was telling me “dont watch the 38 when you say, im sorry. hold your head up and look at the person in the 39 , so hell know you 40 it.”my mother thus made the key point of a(n) 41 apology: it must be direct. you must never 42 to be doing something else. you do not 43 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 44 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 45 . you do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 46 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 47 .one of the important things we should do for an 48 apology is a readiness to 49 the responsibility for our careless mistakes. we are used to making excuses, which leaves no 50 for the other person to 51 us. since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 52 about themselves. that, after all, is the 53 of every apology. it 54 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault. being responsible for ones 55

only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. confused, i glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. having no choice, i slowly raised the report i had worked on, hoping to hide myself. “what could be causing everyone to act this way?”quickly, i flashed back to the day miss lancelot gave me the task. this was the first real task i received in my new school. it seemed simple: go on the internet and find information about a man named george washington. since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, i had never heard of that name before. as i searched for the name of this fellow, it became obvious that there were two people with the same name who looked completely different! one invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led army across america. i stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. i called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. ah! tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, george washington carver.weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, i was totally lost. oh well, i lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what i had done wrong. as a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “my report is on george washington, the man who started the american revolution.” the whole world became quiet! how could i know that she meant that george washington?obviously, my grade was terrible. heartbroken but fearless, i decided to turn this around. i talked to miss lancelot, but she insisted: no re-dos; no new grade. i felt that the punishment was not justified, and i believed i deserved a second chance. at last, i threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. ten months later, that chance came as i found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having a completely different conversation. i smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my chance to skip the sixth grade. justice is sweet!56. what did the authors classmates think about his report?a. complex. b. funny.c. boring. d. puzzling.57. why was the author confused about the task?a. he was unfamiliar with american history.b. he followed the advice and flipped a coin.c. he forgot his teachers instruction.d. he didnt know why the teacher gave such a task.58. the underlined word “burning” in para. 3 probably means _.a. annoyed b. ashamedc. ready d. eager59. in the end, the author turned things around _.a. by redoing his taskb. through his own effortsc. with the help of his grandfatherd. under the guidance of his headmasterbdear sir,just over six months ago, i saw an advertisement in the morning mail for a set of the complete works of william shakespeareyour company, cosmo books ltd , offered this set （ eight books of plays and two books of poetry） at a “remarkable” price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing i had wanted a set of shakespeares plays and poems for some time, and these books looked particularly attractive, so i sent for themtwo weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of works of charles dickens which i had not orderedso i returned the dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of shakespearetwo more weeks passedthen there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of shakespeare, the same set of novels by dickens and a six book set of the plays of moliere, in frenchsince i do not read french, these were of no use to me at allhowever, i could not afford to post all these books back to you, so i wrote to you right away instructing you to come and collect all the books that i did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further noticeyou did not reply to that letter. instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of schiller, in germansince then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of goethe, the poems of milton, the plays of strindberg; i hardly know what i havethe books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outsideplease send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding paymentjust send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of shakespeare for which i have paid yours faithfully, simon walker60 simon walkers main purpose of writing the letter is to .a show his anger to cosmo books ltdb argue about sending him books he had not orderedc advise readers not to order books from cosmo books ltdd urge cosmo books ltd. to take away the books he had not ordered61 the advertisement that mr. walker saw in the morning mail was for .a unlimited number of cosmo booksb a set of 10 books of the works of shakespearec fifteen pounds and fifty penced a book containing all the plays and poems of shakespeare62 it can be inferred that .amr. walker took some action after receiving the books he did not orderbseveral sets of books have been sent to mr. walker free of chargeccosmo books have sent bills for books that they have not sentdmr. walker hasnt received the books that he ordered63 the tone（语气）of the letter is that of .abitterness brespect cannoyance dhumorceven when youre extremely busy, you arent using your time with 100% efficiency. there are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time when you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.why arent you completely efficient? its because time isnt the limiting factor. if it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions (消遣). instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.the real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.you might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices（牺牲）. but even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. the reason why its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.i first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. i was extremely busy, but at that time i still exercised regularly. i had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and i still found time to exercise. however, after a few weeks off, because of illness, i stopped exercising. i was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was very light. despite this free time, i found it hard to find time to exercise. it seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. how can i explain this strange experience? i believe you have known it. 64. if someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _.a. a schedule without gaps b. breaks and distractionsc. the limited time d. the limited energy65. according to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.a. work without any rest b. focus on many things at a timec. find some more time in a day d. do some exercise regularly66. the writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.a. prove what the real limiting factor isb. show us how busily he needs to workc. explain how important a healthy body isd. tell us what a strange experience he has67. what is the best title of the passage?a. do you really lack time? b. how can you work efficiently?c. what makes your energy limited? d. when should you do exercise?dwe find that bright children are rarely held back by mix-ability teaching. on the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. we feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. it does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. it can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. after all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!besides, it is rather unusual to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. this is only one aspect of their total personality. we are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their learning ability. we also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.in our classrooms, we work in various ways. the pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. they also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and assess, and to communicate effectively. the pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. they also have some formal class teaching when this is proper. we encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach t
