I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth, so I decided that my approach must be wrong, and I should try another way.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,” “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Ill give you twenty pounds.” “Its got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, its nothing.” Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. I am sorry. Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “ You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, “Would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(五英镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.11.

CSure, its good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, its good to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to understand the different types of people youll meet throughout your life.Z“But really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, youre at a wonderful stage in your life. Youre like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, youre able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person whos giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if youre open to what theyre teaching you. Thats why they wanted to be teachers in the first placeto teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things arent going well, they wont learn as well and wont enjoy being in class.18In the passage, the author mainly talks about _.A. how to get along well with othersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant19“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _.A. learning becomes easier for you at once B. you find an opening to learningC. therell be more problems with learning D. therell be no problems at all with learning20According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.第二节：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。选项中的两项为多余选项。（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10分）Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger.
