When Nancy Lubin got $5,000 from her great-grandfather, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans with it.  36 , the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about the clothing  37  faced by the typical low-income woman：“If she goes for a job interview  38  dressed, she won’t get the job.” Lubin says，“But without a job, she can’t  39  good clothing.”

（2010?江蘇模擬）
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today：Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger pay-check…
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to existinstead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, and something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

“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．dissatisfied

B．unconcern

C．understanding

D．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

A twenty-nine-year-old kindergarten teacher from Maryland was named National Teacher of the Year in 2006. On June first she would begin a year as a national and international spokeswoman for education.
Kimberly Oliver was the first National Teacher of the Year from her state. She taught five-year-old children at a public school in Maryland, near Washington, D.C. President Bush honored her and other top teachers at the White House.
Kimberly Oliver said she wanted people to understand that the first several years of a child’s life were the most important for learning. She said investing in children at a very young age would result in great gains later in school and in life. She called on parents to read to children from an early age so they would not fall behind in school. One of the activities at her school was an event called “ Books and Supprer Night ”. Families read together at the school and received free books to take home. Parents, children and teachers also ate dinner together.

No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash’s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament（錦標(biāo)賽）last summer in Wisconsin, US.
The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “Count your clubs,” he told the teenager.
Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach’s eyes filled with tears.
If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls（假摔以使對(duì)方犯規(guī)）.
Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn’t a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties（處罰）on themselves.
“It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right thing,” said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game’s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”
So even the error had no effect on Zach’s final score—he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do,” he said.   
Then came another tournament. Before teeing off(開球), Zach counted his clubs—four times.
小題1:What can we infer from the text?  

A．A friend put an extra club in Zach’s bag.

B．Zach returned the medal that he had won.

C．Zach’s grandparents encouraged him to play fair.

D．Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.

小題2:According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that ______.

A．honor comes before victory

B．players are superior to coaches

C．referees have to watch each shot

D．players needn't care about medals

小題3: What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

A．One should be praised for not robbing a bank.

B．Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.

C．Little did Bobby care about the penalty.

D．Observing rules demands no praise.

小題4: Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?

A．He remembered the lesson.	B．He lacked self-confidence.
C．He felt a little too nervous.
D．He was no good with numbers.

Winston Churchill once described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery（謎） inside a puzzle”. Observers of Russia in the 21st century could surely say the same of the country’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Born in Leningrad, six months before the death of Stalin, the young Putin experienced a poverty-stricken childhood but received a good education. He developed lifelong interests in judo and spy novels, and first applied to the KGB(蘇聯(lián)國(guó)家安全委員會(huì)) at the age of 17. When they told him to go away and come back with a degree, he completed with an efficiency(效率) that would later serve him well.
Putin used his KGB training, plus his own discipline and common sense, in a series of jobs. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move. Putin won the 2000 presidential election and in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008. 
Due to term limits, Putin was unable to run for a third presidential term. After the victory of  Dmitry Medvedev, in the 2008 presidential elections, he was appointed to be Russia’s Prime Minister.
Putin is regarded as one bringing political stability and re-establishing the rule of law. During his presidency, Russia’s economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)) bounced back, seeing GDP increase by 72%, poverty cut more than half, and average monthly salaries increase from $80 to $640. Analysts have described Putin's economic reforms as impressive. At the same time, his conduct in office has been questioned by political opposition at home, foreign governments, and human rights organizations for leading the Second Chechen War, and for his record on human rights and freedoms.
Whether he wants to drive Russia into a new stage, or believes in the values of its Soviet past, he is determined to put his nation back on its feet. To do this, Vladimir Putin may have to show his true colors sooner rather than later.
小題1: What would be the best title for the text?

A．The Mysterious President of Russia

B．Russia’s High-growth Economy

C．Russia’s Far Past and Near Future

D．The Political Situation in Russia

小題2: Which of the following helps Putin’s success in presidential election?

小題3: What happened in Russia during Putin’s presidency?

A．The number of the poor reduced to 50%.

B．Every Russian enjoyed equal rights.

C．Russia’s economy picked up rapidly.

D．Russian people lived a peaceful life.

A．He gains respect of foreign governments.

B．He always fought for human rights.

C．He ran for president a third time.

D．He is a politician of great achievements.
