As I am taking a backward glance at my childhood and my adolescence, those happy moments are flowing through my mind   1   a movie. My mom and dad were teaching my brother and me   2  , watching the colorful sunset together,   3   the bedtime stories for us…

One particular scene is coming up to my   4   at this moment－it was an autumn night, one of the beautiful nights in four   5  . Stars were twinkling in the    6   blue sky, and tree leaves were shimmering(闪烁)   7   the silvery, full moon as they   8   slowly with the cool breeze. My brother and I went to bed reluctantly at 9:30 after playing.

Suddenly, my brother and I were woken up by my mom.

“What’s going on?” I asked in my sleepy voice   9   I was rubbing my eyes, and looking at the clock. It was   10   to the midnight.

“Come, come to the window.” She whispered.

As we were   11   into the starry sky, a shining object, flying   12   the heaven far, far away, left a bright, slightly curved, long path, as its tail was blurring(模糊) and   13  . “Wow, awesome(惊人的)!” We were   14  , and it took us a long time to   15   back into sleep.

When I was a boy, I didn’t think too much about this   16   experience. But as I’ve grown up, I began to understand it.

My parents have taken us with them to embark(着手，开始) on the adventures together, to open the windows for   17   to see the wonderful world, to   18   wonder and excitement with us…They have been passing their enthusiasm, optimism, wisdoms and many small things  19  us, things money can’t buy.

Now I have a job in a global consulting firm, and my work projects have taken me to many places and countries around the globe and those moments are   20   with me.

    We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary,

both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把……按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.

In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs: sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

    In Britain today, is it possible to tell a person’s class just by looking at him? Physical details

alone tell us about health, diet and type of work a person does. A hundred years ago the working class often looked unhealthy, small and they were either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often tall, sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved, and such descriptions are no longer true. People are taller now than a hundred years ago. Everyone in Britain today is able to have free medicine, a good diet, acceptable working conditions and enough rest and leisure.

The clothes people choose to wear, however, do provide information about their backgrounds. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer is rich. Clothes can provide other clues as well. The upper classes appear to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colors, made of natural material like wool, leather and cotton. Lower working-class people often choose clothes in bright colors, made of man-made materials. A sociological explanation for this would be that color and interest are missing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to produce this is taken.

Clothes are available at a price within most people’s reach. New clothes make the wearer feel good and show some degree of wealth to the outside world. Today it is the younger people who spend most money on clothes. Fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich. Young people from all social classes spend a lot of money on clothes. Some new fashions are started by working-class people who want to look different and feel important. They want people to look at them.

1．In the past, a person’s appearance could not tell other people about his ____________.

       A．health                  B．diet                     C．occupation          D．habits

2．The clothes people choose to wear tell us about their ___________.

       A．education            B．richness              C．backgrounds        D．hobby

3．A working-class person may start a new fashion because ___________.

       A．she wants to draw the attention of other people

       B．she wants to look different and healthy

       C．she wants to show their wealth

       D．she wants to show their taste

4．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

       A．Expensive clothes look expensive and show the wearer is rich.

       B．Working-class people prefer clothes in bright colors because they lack color in their lives.

       C．Today, it is still the upper-class people who spend most money on clothes.

       D．Today, fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich.

    For a small town, Manhattan, Kansas has some big surprises. And one of them is the Holiday

Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.

The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lighted restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.

Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.

Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Her best friends has a good pair of shoes. She paid forty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.

“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan,” she explains, “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say ‘What do you suggest?’ So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say, ‘Not very’, I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they’re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It’s very nice. Real good value.”

Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor. If she finds she doesn’t like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist(心理医生) instead.
