8．She was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed more than 110pounds，but Miss Bessie was a towering presence in the classroom．She was the only woman tough enough to make me read Beowulf and think for a few stupid days that I liked it．From 1938to 1942，she taught me English，history-and a lot more than I realized．
I shall never forget the day she scolded （批评） me into reading Beowulf．"But Miss Bessie，"I complained，"I ain't much interested in it．"
Her large brown eyes became sharp．"Boy，"she said，"how dare you say‘ain't'to me!I've taught you better than that．"
"Miss Bessie，"I said，"I'm trying to join the football team，and if I go around saying‘it isn't'and‘they aren't，'the guys are gonna laugh me off the team．"
"Boy，"she replied，"you'll play football because you have guts （勇气）．But do you know what really takes guts？Refusing to lower your standards to those of the crowd．It takes guts to say you've got to live and be somebody fifty years after all the football games are over．"
I started saying"it isn't"and"they aren't，"and I still joined the team without losing my friends'respect．
Negroes，as we were called then，were not allowed in the town library，except to sweep floors or clean tables．But with the help of some nice whites，Miss Bessie kept getting books out of the white library．That is how she introduced me to the Bront?s，Byron and Keats．"If you don't read，you can't write，and if you can't write，you might as well stop dreaming，"Miss Bessie once told me．
So I read whatever Miss Bessie told me to，and tried to remember the things she insisted that I store away．It could be embarrassing to be unprepared when Miss Bessie said，"Get up and tell the class who Frances Perkins is and what you think about her．"Forty-five years later，I can still recite her"truths to live by"．
Miss Bessie noticed things that had nothing to do with schoolwork，but were essential to a youngster's development．Once a few classmates made fun of my worn-out hand-me-down overcoat．As I was leaving school，Miss Bessie patted me on the back of that old overcoat and said，"Carl，never worry about what you don't have．Just make the most of what you do have-a brain．"
No child can get all the necessary support at home，and millions of poor children get no support at all．This is what makes a wise，educated，warm-hearted teacher like Miss Bessie so essential to the minds，hearts and souls of this country's children．

7．Hueco Tanks State Historical Park is home to thousands of Native American paintings and drawings．Ancient works of rock art dating back thousands of years lie within caves hidden in the hills．The paintings at Hueco Tanks have lasted for centuries．
The walls tell stories of many people and many times for at least 10，000years．Several different groups of people have traveled through and lived in the area．These groups often left their mark with rock paintings and drawings．Scientists have studied these ancient works of art to learn more about the people who made them．Scientists believe that around 6，000BC a group now known as the Desert Archaic people occupied （占有） the area．The earliest of their drawings are simple wavy and straight lines．Later drawings show scenes of people holding spears （矛） while deer and other animals run around them．
Around 1，000AD the Mogollon people lived in the area．The Mogollon were farmers．More than most farmers，the Mogollon valued water．For them water held great meaning．This group of farmers painted many pictures of water flowing over the land and rain with lightning．
The Mescalero Apaches created some of the most recent rock art at Hueco Tanks．They stayed in the area for a short time around 1，600AD．Spanish explorers had arrived in North America by this time．Many of the cave paintings from this period show Spanish soldiers on horses．
In 1849the California Gold Rush was well under way．Some people traveled through hot，dry West Texas as they made their way to California's goldfields．Hueco Tanks provided water and shade （阴凉处） for these travelers．Many of these travelers put their names and dates on the rocks at Hueco Tanks．These writings are still found on the rocks today．
In May 1970Hueco Tanks was made a state park，giving the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department control of the area．
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is using technology to help take care of the rock art．By studying these works of art，visitors and scientists can learn much about the lives of some early Native Americans．

6．More Than a Zoo
Popcorn Park is not like most zoos．It is a very special place．Workers at the zoo care for hurt or sick animals．They return some of these animals to their natural homes．Those animals that cannot live on their own stay at Popcorn Park Zoo．
At first this unusual place was not a zoo．It was called the Forked River Animal Care Center．The workers there took care of lost or unwanted cats and dogs．
The change to the center began in 1977when a raccoon needed help．The workers cared for the animal．Finally it was better，but it could not care for itself．The raccoon was allowed to live at the center．
Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center，they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there．Soon the center was no longer just a home for cats and dogs．So many animals were living at the center that it became more like a zoo．It was time for a new name．
Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn（爆米花）made without oil or salt．Also the popcorn is sold at the zoo to help make money to care for the animals．People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat．
Popcorn Park Zoo now takes care of more than 200kinds of animals．All the animals at the zoo get lots of care and love．

