5.In the years of my growing up,Dad was strict with me and made sure I made my bed and did my homework.He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party.I got so angry with him for making these rules.I would scream,"I hate you!"Dad would yell back,"Good!I don't care!"Deep down I knew he did.
One time at a party,I drank too much alcohol and got so sick.I said,"Call my dad."Next thing,Dad was carrying me to the car.I woke up the next morning,thinking I would definitely be criticized.As expected,I got a roasting,but I now understand why I needed discipline.
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films.I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series,but it wasn't until I finshed film studies that I pursued(追求)my career as an actress.Like those early days for Dad,I faced lots of refusal.Working in such a competitive industry,I've sometimes thought,"I can't do this any more."
Once after a trip to Hollywood,I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting,listening to Eckhart Tolle's music and trying to find myself again.Dad sat me down and said,"Alice,I know it's hard,but it's all about persistence (坚持不懈)."
Now I get to work with Dad a lot,which I love.We are both enthusiastic about acting,which comes from us being so interested in people.If it weren't for Dad,I wouldn't be where I am today.He's my biggest fan,and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.

51.What rules did Alice's father set for her when she was growing up?(no morethan 15 words)Sheshould make her bed,do her homework and drink no alcohol.
Or:Making her bed,doing her homework and drinking no alcohol.
52.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2mean?(no more than 5words)I got/was criticized/scolded.
53.What did Alice's father do when she felt depressed?(no more than 5words)He encouraged/comforted/inspired her.
54.According to the last paragraph,what do Alice and her father have in common?(no more than 10words)
They are both enthusiastic about acting and interested in people.
55.What do you think of Alice's father?Please explain.(no more than 20words)He is a good/devoted/caring/loving father because he was strict with his daughter and encouraged her when she was in trouble.
Or:He is always supportive/a source of strength.Whenever his daughter is in trouble,he is there for her..
4."Everybody is a genius.But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
---Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school system,it's then possible that you've come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall.My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone's control over their movement) and it means,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems,the standard assessments aren't always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you've probably heard about Chris Ulmer,the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville,Florida,who starts his special education class by callig up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation).I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way.Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience."I have seen their confidence and self-value increase rapidly,"he said.All I could think was:How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.
Syona's teacher has an attitude that can best be described in one word:brilliant.Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done-she focuses on what can be done.Over the past several months,Syona's confidence has seen to increase ten times.She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before.She recently told me about her classmate's trip to Ecuador and was in extreme delight when I understood her on the frst try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home.We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have.In fact,Ulmer teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.

18.My father was attached to gardening by birth.One of my earliest memories is following:Dad barefoot around in the garden with both hands blackened from digging in the soil.The garden was a wonderland full of possibilities.
As Dad grew older,he still loved gardening.Even when he was diagnosed with cancer,he still planted all sorts of plants.Sometimes,I would come over to visit,and we would walk together in the garden.But then,something changed.Like the weeds that took over his garden,the cancer grew rapidly in Dad,and the doctor gave up.I stayed with Dad twenty-four hours a day and I found myself in all kinds of uncomfortable situations with Dad until I promised to care for the garden.
Though I had heard the words of the doctor,what really made me believe that Dad was dying was the state of his garden.That year,he only planted tomatoes.Too tired to weed them,he simply tied them with strong strings to the fence and let them be.It made me sad to see them ignored,so I would come over and water them once in a while,and remove the weeds.I still remember the day when I picked the last tomato from the vine(藤).That day was one of the saddest I had ever experienced in my life.
Three years ago,I decided to plant my own garden.I decided I would start out with just a few tomatoes.That morning when I moved to the garden,something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile.It was my eight-year-old son Nathan,standing barefoot in the soil,happily playing in soil.
