One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice. About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didnt you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since youre so good at it. John answered, Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason. From then on, I often remember my students reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves, Ive found that a simple I trust that you can do it! can go a long way!25. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about Johns _A. PE marks B. self-confidence C. interest in sports D. state of health26. Why did John take part in the track team? A.

The purpose of this passage is probably _.A. to build a close teacher-student relationship B. to introduce a new way of sports training C. to explain the value of sports and games D. to show the importance of encouragement28. The passage is mainly written for _.A. teachers B. parents C. students D. playersC How are you? is a nice question. Its a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But How are you? is also a very unusual question. Its a question that often doesnt need an answer. The person who asks How are you? hopes to hear the answer Fine, even if the persons friend isnt fine. The reason is that How are you? isnt really a question and Fine isnt really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying Hello or Hi. Sometimes, people also dont say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks Do you agree? the other person might think, No, I disagree. I think youre wrong But it isnt very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say Im not sure. Its a nicer way to say that you dont agree with someone. People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says I have to go now. Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: Someones at the door. Something is burning on the stove. The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesnt hurt the other person. Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people dont say exactly what they are thinking. Its an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and its part of the game of language.29. When a person in the United States asks How are you?, he or she wants to hear _.A. How are you? B. Hello. C. I dont know. D. Fine.30. When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say _.A. Youre wrong. I disagree. B. Im not sure. C. Im sure I disagree. D. No, I disagree.31.

Never say exactly what you are thinking.D When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street.

She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that next to nothing could hold me down.She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University.

Riley once said, “The American family is the rock on which a solid education can be built. I have seen examples all over this nation where two-parent families, single parents, stepparents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles are providing strong families support for their children to learn. If families teach the love of learning, it can make all the difference in the world to their children. 36 ”Read together 37 Show your kids how much you value reading by keeping good books, magazines, and newspapers in the house. Let them see you read. Take them on trips to the library and encourage them to get library cards. Let children read to you, and talk about the books. What was the book about? Why did a character act that way? What will he or she do next?Look for other ways to teach children the magic of language, words, and stories. 38 Point out words to children wherever you goto the grocery, to the pharmacy, to the gas station. Encourage your children to write notes to grandparents and other relatives.Use TV wiselyAcademic achievement drops sharply for children who watch more than 10 hours of television a week, or an average of more than two hours a day. Parents can limit the amount of viewing and help children select educational programs. 39 This will help children understand how stories are structured. 40 Studies show that successful students have parents who create and maintain family routines. Make sure your child goes to school every day. Establish a regular time for homework each afternoon or evening, set aside a quiet, well lit place, and encourage children to study. Routines generally include time performing chores, eating meals together, and going to bed at an established time.A. Be honest with children.B. Establish a daily family routine.C. Parents can also watch and discuss shows with their kids.D. Tell stories to your children about their families and their culture.E. So here are steps you can take to improve your childrens education.F. Children who read at home with their parents perform better in school.G.

Is it the day we achieve success?” the young man asked.“None. The most important day in our lives is today,” the wise man replied 63 (calm).“Why?” the young man was very surprised. “Is it because there are some unusual events 64 (take) place today?”“No. Nothing has happened today. Its 65 today is the only wealth 66 actually belongs to us. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone 67 ; no matter how wonderful tomorrow will be, it hasnt come; no matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands.”The young man still wanted to ask 68 , but the wise man stopped him and said, “When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say, part of today 69 (pass).”Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountains. Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have.
