i used to think that life in jim thorpe, pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing routines. i hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. i also didnt like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. i felt trapped. i felt like i was missing out on opportunities. it seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.then i took my first trip to new york city. i couldnt wait to experience the city. however, when i arrived in the big apple, it wasnt at all what i had imagined. i knew it was home to thousands of people, but i hadnt had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. all the streets were filled with people. i also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace. when i took the subway for the first time, i said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. she looked at me with dislike and didnt say a word.after just one day, i realized how important my small town is to me. now i appreciate the familiar faces i see every day. i like the feeling of security（安全） and belonging my town offers. jim thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesnt provide. i realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger it really can make your day a little better.my big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that i didnt even know i had. i never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if i had not taken that trip to new york city.24. how did the author feel about life in jim thorpe at first?a. people there cared little about others.b. people there liked to accept new things.c. living there was a great disadvantage.d. there were many chances of career development.25. what surprised the author most in new york city?a. the gestures of greeting.b. the modern transportation.c. the fast pace of life.d. the crowded streets.26. what made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown? a. travelling to new york city.b. the familiar faces in jim thorpe. c. a big place in his / her town.d. everybody likes talking about others.27. what would be the best title for the passage?a. love of my small townb. a sense of communityc. a pleasant trip to new york cityd. differences between big cities and small townsci got into the teaching profession by choice. i was then in 9th grade, when my mathematics teacher asked me to take a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. and believe me, i enjoyed the teaching. i never knew teaching would be so interesting. i loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.after my post graduation, i worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in bangalore for a few years. but i realized that no job could provide me the satisfaction that i experienced while teaching and training. in fact, i feel it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. i applied to a few colleges, and finally i was chosen as a “lecturer”, and i had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college. on the first day, i was nervous thinking that i had to teach the senior classes. but now i can say that taking lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. i was a computer science and information technology lecturer, but i tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). it was a new feeling to me every morning before going to the classes. i used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “good morning, madam”.to me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences and new queries(疑问). i loved to explore their young minds, read their inquisitive faces when a particular topic seemed tough. it was very challenging to motivate them to take part in the classroom, think critically, question and also respect others point of view. though few things never seemed easy, it was very exciting to assure them that they really can. that is the reason, i love to teach.28. from the first paragraph, we can know .a. the authors maths teacher was strict with himb. the author felt happy to teach the studentsc. not all the teachers like students to ask questions d. the author in the beginning thought teaching boring29. why did the author refuse working as a software developer?a. because the salary was lower than that being a teacher. b. because the working conditions were quite bad.c. because he didnt feel the same satisfaction as being a teacher.d. because he wanted to try more chance to challenge his value. 30. which of the following statements is ture?a. the author looked down upon being a teacher at first.b. the author taught knowledge about various subjects. c. the author found teaching was easier than any jobs.d. the author encouraged students to take part in outdoor activities. 31. whats the best title of the passage?a. choosing your job according to your interest b. how to build a good relationship with studentsc. an unforgettable teaching experience d. why i love to work as a teacher dyou may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. one reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. but now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.the us government is especially worried about the problem. thats why the food and drug administration (fda) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. whats more, caffeine is habit-forming. those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired. one of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like red bull. a 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. a similar serving of red bull contains more than three times that amount. the institute of medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures. “teenagers should not drink beverages that contain caffeine. they should be aware of caffeines effects on health and on how the brain works. take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. they will remember less of what they just studied,” said stallings, a member of the institute.companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids. however, there is no law to stop children from buying them. so the fda needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. as for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. if not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remind consumers. the government must do that. doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. if you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.32. what is the us government particularly concerned about?a. the fact that coffee contains caffeine.b. the measures of avoiding caffeines effects.c. the practice of adding caffeine to foods.d. the practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.33. red bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _.a. drinks which contain much caffeineb. caffeines effects on healthc. teenagers addiction to caffeined. peoples concern about teenagers health34. paragraph 5 is mainly about _.a. the process of the governments controlling the use of caffeineb. the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeines effectsc. the governments responsibility of taking care of teenagersd. the risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays35. the author may agree that _.a. getting enough sleep can make people energetic b. headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagers c. food makers dont add much caffeine to many products nowd. caffeine is good and useful for
