    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.”

    1. 1.

      What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality”?

      1. A.
        You needn’t have the same opinion as others
      2. B.
        You should believe what other people say
      3. C.
        What other people say about you may not be correct

    Specialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.
    There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephone, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The most simple things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.
    Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.
    Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves for the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock

    1. 1.

      According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following
      except _____

      1. A.
        language communication
      2. B.
        weather conditions and customs
      3. C.
        public service systems
      4. D.
        homesickness
    2. 2.

      According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, __________

      1. A.
        , the fewer difficulties you may have abroad
      2. B.
        the more difficulties you may have abroad
      3. C.
        the more money you will earn abroad
      4. D.
        the less homesick you will feel abroad
    3. 3.

      What is the main idea of the last passage?

      1. A.
        Escape unfamiliar environment
      2. B.
        The feeling of homesickness
      3. C.
        Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock
      4. D.
        The best way to overcome culture shock: get familiar with the new culture

    Turns out we aren’t good at walking and talking at the same time, according to a study of pedestrians （行人） on their cell phones．
    Nearly one-third of pedestrians （29．8% ） were distracted （分散注意力） by their mobile  devices while crossing the street, say researchers of a study published online in the journal Injury Prevention．
    Just as drivers who text, talk on cell phones, or adjust MP3 players increase their risk of losing control of their vehicles, pedestrians distracted by their conversations or their devices also put themselves at higher risk of getting into an accident．
    During the summer of 2012, scientists in Seattle, Wash． , studied 1,102 pedestrians at 20 crossroads seeing the city * s highest number of pedestrian injuries over the past few years．
    They watched how pedestrians crossed the street @ whether they looked both ways or obeyed the crossroad signal @ and also recorded how long it took pedestrians to do so．Distractions included listening to music with headphones, using a cell phone or earpiece to talk on a cell phone, text messaging, and talking with another person．
    Overall, researchers found the most common distraction among pedestrians was listening to music （11．2%）, followed by text messaging （7．3%）, and using a handheld phone（6．2%）． But the most absorbing distraction was texting． Compared to pedestrians who were not distracted, those who were texting took 1．87 seconds longer to cross and were four times more likely to not look where they were going, disobey traffic lights, or cross outside of the crosswalk． While the study did not track injuries related to these trends, previous studies have linked such activities to a higher risk of being injured while crossing the street．
    Combined with the rise in the use of mobile devices, especially smart phones, the results raise concerns that multi-tasking while walking may be a rising concern for pedestrians． And that danger may only climb, as the number of wireless devices has already exceeded the population of the United States． Last year, roughly 1,152 people wound up in the emergency room to treat injuries caused by using a cell phone or electronic device, the Consumer Product Safety Commission told the Associated Press in July． Those numbers may be underestimated, however, because patients may not always admit that they were using their phones along with other activities such as walking or driving when they were hurt．

    1. 1.

      The scientists did their study at the 20 crossroads in order to _____．

      1. A.
        attract more attention
      2. B.

      1. A.
        talking on a phone
      2. B.
        texting messages
      3. C.
        listening to music
      4. D.
        disobeying traffic lights
    3. 3.

      1. A.
        gone beyond
      2. B.
        greatly influenced

      Which might be the best title of the passage?

      1. A.
        Walk and don't Talk
      2. B.
        Prevention of Distraction

        Look both ways while crossing the street

    There is no doubt that music plays a powerful role in our lives. It can calm our tired nerves after a busy day of work. Music even has the power to move us to tears when it stirs(激起) an emotional reaction. How then, does music play a role in special education?
    If music has the ability to touch those hidden places we all carry inside, it proves an important tool for the special education teacher. For students with emotional problems, music can help soothe(抚慰) sadness. Consider the child that arrives in class depressed and upset. If music can indeed relax and calm him, he is more likely to focus and participate in class.
    Dr. R. Joseph, author of Behavioral Neurology, writes, “It is well recorded that patients with left hemisphere(大脑半球) damage, who may be unable to speak or recognize words, can sing a melody(曲调).”
    For this reason, some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music. When students cannot understand or remember certain things, singing them helps make it easier.
    Nature magazine reported “Music training helps underachievers. In Rhode Island, researchers studied eight public school first grade classes. Half of the classes became ‘text-arts’groups, receiving ongoing music training. After seven months, the students were given a test. The tested group had caught up with their fellow students in reading and surpassed(超过) their classmates in math by 22 percent. In the second year of the project, the tested students widened this even further. Students were also tested on attitude and behavior. Classroom teachers also noted improvement in these areas.”
    It seems music does, indeed, play an important role in education. For the special education teacher, this is especially encouraging

      1. A.

    2. 2.

      For students with emotional problems, music might be _______

      1. A.
        a toy
      2. B.
        a punishment
      3. C.
        a medicine
      4. D.
        a puzzle
    3. 3.

      According to Dr. R. Joseph, people with left hemisphere damage _______

        The history of music education

    I remembered that when I was a little child, I used to look for Sunday of the week. Yes, I was so looking forward to an adventure.
    Now, I still have a strong affinity for buses. I used to wonder where those gigantic (巨大的) buses finally stopped. On sunshine Sundays, that’s my adventure times. He took me to the bus stop. Time passed, while I was growing impatient, he was smiling, as he always does.
    It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today. I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us. I waved my hands so high with all my strength. I looked hopefully at him. He didn’t move at all. He was still standing. It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn’t any trouble to him at all.
    He took my hand. We managed to find seats on the upper deck. I was so excited. Only sitting beside the windows made me happy. Looking at the rewinding buildings, streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun. Then, he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop. I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him.[www.zxxk.com]
    That is me. I know now. I am all he cares. He wants me to be happy, as he always does. That’s the strong bond between father and son. Childhood, naive(天真)  and precious, you showed me the world and the way I look at the world. I am so grateful for your presence in my life. Thanks, you are so wonderful!

    There are little cars that may some day take the place of today’s automobiles(汽车). If everyone drives such a little car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air, there will be more parking space in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. The space now for one car of the usual size can hold at least three such little cars.
    The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.
    The cars of the future will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be useful for going far away. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one battery for the motor and the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信号灯), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas.
    If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones

    1. 1.

      What’s the advantage (优势) of the small cars?

      1. A.
        There won’t be so much pollution and the small cars won’t be so expensive as the big ones
      2. B.
        It will be safer to drive these small cars
      3. C.
        There will be more space for cars to park
      4. D.
        All of the above

        prevent car accidents
      2. B.
        make the city more beautiful
      3. C.
        let small cars run fast
      4. D.
        limit the speed of the cars
    3. 3.

      Which of the following is true according to the passage?

      1. A.
        A car of the usual size now is three times as big as the small car
      2. B.
        The small car with a speed of 65 kilometers an hour is much more useless than a car of the usual size
      3. C.
        the little car will be safer but cost more
      4. D.
        The little car will need more gas

    "USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?" We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.
    It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.
    But there are problems that should be considered(考虑). Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
    Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
    Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
    We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal(金牌) at the Athens Olympics.

    Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone as a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
    The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose wish is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S, Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no hope at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.
    After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there