4．There are several kinds of distances（距离） people keep．Dr．Hall names them intimate，personal，social，and public．Intimate distance is being very close to another，as in a family．Personal distance might be the kind people put between themselves at a party．Social distance is more businesslike and formal．Public distance is used by actors，politicians，and leaders before a large group．
Scientists are trying to find out how people use these different distances．They want to discover why，when，and where people allow closeness or use space to protect themselves from others．
Since proxemics is a new science，there aren't many conclusions about the meaning of spaces separating people．But you can make some general observations（观察） on your own．Take note how you use space on different situations．What message do you get from other people as they move close to you or away from you？Does distance give you a feeling that you are being ignored（忽视）？When do you feel crowded（拥挤的）？
Standing in line at a shop counter，you can learn about space．People keep just enough distance between each other so that they don't invade（侵犯） each other's area．If you should move in on another person's area，you would soon know it．That person would become nervous or turn around to show you the angry expression on his or her face．Or that person might simply tell you，"Please step back．I'm too crowded．"
School is a good place to study how space is used and how people mark their own area．At school you probably have a desk or part of a table to call your own．How do you feel when you find someone sitting at your desk or covering your table with papers and books？Maybe you want to protect your area．You might tell the other person that it belongs to you．Then you might move his or her things aside．You might even ask that person to leave your area．
Whether people are close together or far from each other，space can tell you indeed．The most important thing in space dialogue is whether people respect one another's areas．Invading other people's space might mean trouble．

57．From the passage we can learn thatA．
A．close or not，there is distance between people
B．personal distance is between family members
C．close distance can make you feel comfortable
D．one must keep enough distance from others
58．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．You must protect your area from others'invading it．
B．Space among people is something important for us．
C．Distance can tell the relationship between people．
D．Scientists are studying why there are kinds of spaces．
59．What does the last sentence"Please step back．I'm too crowded"in Paragraph 4mean？D
A．Go away or I am leaving．
B．You take all my area as yours．
C．Come and see I am here．
D．You're standing too close to me．
60．The best title of the passage probably isB
A．How interesting space is!
B．Space does speak indeed
C．Space can be everywhere
D．One should own his space．

3．I loved music when I was young．I learned to play the guitar at 11and I wrote my first song four years later．My dream was to become a country singer．
After years of hard work，a record company was showing interest in me．One day during a trip to mountains，a friend offered me a bit of meth，a kind of drugs（毒品）．I smoked it．And that was all that I thought about for the next year and a half．I couldn't live without it．
When the police came to me，I looked like death．The first seven days in prison，I just slept．When I woke up on the eighth day，I had never known such shame and guilt（罪恶感）．I walked down the hall to the pay phone．My mama is the sweetest person on the earth，and I knew this was going to break her heart．When I heard her voice on the phone，I told her where I was．She just said，"Son，don't you know you can't do anything to make me not love you？"
Her words gave me the confidence to face my trouble．And I also realized this was my chance to start a new life．
When people hear my words，I hope they will not make the same mistake as I have，but I do know that you can overcome almost anything，especially smoking drug．That's why I share my story here．

51．The writer wrote his first song when he wasC years old．
A.11
B.13
C.15
D.17
52．Why was the writer put into prison？B
A．Because he offered others meth．

2．Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be．Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night．And on the Internet，the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant（不相关的）．A half century ago in the United States，most people experienced dividing lines between days of rest and days of work，school time and summer time．Today the boundaries（界限） are still present，but they seem not clear．
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday； in most，it no longer does．It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer，in most，it still does．And whether the work week should strengthen（加强） its legal limits（法律限制），or whether it should become more"practical"is often discussed．How should we，as a society，arrange our time？Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other？
These are not easy questions even to ask．Part of the difficulty is that we seldom care about the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face．We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours，a certain number of days，a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer （督学），we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom（习惯） and parents'demand（要求） rather than to the law．As adults we are used to"extra（额外的） pay for overtime working"，but less used to the fact that"overtime"is a matter of legal definition．When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time，have we ever thought to ourselves；"Here is the law in action"？As we shall see，there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to arrange and use time：compulsory education law，overtime law，and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing，holidays，being late to work，time zones，and so on．Once we begin to look for it，we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess（评价）．

49．What does"in most，it no longer does．"in Paragraph 2mean？B
A．Most states require stores to be open on Sunday now．
B．Most states do not require stores to close on Sunday now．
C．Stores are no longer open on Sunday in most of the states now．
D．Stores no longer close on Sunday in most of the states now．
50．The writer's questions in Paragraph 2 are to introduce the fact that peopleC．
A．fail to make full use of their time
B．enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C．do not care about the law of time
D．welcome practical working hours
51．According to the passage，most children go to school because theyB．
A．need to learn knowledge
B．have to listen to their parents
C．need to make good friends
D．have to practise the law
52．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．Our life is decided by the law of time．
B．How to arrange time is not worth discussing．
C．New ways of using time change our society．
D．Time arrangement is decided by social customs．

1．Anger（生气） is a kind of feeling．Many things can make you angry．When you have a lot of homework to do，when your team loses an important game，when a friend borrows your bike and breaks it，you can get really angry．
Usually，your body will tell you when you are angry．For example，you breathe faster，your face turns red，and you may want to break something or hit someone，but sometimes you hide your anger．For example，you may hide it in your heart．The problem is that if you do this，you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt．
In fact，it is not good to hide your anger，and it is important for you to get angry sometimes．But anger must be let out in the right way，without hurting others or yourself．
When you get angry，you can talk about it with other people．It is helpful to talk about your anger with an adult，such as a parent，a teacher，etc．When you talk about anger，those bad feelings can start to go away．Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry：talk to a good friend； count from 1to 100； give someone a hug； go for a bike ride； think about good things，etc．
Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse．Don't let your anger control you．
