i write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. no matter how critical (不满的) students can be of themselves, ive found that a simple “i trust that you can do it!” can go a long way! 21.

a close teacher-student relationship b. to introduce a new way of sports training c. to explain the value of sports and games d. to show the importance of encouragement 24. the passage is mainly written for _. a. teachers b. parents c. students d. players bwhats black and white and read all over? not newspapers, at least not anymore. in fact, if youre like most young people, you probably dont read the newspaper at all.in one recent survey, just 19 percent of 18 to 34-year-old said they read a newspaper every day, while 37 percent watch local tv news and 44 percent visit internet news sites daily. as people turn more and more to new technologies, they turn the pages of newspapers less and less. “theres a revolution (革命) in the way young people get news,” says media consultant merrill brown.just a generation (一代人) or two ago, the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news. now, nearly every home has at least one tv set. theres high-speed, wireless internet both at home and in many public places. you no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. thanks to new technology, if you want to know whats going on in the world, you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one. so newspapers face a very big challenge. raised on mtv and video games, todays kids and young adults want flashy displays, special effects, quick information, and the chance to interact (互动) in real time, even when theyre reading about serious problems. if newspapers cant find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely. traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end, lack (缺乏) of interaction. with web pages, on the other hand, theres more freedom. you can look through the things youre interested in, then follow links to other sources. you can join discussion groups, read other peoples opinions on a topic, or start a blog to express your own views.25. this passage is mainly about _.a. the disappearing newspaper b. different news sourcesc. the future of the internet d. the new technologies26. from the survey, we can see that _.a. tv has become the major source of news b. newspapers are no longer the major source of newsc. more than half of the 18-to-34-year-old visit news sites dailyd. new technologies have replaced the traditional one27. according to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned about the disadvantage of newspapers?a. high price. b. lack of changes. c. slow speed. d. lack of interaction.28. the author of the passage would probably think the future of newspapers is _.a. attractive b. bright c. hopeless d. uncertaincin fine department stores everywhere, youll see the light-blue boxes of estee lauder. these popular cosmetics (化妆品) are sold in more than 130 countries. whos the woman behind this worldwide cosmetics empire (帝国)? estee lauder herself, of course. this businesswoman became, for a time, the worlds richest self-made woman. her secret? “i didnt get there by dreaming about it,” she would say. “i got there by doing it.” estee was born in the early 1900s in queens, new york. her father ran a hardware (五金器具) store, and from him estee learned how to be a successful salesperson. estee learned from her uncle john schotz, too. he made creams in a small laboratory behind the familys house. estee watched him. soon, she was experimenting with her own cosmetics. she put lipstick (唇膏) and creams on any female relative whod let her, until her annoyed father told her to stop.she married joseph h. lauder in 1930, and continued her experiments. she would cook dinner for the family, and at the same time, make her face creams. then she began to sell her products in a manhattan beauty shop.in 1960, estee began to sell her products in europe. after many tries she succeeded and began selling her products in some stores in london. but france proved even more difficult. the store galleries lafayette refused to sell her products. so estee “by accident” dropped a bottle of youth dew (香水) on the floor in the cosmetics department. as the scent spread around the store, customers came over and asked to buy it. the store soon began selling estees products.estee led her company until 1982, when her son leonard took over the business. until her health worsened in the mid-1990s, she continued to attend the opening of a new store wherever in the world. she died on april 24, 2004. estee lauders talent as a saleswoman was extraordinary. her son leonard said, “there was never anyone who could sell like she could.” all who worked for estee appreciated her special talent.29. which of the following can best describe estee lauder?a. a successful cosmetics saleswoman. b. a beautiful shop owner in london.c. a popular cosmetics producer in france.d. a founder of a cosmetics company in america.30. what was estee lauders fathers attitude towards her when she tried her products on her female relatives?a. he supported her and helped her.b. he didnt care about what she did.c. he was very angry at her for what she did.d. he was proud of what she did.31. estee managed to get her products known to the french customers by dropping a bottle of youth dew on the floor in the cosmetics department of a store _.a. on purpose b. with the stores permissionc. by accident d. carelessly 32. the underlined word “scent” in paragraph 3 probably means _.a. estees product b. a customers praise c. a pleasant smell d. the broken pieces of glassdwhen the seventeenth-century settlers brought the english language to america, they immediately and necessarily began to adapt (使适应) it to their new environment. these changes were clear early and criticized by some people on both sides of the atlantic. however, after the revolution, americans began to be proud of their own form of english. noah webster was the major early supporter of american meanings and spellings over british ones and published the earliest american dictionary, an american dictionary of the english language. during the years since webster, language differences have continued to develop, proving (证明) the truth of george bernard shaws often-repeated words that the two nations are divided by a common language.like the american language, the earliest american literature (文学) copied english models. however, after the revolution and the war of 1812, writers began to create a clear american literature. however, in 1820, sydney smith asked the famous question “who reads an american book?”answering to this and similar taunts (讽刺) with creative anger, american writers soon produced works that plenty of british people read. works by washing-ton irving, walt whitman, and mark twain had been acclaimed greatly in britain by the end of the nineteenth century. even as american writers got respect in britain, british writers continued to have great influence in america. charles dickens went to america twice, in 1842 and 1867-68. other major british writers who traveled and lived in the united states include d.h. lawrence and aldous huxley. british best works continue to be widely read. the works of william shakespeare and jane austen became popular films.at the turn of the twenty-first century, many books and writers continue to cross the atlantic in both directions made possible by the proud heritage (继承) of the shared language.33. the author of this passage seems to think _.a. british english is better than american englishb. american english is better than british englishc. the same language has divided the two nationsd. the same language has connected the two nations34. from the question asked by sydney smith, we can infer _.a. the british had to translate american books into english onesb. the british found american books difficult to understandc. the british thought highly of books written by americansd. the british looked down upon american books at first35. the underlined word “acclaimed” in paragraph 3 probably means “_”.a. sold b. discussed c. welcomed d.
