A
On the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”
He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.
It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.
But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”
One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”
He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”
“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”
“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”
“I want to buy my mother a house.”
“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.
“Mr Washington?”
“What do you want now?”
“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”
School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.
Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr Brown, please?”
“Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?”
“Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?”
“Yes, sir, I was.”
小题1:What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality”?
A.You needn’t have the same opinion as others.
B.You should believe what other people say.
C.What other people say about you may not be correct.
D.The doctor made a mistake.
小题2: What happened to the author at last?
A.He entered a good university.B.He earned much honor.
C.He got a good job.D.He made television programs.
小题3: In the passage, the author implies that _________.
A.people shouldn’t believe what doctors say
B.no one can be successful with hard work and confidence
C.no one is really educable mentally retarded
D.a good teacher can change a student’s life
小题4:The best title for the passage would be “__________”.
A.Don’t believe othersB.I am the one
C.My best teacherD.I succeeded at last

When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing her homework.
I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy. So I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.
Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.
Other parents dislike the recent trend toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition(反对)are those who say that homework increases the gap(差距)between the rich and the poor. That’s because middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.
So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
小题1:The author thought that her daughter’s homework _________.
A.was too difficult
B.was too much to finish
C.was done more carefully than other students’
D.could be done as long as she helped her daughter
小题2:The author never complained to the teacher because _________.
A.she was too angry to talk with the teacher.
B.she did not like complaining.
C.she was afraid of being thought lazy by the teacher.
D.her daughter would be annoyed if she complained.
小题3:In the last paragraph, experts __________.
A.think middle school students should do lots of homework.
B.haven’t come up with any idea to solve this problem.
C.think homework should be given, but not too much.
D.support the idea that homework is good for students.

Five Smart Habits of Successful Children
Have you ever wondered what actions make the most difference in your children's lives?
Children don't have to be smart to succeed. They don't have to be born rich and famous. All they need is the right outlook and a few smart habits.
Successful children make friends wherever they go. Children who learn to get along with others from an early age are more successful in life. 1    Without them, we'd have no support. Whatever the goal is, friends are needed to achieve it. Do your children a favor by encouraging social interaction early.
 2  They don't just hope for success; they are certain of it. They don't complain. They have a smile on their face and get on with the business of living. They feel pain just like the other children. The difference is that they don't let it hinder(妨碍) their progress.
Successful children become successful because they never give up. They fall. They fail. 3    The difference is that they use their mistakes the way they were intended. They embrace failure because it pushes them forward.
Successful children ignore the naysayer (反对者). They don't worry about what other people think. They follow the path that is right for them, regardless of gossip. 4     They are too busy working towards their goals. They do have concern for the feelings of others.
Successful children share their success. They don't forget all the people who helped them get where they were going.They don't criticize(批评)and reject(抛弃) those who are struggling. They take them by the hand and guide them up the ladder.
A.Do you want to be a successful child?
B.Social skills are vital(重要的) to human survival.
C.Successful children look on the bright side.
D.They make just as many mistakes as the other children.
E. They take the time to teach others what they have learned.
F. They don't engage in gossip either, because they don't have time for it.
G. In fact, they don't even have to become rich and famous.

