I had _36_ a long time learning what to teach，but not learning how to _37_ it. Somehow，my university seemed to hope a weekend spent with experienced professors would _38_ for that. My colleagues presented wellcrafted lectures about the tools they used. I enjoyed their _39_，but do not remember a thing they said.At a coffee break during the lectures，finding myself _40_，I turned to a mathematics professor standing nearby. I asked him what his favorite teaching _41_ was. “A cup of coffee，”he said, “I talk too much and too fast in the classroom. Students sometimes have trouble _42_ me. So when Ive said _43_that I want my students to think about，I would _44_ and take a sip of coffee. It lets what Ive just said sink in.”When we were called to the next talk，he put down his cup and I _45_ there was not a trace of coffee in it. “My doctor _46_ me to stop drinking coffee，”he explained. “So I have always used a(n) _47_ cup.” I decided to try his _48_ in my class.I took a cup of coffee with me to my next class. It helped. My pauses，as I _49_ the coffee，not only gave my students _50_ to think about what I had said，but gave me time to think about what I was going to say next. I began to use my _51_ to look around the room to see how my students were reacting to what I had just said. When I saw their _52_ wander，I tried to bring them back. When I saw them puzzled over some concept that I thought I had _53_，I gave another example. My _54_ became less organized and less brilliant，but my students seemed to _55_ me better.36.

I was raised to respect others and value education. “You can be anything you want to be，”my parents always say. My parents are never without a helpful word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.I always knew that going to college was expected of me. After all，both of my parents are college graduates with many degrees. Even after I decided that Id rather get married to a man who was so clearly wrong for me than go to college at 16，they never stopped telling me that they loved me and that I could do anything I wanted to do. Thankfully，they talked some sense into me(开导我别干傻事)I graduated from high school and currently attend the University of Oklahoma. I want to make the world a better place. And I know that my parents are the reason for this.Every time I call home to tell them about a grade I received，they tell me how proud of me they are. I know there are college students out there that have no one to call home to when they get an A on a project and I feel lucky to have my parents.Dont get me wrong. Weve had our share of problems. I was the angry teenager and they were the terrible parents that wouldnt let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced (穿透)But we managed to work through those issues. They never stopped loving me or believing in me.Without their constant love and encouragement，I cant be successful. My parents taught me to always fight for what I believe in. And so Im working toward something really great and can only hope that I continue to make them proud.56What made the author change her attitude towards life?AA man she met when she was 16.

But to those who are new to it all，sometimes it can be confusing.October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers Week for their newcomers. Its a great opportunity to make new friends，join lots of clubs and settle into university life.However，having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，the prospect(前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nervewracking(令人焦虑不安的)Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Which clubs should you join?Luckily，there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you are worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Dont rush into anything that youll regret for the next three years.Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers Week：Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette(礼节)Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.Be sociable.

The suspect looked up，and began to walk out of the store. “Excuse me，”I said putting my hand on his shoulder. “Forget to pay for anything？”For a moment，the suspect stopped，and then he wanted to run away. Before he could run，I got hold of his jacket. He struggled madly and tried to get out of the door and the fight was on. It happened so fast. We began twisting around and around. During one of the twists，the suspect turned，caught my uniform shirt and pushed me right into one of the glass windows. I somewhat sat down on the window frame so I was half in the store and half outside，still holding onto the suspect and my partner got hold of the suspect from behind. Suddenly，all of the glass from the massive window began falling，hitting me directly in the back of the head，neck，and shoulders.I felt as if glass was falling forever but finally，there was silence. I looked around and saw a lot of blood everywhere. The suspects face was cut open to the bone bleeding. I handcuffed (上手铐) him，sat him down there，and asked the dispatcher to send an ambulance.“Are you alright？”I asked my partner who was holding his right hand together.“Im cut pretty bad，”he said. “What about you？You were in the window and all the glass was falling on top of you.I thought your head was going to get cut off.”“Me？”I started to check myself nervously looking at each arm，leg and feeling around my head and neck. “Im good. Not one scratch.” I turned and took a sigh of relief，smiled.64The author and his partner drove their car with the windows down to _.Alet the fresh air in Bcatch the call signalsClisten to the street speakers carefully Dhear whether there were unusual sounds65Who was/were badly injured in the fighting?The suspectThe authorThe authors partnerA B C D66From the passage we can infer that _.Athe suspect would be taken to hospital laterBthe suspect would be put into prison immediatelyCthe author felt nervous for his partner might die from bleedingDthe author felt relieved for he finished the tough task eventuallyDAfter 859 days and 6,000 miles，British explorer Ed Stafford became the first man to walk the entire length of the Amazon. He started in Peru，and finished his adventure as he reached the Maruda beach in Brazil.Mr. Stafford dropped at the side of the road a few hours before reaching his final destination. But he just stood up and made it to the Maruda beach on Brazils northern coast，accompanied by Sanchez Rivera,31，who had been his partner during the last five months of the whole journey.Mr. Stafford，who always knew that it was possible to walk along the Amazon，said，“It had been quite a hard journey but I just couldnt consider giving up.” Although the Amazon measures 4,000 miles，he had to walk an extra 2,000 miles up and down mountains and through forests to accomplish it.He began on April 2,2008，with walking partner Luke Collyer,37，an instructor of outdoor activities. But before three months were out，the pair had a quarrel. They parted and Mr.Collyer returned to the UK. Mr. Stafford advertised for a new walking partner and was joined by Sanchez Rivera. The pair made their way through Peru，Colombia and Brazil. In Peru，Mr. Stafford and his partner had been put into prison as murder suspects. They were set free after 48 hours.After arriving at the destination，Mr. Stafford said，“All I want now are a fish dish and a nice cold beer.”Ranulph Fiennes，the worlds leading explorer，spoke of Staffords achievement，“One of the most impressive aspects of his performance throughout this hard journey is Mr.Staffords great determination to succeed. On an almost daily basis，he must have faced difficulties which would hold most people back. The strong will like his is truly needed by anyone who wants to succeed.”67Where did Mr. Stafford fall down due to exhaustion?AIn Brazil. BIn Colombia. CIn Peru. DIn Britain.68According to the passage，Mr. Stafford began the adventure _.Ain a hurry Bout of curiosity Cwith confidence Dregardless of the cost69How long did Mr. Stafford walk alone in the adventure?AMore than 5 months.
