Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no _36_ about my ability to hold their attention and to _37_ on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue. I was _38_ when the monitor shouted, “Stand up!” The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat _39_ about how to get them to sit down again, but _40_ that embarrassment was over, I quickly regained my _41_and admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow（发光） which came from a strong _42_ of achievement. My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually _43_ by a strong sense of _44_. The first diary said, “Our foreign teacher didnt _45_ us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Greatly _46_, I read diary after diary, each expressing a _47_ theme. “Didnt I teach them anything? I _48_ the entire philosophical（哲学) framework of western thought and _49_ the historical background for all the works well study in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didnt teach them anything” It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about _50_ were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teachers job was to _51_ interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their _52_. My students thought a teachers job was to provide exact information as _53_ and clearly as possible. What a _54_! However, I also learned a lot, and the _55_ with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.36.

But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted. Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up（蜷伏）with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”Before age 11, children like to tell their parents whats on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.” Parents who know whats going on in their teenagers lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. 56. “The door to his room is always shut” in the first paragraph suggests that the son_. A. is always busy with his studies B. doesnt want to be disturbed C. keeps himself away from his parents D. begins to dislike his parents 57. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that_. A. their daughter isnt as lovely as before B. they cant read their daughters mind exactly C. they dont know what to say to their daughter D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help 58. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends. B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives. 59. What can be learned from the passage?A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children. B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers. BThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers（抢劫犯）.Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck（垃圾车）pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3am by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.60. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick. B. Fortunate and hopeful.C. Satisfied and cheerful. D. Disappointed and helpless.61. From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy_.A. solving her problem at the bank B. taking part in various city activities C. learning acting in an evening school D. preparing for the first night show 62. On her way home the writer_.A. lost her wallet unknowingly. B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver.C. was robbed of her wallet by an armed man.D. found some homeless people following her.63. From the text, we can infer that the writer_.A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San Francisco C. would make friends with cleaners D. would give up her job at the bank C Peopl e believes that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, youre wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet. How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and a harness(保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(绳索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you dont fall. A beginners wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes its easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, its not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. Its normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so its difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top. Climbing attracts people because its good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.64. What can we infer from the passage? A. People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays. B. It is impossible to build up ones body by climbing. C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors. D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.65. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is _. A. to tie ropes to your B. to control your fear C. to move away from the wall D. to climb straight up66. The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means _. A. settlement B. exercise C. excitement D. tiredness67. Why does the author write this passage? A. To tell people where to find gyms. B. To prove the basic need for climbing. C. To encourage people to climb mountains. D. To introduce the sport of wall climbing. DOne stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night. “Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked. The clerk, a friendly man with a warm smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town. “All of our rooms are taken”, the clerk said. “But I cant send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one oclock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? Its not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you feel comfortable for the night.”When the couple declined(婉谢), the young man pressed on. “Dont worry about me. Ill make out just fine,” the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe some day Ill build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isnt easy.Two years passed, the clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of the Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone one, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky. “That,” said the older man, “is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.” “Y