Hundreds of students from around the world gathered in New York City last week for the Microsoft Imagine Cup finals. They came to present their ideas for using technology to solve world problems.
Microsoft education director Suzi Levine says the nine-year-old program began mainly as a competition to create technology.
SUZI LEVINE: "When we realized that students really actually want to have a purpose for what they're creating, we introduced the idea of inspiring them with the UN Millennium Development Goals and suggesting that they use those for their muse(灵感). "This past year we also rolled out something called the Imagine Cup Solve This library(创新杯求解计划知识库), where IGOs, NGOs and nonprofits can submit some of the technical challenges that they would like students to consider for their solutions."
Microsoft says over 350,000 high school and college students registered for this year's competition. Judges chose more than four hundred of them to attend the finals.
SUZI LEVINE: "One from Thailand was called NewKrean, where they created a Windows Phone 7 application that allows you to broadcast your location to your social network of friends so that you can be more easily rescued." They named their application Terra.
Suzi Levine says there were also ideas from Egypt inspired by the revolution that overthrew president Hosni Mubarak in February.
SUZI LEVINE: "One was to use Bluetooth as sort of a Twitter equivalent so that if the government shuts down the Internet, you actually can still have a massive social distribution."
Students competed in nine categories. For example, in software design the top prize of twenty-five thousand dollars went to Team Hermes from Ireland. The students developed a device for cars to collect information on road conditions, driving behavior and traffic incidents.
A team from Taiwan's National Tsing Hua University won first place in the embedded(内嵌的) development category. They developed a network of wireless devices to help plot the safest escape routes during a fire.
Next year's awards ceremony will take place in Australia. Registration for Imagine Cup twenty-twelve opened Friday. Also, Microsoft announced plans for a three million dollar program to help Imagine Cup winners further develop their projects.
小题1:Which of the following is true ?
A.The program is sponsored by Microsoft.
B.Next year, the awards ceremony will be held in New York City.
C.Any high school or college student can attend the finals.
D.The initial purpose of the program is to solve world problems using technology.
小题2: What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A.The UN offers great help to the program.
B.Microsoft sets up a library for the students who want to achieve their goals.
C.IGOs, NGOs and nonprofits also provide help for the students.
D.Microsoft takes effective measures to inspire the students.
小题3:What does the underlined word “overthrew ” in Paragraph 6 mean ?
A. AbandonedB.SupportedC.Drove awayD.Overturned
小题4:What can we know from Paragraph 7?
A.They want to replace Bluetooth with Twitter.
B.They want to combine Bluetooth with Twitter.
C.They want to replace Twitter with Bluetooth.
D.Twitter can still be used without the Internet.

See a cell phone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting "print" on your computer.
You might find it hard to believe that you could actually "print" an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink, the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂)and certain metals. The thinner each layer is --- from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair ---  the smoother and finer the object will be.
This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3-D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was hardly affordable for most people, so few knew about it.
Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3-D printing industry--- printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost £20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now they cost only about £ 1,000, according to the BBC.
Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3-D printing can create just about anything you can think of ---flutes (笛子), bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3-D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.
However, as 3-D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems --- such as piracy(盗版). "Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?" an expert in 3-D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3-D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?
小题1:According to the article, in the future, the 3-D printing technology will ___.
A.enable people to make better purchases online
B.be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers
C.change the way we make many products
D.shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
小题2:What was the big event happening in the 3-D printing industry last year?
A.The 3-D printing technology was taken out ofthe factory.
B.The 3-D printer became more affordable forconsumers.
C.The 3-D printer was used for medical treatmentfor the first time.
D.3-D printing technology began to be used invarious fields.
小题3:How is the last paragraph developed?
A.By analyzing a cause and an effect.B.By making comparisons.
C.By giving examples.D.By presenting research findings.
小题4:What is the best title of the passage?
A.Printing out everythingB.Technology in the future
C.Online shopping disappearingD.Great demand for 3-D printers

Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet.  Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.
So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?
First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it. Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.
Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. What's more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes can not be avoided. Don't hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And what's even better is that the things you'll do to build self-confidence will also build success -- after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. No one can take this away from you!
As you sow, so shall you reap. With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments graciously. "Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospectus. I'm pleased you recognize my efforts. " The congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success.
Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every, aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. Self-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether you're working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it's well-worth the effort!
小题1:Those who are truly confident
A.succeed without effort and hard work
B.encourage people around to become confident
C.appear more attractive and thus become successful
D.gain the confidence of others and feel successful
小题2:The underlined word "mock" (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to
A.praiseB.imitateC.talk toD.laugh at
小题3:When others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to
A.praise them in returnB.gain further improvement
C.politely accept the complimentsD.expect them to congratulate you again
小题4:Which of the following proverbs best goes with Paragraph 4.9
A.Look before your leap.
B.It is no use crying over spilt milk.
C.Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
D.Learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones.
小题5:The purpose of the text is to
A.tell people how to become successful
B.convince people to do what they believe to be right
C.encourage people to build confidence and achieve success
D.criticize people who lack confidence and thus fail in their career
