But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” -Albert Einstein If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someones control over their movement ) and it means ,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems , that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) arent always an accurate measure of her abilities. By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville , Florida ,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation ). I couldnt help but be reminded of Syonas teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly, ” he said . All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers. Syonas teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesnt focus on what cant be doneshe focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syonas confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldnt have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try. I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home .Weve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success. Ulmers reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact , he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.24.What does the author think of Einsteins quote?A. Funny B. True C. Strange D.

He asks his students to help each other26.Syona felt very pleased because_.A. she has developed a cool attitude B. her progress was appreciated by her parentsC. her mother knew what she expressed D. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate27.What change has taken place in the authors family？A. They invite Ulmers students to their home B. They visit Umers classroom regularly C. They feel grateful to people in their lives D. They give each other praise every day CThey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventiesA generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their ageProfessor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960sIn the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matterIt was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish toFashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly”Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure(支出) data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same at 5 or 6 percent of spending the amount of clothes bought had risen sharplyThe professor said, “Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far EastIn the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhereEveryone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by the celebrity(名流) style than in previous yearsShe said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow themOlder women are much more aware of celebrities Theres also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fiftiesWhen I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary womenMy own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago”28Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, _Athe spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%Bthe price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%Cpeople spend 30% less than they did on clothesDthe amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%29What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion？AThey are often ignored by fashion designersBThey are now more easily influenced by starsCThey are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashionDThey are more interested in clothes because of their old age30It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because _Aclothes are much cheaper than before BTV shows teach them how to change their look Cthey are in much better shape now Dthey get tired of things more quickly31Which is the best possible title of the passage?AUnexpected Changes in FashionBThe More Fashionable, the Less ExpensiveCAge Is No Barrier for Fashion FansDBoom of the British Fashion Industry DSoft winds blew throughout the Windy City today.

We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicagos most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66.
