Having taught in 36 for seventeen years, I had no 37 about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my 38 for the literature of my mother tongue. As I entered the room, I was 39 when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat 40 about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly 41 my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect perhaps 42 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement. I asked my students to keep 43 as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 44 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. 45 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 46 theme. “Didnt I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 47 for all the works well study in class,” I complained. “How 48 they say I didnt teach them anything?” It was a long term, and it 49 became clear that my ideas about 50 were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teachers job was to raise 51 questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions. My students thought a teachers job was to provide 53 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference! 54 , I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 55 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture. 36. A. England B. America C.

As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the universitys Writers Workshop, however, she felt lonelya Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice.”“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didnt think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! Thats when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldnt write about.”Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a childrens book, and a short-story collection.56. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A. She had seven brothers. B. She felt herself a nobody.C. She was too shy to go to school. D. She did not have any good teachers.57. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _. A. develop her writing style B. run away from her family C. make a lot of friends D. search for a husband58. According to Cisneros, what was the key factor in her success? A. Her early years in college. B. Her training in the Workshop. C. Her childhood experience D. Her feeling of being different.59. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street? A. It is quite popular among students. B. It is a book of poetry written by Cisneros. C. It wasnt a success as it was written in Spanish. D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.BHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will get you a long-term hurt regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas:1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating（孤立的）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers？ I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？ This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a smaller setting where youll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid? Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this. Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. Ive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.60. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. You may ignore your skills when you select job. B. Job skills are the most important things when you select job. C. There are more important things than job skills when you select job. D. Selecting job, you should assess your skills and match them with the position. 61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad. B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily. C. Extreme people tend to work with others. D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.62. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?A. DesignB. ChangesC. CooperationD. HobbiesSkillsJobs Environment MotivationStability ?63.What is the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job Pay B. Jobs and Environment C. Job Skills and AbilitiesD. Personalities and JobsCTravel UnaccompaniedNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go aloneKristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continentsIn foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel aloneIt is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their ownChris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last yearHe set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-oldRichardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”64. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with? A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone. B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries. C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend. D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.65. Traveling alone is challenging because . A. it will finally build your character B. you have to make things on your own C. you depend on yourself whatever happens D. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others66. What can we infer about Chris Richardson? A. He started traveling at an early age B. He was once shot in the arm. C. His website inspires others a lot. D. He used to work as a salesmanDHappiness through Honorable ActionsDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement. Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue. Kee
