 The students of Grade 12 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood.

                                                                                           

                                                                                           

                                                                                            

                                                                                           

                                                                                          

                                                                                        

 

As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange  26   things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that  27  me so much. There was never total  28 , but a streetlight or passing car lights  29   clothes hung over a chair take on(呈现) the  30  of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my  31 , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no  32 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My  33  would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would  34  very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,  35  on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home .That was no  36 . After school,  37 , when all the buses were  38  up along the street, I was afraid that I’d get on the wrong one and be taken to some  39  neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my 40 .

Perhaps one of the worst fears  41  all I had as a child was that of not being liked or  42  by others. Being popular was so important to me  43 , and the fear of not being liked was a  44  one.

One of the processes(过程) of growing up is being able to  45  and overcome(克服) our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

Mom was a teacher most of her life. When she wasn’t in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren: correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies, flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent “Book of the Month Club” topic. Mom made learning fun.

It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her ailing in her later years. At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.

Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for the staff to lift her limp body back into bed, Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.

After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side.

“Whirr,” she said weakly.

“Where?” I asked. “Mom, is there something you want?” “Whirr,” she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.

Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could muster said, “Not was, say were!”

It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. “If it was up to me…”

Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Thanks, Mom,” he whispered. We smiled at each other and once again shook our heads…this time in awe of a remarkable teacher.

44.When Mom said, “Whirr”, what did she really want to do?

A. She wanted to tell her sons her will.

B. She wanted to have something to eat before she died.

C. She wanted to correct the mistakes Jim made while talking.

D. She wanted to teach her sons more because she was dying.

45. Which of the following statements is NOT right?

A.    Mom was a good teacher and never wanted to stop her teaching.

B.    Mom was always making her teaching fun.

C.    Mom didn’t forget her teaching until she died.

D.    Mom was no longer a teacher when she was at home.

46. What does the writer think of his mother?

A.    He loved her but was tired of his mother’s teaching at home.

B.    His mother should forget her teaching and enjoyed the rest of her life.

C.    His mother was great because she devoted herself to teaching.

D.    His mother was an excellent teacher before she was retired.

47. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. Once a teacher, always…  B. Mom’s will  C. A teacher’s life  D. A teacher’s devotion
