in the future.33. What can we infer from what Vidar Helgesen said?A. Business doesnt see the problem of marine litter.B. Fastestgrowing marine litter is a new problem.C. Governments should force companies to act by policy.D. Most companies want to stop marine life from disappearing.34. Why did some companies pay journalists to write articles about job losses?A. To express their satisfaction with governments.B. To struggle against the strict plastic bag ban.C. To show difficulties in labourintensive basketwork.D. To make governments stand firm against plastic bags.35. What is the best title for the text?A. The UN is committed to handling ocean plastic wasteB. The UN tries to protect the marine lifeC. We should solve the plastic waste problemD. We should ban plastic waste completely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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Overcome Culture Shock in the ClassroomCulture shock occurs in a classroom when students are exposed to a new situation._36_.
