When entering a room, her entire focus was on me. I felt as if I was the center of her universe-a great feeling. Offering her the same respect, I intently listened to her stories without interrupting; I tried to return that feeling of being truly loved.Even though there was always deep affection flowing between us, She wasnt a softy. She worked hard and expected her children to do the same. I began working in our little corner grocery store by age eight and managed it by the age of twelve. She appreciated my hard work and treated me as an equal. I learned that I could do anything if I tried hard enough. I learned to depend on myself.My mother always supported my decisions, but also shared her concerns. When I decided to retire early from teaching to teach and write a book about etiquette ( 礼仪 ) , she announced her concerns , She worried that there wasnt a market for it-my mother, always the business person. Nevertheless(然而),by the end of our conversation she encouraged me with“With your training and love of people, you are perfect for this. By example, my mother taught me how to show respect for others. She gave me my listening skills, my empathy and my manners. Through her, I learned to be strong, to follow my heart and to work hard. I never give up. If not for this, I wouldnt be a successful business owner and good friend to all.21. What was the authors mother worried about according to Paragraph 3 ?A. The author would lose her job.B.

And yes, its good to get along well with your teachers because, in general, its smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people youll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help.

When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems about learning or school issues.

By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you. However, if a certain teacher isnt your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her, especially if you fulfill your basic responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities.1) Attend class ready to learn. 2) Be prepared for class with the right stationery(文具), books, and completed assignments。3) Listen when your teacher is talking. 4) Do your best, whether its a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.25.

On a trip to New York, Cuddles helped Shaw safely tour Times Square, a very busy part of the city at night.

New York is a magical city DIt doesnt matter if you go running every morning, or youre a regular at the gym. If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting in your car, on your office chair, on your sofa at home - you are putting yourself a risk of obesity, heart diseases, cancers and an early death. In other words, whether you exercise or not, sitting long is bad for you. That, at least, is the finding of several recent studies. Indeed, those who sit the most during the rest of the day have larger waists and worse blood pressure than those who sit less. You burn more energy by standing than you do sitting still in a chair. Thus, a little more time on your feet today and tomorrow can easily make the difference between keeping fit and getting fat. Getting fat is often the effect of a series of small decisions: Do you take the stairs or the elevator? Do you e-mail your friend down the hall or get up and go to see her? When you get home, do you walk about in the garden or sit in front of the television? Do you walk to the corner store, or drive? Some people have found good resolvents (方案) to the sitting problem, change your sit-down desk for a stand-up desk with a slow treadmill so that you walk while you work. Make sure that your television can only operate if you are on an exercise bike. Or, watch television in a rocking chair. You can also choose to jump a lot, if you like.But whatever you choose, know this: your chair is your enemy.32.

If you want to keep fit you had better _A. take the elevator instead of the stairs B. e-mail your friend down the hall C. walk about in the garden D. drive to the corner store 35. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Your chair is your enemy B. Exercise doesnt matter C. Obesity is bad for health. D. Sitting too long can lead to diseases.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Guides on how to prevent hair loss Hair loss is a condition that affects a good number of the human population.
