(B)Stanley, as a son of a very poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his hometown. “Theres so much to learn,” hed say. “Though were born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He decided that none of his children would be refused an education.Therefore, Stanley insisted that we should learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, wed still do that. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned. We would talk about the news of the day. Sometimes the news was unimportant, but it was always taken seriously. Stanley would listen carefully and discuss it with us. Then came the momentthe time to share the days new learning.“Felice,” hed say, “tell me what you learned today.” “I learned that the population of Denmark is .” Silence.Stanley was thinking about what was said. “The population of Denmark. Hmm. Well” hed say. “Get the map, lets see where Denmark is.” And the whole family went on a search for Denmark.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and joining in one anothers education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting what we learned, confirming our value, Stanley was surely our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting(传授) what Stanley knew all alongthe value of continual learning. His skills have served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Denmark might prove useful.34.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to(指代)_.A. talking about the newsB. sharing what we learnC. learning at schoolD. learning one new thing35.From the passage, we know that the writer _.A.knew very well about Denmark B. felt regret about those wasted daysC. thought his fathers educational skills useful D. only talked about important news with his family36.What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the writer?A. Continual learning.B. Showing talents.C. Family get-together.D. Eating delicious food.37. What is the best title of this passage?A.A poor family B. My best teacherC.Happy time at school D. The most difficult knowledge(C)I didnt want to be a bodybuilding(健美) champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.Deep, deep down ask myself, “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. Im talking about thinking it out for yourself, “What makes you happy?” You have to think outside the box. Thats what I believe, after all. Whats the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be killed and avoid trouble? We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Dont break the law, but break the rules. I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that I couldnt be done. They said, “Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous(巨大的)body, youre overly developed.” They thought I wouldnt fit into movies. But I didnt listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it. Then I got my big break（重大转机）in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks. On that movie, the director said, “If we didnt have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator(终结者), I said, “Ill be back” One of the famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent（腔调）. It just shows that you should never listen to those who say you cant do something.Dont be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, Ive always been willing to fail. Dont be afraid of making decisions. You cant be paralyzed(吓倒) with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination. You know its the right thing to do and success will come. Dont be afraid to fail. -By Arbold Schwarzenegger38. When Arbold Schwarzenegger decided to act, .

In prehistoric (史前的) times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells! In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first “taggers” was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighbourhood and in subway stations on the way to school. Other teenagers saw Demetriuss tag and started writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictures too. In many countries, it is a crime to paint on walls and street artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Artists paint all the buildings in a street. Lots of people come to watch the artists and take photos. Street art can be seen in galleries (美术馆) too. There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles. Most street artists are young people who paint in their neighborhood or home city. Many of them use the Internet to communicate and share photos of their pictures with other street artists around the world.
