I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And   36    otherwise assignen(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always    37   to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this    38    after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy   39    because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the   40   to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “   41   for  it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.

Getting up t he courage to go to the tryouts was only the    42   of it! When I first started  43   

the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much    44  what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get     45    and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.   46    , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to    47     on learning the game, do my best at each prctice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t    48   “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the   49   and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and moticating. Very soon the competitive   50   in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the   51     — friends who respect my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my    52    self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from   “53”   in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,   54  

raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent   55   I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter(痛苦的) about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?

A.He was silent most of the time.             B.He was too proud of himself.

C.He did not love his children.               D.He expected too much of her.

2.When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel         .

A.nervous          B.sorry             C.tired             D.safe

3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A.More critical.                          B.More talkative

C.Gentle and friendly.                      D.Strict and hard-working.

4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to         .

A.the author’s son                       B.the author’s father

C.the friend of the author’s father           D.the café owner

 

下面文章中有4处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D和E)中选出符合各段意思的小标题, 选项中有一项是多余选项。

Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence

Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus.  

Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.

1. __________-This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.

When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

Exercise- I used to think that I'd learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated(精力充沛)and can concentrate more easily.

2. __________-Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren't mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.

3. __________-Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You'll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic(无精打采)and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity(敏锐)all day.

If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.

4. __________-Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what's important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.

Conclusion-I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I've proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.

 

Every country has its own culture.

Even though each country uses doors, doors may have   50  functions and purposes which lead to   51  differences.

When I first came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different   52  and they had distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word “ PUSH ” to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word “PULL” to   53  the building. This was new to me, because we use the      54  door in South Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.

The way of using school bus doors was also   55  to me. I used to take the school bus to school. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back door. Students who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on   56  in South Korea. We do not need to wait for people to  57 . One morning I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I  58  tried to get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me. I was totally   59 , and my face went red.
