his own way. several weeks ago, i was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. i kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. he sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. i was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. i started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. could he be more intent while standing up？this made me start questioning myself and what i had been raised to believe. i was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to successthis child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of dna and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. as parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way. i have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. we need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. there is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. it makes us free and happy and thats just the way i want my kids to live their own life.41. at the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him_. a. pay more attention to his study b. keep silent in the roomc. finish his homework on time d. get right answers42. inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt_. a. the importance of parents b. the old form of educationc. the relationship between kids and their parents d. the good grades of some kids43. according to the passage, which of the following statements is right?a. we should help kids correct their wrong ways.b. parents should study their kids dna. c. kids should be taught to behave themselves. d. parents should love and accept their kids.44. the author has stopped asking his son to sit down because _.a. he has changed his traditional ideasb. his son wants to be uniquec. his son doesnt follow his adviced. his sons dna is different45. which of the following would be the best title of the passage?a. study hard and youll be successfulb. be friendly to your children c. childrens success in their own styled. parents help with their childrens studybthe hunchback of notre dame is one of the well-known novels written by french author victor hugo. i have just finished this book.reflecting on the content of the book, i am most impressed by the architecture of that time, the churches that represented power and luxury. it shows how great architects appreciation of beauty and their capacityof turning their dreams into buildings.when it comes to the heroine esmerelda, i am deeply impressed by her beauty and kindness. i love her not only for her fascinating appearance but also because of her good mind and pitiful destiny. we can see her pure beauty from how she treats the goat, how she saves the jobless poet, and how she sacrifices for love. in my eyes, she is a lost angelin the world. however, all this perfect girl has received is to lead a vagrant (漂泊的) life. she lives in a gutter and is often made fun of by the so-called upper class of society. she is abandoned and threatened. in the end, esmerelda sadly makes the decision to end her life.different lifestyles are displayed in the novel, like foolish phoebus and the ugly hunchback quasimodo. a striking comparison is demonstrated between phoebus and quasimodo. they both fall in love with the gypsy (吉普赛人) girl at the same time and both are refused. their love is so strong and sincere, while one wants to conquer and the other chooses to sacrifice.i think that may be the real charm of the famous novel. it tells not only a sad story, but also reveals human beings pursuits of love and happiness. however, not everyone receives the same treatment in search of their love and happiness. what should we do when we are confronted with the darkness and unfairness of society? everyone has different answers, as the characters in the novel do.46. what struck the author most was _.a. the content of the book itself b. power and luxuryc. esmereldas vagrant life d. the architecture, esmereldas beauty and kindness47. whats the authors attitude towards esmerelda?a. criticizing and complaining. b. admiring and sympathetic.c. disappointed and upset. d. regretful and sad48. the underline word “ are confronted with” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _. a. are put up withb. are faced with c. are satisfied with d. are covered with49. the best tittle of the passage may be _. a. classic novel still teaches us b. charming esmereldac. the hunchback of norte dame d. different lifestyles in the novelci had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. one january, i officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. both died a natural death. at the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said, “if only i had sent my mother to florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. its my fault that she died.” at the second home, the son said, “if only i hadnt insisted on her going to florida, she would be alive today. that long airplane ride was more than she could take. its my fault.”when things dont turn out as we would like them to, we tend to think that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believed that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. after all, how could it have turned out any worse?there seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. the first lies in our belief that the world makes sense and that there is a reason for everything that happens. the second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. the roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. a baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. he wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. he cries, and someone comes to attend to him. when he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. very often, we do not completely give up that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.50. people feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _.a. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrowb. they dont know the natural course of eventsc. they believe that they are responsible for what has happenedd. they dont know things often turn out in the opposite direction51. the underlined part “the world makes sense” in paragraph 3 probably means that _.a. everything in the world is planned in advanceb. the world can be understood in different waysc. theres an explanation for everything in the worldd. we have to be wise in order to understand the world52. people have believed since early childhood that _.a. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens b. life and death is an unsolved mysteryc. every story should have a happy endingd. everybody must obey their demanddnothing succeeds like confidence. when you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. and gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success. so how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?first, do what you believe to be right, even if others laugh at or criticize you for it. believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. the belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. whats more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided. dont hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. and whats even better is that the things youll do to build self-confidence will also build success after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. no one can take this away from you! as you sow, sow will reap. with your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. at this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and praise graciously. thanks, i really worked hard on that prospect. im pleased you recognize my efforts. the congratulations and praise from others will promote you to gain further success.self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. self-confidence really can be learned and built on. besides, whether youre working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, its well worth the effort! 53. those who are truly confident _.a. succeed without effort and hard work b. appear more attractive and thus become successfulc. encourage people around to become confidentd. gain the confidence of others and feel successful54. when others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to _.a. politely accept the praise b. gain further improvement c. praise them in return d. expect them to congratulate you again55. which of the following proverbs best goes with paragraph 4?a. look before you leap.b. learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones. c. genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.d. it is no use crying over spilt milk.56. the purpose of the text is to _.a. tell people how to become successfulb. convince people to do what they believe to be rightc. criticize people who lack confidence and thus fail in their careerd. encourage people to build confidence and achieve successein management, fairness is a virtue. numerous academic studies
