“You must be mad！” said my friends. “Giving up your job now， when there isn't much chance of finding another one， ever！”
But I had already come to my lonely decision. To wake up in the morning with a sense of fear， to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then to set off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual， and I had turned to tranquilizers(鎮(zhèn)定劑) to help me along.
It hadn't always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed quite well.
I， in common with most other teachers， am rather self­critical， and I knew now I was no longer “managing”.My classes were noisy， the children were not learning very much， and my attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague(含糊的) “Hello， Miss”， and carry on. I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was time to stop.
Was it all my own failure？ In fairness to myself， I don't think it was. I had plenty of ideas， I loved my subject， and I liked children.
I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored children， over­stimulated(刺激)by video­watching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were given the wrong food at the wrong time， who came without breakfast to school and then stuffed themselves with gum and chocolates bought on the way； who were “high” with hunger in class and talked restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting (漂) to all floors.
I had been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible， but I had failed， and no longer had the stomach for the job.
64.The reason why the writer decided to give up her job was probably that　　　　.
A.teaching children wasn't challenging
B.she took no pride in her work
C.teaching had become too much for her
D.she disliked the new teaching method
65.“My very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence” means“　　　　”.
A.I'd very well make some students stop talking simply by standing in the doorway
B.when I came to the doorway， the class would immediately quiet down
C.all the students would become silent on my turning up in the doorway
D.my appearance in the doorway could at least comfort the class
66.The following are all reasons that children couldn't concentrate in class EXCEPT　　　　.
A.they were tired out because they went to bed too late
B.they were burdened with too much homework
C.they were not properly fed by their parents
D.they were over excited by video­watching the night before
67.We can infer from the passage that the writer　　　　.
A.had no love for children at all
B.never truly enjoyed teaching
C.found it difficult to give up her job
D.felt extremely nervous about each coming day

Don’t be surprised when strangers talk to you in Canada! You will find that many Canadians will smile at you as they pass in the street, or say something to you like “Hi!” or “How’s it going?” Just reply with something similar. In the UK the reply would be “I’m fine”, but in Canada they say “I’m good”.
In company, when someone is offering you a second helping of food or more wine, if you don’t want any more, use the same expression— “I’m good”. In this case, it means “No, thank you. I’ve had enough”. Most Canadians don't press you to eat more than you want.
In restaurant, your plate will be cleared away almost immediately you have finished eating. When you go into a shop or store, the shop assistant asks you how you are or if they can help you, it is their way of being friendly and making conversation with the customers.
Canadians eat early and go home early. When you are invited to a Canadian’s home, you may be asked to arrive at 5:30 pm or 6 pm. But guests in Europe don’t expect to arrive until 7:30 pm or 8 pm. Remember to take off your shoes and leave them inside the door without being asked. It’s not a religious custom, but it’s practical. In winter, there can be a lot of snow and dirt on your shoes, once you are in the warm house it melts and falls off, making a mess. Canadians tend to have light colored carpets or hardwood floors.
If you’re invited for dinner, it will be a full sit- down meal. Meat is usually barbecued in the freezing cold of winter. Do take something with you, like a bottle of wine. Arrive on time and don’t stay over 10 pm.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.
“I’m good” can mean you do not need more food in Canada.
B.
In Canada, you will meet strangers in the street saying “Hi” to you.

In a Canadian restaurant, the plates will stay at the table until you leave.
D.
Canadians usually say “I’m good” to answer the greeting of “How’s it going?”
2. If you are invited for dinner in your Canadian friend’s home, ________.
A.
you will have a full sit-down meal
B.
you don’t have to bring any gift for the host
C.
you are expected to arrive at 7:30 or 8 pm
D.
you don’t have to take off your shoes when you enter the room
3. When a Canadian shop assistant says “How are you?” to you, it suggests that _______.
A.
they hope to make friends with you
B.
they want to ask you for help
C.
they are very friendly to customers
D.
they are your good friends
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A.
Canadians like dark colored carpets.
B.
In Canada, meat will not be barbecued even in the cold winter.
C.
You will always be asked to eat more food than you want in Canada.
D.
It is usually rude to stay over 10 pm in your Canadian friend’s home.
5.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.
Some customs in Canada
B.
Dinner party rules in Canada
C.
Studying in Canada
D.

