Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide.

"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.

Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:

It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.

Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.

I genuinely love teenagers.

I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.

Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.

41. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?

A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.

B. Because the writer was insincere.

C. Because the student was naughty.

D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.

42. What do you think of the writer?

A. Stupid. B. Honest. C. Conservative. D. Polite.

43. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.

B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.

C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.

D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.

44. We can infer from the text that _________.

A. the writer was also a good teacher in school

B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond

C. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students

D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home

45. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. A student’s silly question. B. A good teacher who likes students.

C. A confused student. D. The reason why I teach.

"Where is the bus?" I asked myself. I was going to be late and the manager wasn't going to be pleased." Thank God, here it is!" The bus 31 (come) round the corner and I got on. Ten minutes later I was walking into the bank where I work," Twenty-five past nine, I hope the manager doesn't notice. "But no such luck!

"Smith!" shouted the manager." Late again. What's your excuse this time?" "I'm afraid the bus is late, Mr Brown."" Get up 32 (early) tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter(柜台).We'll be opening in a few minutes."

My first customer(顾客)was a pretty girl 33 (wear) a red dress. Behind her was a young man of about 25.He seemed very nervous, and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl asked about ___34____(open) a bank account (帐户).I gave her the necessary information and she walked out. Then, I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something 35 (cover) with brown paper. Turning to my next customer, I was terrified to see a gun stuck out of his coat. The next moment a loud noise filled my ears. Everything went black. I was falling… __36__ what seemed a very long time, I opened my eyes and found 37_ (me) －in bed! Still shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house. As usual, the bus wasn't on time, and I got to the bank at 9:25.

"Smith!" the manager cried out in __38__ voice like thunder." None of your excuses! Go start work at once!" ___39___ my surprise, the first customer was a girl 40 a red dress and behind her stood a man carrying something wrapped in brown paper. The dream! Wasn't that the surprise of my life!

Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and

It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.

There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!

The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about mine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children ad young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors(祖先) ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.

If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.

Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?

A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s

B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.

C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.

D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.

What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?

A. Women prefer doing many things at a time.

B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.

C. Women do not need to tell directions.

D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.

Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?

A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.

B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills

C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.

D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.

What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?

When we say that Cambridge is a university town, we do not mean just that it is a town with a university in it. Manchester and Milan have universities, but we do not call them university towns. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, pubs, market-place and so on, but most of it is university-colleges, faculties, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops, cafes, banks, and churches, making these as well part of the university.,

The town was there first. Two Roman roads crossed there, and there are signs of building before Roman times (earlier than A.D. 43). Cambridge became a center of learning, and the authority of the head of the university was recognized by the king in 1226.

With about 8,250 undergraduates and over2,000 postgraduates, the city is a busy place in “full term” .Undergraduates are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures. Your bicycle must go through a boiling sea of other bicycles hurrying in all directions, if you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of full term, you know that you are in a university town.

What is called a university town?

A town with a university in it

B. A university with a town in it.

C. One where there is no clear separation between a university and a town.

One where there are both a university and a town.

How many students does Cambridge have?

Eight thousand, two hundred and fifty. B. Two thousand.

C. Ten thousand. D. More than ten thousand.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

the university is all over the town

the town came earlier than the university

C. during the five minutes between lectures, your bicycle must go through other bicycles hurrying in all directions.

D. the teachers have many strange ways of making their lectures lively and interesting.

What’s the title of the passage?

Cambridge—A University Town. B. Cambridge – A Centre of Learning

C. Cambridge with Many Students. D. Cambridge with a Long History
