These were teens and adults up to the age of 40. We learned new steps together. We laughed together and we shared a love of music and fellowship.I had one pupil , Dan, who didnt appear to get much out of the class. I never had eye contact with him. When I left the class to travel down the stairs to reach the main floor of the building, he moved worriedly as a blind person might do in unfamiliar condition.One day his parents met me shopping downtown and told me that they were so grateful that I was teaching the class.They said that my class was the high point of their sons week. Were they just being polite?A week later, a snowstorm held me up and I was later than usual pulling into the school parking lot. Ahead of me by one row of cars, and over to one side, was my student, Dan and his worker. I could see his face as he moved toward the building. He was excited. I watched Dan run toward the building in anticipation(期待着) his weekly treat, my class. I cried as it hit me that though I could not see in class all that Dan got from the class, it surely meant a lot to him. Dan did indeed love the class. He was getting enjoyment out of it.Today when I teach courses at the College to students, I remind them that children can stand on the sidelines and seem to be uninterested and yet they can be learning at the same pace as those who are in the middle of the activity. When I teach this, I think, yes and this is true for those with disabilities too! Teach with the wonderful enthusiasm and you are bound to reach your students. Do your job with a love for others and you will be successful no matter what your job involves.21. The writer found her working with disabilities_.

What can we learn from the passage? A. The writer was doubtful when hearing what Dans parents said. B. Dan didnt get much of the dancing class. C. Dan received more attention in the writers class. D. The writer was impatient with Dan at first.24.What may be the best title for the passage? A. A student with disability B. Learning with Dan C. Enjoying a lesson with children D. Sharing love with studentsBDennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year- long break from his job. “ I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a “ gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania. “ Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton,N,J. “ In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also desbribed the potential American market for gap years as a “ sleeping giant.”“ A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” Said Dr.Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “ I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “ And I listen better than I did before.”Geoge Garrian, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Mangement at New York University , certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.25. Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he _. A. had lost his old job B. wanted to refresh after 26 years work C. had a desire for travelling D. became interested in historical research26.The phrase “sleeping giant”( in 2nd paragragh) indicates that_. A. its too early for people to accept the concept of gap year. B. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seen C. its difficult to foresee the gap year market D. more American people will accept the gap year policy27. Whats George Garritans attitude toward the “ gap year”? A. positive B. Doubtful C. Uninterested D. uncertain28. Whats the passage mainly about? A. How an adult plans a mid- career gap year B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults C. Whether a gap year is popular with adultsD. Why a gap year is challenging for individualsCFor many years, machines have been doing work that people once did， including some difficult jobs. Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area where they may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings： the restaurant industry.Teams from around the world competed in early June at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals in California. A team from South Korea and its robot called DRC-Hubo，won the first place in the competition. The second and third place winners were from the United States. The robots were required to drive a vehicle, climb up steps and do mechanical work. Such activities are easy for humans to perform，but more difficult for machines. Not all of the competitors were successful. The failures showed how difficuit it is to design effective walkingmachines.Akihiro Suzuki works at Yaskawa Electric，a company that develops robots. He says robots cannot do everything a human can，but they are able to work without becoming tired. He says robots cannot taste food，change heating levels or seasonings to get the best flavor (风 味）.But he says if a food can be easily prepared，a robot can repeat the same movement to reproduce the same meal.One Japanese woman who saw the robots working wanted to bring them home. Masayo Mori says she would like to have a husband who could work like a robot. Suzumo Machinery showed its sushi (寿司）maker robot. It performs the often difficult work of wrapping the popular Japanese food. Hiroshi Monden is an official with the company. He says people all over the world now eat sushi，but there are not enough skilled workers to prepare it. He says his machine can help anyone make sushi.29.In Paragraph 1，the author tells us.A.robots just do difficult jobsB.robots are sometimes dangerousC.robots are widely used in our lifeD.robots are gradually replacing humans30.Why did some teams fail at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals?A.Their robots cannot be applied at home.B.Preparing food is really difficult for robots.C.Their robots can just repeat the same movement.D.They failed to design effective walking robots.31.We can infer from the last paragraph that.A.Japanese men are lazyB.robots are popular in JapanC.Japan has advanced high technologyD.robots usually take the job of making sushi in Japan32.In which column can we probably see the text?A.Education.B.
