what about that, sir? im slower than most kids.” “it doesnt matter. it just means that you have to work harder. your grades dont determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.” “i want to buy my mother a house.” “it is possible, mr brown. you can do that.” and he turned to walk away. “mr washington?” “what do you want now?” “uh, im the one, sir. one day youre going to hear my name. im the one, sir.” school was a real struggle for me. mr washington put many demands on me. he made me believe that i could do it. at the end of that year, i was on the honor roll for the first time in my life. years later, i produced five programs on public television. when one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, i had some friends call him. i was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. he said, “may i speak to mr brown, please?” “oh, mr washington, is that you?” “yes, its me. you were the one, werent you?” “yes, sir, i was.”56. what does mr washington mean by saying “someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality”? a. you neednt have the same opinion as others.b. you should believe what other people say.c. what other people say about you may not be correct.d. the doctor made a mistake.57. what happened to the author at last?

a. the increasing number of private tutors.(私人教师) b. the development of teaching methods.c. the increase in the number of online classes. d. the growth in the income of americans.61. it can be learned from the passage that_a. students will be in school from monday to tuesday. b. four-day week was first carried out in south dakota.c. maccray will save one million dollars every year.d. minnesota state has approved the four-day week plan62. the passage is mainly about_a. some schools four-day week plan b. districts using a four-day week.c. how to save on transportation fees. d. expense of school transportation. carriving in new yorkthere are three airports in new york. when you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in new york.eating outthere are many kinds of food in new york. and you shouldnt eat at mcdonalds every day. there are good restaurants in little italy and chinatown, for example.hotelsthere are lots of good hotels in new york. the best is the plaza on the the 5th avenue, but you dont have to spend a lot in the city, there are lots of smaller hotels and the ymca near the central park is great for young people.public transportin new york, theres a good bus and subway service. if you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for the journey because its cheaper. but you don t have to use the public transport-there are lots of places you can go to on foot, such as the empire state building, the 5th avenue and the central park. the new taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!places to seefinally, there are a lot of places to see in new york-the times square, the statue of liberty, and so on. and you shouldnt go home without climbing the statue of liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city.shoppingshopping in new york is fun. there are big shops on the 5th avenue. they are seven days a week. but be careful when you look at the prices; you have to pay a special 8% tax(税) on everything you buy in new york63. the plaza here is the name of _. a. a restaurant b. a hotel c. an airport d. a shop64. how much do you have to pay if you buy a book of $10 in new york?a. $10.8 b. $10.08 c. $18 d. $1065. when you visit new york, you should a. eat at mcdonalds every day b. take a taxi whenever you go outc. stay at the best hotel d. climb the statue of liberty66. from the passage, we can learn that a. people can visit many places of interest in new york on footb. new york is not a good place for shoppingc. people must travel using the public transport in new yorkd. people have to eat only one kind of food in new yorkdparties, ipods, concerts, movies, tv shows, video games, traffic. all of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable. but our 21st-century lifestyle is also loud and, if we dont take notice, it can have an effect on our hearing.most teenagers dont think about hearing loss. but if you experience any of the following symptoms , you may already be hearing damaged: you make efforts to hear normal talk, you have to turn up the tv or radio so high that others complain, you watch other peoples expressions to understand what they are saying, you ask people to repeat themselves, you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears.ipods and other mp3 players are as common as the clothes you wear, and just as fashionable. but if you turn up an ipod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume , and listen to music for more than an hour, you are asking for trouble. and, it does not matter if the music you play is classical, rock or heavy metal.some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to ipods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss.why is an ipod dangerous?
