There was a story many years ago of a school teacher---Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.

     Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed (羞愧) of herself. She felt even worse when Teddy brought her a Christmas gift too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水).

     Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.

     Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

     Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).

     The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard said to Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”

   Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”

56. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?

A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.        

B. She asked the children to play with Teddy.

C. She changed Teddy’s seat to the front row.

D. She told the class something untrue about herself.

57. What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy?

A. He often told lies.                       B. He was good at math. 

C. He needed motherly care.                 D. He enjoyed playing with others.

58. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?

 A. She taught fewer school subjects.         B. She became stricter with her students.

 C. She no longer liked her job as a teacher.    D. She cared more about educating students.

59. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?

 A. She had kept in touch with him.           B. She had given him encouragement.

   C. She had sent him Christmas presents.      D. She had taught him how to judge people.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation.

  When you hear a person's name,repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

  Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

  You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.

  Admit (承认) you don't know.

  Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say,“I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

  Use associations(关联).

  Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,you could make a note:“Vicki Cheng—tall,black hair.” To reinforce(加强) your associations,write them on a small card as soon as possible.

  Limit(限定) the number of new names you learn at one time.

  When meeting a group of people,concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

  Go early.

  Consider going early to conferences,parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive,you can hear them being introduced to others—a review for you.

60. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A. They will be moved.             B. They will be angry.

C. They will be happy.              D. They will be discouraged.

61. If you can't remember someone's name,you may ______.

A. tell him the truth                        B. tell him a white lie

C. ask him for pity                         D. ask others to help you

62. When you meet a group of people,it is better to remember ______.

A. all their names                  B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names              D. as many names as possible

63. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.    B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.    D. How to recite and repeat names.

What makes a boarding school(寄宿制) different from a normal school? The answer is simple: when in a boarding school you stay there instead of going home. This is something everyone knows. But what not everyone knows is that when you are in a boarding school, you make a lot of friends. You live together with your friends for a few years, which makes the friendship even more intense.

You are a lot closer to your teachers and other workers in your school. It most feels like you are in one big happy family. If boarding students have any problems, they can always go to one of the teachers or one of the workers, and they will be glad to be able to help.

Life in a girl boarding school or a boy boarding school differs a lot from life in a mixed one. Studies have shown that the social life and academic(学术的) results from students in a single sex boarding school are much better than those of a mixed one. One of the reasons for this is that with less pressure in the classes, the children can concentrate(全神贯注) much better when they are in separated classes.

Life in boarding schools for troubled teens differs from that of all the other boarding schools. Life in these schools is often much stricter because of the rules the students have to obey. These schools have strict rules to teach troubled teens respect.

Although some boarding schools have some different rules and different ways of teaching, life in schools is almost the same. Students attend classes, eat together, and sleep in dorms where they normally have to share their room with some other students. Attending a boarding school is a great experience and the values you learn there will help you in the rest of your life.

64. According to the author, what makes a boarding school life so different?

A. The friendship there and having to stay in school.

B. The feeling of living in a big family.

C. Sleeping habits formed in school.

D. The need to share rooms with others.

65. The underlined word “intense” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.

A. different      B. strange      C. strong       D. funny

66. Compared with students in a mixed boarding school, most teenagers in a single sex one _____.

A .don’t like the life there         B. get better academic results

C. have to obey stricter rules       D. are under much more pressure

I know what you're thinking:pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast?But the truth is that you can have last night's leftovers in the am if you want to.

  I know lots of women who do not have breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don't have time,others think they're “saving” calories(卡路里),still others just don't like breakfast food.

  But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you're trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year's “SELF CHALLENGE”.And even pizza can be healthy if it is with vegetables,and you stick to (坚持吃) one small piece.

  Breakfast is one meal I never miss,and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

  So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether,and have just coffee or orange juice. I say,try heating up last night's leftovers—it may sound crazy,but if it works for you,do it!I find if I tell myself,“You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it! You may save yourself some pre­-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-­burning effects.

67. The underlined word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means______.

A. food remaining after a meal           B. things left undone

C. meals made of vegetables             D. pizza with fruit

68. What can we infer from the text?

A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.

C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.

D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.

69. According to the last paragraph,it is important to______.

A. eat something for breakfast          B. be careful about what you eat

C. heat up food before eating it         D. eat calorie­-controlled food

70. The text is written mainly for those______.

A. who go to work early              B. who want to lose weight

C. who stay up late                  D. who eat before sleep

Should students make friends on line ?Some people say yes .The internet helps make many friends .Chatting on line ,students can more freely express their feelings and opinions ,and even get help with their foreign language studies .

Others ,however, think students should not .They say making friends on line is a waste of time ,which should be spent more meaningfully on study .Besides ,some students get cheated on line.

It is my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other things .As for friendship ,we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us
