going to become a teacher I have a horrible fear of giving presentations. My main problem is that I shake, which causes my paper to move when I hold it. Also I feel my heart beating so fast that I almost cannot
hear myself or pay attention to anything else. In my other semesters I only had one presentation which
only lasted for a few minutes. This, however, is my professional semester and there are about three
presentations per class and some of them have to be 30 minutes long! Now I feel like I'm in the wrong
field because of how nervous I become. But the thing is, I have already had students taught and have a lot of experience with children, and when I am around children I am completely comfortable. Children don't
judge people and I just don't get nervous around them. That is why I don't understand why they make us
do so many presentations in front of our peers (同龄人) as if they were children!
I am just so nervous about getting up in front of my class this semester! I can't stop fearing it and I'm
set for failure. It's strange. I have a good friend in my class and I seem to be more nervous with her being
there than when she is not there! Maybe that's because I don't know or don't really care about the rest of
the students in the class.
B. deal with students in elementary school
C. make many public presentations in front of his / her peers
D. work with his / her good friends
presentations?
B. Tense.
C. Exciting.
D. Disappointed.
B. the author performs better when his / her friend is not there
C. the author is disliked by most of his / her classmates
D. the author is eager to get help and support from his / her friend
B. an interesting experience of the author in the professional semester
C. stories about the relationship between the author and his / her friend
D. the author's problem of giving presentations

| I was successful at my job. I worked very hard, but it 1 me and my family a fabulous (极好的) lifestyle. I'd worked for the same company for twenty years and had worked my way up to department director. 2 , one afternoon last May, I was called to the office, and it was 3 explained to me that they were letting me go. I just sat there 4 they talked on and all I could think was, "I've 5 ." I'd been so well respected; 6 I was of no value. For six weeks, I was in a very 7 place. I wandered around my house like a zombie (僵尸). I could 8 things needed doing, but would not do anything. My beliefs in looking forward and seeing the positive (积极的) in everything 9 me. Then in late June, my youngest son's football team made the city cup final. The year before, he'd been very sad when I 10 the same final, so he was 11 when I told him I'd go. Not only did they win, but the look on his face as he saw me 12 him on was unbelievable. From then on, I spent the summer enjoying my sons and their passions (激情). I attended match after match and performances of my elder son's ban-I 13 went to another city to watch him play. These moments were so 14 . My life had been so much devoted to 15 for so long and I felt 16 that my sons were happy to welcome me into their world. 17 , being unemployed gave me back a sense of purpose-I was someone's mum! I felt a sense of being 18 again. Now I feel more positive about my professional 19 and I'm getting on better with my family than I ever have. Losing my job made me realize just how 20 it is to achieve real balance in life. | ||||

I once studied at a major university in the Midwest United States. At the beginning of each term, I could see lots of undergraduates（大学生）accompanied by their parents gather around the dormitory buildings. Fathers often helped children with huge luggage; mothers took much concern over children’s necessities in university; while children were only absorbed in chatting with friends and getting to know each other, showing no sign of worrying about their future lives.
In fact, compared with Chinese parents, American parents care equally about their children’s advanced education and make plans accordingly. It is true that some students begin to save money for their university education quite earlier ―― for example, Amy, the daughter of my workmate Stevenson, planned to continue her education after secondary school. However Stevenson earned little and could not afford the tuition. Amy had to find a part-time job, working from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on holiday ――but for most American students, at least the majority of undergraduates, they are still financed by their parents.
Some parents not only take the financial burden for their children’s advanced education but also try every possible way to help them. I could still remember that our teacher once said that American parents seldom offered help to their children, by which she meant to say that Chinese parents might be too caring. However every coin has two sides. For example, my academic advisor successfully got money from a major scientific grant（资助金）to continue his research project, and then he hired an undergraduate Sarah to work with us. The fact is that research assistantship is usually competitive, especially to undergraduate students, and it turned out that Sarah was the daughter of my advisor! “When I apply to the graduate school next year, the money I make and the research experience I build up will benefit me a lot,” Sarah said. I used to think that American people behave like businessmen, but this small incident proves that they still might compromise（妥协）the rules for the benefit of their children as loving parents.
41. The main idea of the passage is _________.
A. American children have some difficulty in getting enough money to go to college
B. Chinese parents give their children too much love
C. American parents also care for their children going to university
D. Life in American universities
42. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the academic advisor?
A. Angry B. Understandable C. Unfair D. Disappointed
43. Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined part in the second paragraph?
A. They still use money from their parents.
B. They are still controlled by their parents.
C. They are still supported by their parents.
D. They are still cared by their parents.
44. What benefit will Sarah get because of her father’s care?
A. Good grades. B. The chance of finding a good job in the future.
C. Money and experience. D. Good relationship.
