2.Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents'home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台),I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me.Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon,I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery(电池) was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?"I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.
"Thank you"-two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.

G.The following methods may work best for you.
10.We were extremely poor.We had no house,no food.We had nothing.My parents had many problems.My family was always on the edge of violence.It was unbelievably stressful.There wasn't a moment to relax during my entire childhood.
I wanted to be an artist when I was about six.But my family was so poor that I got knocked off track by the working-class educational system and the environment I was living in.I became a street gang member,causing trouble and fighting against other groups.
Being a teenager with vivid imagination,a strong sense of adventure and some degree of courage,it was attractive to steal cars,drive them away,and get chased by the police.
If I had nothing to do,I would go to evening school to learn painting.I tried to enter one of those art schools,but I was rejected by 11schools when they heard I had been a street gang member.When I was not accepted,I cried a lot.
When I was finally accepted by Croydon College of Art,I felt I was in heaven.I felt that my life had been saved.I worked with great stress that other students found scary,and it scared me too.Unlike other students I could also feel a kind of happiness to do my best to realize my dream.
I went through a long period in my life where my art was not accepted.The only time I almost considered giving up was one morning,about 3a.m.I had an exhibition in New York.I could sell none of my works.I could not afford to live.I was so defeated.I thought maybe I should go somewhere in the middle of America and find a new job,have a car and a house with a garage.That lasted about an hour,but it was such a stressful experience.
Now I'm famous,and I got a lot of my works sold at a pretty high price.I think before one is famous,one has to be infamous,and before one is accepted,one has to be rejected.Painting doesn't explain itself.Painting is not an explanation.Painting doesn't try to teach.Painting is a body of experiences.Painting is called a hard business.One has to have firm beliefs.And I do.One has to have courage to be an artist because one has got to put up with all the insults one has to suffer as an artist.So one has to persist,in other words,to have a little hope.

12.The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past.With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone,writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill.However,while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching,many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.
    Virginia Beminger,professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington,says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
    Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand.The study,published in 2009,found that when writing with a pen and paper,participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
    In a more recent study,Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write."Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary,word meaning and concepts.It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas."Berninger said.
    Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换)"those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,"the study said.Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,says Berninger,but also to spot(发现)spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.
"In our computer age,some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,"she said."But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level,they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer."

46.What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?A
A.The use of new technologies in teaching.

48.Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?B
A.Spelling improves one's memory of words.
B.Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C.Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D.Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
49.What does"mind's eye"in paragraph 5 mean?D
A.Window.
B.Soul.
C.Picture.
D.Imagination.
50.What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?C
A.Computers can help people with their choice of words.
