By the third year of teaching I’d begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children. I was teaching fourth grade and my students had made me 36 . I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.

Back into the classroom, they 40 , comparing plans for the 41 . I had to remove one student from each arm 42 I could take a seat at my desk for my morning duties. Before I could find my roll book（点名册） my desk was covered with 43 and gifts followed by a 44 of “Merry Christmas” wishes.

　“Oh, thank you,” I must have 45 a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my 46 mood（情绪）. It was kind of them to 47 me. After a while, I heard a small nervous 48 say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing 49 by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.”

It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my 53 back.

　Later that day, I sat 54 the ornament in my hands. Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I 55 pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.

名校秘题小学毕业升学系统总复习系列答案

　　 Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have name.In Japan,people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Tun left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest,usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings with tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east,and then go another mile.”

　　 People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: They measure distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask.　　“Oh,” they answer, “It's about five minutes from here.”you say, “It's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don't know.

Peop;e in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand thi Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question, What happens in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don't know.” People in Yucatan think that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

　　 One thing will help you everywhere-in Japan, in the United States in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place. You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go iin that direction, and you may find the post office!

1.The passage mainly tells us that_______.

A.never carry a map for travel

B.there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest

C.there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world

D.New Yorkers often say, “I have no idea,” but people in Yucatan, Mexico, never say this

2.In which place do people tell distance by means of time?

A.Japan.

B.American Midwest.

C.Los Angeles,California.

D.Greece

3.In the passage,_______countries are mentioned by the writer.

A.seven　　　　 B.four　　　　C.eight　　　　 D.five

4.Which of the following is wrong?

A.Travelers can learn about people's customs by asking questions about directions.

B.A person's body language can help you understand directions.

C.People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions by means of time.

D.People in different places always give directions in the same way: They usr street namees.
