Whenever he could, Dad took me out to the park and pitched balls for me to hit.One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play. My dad was over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game. The woman explained that her son had polio(小儿麻痹症) and wouldnt be able to get out of the chair. That didnt stop my dad. He placed the bat in the youngsters hand, pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat. Then he yelled out to me, “Anne, pitch one in to us.” I saw the delight in the boys eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly. The ball made contact with the bat with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy. As I turned, I heard my dad singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game.An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy. Dad told the mother to bring the boy back next Saturday and we would play another game. Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came. Twenty years passed, with my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood. Before moving I decided to take one last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments. Two Little League teams were on the field just about to start a game. I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game.“Jeff, protect your base,” one coach yelled. I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield. The coach turned and smiled, “I never thought Id ever be a coach playing on this field. You see, I had polio as a child and was restricted to a wheelchair. Thanks to a mans assistance, I was able to hit the ball and hear him singing the song Take Me Out to the Ball Game. I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again. I hope that some day Ill look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again. I sure would like to thank him.”56. The author was tearful when watching the children playing the game because_. A. she hadnt recovered from the loss of her father B. she was reminded of her father playing with her in the park C. she realized that her father hadnt received thanks from others D. she was moved by the son who became a coach twenty years later57. Which is the right order of the following events? a. The authors father died. b. The author played with the boy. c. The author left the neighborhood. d. The author waited for the boy to turn up. e. The author saw the boy coaching a team.A. d-b-e-a-c B. d-b-e-c-a C. b-d-a-c-e D. b-d-a-e-c 58. The passage conveys the message that _. A. the boy is a miracle B. the authors father is a hero C. a simple act of kindness can change a lifeD. ball games have a great effect on peoples lifeBQuestion: My ninth-grade art teacher doesnt give any grade above 94% because, she says, “Theres always room for improvement.” In previous years, I earned a 99% and a 100%. The 94% I received this term does not reflect the hard work that I put into this course. Because of her “improvement” theory, I got a lower grade than I deserve. Is her grading philosophy morally correct?Answer: Your teachers grading system may be unwise, but it is not morally wrong. A teacher deserves wide latitude in selecting the method of grading that best promotes learning in her classroom; that is, after all, the prime function of grades. It is she who has the training and experience to make this decision.You can criticize her methodology. A 100 need not imply that there is no possibility of improvement, only that a student successfully completed the course work. A ninth grader could get a well-earned 100 in English class but still has a way to go before he writes as well as Jane Austen. Whats more, grades are not only an educational device but are also part of a screening system to help assign（分配） kids to their next class or program. By capping her grades at 94 while most other teachers grade on a scale that tops out at 100, your teacher could risk making a student lose a chance of getting a scholarship or getting into a top college.What it is wrong to condemn her for is overlooking your hard work. Your hard work is worthy of encouragement, but effort does not equal accomplishment. If scholars suddenly discovered that Rembrandt had dashed off The Night Watch in an afternoon, it would still be The Night Watch.I could spend months sweating over my own “paintings”, but Id produce something you wouldnt want to hang in your living room or your garage.One feature of a good grading system is that those measured by it generally regard it as fair and reasonablenot the case here. Strong feeling of anger is seldom an aid to education. And so your next step should be to discuss your concerns with your teacher or the principal. 59. When writing the question, the ninth-grader was _.A. annoyed B. worried C. excited D. delighted60. The underlined word “latitude” in Paragraph 2 probably means _. A. difference B. knowledge C. freedom D. experience61. Rembrandts painting is mentioned to show that _.A. theres difference between effort and achievement B. The Night Watch was completed in half a day C. everybodys hard work should be encouraged D. one is to blame for doing the work in a hurry62. What is the authors attitude towards the grading system of the ninth-graders teacher?A. Supportive. B. Confused. C. Unconcerned. D. Unfavorable. CJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfillthe duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50per cent of the jobs wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional(常规的)part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britains Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.63. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?A. Work sharing requires more working hours. B. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs. C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.D. Work sharing depends on the employers decision.64. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work mainly because _. A. they sought higher social status B. they were over ideal working ages C. they had difficulty finding full-time jobs D. they had to take care of both work and family65. In job sharing the partners should _. A. enjoy equal social status B. have similar work experience C. keep in touch with each other D. know each other very well66. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. describe job sharing in general B. discuss how to provide more jobsC. recommend job sharing to women D. compare job sharing with work sharing CThe Child Ego StateThe Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood. Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someones house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmothers house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back. The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For example, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves. Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive experiences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memories. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen. The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. They are concepts to enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” We may be in our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds us to take responsibility for our actions. 67. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to _.A. prove the Child ego state is negative B. explain why we become nervous C. support the idea in Paragraph 1 D. introduce the point of Paragraph 3 68. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to _. A. blame ourselves B. avoid stress C. keep up with everything D. accept challenges69. According to the passa