Each year, prizes are presented to adults who make great achievements in art, writing, science, and economics. So why not give awards to kids?
Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996. As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world. The awards the World of Children presents are nicknamed（給……起綽號）the “ Children’s Nobel Prize”.
“You know, children are so important,” Leibowitz, a retired business manager, told me. “ We should have prizes for children if we’re going to have prizes for everything else.”
Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder’s Youth Award for Leadership this year. She is only 13 years old, but she has completed a lot. In 2005, she founded “ RandomKid”. Since then, it has raised more than$10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U.S. and in 19 other countries.
One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school. The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa. In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money to buy water pumps（水泵）.
Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become. She said, “ My first goal was to raise $1million. That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher, and we actually raised $10 million.”
I asked her what advice she would offer to other young people who want to help kids in need. “ Well, I’d say the first thing would be to find an adult and tell them your idea,” Talia said. “ They’re really the people who can help, and from there I think it can just really take off.”
小題1: The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to tell us     .
A．the origin of the Nobe1 Prize
B．the achievements Harry and his wife made
C．how the “ Children’s Nobe1 Prize” was started
D．how Harry and his wife helped kids
小題2:The World of Children presents awards to those who   .
A．help the kids in the U.SB．realize the importance of education
C．raise a lot of money for the poorD．do a lot to help kids in need
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE about Talia?
A．She founded a hospital for 500 kids in Iowa.
B．She offered money to buy water pumps for Africans.
C．She helped teach 300 kids in a school in Cambodia.
D．She built a school for 200 kids in Louisiana.
小題4: What advice is given by Talia to those who want to help kids in need?
A．To ask for an idea from adults.B．To set a higher goal at first.
C．To win help from adults.D．To make an idea become popular.

A frightening example of the sea’s power saw 125,000 people die in 12 different countries last week. The terrible disaster was caused when a great earthquake sent tsunamis breaking into Indian Ocean coastlines. Various areas in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia and East Africa have been destroyed by the huge waves. Whole towns were simply swept aside by the power of the water. Cars, trains and buildings could not remain steady, not to say the people who stood in the way.
The earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale and occurred off the coast of Indonesia. It was recorded as the fifth strongest since 1900. Scientists said the quake was as powerful as a million of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan during the World War II. “This may be the worst natural disaster in recent history because it is affecting so many heavily populated coastal areas.” said Jan Ege-land, a UN official.
Because such waves hardly happen in the Indian Ocean, there is no system in place to warn coastal people who are about to be hit. Tsunami is a Japanese word. They are usually caused by a sudden rise or fall of part of the Earth’s crust under the ocean. Tsunamis often happen in oceans and they are most common in the Pacific.
Tsunamis can be very long, as much as 100 kilometers. They are able to cross entire oceans without losing much energy. One of the most striking facts about tsunamis is that an earthquake on one side of the Pacific Ocean can cause huge waves on the other side.
When the ocean is deep, tsunamis can travel unnoticed at speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour. They can cross the entire ocean in a day or less. The wave may only be a few meters high in the ocean, but when it is near the shore and reaches shallow water, the wave builds up very quickly in height.
61. How many countries were stricken by the terrible disaster?
A. 6.                                   B. 12.                   C. 18.                   D. Not sure.
62. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT __________.
Tsunami is a word taken in from Japanese
Tsunamis are quite common in the Indian Ocean
The earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale
No warning system has been set up to watch tsunamis there
63. We can know from this passage that __________.
the earthquake has been the strongest in the last century
the wave soon becomes higher when it reaches the shore
the atomic bombs were more powerful than the earthquake
tsunamis can cross entire oceans with almost the same energy
64. You’ll see the passage in __________ section of a newspaper most probably.
A. Sports                      B. Health               C. News                D. Culture

