It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 24 because I didnt have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 25 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 26 for it”, I wouldnt have decided to give a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 27 of it! When I first started 28 the practice sessions, I didnt even know the rules of the game, much 29 what I was doing. Sometimes Id get 30 and take a shot at the wrong directionwhich made me feel really stupid. 31 , I wasnt the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 32 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didnt 33 “just yet”.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 34 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 35 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 36 friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!With my 37 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A. red one stands for a living mother. A. white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services（宗教仪式）to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays. 41. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring children B. Parents give love and care to childrenC. Parents educate children to be good persons. D. Parents pass away before children grow up42. What do you know from the passage?A. Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May. B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC. Not all the children respect their parentsD. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home43. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A. It only has two kinds of color. B. It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mothers Day or Fathers Day. C. Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes. D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May. 44. What do you think “florists” do?A. They sell flowers B. They made bread or pastryC. They offer enough room for having family parties. D. They sell special clothes for Mothers Day and Fathers Day. BLet children learn to judge their own work. A. child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycleThey compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine（日常的）work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know. 45. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_. A. listening to skilled peoples advice. B. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them corrected D. doing what other people do46. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?. A. Give children correct answers B. Allow children to mark mistakes. C. Point out childrens mistakes to them. D. Let children mark their own work47. According to the writer, teachers in school should _A. allow children to learn from each otherB. point out childrens mistakes whenever foundC. correct childrens mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge48. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_A. different from learning other skills B. the same as learning skillsC. more important than other skills D. not really important skillsC“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back raising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness makes error a fault.”To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with foolery and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is mans last and greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feelings. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.49、The underlined word “conquer” in Paragraph 1 is equal to“ ” in the passage.Acontrol Bdestroy Cdamage Dcatch50、The underlined phrase “fierceness makes error a fault” in Paragraph 2 means“ .”Aanger will lead to fierceness Bfierceness lies in angerCanger will make things worse Dfierceness will make things better51、The writer mentioned the following results of losing temper EXCEPT .Alosing a good many friends Bdropping deadCcatching disease Dbeing destroyed by the gods52、The writer wrote the passage in order to .Aexplain that self-control is the key to successBtell us how to control ourselvesCteach people how to control everythingDadvise people not to lose temper so as to make more friendsDAs a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldnt believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasnt frightenedI was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever feltmuch better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you dont stop living just because you are 84 years old. If theres something you want to experience, look into it. If its something that is possible, make it happen.53. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplane B.
