   I've started to learn ancient Greek. It doesn't urge you to communicate,only to learn,and I find the early hours of the morning the perfect time for that. I love routine. I wait until 7 am to have tea. At 7:30 I make breakfast. After that,I read the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. 

   I read Marcia every day; it was his philosophy that got me through my son Matthew's 滅 death,four years ago in a motorcycle accident. Aurelius said: ‘What we jESHBlBl cannot bear removes us from life.’

Matthew's death was such a waste. At first I would rather have been dead too,but then I thought: ‘No. I mustn't do less. I must do more!'

   I am what you might call a late developer. I was 40 before I wrote my first novel,62 when I went to university. My husband,Neil,was a talented jazz musician,but at 25 he developed a serious illness,losing his speech and the use of the right side of his body. It was hell for all of us. We were so broke,and we lived on national assistance for ages.

   I wrote my first novel while Neil had his weekly music therapy(疗法) . That 50-minute therapy was all I had. I used to sit in a cafe and write and write while couples had life-and-death quarrels around me. Gratefully,my family supported me in my writing career.

   My daughter Emma gave me War and I loved it so much. Then it hit me: I hadn't read it at all,I'd only read a translation,and I so longed to read the actual words. A kind elderly Russian lady taught me the basics and I joined the Russian language degree course at the University of London. I gained the degree in my sixties and a PhD at 74. People talk about ‘the time of their lives’. Well,that was mine. Don’t!et anyone tell you your memory goes with age. It's there if you want it enough. Gradually I forced it into action — it was such an exciting experience. Oh,the joy of learning.

24. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

   A. Learning. B. Communication.

   C. Having tea. D. Following routine.

25. Shortly after Neil fell ill,the author.

   A. led a difficult life

   B. went to university

   C. quarreled with him

   D. tried to write novels

26. The author decided to learn Russian because.

   A. her daughter advised her to do so

   B. it was one of her favorite languages

   C. she wanted to read a novel in Russian

   D. she wanted to make a Russian friend

27. What can we learn from the text?

   B. No sweat,no sweet.

   C. Every road leads to Rome.

   D. Never judge a book by its cover.

   Many studies have shown that students learn in different ways and that good results can be achieved if they are taught by a teaching method that suits them best. Similarly,students’ performance varies in what types of test they are given. Therefore,it may seem reasonable to give students the chance to choose how they wish to be tested. However,this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material. Teachers are already very busy,creating tests,grading,coming up with interesting lesson plans,teaching classes,not to mention holding parent teacher conferences,and creating new tests would only add to their burden.

   Another strain teachers would have to face is how to grade fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways. For instance,how do you compare a student who wrote an essay on one small topic of a book to another who answered every multiple choice question correctly over the entire book? Maybe the student who wrote the essay only read a small part of it in depth enough so that they could write the essay. But perhaps the student taking the multiple choice test only had a base understanding of the book and couldn’t write a critical essay about something in it.

   This is not to say,however,that students should be graded in the same manner every time. This would be equally unfair as again,different students test better when assessed by different methods. Therefore,teachers need to be sure to give essay tests,multiple choice tests,as well as other multi-media(多媒体) projects to assess their students,just not over the same material. This gives students the opportunity to show off their abilities and make up for tasks that they’ re not good at. For instance,a student that is a bad test taker could make up for their grade with a well-performed project. Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities. As such,students could be allowed to choose the method in which they wish to complete their extra credit. If a student is a strong essay writer,they could write an extra essay to make up for their poor test grade. This would allow students to compensate for poor grades in areas in which they aren’ t as accomplished.

28. We know from Paragraph 1 that if students could choose how they are tested,teachers would .

   A. have more work

   B. lose their authority   C. change their lesson plans

   D. prepare more testing materials

29. What does the underlined word “strain” in Paragraph 2 mean?

   A. Possibility. B. Difficulty.

   C. Approach. D. Hesitation.

30. The author writes the last paragraph in order to.

   A. draw a conclusion   B. offer suggestions
