In 2002, when my father was transferred(調(diào)動(dòng))to the US to work there for seven months,

I had to attend school there, so I was upset. How would I, an eight-year-old girl from India, make

Friends in America?

On my first day at Anna Silver Public School, I Miss Alice McNally, my class teacher, who couldn’t get my name --- although she tried hard, she usually called me Diya or Diva instead of Divya. But she to speak to me in a way that was easy for me---slowly,   words clearly---to get me used to the American . When discovering that I enjoyed , she took me to meet the art teacher. Miss McNally made sure that I was in perfect harmony with her class, and I had as much as any schoolgirl could have from school.

When my father was transferred back to India, I had to Anna Silver Public School. I was going to leave before a scheduled fishing trip, and I’d the class photo session(集會(huì)) too. Therefore, with a heavy heart, I left my school and the US. Back in Kerala, I received a

Surprise one day---a package in which Miss McNally and my twenty-four former classmates had written me a letter each, me about the fishing trip and interesting things that happened while taking the class photo. Miss McNally added, “Keep up with your drawing, since you love it so much.” Miss McNally not only made a little girl feel at home in a faraway country, but also taught me and the others, at an early age, the importance of being kind to others.

試題分析: 在本文中作者通過(guò)講述自己童年時(shí)代的一段經(jīng)歷，回憶了一位給自己帶來(lái)很大影響的老師。當(dāng)作者的父親因工作原因調(diào)到美國(guó)的時(shí)候，作者也隨父親一起來(lái)到了這個(gè)陌生的國(guó)度，是Miss McNally老師用心地照顧她，使她在小小的年紀(jì)就知道了對(duì)人友善的重要性。

1. A. recognized認(rèn)出，認(rèn)可；B. puzzled迷惑；C. met遇到；D. hurt傷害，疼。根據(jù)上文可知當(dāng)作者來(lái)到一個(gè)新的學(xué)校，所以是遇到了Miss Alice McNally，答案選C。

2. 形容詞辨析。A. right 正確的，右邊的；B. smart 聰明的； C. brief簡(jiǎn)潔的； D. similar相似的。根據(jù)下文she usually called me Diya or Diva instead of Divya.可知老師叫不對(duì)作者的名字，get sth right“徹底搞清楚”，故選A。

3. A. took over接管；B. took care 照顧，小心；C. took back拿回；D. took control控制。根據(jù)空后面內(nèi)容可知老師為了讓她能聽清楚，說(shuō)話速度很慢，由此判斷老師對(duì)作者很關(guān)照，take care to do sth 意思是“格外用心地做某事”，故答案選B。

4. A. spelling拼寫； B. shouting喊；C. saying說(shuō)；D. writing寫。由空前內(nèi)容speak to me可以判斷此處指老師和作者說(shuō)話，答案選C。

6. 名詞辨析。A. drawing畫畫；B. music音樂(lè)；C. advertising廣告；D. sports運(yùn)動(dòng)。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容Keep up with your drawing,可知作者是喜歡畫畫，答案選A。

7.A. fun樂(lè)趣； B. luck 幸運(yùn)； C. patience 耐心；D. pride驕傲。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境判斷喜歡畫畫的作者被老師介紹到美術(shù)班，所以她從中獲得了很多的樂(lè)趣，選A。

8. A. disturb 擾亂；B. leave 離開； C. choose選擇； D. begin開始。根據(jù)前句內(nèi)容可知父親要調(diào)回印度了，所以作者也不得不離開美國(guó)，選B.

9. A. support支持； B. enjoy欣賞；C. plan 計(jì)劃；D. miss想念，錯(cuò)過(guò)。根據(jù)前句I was going to leave before a scheduled fishing trip,可知作者沒(méi)能參加計(jì)劃好的釣魚活動(dòng)，再由后面的too判斷，她也沒(méi)能參加攝影集會(huì)，故答案選D。

10. A. lasting持久的； B. mild 溫和的；C. hopeful有希望的；D. pleasant愉快的。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知作者收到了老師和同學(xué)們郵寄來(lái)的照片和信，這對(duì)失落的作者是一個(gè)很大的驚喜，選D。

11.A. advising建議；B. teaching教；C. telling告訴； D. asking問(wèn)。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此處是講同學(xué)們?cè)谛胖懈嬖V作者的內(nèi)容，故答案選C。

Commander was my parents` cat but I knew him first. In fact, Commander was my college roommate`s cat. My roommate wanted to sell Commander, but no one would buy him. I called my parents to see if they would like to adopt him. My mom had always loved cats but my dad disliked cats very much. As predicted my dad said, “No way. No cats” Fortunately for me, my dad was out of town at a math conference. So I brought Commander home. By the time he returned, both my mom and Commander had decided that Commander was going to stay.

By the time I came home that summer, I was surprised to see my dad carrying Commander around the house. Over the years, my parents` love for Commander grew to the point where they could not imagine life without him.

Once I finished college, my parents built their dream house and they named the floor plan（平面圖） The Commander! They worked with the architect to design the house so that it was perfectly suited both for them and for Commander.

Commander died at the age of eighteen. My mom still talks about him often and misses him, and so does my dad, which proves that not even the most determined cat-hating human being in the world can resist the charms(魅力)of a cat once the cat decides he is moving in to your heart.

Ideally speaking, criticism(批評(píng)) is the act of making comments on someone or something with the purpose of improving products or service. However in daily life, you will meet some people criticizing with the negative purposes,

What should you do when you are being criticized? Actually, you should take it positively. It is possible that the person who criticizes you has rightly drawn your attention to something which needs improving. If this is the case, be thankful to the person because he is helping you to know where to improve.

However, there is also a chance that the criticism is being done just to make you sad. So if necessary, ask one of your friends or workmates what he thinks of this criticism. If the criticism is really meant to hurt you, pay no attention to it and don’t allow it to disturb your peace of mind.

When you are criticizing someone or something, always remember that negative criticism causes negative energy, so try to criticize in a positive manner. Do not become the “full stop” for someone’s creativity

Whenever you are about to criticize, ask yourself whether your purpose is to help the person or if you are just going to spread negativity which will damage someone’s creative skills.

If you really want to criticize someone, do it in an encouraging way. Try to give your comments in this way so that he can put your suggestions into corrective(改正的) actions. What’s more, you should remember the fact that complaining is taking criticism to the next level which is even more damaging and dangerous. So try to remain inside the limits of criticism instead of complaining.
