I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.

Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate (準(zhǔn)確的) when he stood up. Could he be more intent (專(zhuān)心的) while standing up?

This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline (紀(jì)律) to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.www.zxxk.com

Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits (特點(diǎn)) and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheer leaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.

I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual (個(gè)人的) and unique (獨(dú)一無(wú)二的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.

1.At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him _____.

A. pay more attention to his study          B. keep silent in the room

C. finish his homework on time               D. get right answers

2.Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.

A. the importance of parents

B. the old form of education

C. the relationship between kids and their parents

D. the good grades of some kids

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?

A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.

B. Parents should study their kids’ DNA.

C. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.

D. Parents should love and accept their kids.

4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. Study hard and you’ll be successful

B. Be friendly to your children

C. Children’s success in their own style

試題分析:文章大意:作者通過(guò)輔導(dǎo)孩子寫(xiě)作業(yè)的經(jīng)歷意識(shí)到用傳統(tǒng)的教育方式約束孩子已不再適用,父母應(yīng)該引導(dǎo)和幫助孩子找到適合他們自身的學(xué)習(xí)方法,培養(yǎng)獨(dú)特個(gè)性,進(jìn)而獲得成功。

1.A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段前半部分中的“I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better”可知作者讓兒子坐下來(lái)是想讓他更專(zhuān)心地學(xué)習(xí)。

2.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。結(jié)合第三段的內(nèi)容可推斷作者開(kāi)始懷疑傳統(tǒng)教育方式。

3.D 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段的We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations.判斷D正確。

4.C 概括題。文章第一段開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山地提出了本文的主題,如果孩子得到了認(rèn)同,就能學(xué)會(huì)自愛(ài)并用自己的方式取得成功,所以C項(xiàng)最能概括文章大意。

One morning, a young man leading a goat lost his way due to the thick mist.Then he met a blind man and asked whether he also lost his way.The blind man said, “I cannot see anything.Therefore, the mist doesn’t affect me.I followed the path in my memory and it never goes wrong.”

Happily the young man led the goat following him forward.The blind man asked where he was going.He said he wanted to sell his goat.“Male or female? How many years have you kept it?” The young man spoke without too much thought, “A female goat of 3 years!”

The young man was still following the blind man when he was grasped the hand by the blind man.He shouted ,“Here is the police station! Go into it and elaborate on how you stole the goat!”

The young man had been a thief for a long time and admitted the goat was stolen by him.He asked the blind man puzzlingly, “But how do you know I am a thief?”

The blind man smiled, “I have been keeping goats for decades and can tell one of them is male or female as well as their age according to their voices.The goat you led just now is obviously a male goat, but you said female.The goat is simply a little more than one year old, but you said you had kept it for three years.Moreover, the goat will bleat totally differently when he is led by a stranger instead of his owner.So I can tell the goat does not belong to you!” Only then did the thief understand the whole thing with his head dropped down.

       A.he didn’t lead a goat

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題,每題2分,滿(mǎn)分40分)
A
It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said . “Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life.” At my inquiry, he answered, “Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.”
As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague’s words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn’t the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.
A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades. I found a note a student ahd slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for beign her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class—not about math, but about life—would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.
Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication and a deeper sense of satisfaction – I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.
56. How did the author feel when he heard his colleague’s description of graduation for the first time?
A. He quite agreed with his colleague.        B. He was very puzzled.
C. He thought it very funny.                D. He was very sad.
57. The computer science student called up the author because he ___________.
A. wanted to inform the author of his present job
B. thought the author wasn’t fit to be a teacher
C. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
D. tried to persuade the author to work with him
58. What does the underlined part “blue hats and gowns” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. University colleagues                B. Life memories.
C. Graduates’ clothes.                  D. Decorations in the hall.
59. The author wrote the passage to _________.
A. express his devotion to being a teacher    B. compare two different graduation ceremonies
C. talk about the meaning of graduation      D. give-advice on how to be a good teacher

How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never found the time? Far too many.

This is life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal(排演)and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.

We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for real life to come along were in fact real life.

  In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English: “Have a nice day”. They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day .

  How often do we say to ourselves  “I’ll take up horse-riding( or golf, or sailing) as soon as I get a higher position,” only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position.

  When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job at the Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by what appeared to me to be completely abnormal(反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area? I wanted to know.

  Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains.

1. The first paragraph of the passage tells us that ___________.

     A. we always try to find some time to write a book

     B. we always make plans but seldom fulfill them

     C. we always enjoy many of life's best moments

     D. we always do what we really want to do

2. The underlined phrase "turn his back on"  most probably means________.

     A. leave for        B. return to         C. give up         D. rely on

3. The man left his first job partly because he was _________ .

     A. in an abnormal mental state         B. under too much pressure

     C. not well paid                    D. not respected

4. What is probably the best title for the passage?

     A. Provide Homes For Our Family     B. Take Up Horse-riding

     C. Value This Very Day              D. Stay Alive