SHE dresses in saggy (寬松的) pants and is crazy about the pop star, Rain. Bin Xue is in love with South Korean culture. The 19-year-old from Sichuan Province feels a strong connection with the neighboring country.
"The two nations have a long history of friendship and there are many similarities between them," she said. "But Koreans are iron-willed, and we could learn this quality from them."
Bin is not the only Chinese deeply affected by Korean culture. A recent survey shows that most Chinese teenagers think highly of their eastern neighbor.
However, Koreans do not view the Chinese in the same good light. In a recent survey, only 5.5 per cent of Korean teens thought the Chinese people friendly.
The survey among high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the United States, was conducted in 156 high schools. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned on success, family, their self-identity (自我意識), as well as their opinions about the world at large.
Results showed that most Korean teens gave a low score to the Chinese for patriotism (愛國心), responsibility and honesty. In their eyes, Chinese people are not hard-working and don't obey the rules.
"The result is surprising, but it does reflect a real information gap between teenagers in the two countries," said Lei Li, a psychology professor from the Capital Normal University.
Experts say that Chinese students' positive feelings about South Korea were a result of the booming (繁榮) popularity of Korean pop music. Korean movies and TV series have flooded China. And 73 per cent of the Chinese respondents said they watched Korean TV serials and cartoons.
On the other hand, Lei added, Korean teenagers don't have much access to China. The survey found that only 6.7 per cent of Korean students have ever read Chinese books or news magazines or watch Chinese TV programmes.1
Professor Lei thinks that Chinese teens should give themselves a better basis for appreciating the cultures of their neighbors. It's not enough to simply enjoy their music, TV and fashion sense. "The survey shows that Chinese teens should make friends with their foreign peers . They shouldn't judge other countries by their media alone," said Lei.
Luo Xi'er, 17, from Hunan Province, hopes Chinese people can improve their image. "In my opinion, it is the bad behavior of Chinese tourists which has destroyed our image abroad," she said.
The girl has read several online articles in which Koreans put Chinese tourists' bad manners under the spotlight. "I would like to go to South Korea some day and show them that most Chinese are good-mannered."
1. Most Chinese teenagers think highly of South Korea because _____.
A. they are crazy about pop stars in South Korea
B. Korean people have certain qualities they respect
C. there are many similarities between China and South Korea
D. all of the above
2. Korean teens probably have low opinions of Chinese because ______.
A. they are friendly and iron-willed         B. they don't know much about China
C. they hate Chinese because of historical conflicts
D. they only watch Korean TV serials and cartoons
3. According to professor Lei, ______.
A. Chinese teens should not enjoy the pop music of South Korea
B. Chinese teens should help Korean peers learn more about China
C. we should prevent Korean movies and TV series from flooding in China
D. we should have a better understanding of Korean peers
4. We can infer from the survey _________.
A. Chinese teenagers think highly of South Koreans
B. most Korean teens gave a low score to the Chinese
C. it is necessary to strengthen cultural communications
D. bad behavior of Chinese tourists destroyed our image abroad

The US navy boarded an apparent pirate (海盜) ship in the Indian Ocean and kept 26 men for questioning, the navy said Sunday.
The 16 Indians and 10 Somali men were aboard a traditional dhow (單桅三角帆船) that was chased and seized Saturday by the US guided missile destroyer (驅逐艦) USS Winston Churchill, said Lieut I.eslie Hull-Ryde of US Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain.

The Churchill is part of a muhinational task force patrolling (巡邏) the western Indian Ocean and Horn of Africa region to thwart (阻止) terrorist activity and other lawlessness during the US-led war in Iraq.
The Navy said it captured the dhow in response to a report from the International Maritime (海事的) Bureau in Kuala Lumpur on Friday that said pirates had fired on the MV Delta Ranger, a Bahamian-flagged bulk carrier (貨輪) that was passing some 320 kilometres off the central eastern coast of Somalia.
Hull-Ryde said the navy was still investigating the incident and would discuss with international authorities what to do with the men kept aboard the Churchill.
72. Which of the following statements about the dhow's crew is right?
A. Among them were both lawful and lawless members.
B. Their ship was stopped by the police in the African region.
C. They are all from India.
D. They are pirates attacking merchant ships.
73. "Churchill" in the text is _______.
A. a late UK prime minister                       B. an official of the US navy
C. a military ship                                       D. the title of a military action
74. Which of the following correctly describes how the dhow was captured?
a.Warning shots were fired                    b. Merchant ships were attacked by pirates.
c. The dhow was hijacked,                        d. US sailors boarded the dhow.
A. d-a-b-c       B. c-b-a-d                       C. b-a-d-c          D. a-b-d-c
75. How did the US navy find the dhow?
A. They found the dhow by accident when patrolling the sea.
B. They found the dhow after receiving reports from some merchants.
C. They found the dhow after being informed about it.
D. They found the dhow after receiving messages from the sailors on the dhow
