i was in college twenty-five years ago, i spent four summers working in house keeping at a hotel in downtown chicago. in other words, i was a maid. each may, i wore a black uniform dress, working with a dust cloth.i did not enter the world of housekeeping with much interest. my friends had summer jobs such as making ice creams, shopkeepers at the mall, or a lifeguard at the outdoor pool. i had been hoping to get a job as an office lady for a famous company: high pay, an air-conditioned office, as most of us dreamed of.when that fell through, the only chance left was to take the twenty-five-minute train ride downtown each morning to work as a maid during the busy summer season in chicago.it was tiring work, cleaning up to eighteen rooms a day. my poor attitude led to my disdain（鄙视）for clearing toilets, making beds, cleaning the dust eight hours a day for the comfort of strangers who seldom left a tip. my maid work was average, until the day i was asked to work on the eighteenth floor.that was lorenas regular floor. the only time another maid set foot on it was on lorenas day off. if you left any watermarks on the mirror, or a hair on the bed, lorena would hunt you down when she returned. she ended her lecture to me with, take some pride in your work.she did. and so did rosalie, helen, annette, pearlie, earline, and all of the other experienced maids. their devotion to doing a good job and their belief that their work was a reflection（反映）of their character influenced me throughout my professional career. i learned a lot from them during those four summers.not a week went by without one of them offering some firm but friendly advice: wheres your brush? you dont have one? how do you expect to get that bowl clean?or youd better not use that cleanser. that one will leave too much foam. don t cut corners. do the right thing.their pride in the job was reflected in how they treated themselves. they left the building at the end of the day in nice dresses and carful makeup. they looked like they could have been attending an afternoon tea. and, most often, they were smiling and laughing, cheerfully greeting their co-workers a good evening. when you work with happiness and satisfaction, a job will be well done. i belive there is respect in any job if you work hard and try your best.51the author didnt show much interest in maid work mainly because .ano one liked itbher classmates laughed at hercshe didnt have a good attitude towards itdit couldnt help her to find her ideal work52the underlined phrase fell through in the third paragraph refers to .astruggled fo get onebfailed to achievecwas given updwas supposed to stop53the author changed her attitude towards her job because .alorena blamed her seriouslyblorena helped her sincerelyclorenas words influenced herdlorena promised to raise her pay54which of the following would be the best title for the text?achoosing a perfect job for yourself.bhow to deal with your unsatisfactory work.clearn to respect yourself while working.dsatisfaction with a job well done.bmy new teacher is cool. her name is paula so we call her miss paula.the first time we met her she said we are going to be good friends and that good friends are always nice to each other.miss paula has been teaching us a lot of things. some of us used to get in trouble for talking in the hallway. miss paula says she cant change the rule that we cant make noise in the hallway but we can still talk to each other. she is teaching us sign language. i already know how to say hello and how are you with my hands. now we love it when we have to walk somewhere and we are always quiet except for a laugh or two.miss paula likes everybody even sam and nobody likes sam. he never does what hes told but now he is doing better. miss paula says every single one of us is perfect and beautiful just the way we are. i guess that includes sam.this week at school was really the best ever. i didnt even get in trouble when i thought i would, because i spilled（洒）milk on my homework and had to turn it in when it was still wet. miss paula just smiled and asked, whats this? so i told her what happened. miss paula put it near the window to dry. she said the sun had been waiting for such an important job as this and would be happy to help us.well, i have to go and get ready for bed now. i have school in the morning and i want to wake up early so i will have time to pick miss paula some flowers.55what do we know about miss paula?ashe changed the school rules.bshe uses sign language in class.cshe is very kind to her students.dshe is strict with the writer.56according to paragraph 4, sam .adislikes his new teacherbhas made some progresscis often praised by miss paula dis one of the writers best friends57how did the writer probably feel when he handed in his homework?arelaxed.bbored.cexcited.dworried. 58we can learn from the text that the writer .aloves and respects her new teacherbis a bit afraid of her new teachercwrote this article in the morning dpicked her teacher some flowersctiger mothers who push their children to achieve at all costs（不惜任何代价）might actually be harming their childrens chances.children perform best when they are told that failure and trying again is a normal part of learning. being told that failure are inferior leaves young men too afraid to deal with problem and master new things.we paid attention to a traditional idea that failure equals being stupid, said frederique autin, a researcher at the university of poitiers.by being crazy about success, students are afraid to fail, so they dont want to take difficult step to master new things. accepting that difficulty is an important part of learning could stop the bad feeling that difficulty creates, for those bad feelings could in turn affect learning. our research suggests that students will benefit（使受益）from education that gives them room to struggle with difficulty. teachers and parents should pay more attention to childrens progress rather than their grades. learning takes time and each step during learning should be rewarded, especially at early stages when students most likely will experience failure. autin said.people usually believe that school achievement simply shows students inherent（内在的）academic ability, which can be difficult to change, said the university of poitiers jean-claude croizet. but teachers and parents may be able to help students succeed just by changing the way in which the material is presented.in the first experiment with 111 french pupils aged from 11 to 12, students were given very difficult problems that none of them could solve. one group was told that learning is difficult and failure is common, but practice will help. children in a second group were just asked how they tried to solve the problems.in the experiment, the students who had been told that failure is common but practice will help did better on measurements of cognitive（认识的）abilities.how students think about failure may be more important than their own success when learning difficult skills, the study noted.the improvement may not last long, but the results showed that working memory ability may be improved simply by increasing students confidence and reducing their fear of failure.59the underlined word inferior in para. 2 probably means .abadbspecialcdishonestdpeaceful60autin suggested that educators should .apay more attention to childrens progressbtry their best to help kids get higher gradescreward excellent students from time to timedhelp improve kids inherent academic ability61whats the authors attitude to tiger mothers style of family education?ahe was very fond of it.bhe felt it was worth a try.che was strongly against it.dhe thought it was understandable.62what would be the best title for the text?aimportant rules of modern education.bthe importance of failure in our life.ctell your kids that failure is quite normal.dtell your kids they will be rewarded for their progress.ddear arizona,i just found out i have to wear glasses in the new school year. im afraid people will laugh at me. what should i do?ryan in gettysburgdear ryan,as soon as i read your letter, i thought of tito. he is good at almost every sport. so, when we were playing indoor soccer in gym class and tito kept messing up（搞糟）, i knew these was something unusual. tito told others that he couldnt see because he had something in his eye.later that day, i went over to tito at lunch and asked if his eye was feeling better. and right at that moment, an eyeglasses case dropped out of his backpack. i didnt know tito wore glasses. i encouraged him to put them on, but he refused and asked me not to tell anyone about the secret.then one day, this other kid named tyler in my class showed up wearing a pair of glasses. he looked really cool. some students even wished they had a pair.the next day, tito came in wearing his glasses and that was that. maybe there were a few little jokes at first, but for the most part, people hardly seemed to notice. what people did notice, though, was that tito went right back to being the best athlete around. he wears special sports glasses and has no trouble keeping his eye on the ball!so, dear ryan, i hope youll stop worrying. if kids in your school laugh at you about your new glasses, just try to ignore them. remember that the kids worth playing with are the ones who like you for who you are, not what you wear.now go out there and have fun looking at the world clearly!63whats ryans problem?ahe is unable to see clearly.bhe looks strange with glasses.che cant get along well with other kids.dhe may be laughed at for wearing glasses.64according to the text, in that gym class tito
