When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students smiled unkindly,   36   nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be   37  , only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so ashamed I burst into   38  . That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my   39  , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed, “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I  40 success. I’d sold the first thing I’d   41 written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems and letters. By the time I graduated from high school, I had scrapbooks (剪貼簿)  42   my published works. I never   43   my writing to my teachers, friends or my family   44   because they were dream killers.
I had four children at the time.  45   the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months. I chose a   46   and mailed it. A month later I received a contract, an advance on payments, and a request to start   47 another book. Crying Wind, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and sold worldwide. My first book also became  48  reading in native American schools in Canada.
The   49  year I ever had as a writer I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36,000 dollars. People ask what college I   50  , what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I use an electric typewriter that I paid a hundred and twenty nine dollars  51  six years ago. I do all the housework and  52   my writing in a few minutes here and there. I’ve written eight books. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right   53   I’ve succeeded. Writing is   54  , it’s fun and anyone can do it.   55  , a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.

(2010?冀州二模)
“A very disruptive(擾亂型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,”said another. Many people have heard stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born,has the right to achieve their potential,regardless of their parents’ wealth and class.  And we recognize that, as a nation,it is a long way to achieve this goal.But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.
Far too many children are behaving badly at school,even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough,but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table,and unable to use the lavatory properly.  
We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep,has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.         
Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and are willing to learn.
小題1:In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A.The school violence.
B.The pressure of students’ learning.
C.The right to achieve students potential.
D.the responsibilities of the students.
小題2:The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.
A.dissatisfiedB.unconcernC.understandingD.tolerance
小題3: The underlined part in Para. 4 may means__________.
A.parents and children live in their separate rooms
B.parents care little about children’s life at home
C.children don’t live with their parents in the same room
D.a(chǎn)t home children live a different life from that of parents
小題4:What might be most suitable title for the passage?
A.Children’s behavior at school is worrying people
B.Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits
C.There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home
D.Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing

In a surprising discovery about where higher life can survive, scientists have found a shrimp -like creature and a jellyfish swimming beneath an Antarctic ice sheet.
About 180 meters below the ice where no light can get through, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes (微生物) could exist.
That’s why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera’s cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle (觸須) they believe came from a jellyfish.
“We were operating on the presumption that nothing’s there.” said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It was a shrimp you’d enjoy having on your plate.”
“We were just gaga (狂熱的) over it,” he said when talking about the 7.5cm long, orange creature starring in their two-minute video. Technically, it’s not a shrimp. It’s a Lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to the shrimp.
The video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh environments. And it has scientists thinking that if shrimp-like creatures can live below 180 meters of Antarctic ice in freezing dark water, what about other cold places? What about Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter?
Cynan Ellis – Evans, a scientist of the British Antarctic Survey called the finding fascinating. He said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and don’t live there permanently.
But Kim, who is a co-author of the study, doubts it. “The site in West Antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. Bindschadler drilled a 20 cm-wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. That means it’s unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small area,” she said.
“Yet scientists were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. While some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp can’t,” Kim said.
“So how do they survive? That’s the key question.” Kim said.
“It’s pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything.” Kim said.
小題1:. Scientists had believed that harsh environments could only have been populated by ______ .
A.jellyfishB.mammals C.microbesD.shrimp-like creatures
小題2:According to Kim, the shrimp-like creature _________ .
A.swam great distances to AntarcticB.has always lived in the area
C.gradually evolved from shrimpsD.has nothing in common with shrimps
小題3:The finding is significant in that __________.
A.it marks NASA’S first Antarctic biological study
B.it proves there is marine life in the Antarctic
C.it could inspire further study of life in harsh environments
D.it shows that Lyssianasid amphipod is closely related to shrimps
小題4:. The last three paragraphs suggest that __________.
A.researchers will look at the places the creatures came from
B.ice scientists will drill deeper to find more creatures
C.scientists know very little about the planet they live on
D.further research will be done about what the creatures live on

Four hundred years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei became the first person to see the craters(環(huán)形山) on the moon. Galileo was one of the first people to use a telescope to study the sky. Since then, telescopes have become the most important tool used by astronomers. Scientists never stop finding new ways to make these instruments more powerful. In the next several years, two new telescopes with different purposes are to be used.
One of the telescopes, called Pan-STARRS, could save humans from dying out. Nick Kaiser, a scientist who works on the project, says the Pan-STARRS telescope has been designed to find “90 percent of all killer asteroids(小行星) near Earth”.
Pan-STARRS, like most telescopes, uses mirrors and lenses(透鏡) to provide pictures of outer space. Giant mirrors are used to “gather” light. They reflect the light onto the lens of a camera, which can then record the image.
When completed, Pan-STARRS will include four telescopes which will be put on top of a mountain on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Only one telescope is in place and working now. Each telescope will take pictures of one patch of sky for about 30 seconds, and then move on to another patch. Every night, each telescope will take pictures of about 1,000 patches. Every week, each telescope will have photographed the whole sky.
Each of the four telescopes will take pictures of the same patches of sky. One telescope, working alone, may sometimes incorrectly show an asteroid. If there are three other telescopes working, astronomers can use them to see if there really is an asteroid coming our way. By using four telescopes instead of one, scientists hope to get a better picture of space. If a giant asteroid was identified, astronomers would try to break it up long before it reached Earth.
小題1: Galileo Galilei is mentioned to ____________.
A.tell us the history of telescopes
B.introduce the topic of the passage
C.show people his contributions
D.tell us about the craters on the moon
小題2: For what purpose is Pan-STARRS designed?
A.To find more asteroids around Earth.
B.To help scientists know Earth better.
C.To find killer asteroids coming towards Earth.
D.To learn about asteroids in outer space.
小題3:What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The use of mirrors in a telescope.
B.Why Pan-STARRS is different.
C.How telescope “gather” light
D.How a telescope works.
小題4:How many patches is the whole sky divided into when Pan-STARRS is working?
A.1,000B.7,000C.21,000D.28,000
小題5: The four telescopes will take pictures of the same patches of sky because _____.
A.one telescope often takes unclear pictures
B.one telescope may provide incorrect information
C.information from just one telescope is usually incorrect
D.no information is allowed to be identified based on single information
