2.In the mid-1950s,I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was was ted effort.One day,this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs.Totten's eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson,Indiana,we were learning to add and subtract decimals(小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework,which would be recited in class the following day.On most days,our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.
Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
S ince I was seated near the middle of about 35 students,it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time,I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent,which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class,I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me,but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.
When Mrs.Totten reached my desk,she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14."I…I didn't get anything,"I answered,and my face felt warm.
"Correct,"she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day?First,always do all your homework.Second,in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters.Third,I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most,it would be that one.
32.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?D
A.It is wise to value one's time.
B.It is important to make an effort
C.It is right to stick to one's belief.
D.It is enough to do the necessary.
33.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always.A
A.asked questions in a regular way
B.walked up and down when asking questions
C.chose two or three questions for the students
D.requested her students to finish their usual questions
34.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because.B
A.the class didn't begin as usual
B.several students didn't come to school
C.he didn't try hard to make his estimate
D.Mrs.Totten didn't start from the back of the class
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?D
A.An Unforgettable Teacher      
B.A Future Mathemati cian
C.An Effective Approach         
D.A Valuable Lesson.

10.It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day.Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn,grow,develop your strengths,free yourself from past regrets or hurts,and move forward older and wiser.Every day gives you a chance to reinvent(重新审视) yourself.It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life.
Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper.How would you like to create your day?What would you like to paint on it?If you wake up in a negative mind,you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day,and your picture will not show hope,happiness and joy.
If you take each day to think actively,and have a positive intention for how you would like to create your day,how would your life be different?What can daily positive intentions do for you?Every day you will give yourself the gift of an"attitude of gratitude(感恩)".
Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way.You can experience each day in the beauty of the world---and the beauty of you who are in it!You can find yourself changing from"I can't"to"I can".With a focus on positive intentions,you feel you are full of power and more like a"winner"than a"loser".
You pay more attention to the present,and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day.After all,the past is a great place to visit,but you don't want to live there!So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day?

7.The morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching.And I'd been in an argument with a friend.Her words still hurt:"The trouble with you is that you
won't put yourself in my place.Can't you see things from my point of view?"I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth.I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday,but the pain was really unbearable.I started calling the dentists in the phone book,but no one could see me immediately.Finally,at about lunchtime,I got lucky.
"If you come by right now,"the receptionist said,"the dentist will fit you in."
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?Why wasn't he as busy as the others?
In the dentist's office,I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,"Don't worry.The dentist is very good."
"How long do I have to wait for him?"I asked impatiently.
"Come on,he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,"the assistant said.
"The artwork?"I was puzzled.
The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture,right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was!At that moment,I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

C.The surroundings of the dentist's office.
D.The laughing assistant of the dentist.
30.Why did the author suddenly smile?B
A.Because the dentist came at last.
B.Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
C.Because she could relax in the chair.
D.Because the assistant kept comforting her.

11.The past fifty years or so have seen the gradual disappearing of animals from this earth,fishes from the sea,trees and plants from the land.
Many factors result in this unpleasant phenomenon(现象).Among them,hunting is the main factor that endangers wild life.Some people kill wild life for sport.They take pleasure in collecting heads and hides(兽皮).Yet others specialize in commercial hunting like killing whales.
Apart from this,the rapidly growing human population threatens(威胁) wild life on land,too.Towns expand and roads have to be built,so forests are burnt and trees are chopped down.It seems that man needs every inch of land within his reach,so he moves on to the natural habitat of wild life.Tigers,lions and leopards slowly die off without the food and shelter that the forests provide.
In addition,rapid urbanization(城市化) means industrial expansion.Very often,poisonous chemicals,industrial wastes and oil are dumped into the rivers and seas.Fish and birds are threatened.
Man depends greatly on animals for survival.He needs their flesh,hides and furs.Thus,man cannot do without wild life; or he himself would become extinct.The public should be made aware that it would be better to shoot the animals with a camera than with a gun.In this way,they can preserve and help wild life to continue living rather than to remove all signs of it.
Man must learn to farm the sea as he does the land.He should control the amount and the frequency of his catch.He should allow fish to breed and multiply before netting them.Man also needs to build forest reserves,and to pass laws prohibiting(禁止) the killing of animals,especially those that are already rare.To keep the present animal kingdom,the least that man can do is to clean the seas and rivers and to prevent pollution.
The cycle of nature is such that it forms a vicious circle(恶性循环).The pesticides(杀虫剂) that we spray on crops can kill the birds and animals that feed on them.When man eats these poisoned animals,he himself can die.We must therefore test the chemicals to be used before they are sprayed or it might mean the death of man!
23.The author's purpose in writing the passage is toD.
A.explain how important wild life is to human beings.
B.call people's attention to serious problem of pollution.
C.explain relationship between wild life and human being
D.call people's attention to the protection of wild life
24.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?C
A.The growing human population threatens wild life because people take land from animals
B.Some people devote themselves to killing animals for money.
C.People can preserve and help wild life to continue living by shooting the animals with a camera.
D.Fishes are threatened by poisonous chemicals,industrial wastes and oil.
25.The last paragraph is mainly aboutB.
A.the importance of wild life to human beings
B.how the circle of nature is formed
C.how animals are gradually disappearing form the earth
D.how to solve the problem of pollution.
