题目内容

It'll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends, Susie. I still cannot decide what to give her. She's a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to. I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems. I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.

It's more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school. I joined the theater group and she was a director then. At first I thought she was intimidating but in the end I realized that she needed to keep a strict image in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously. And then during practice I got a chance to know her better. In fact, she was a friendly and warm-hearted person. Soon we become good friends.

I don't know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything. So it's really hard to buy her a gift she will like. This year I want something different and special but I don't know what to give. One day I searched the internet without any purpose and to my surprise there is a really lovely site where you can buy all kinds of gifts.

I scanned（浏览）some of their items and I found cool and exciting gifts. I chose a special personalized bracelet（手镯）. I'm sure that this will look perfect on her. I put our arms as part of the design of the bracelet so that it'll remind us that we'll forever be friends. I can't wait to give her my gift but I won't tell her yet. I don't want to destroy the surprise.

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today-and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”

A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect other students.

Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”

“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”

“Oh, sure.”

“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”

“Nobody. I do it.”

“Really — at night, when you’re asleep?”

“Sure.”

“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”

1.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.

A. make the lessons more exciting

B. know more about the students

C. raise the students’ interest in art

D. teach the students about toy design

2.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. He liked to help his teacher.

B. He preferred to study alone.

C. He was imaginative.

D. He was active in class.

3.What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Mistake B. Difficulty C. Drawback D. Burden

4.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?

A. To help them to see their creativity.

B. To find out about their sleeping habits.

C. To help them to improve their memory.

D. To find out about their ways of thinking.

Who is a great person? To answer this question, we often think of someone , such as the South Africa hero Nelson Mandela or the NBA basketball star Kobe Bryant. But often a great person is next to us—but we never see the greatness unless a difficult comes up.

In May, 2008, a high school girl in Beichuan, Sichuan, a hero just next to her. When the earthquake hit, her school on top of the students. Just next to her was her classmate Li Anqiang. Li worked to move rocks to make for her. Before rescuers reached them, , aftershocks brought down rubble(碎石) around them. Li’s earlier efforts kept his classmate from danger, but the new rubble that fell on his legs crushed (压碎) them beyond .

Today, Li is in a wheelchair; he is missing both of his legs, but he is not missing the good that made him a hero during the earthquake. He still the sports he played before the earthquake, table tennis and basketball—and still his hero, Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant, however, considers Li a hero. In reply to Li’s letter, Kobe praised Li as “a strong boy whose attitude toward was amazing”. He encouraged Li in his love of basketball, telling Li that he looked cool in a photo of his a basketball from his wheelchair.

So that we have great people next to us every day—in school, at work, on the bus. There may not be a to show us who they are, but we can be sure they are . Who knows? you are one yourself.
