who do you think you are？”at that time i didnt realize my wife was looking on. without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires，and shouted at the phone，“yeah! who do you think you are？bad telephone ! bad telephone!” and she swept it into the wastebasket.i stood watching her, speechless. what on earth?she stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “now hear this! all objects in this room if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly，“honey，you just have to learn how to take control. ” with that, she left the room.after watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight，i noticed that something in my mood had changed. i was laughing. how could i have trouble with that phone？her antics helped me realize i had been driven crazy by small things. twenty minutes later my agent did call. i was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.56why did the author shout at the telephone?a. he was mad at the telephone. b. he was angry with his agent.c. he was anxious about his wife. d. he was impatient with the secretary.57what did the authors wife do after she heard his shouting?a. she said nothing. b. she threw the phone awayc. she called the agent. d. she shouted at him.58what made the author laugh?a. his changeable feelings. b. his wifes suggestion.c. his own behavior. d. his wifes sweet kiss.59what does the underlined word“ antics” refer to?a. smart words. b. surprising looks. c. unusual actions. d. anxious feelings.bdo american children still learn handwriting in school? in the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. but studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing copies for 10 -15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day which really for handwriting is pretty much.many adults remember learning that way by copying letters over and over again. today s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. after all, that is why we write.handwriting involves two skills. one is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. the other is fluency writing without having to think about it. fluency continues to develop up until high school.but not everyone masters these skills. teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.but steve graham at vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. american children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive（草书）, which connects the letters. but guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the college board, which administers the sat college admission test. more than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.60we can learn _ from paragraph 1.a. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingb. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingc. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely d. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job61which of the following is wrong for traditional handwriting in the usa?a. to write in cursive is taught first. b. the letters are repeated many times.c. handwriting includes two skills.d. the students are taught by practicing a long period.62the underlined word “legibility” in paragraph 3 means _.a complex b. easy to read c. unexpected d. unreadable63the best title for the passage is _.a. how to improve handwriting in schoolb. handwriting lessons are on the way outc. handwriting involves two skillsd. right or wrong: the death of handwriting chow to be a winnersir steven redgravewinner of 5 olympic gold medals“in 1997 i was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病)believing my career was over, i felt extremely low. then one of the specialists said there was no reason why i should stop training and competing. that was itthe encouragement i needed. i could still be a winner if i believed in myself. i am not saying that it isnt difficult sometimes. but i wanted to prove to myself that i wasnt finished yet. nothing is to stand in my way.”karen pickeringswimming world champion“i swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. i manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. this is the key to successyou cant follow a career in any field without being well organized. list what you believe you can achieve. trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and youll be a step closer to achieving them.”kirsten bestpoet & writer“when things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that i cant achieve something. then，there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. the key is to concentrate. when i feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such ascalm，peace orfocus，either out loud or silently in my mind. it makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. this is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool.”64what does sir steven redgrave mainly talk about?a. difficulties influenced his career.b. specialists offered him medical advice.c. he overcame the shadow of illness to win.d. training helped him defeat his disease.65what does karen pickering put on top of her diary?a. her sports career. b. her daily happenings.c. her achievements. d. her training schedule.66what does the underlined word “distractions” probably refer to?a. ways that help one to focus. b. words that help one to feel less tense.c. activities that turn ones attention away.d. habits that make it hard for one to relax.67according to the passage，what do the three people have in common?a. courage. b. self-confidence. c. hard work. d. devotion. dwhat is ebay? the simple answer is that it is a global trading platform（平台） where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. people can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods，including cars, movies and dvds, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes the list goes on and on.the idea came from pierre omidyar, who was born in paris and moved to washington when he was still a child. at high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from tufts university in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. in his free time he started ebay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. by 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade and he began charging a fee to members. joined by a friend, peter skoll, and in 1998 by his capable ceo, meg whitman, he_has_never_looked_back. even in the crashes of the late 1990s, ebay has gone from strength to strength. it is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the internet.ebay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. all you have to do is take an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business; the world is your market place. of course for each item sold ebay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on ebay and eighty percent of the items are sold.68we learn from the text that ebay provides people with _.a. a chance to buy things at low prices b. a website for them to upgradec. a place to exhibit their own photos d. a way of buying and selling goods69why did pierre create ebay after graduating from university?a. for fun. b. to make
