When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely speechless. However, my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation(欣赏).

He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbors’ children who could have done it. Then he looked at mom in silence. Finally mom, who always taught us to tell the truth no matter what happened, said, “No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence.”

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he doesn’t sit still before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.
There are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand anything, they say no. The teacher can’t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can’t keep strictly to what another has written.
63. According to the passage, a good teacher should NOT _________.
A. hold the attention and interest of his audience
B. speak with a good, strong and pleasant voice
C. speak clearly to his audience in class
D. sit still while using his body language
64. A good teacher is probably one who _________.
A. speaks words which he has learnt by heart B. can change his voice if necessary
C. makes all words and actions seem natural D. must able to take part in a stage-play
65. The word “beforehand” underlined in the third paragraph is closest in the meaning to _________.
A. ahead of time B. later C. recently D. since then
66. The best title for the passage is likely to be_________.
A. A good teacher and a good actor B. A good teacher’s guidance
C. A good teacher’s knowledge D. How to be a good teacher

Kieron Williamson, a seven-year-old British boy, is being recognized as an art genius(天才) after selling 16 paintings for 18, 000 pounds in just 14 minutes. This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and drawn comparisons(相比，对比) to Pablo Picasso, a child prodigy(神童) who became one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century.
It all began on a family holiday to Cornwall on the southwest English coast when Kieron was five. Inspired by the beautiful view, he asked his parents for his first sketch-pad (速写纸). From that moment on, he became deeply interested. While supportive, Kieron’s parents are careful not to push their son. He only paints when and what he wants.
He has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his works have been flooding in. His father said a sale of Kieron’s works held in November even drew a buyer from Japan. “We had people driving down that night, there were people on the door waiting to come in the morning who had been standing outside, the phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine o’clock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone, ” he said.
All this talent, money and high praise could so easily go to a young boy’s head, but Kieron said his friends keep him grounded. “Some of them want to be as good as me and some of them think. . . Umn, ‘you are not too special’.” he said.
Kieron’s favourite painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent some of his earnings buying a work by his hero. The rest is being invested(投资) by his parents until he reaches 25. Kieron’s parents and his younger sister Billi-Jo don’t see him as anything but a average seven-year-old boy who likes to tear around the house and who’s mad about football. But for now, with so much still to learn, there’s only one thing he wants to be when he grows up. He said, “I think I’ll be an artist.”
67. According to Paragraph 1, we can know Kieron Williamson_________.
A. became famous before selling 16 paintings
B. shows special skill at painting
C. is the envy of Picasso and other painters
D. draws better than Picasso did
68. Which of the following is the main reason which made Kieron Williamson begin to love painting?
A. His parents’ help. B. His hard work.
C. His parents’ training. D. The beautiful view he saw.
69. In Kieron Williamson’s friends’ opinion, he _________.
A. is very famous and too proud B. works very hard at school
C. should receive praise from others D. is as average as other children
70. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _________.
A. Kieron is determined to be a painter
B. has spent all his money buying a work by his hero
C. Kieron’s family waste the money he earns
D. Kieron can spend his money freely

One day we visited some friends and had tea. Tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4:00 in the afternoon. You can’t have tea ─ the meal ─ after 4:30. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. You can only drink tea at a tea party, not coffee or juice. And you must drink tea with milk. You must pour the tea, then the milk ─ you can’t put the milk in first, then the tea.
In buses and trains, the other passengers are very quiet, and you mustn’t talk too loudly. It’s very different from China! In some trains you can’t even use your mobile phones! And you don’t often hear people shouting in the street.
I was very lucky ─ I even went to a wedding. It was very different from a Chinese wedding. For example, the man and the woman can’t see each other the night before the wedding. Then the woman mustn’t arrive at the church on time but a few minutes late. And at the party after the wedding, the woman throws her flowers over her shoulder. The girl who catches them will be the next to marry! It was all very strange but it was great fun!

Possible version:
Boys and girls:
We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset about their body styles and looks. It’s unnecessary and it’s not important at all. We needn’t care about it. It is one’s inner beauty that matters. Second, some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. We sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers or classmates. Faced with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Third, some of us often quarrel with our parents because of the generation gap between us. It is necessary for us to communicate with our parents after school, telling them what we think or what we want to do in the future. Last of all, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination.
That’s all. Thank you.
