23、lacing your regular teacher, she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. “i will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months.the children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected.“come on, someone say something, she thought nervously. the childre

24、n were too quiet.“this probably wont last long, she thought, smiling kindly at them. grade three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. “if you have problems, please come to me. i will help you.the children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke.“how can i get th

25、em to accept me? she wondered. suddenly, she had an idea.“your first homework will be to write a new song. to make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for valentines day. the winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party.the children looked amazed

26、, but pleased.“you may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrument.as if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly.“a love song? a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher. “we each have to write one, said a dark haired girl, “we never ha

27、d to do that before.“and perform it too! a red haired boy responded, laughing aloud. “i love it! me, sing a love song? “want to know what the first prize will be?immediately, every hand in the room went up.mrs. murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica口琴.“what do you think of this?

28、she waited.“i am also a music teacher, so i will be able to help you write your new love songs. added mrs. murray, smiling at her new students. obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class. 56. the children remained silent at the beginning because

29、 _.they missed their former teacherthey were surprised at the situation they didnt know the teachers namethey were not allowed to speak in class57. we can learn from the passage that _. children in the class liked to write their own love songsmost children in the class were good at performing musici

30、t was the prize that made the students accept their new teacherthe students in this class are not as active as other grade three students58. which of the following words can best describe mrs. murray?kind and curious. helpful and clever.faithful and honest.patient and humorous. b why do so many of u

31、s watch birds with great interest? perhaps the easiest answer is that birds seem to be the commonest, most attractive and easiest observed wildlife around us. no matter where you are, at home, on a mountain-top, in mid-ocean or deep in a city, there are birds around for you to watch. when you go bir

32、dwatching, you should always make sure that your clothes are suitable for the weather and for the habitat you are visiting. as a general rule, it is better to pack a little too much clothing than risk getting cold and wet. in really hot weather, a hat of some sort is sensible. for cooler weather, a

33、practical outfit would be jeans, a roll-neck sweater. dont worry about the equipment while birdwatching. it is perfectly possible to see and enjoy birds without any special equipment, but a whole new world opens up to you once you have your first binoculars. distant birds stop being little dots agai

34、nst the sky or water, and take on shapes and colours, and feathers of bird will have a real beauty of their own. binoculars allow you to identify birds correctly, and give you a wonderful chance to spy on them going about their daily lives. however, never look directly at the sun using binocular, be

35、cause direct sunlight can hurt the eye. using binoculars is one way to bring birds closer to you, but another way of improving your birdwatching is to get nearer to them. if wild creatures dont know you are close to them, they will continue to behave naturally, and perhaps pass close by you. fortuna

36、tely, birds have no sense of smell-so we dont have to worry about the wind blowing our scent to them and frightening them. but all birds have good eyesight, much better than ours. birds also have good hearing: their lives and their ability to find food depend on these senses. so what does the birdwa

37、tcher need to do? always move about quietly, do not give the birds advance warning of your arrival or they will move away. do your best to avoid sudden movement. always remember to put the birds interests first. when you have finished looking, dont just stand up and walk away, scaring birds in all d

38、irections. 59. the underlined word “binoculars refers to _. something that can protect your eyesglasses used for looking at distant objectbooks on birds of different shapes and coloursspecial equipment for birdwatcher to keep warm60. why does the birdwatcher have to move quietly? because birds dont

39、like to make any noise.because birds are unable to see slow movement.because birds can smell mans scent if he moves quickly. because birds may hear the sound of the sudden movement. 61. according to the passage, what does a birdwatcher need to do?keep a certain distance from birdsbring a little more

40、 clothes with himbehave naturally while watching birdstake interest in the birds he is watchingc a person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. he may have the idea that he is not capable (能胜任的) of it. a child may think he is stupid because he does not understand

41、 how to make the most of his mental faculties(机能), or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate(评价) of his ability. older people may be handicapped(阻碍) by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age. a person who believes that he is incapable

42、will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. he won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. he is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. alfred adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which shows thi

43、s. when he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. his teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. in this way, they too developed the idea, “isn't it too bad that alfred c

44、an't do arithmetic？ he accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try，and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected. one day adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. this gave him confidence. he rejec

45、ted (refused) the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. his newfound confidence encouraged him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. he now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic.

46、this experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.62why might a pe

47、rson be prevented from doing good work? _.a. because he thinks he is old enough to make the most of his mental facilitiesb. because he accepts another person's mistaken estimate of his abilityc. because he has the idea that he is incapable of doing everythingd. because he believes in what other

48、people think of him63a person who believes in his low ability will _.a. spare no efforts to do things b. fail to go at a job but never lose heartc. change to learn other course instead of mathematics d. show complete lack of confidence64as a boy, alfred adler was poor at arithmetic because _.a. he l

49、ost his self-confidence b. he was weak in thinkingc. his parents expected too much of him d. his teacher had no confidence in herself65which of the following is the most important factor to alder's success？_a. spirit and experience b. interest and self-respectc. confidence and determination d. p

50、urpose and knowledge66alder's experience made him realize that _.a. people are not as capable as they think b. people can be more capable than they thinkc. lack of confidence leads to failure d. lack of ability results in lack of determination dscientists have tried to come up with biological ex

51、planations for the difference between boys and girls.however, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. as one scientist points out, “there are slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. but the difficulty is that

52、 by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they've been brought up to think of these subjects as boys' territory.statistics(统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, gir

53、ls are equal to boys. a recent report suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes. one of the reports' authors says, “while it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are hope-less

54、at maths. our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as good as the boys', they have not been encouraged to do so.the explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. from their first days in nursery s

55、chool, girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. for example, boys but not girls, are often asked to help with repair work. this encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. evidence shows that exceptional mathematician
