15．Children with learning disabilities （LD） often have problems．For many，strong （36）A of anger，shame，sadness，or disappointrnent can  （37）B psychological difficulties such as anxiety，depression or low self-esteem．These problems can be far more than the （38）D challenges themselves．
Several heading experts in the field of I，D have offered suggestions on ways to help （39）B children from these problems．
To be most eflective in supporting（40）A，it can help to understand some prinary （41）C for the psychological and cmotional challenges they may face．
First，it is not difficult to see （42）A children with LD are at greater risk for developing psychological difficulties if on consklers the repeated faihre they （43）A．Althought they make efforts to"try harder，"children with LD may receive little （44）D feedhack（反馈）．Their acadernie struggles and failures are often met with （45）C by teachers，peers and parents．Such disapproral can take the form of unpleasant labeling（标签）of a child （46）B"slow，""lazy"or"dumb．"（47）Bdeveloping a sense of pride in their accomplishments．Children with LD may （48）D in disappointraent and sheme．Low self-cateem and a lack of confidenee onlyA（49）A prvent learning and academic success．
The second reason is the （50）Adifficulties they often experience．Research indicates that as many as 75% of kids with LD have such（51）D as making and keeping friends．Children with LD are less（52）D and often rejecred by their peers．Teachers and other adults also may（53）A to have negative views of them．Such sojal rejection can tesult in （54）Cof self-esteem and feelings of loneliness．Which．（55）D．may lead to psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depression．

14．Bowen was grown-up，and for his birthday that year his father gave him a（31）Bwithout any pictures in it!
Bowen's father found he was not（32）Cabout it，and told him，"Son，this isn't just any（33）Abook； it's a magic （有魔力的） book．But to discover its magic you'll have to（34）Cit．"
Well，that was better．Bowen liked（35）Bto do with magic．He started reading it，（36）Ahe wasn't very willing to．
The next morning，his（37）Basked him，"Have you found the magic（38）A？"
So…there was a key to find!Bowen flicked through （快速翻阅） the book，but there was no（39）Cof the key．
And then his father（40）Chim，"You won't find it like that．You have to read the book．"
Bowen didn't have much patience （耐心），thinking his father just told a（41）D．A little later，his little sister，Rainer，asked him（42）Athe book．After several days，she（43）Bshouted，"I've found the key!"And she wouldn't stop（44）Call the places she had visited using the magic key．
This made Bowen read the book again．At first it was a（45）D； there wasn't even one single（46）Bin the book．But，gradually，Bowen became（47）Athe adventurous （冒险的） prince's life．Then，suddenly，he was there．

13．Some people will do just about anything to save money．And I am one of them．My family's last vacation was a good （1）D to prove it．It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school，and we were （2）B home from Fort Lauderdale after a week-long trip．The flight was  （3）A，and Delta，the airline，offered us﹩400per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day．I had meetings in New York，so I had to （4）C．But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay．I took my nine-month-old and took off for home．
The next day，my husband and son were offered more （5）B to take an even later flight．Yes，I encouraged-okay，ordered-them to wait it out at the （6）D，to"earn"more Delta Dollars．Our total take：﹩1，600．Not bad，huh？

12．Around the world more and more people are（36）Bdangerous sports and activities．Of course there have always been people who have（37）Cadventure--those who have climbed the（38）Bmountains，explored unknown parts of the world or（39）Ain small boats across the greatest oceans．Now，however，there are people who look for an immediate pleasure from a（40）Dactivity which may only last a few minutes or even（41）B．
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity．You（42）A  from a high place about 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope（43）Bto your ankles．You （44）Cat up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from （45）Dthe ground．It is said that 2 million people around the world have now（46）Abungee jumping．Other activities，（47）Bmost people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping，（48）Bjumping from tall buildings and （49）Cinto the sea from the top of high rocks．
Why do people take part in such activities as these？Some psychologists（心理学家） suggest that it is because life in（50）Bsocieties has become safe and boring．Not very long ago，people's lives were constantly under（51）C．They had to go out and hunt for（52）B，and life was a continuous battle for survival．
Nowadays，according to many people，life offers（53）Bexcitement．They live and work in relatively safe condition； they buy food in shops； and there are doctors and hospitals to（54）Dthem if they become ill．The answer for some of these people is to（55）Adanger in activities such as bungee jumping．

Compared with（38）Aforms of writing，it is shorter and（39）Bless time．It can help us to（40）Dthe habit of thinking in English．（41）Bwe persist in （坚持） this practice，gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English．In keeping a diary in English，（42）Dcan use the important phrases and sentences we've（43）Ain or out of English classes to describe our（44）B，and this way we can master and use freely（45）Cwe've learned，which will do good（46）Aus in English learning．But（47）Dwe certainly run up against many difficulties．In the first place，it often happens that we have（48）Cfinding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind．Secondly，there（49）Cmany idiomatic（惯用的） ways of saying things in Chinese．And it is extremely hard for us to put them（50）B English properly．

*Be aware that people have different ways of talking．Each person has a different（47）Bof tone，rhyme，timing and how（48）Bof a pause is normal in a conversation．Watch for people who seem left（49）A．If you feel you are doing all the talking，hold back to give others a（50）D．If you feel you aren't getting a chance to speak，try pushing yourself to start（51）A．
*People sometimes get upset on big festivals（52）Bthey stay too long in the apartment．Some families find that gatherings go more （53）Dif they plan for some fun（54）B．So why not get a breath of fresh air？Going to a park for a walk or taking a trip to the zoo may be more（55）Cthan just sitting around inside．

Well，it started out being a teacher or a hero． （43）A it was a fireman，an artist …As I grew older my dreams of the future（44）B．When I was going to college，I was asked，"What will you major in？"，another question（45）B to find out what I would be when I grew up．

7．All through high school，students dream of McDonald's for lunch instead of school lunches．（36）C，they don't have that opportunity here．They have to （37）Awhat the school has provided for them．In my opinion，they deserve to have lunches outside of the school．
By （38）Dteens to spend lunchtime outside，the school could save a lot of money，which could be used to （39）A more school programs．As we know，school lunches are subsidized（补贴）by the government．That's why food in school is sold （40）A．If students are able to go outside at noon，the school will spend less money on the （41）Bprogram．And the school can use the money saved for （42）Cthings，such as sports equipment or new books．
If students are able to have lunch outside of the school，they will get more （43）Dabout how the real world works．If they stand in a cafeteria line every day，they won't have the（44）D to get involved in wider society．Students，（45）C those who are about to graduate，need to know what to expect when they're on their own．Eating outside makes it possible for them to （46）Bmore of the outside world．
It is （47）A for the school to place more trust in teens．They should be trusted enough to eat out and （48）Con time．School officials argue that they're making sure children are （49）Bby keeping them in school since they're worried that something （50）Dmight happen to children．Of course，lunch rush can be （51）A，especially if teens race outside and back to school at the expected time．But the students are now （52）Cenough to be responsible for their own behavior．All teens have been taught to （53）Droad rules when they are outside alone．
（54）B，the school should let students go outside for lunch．It gives students a sense of （55）Band responsibility，and they deserve to be trusted．

6．Perhaps you're someone who （41）B all of your dolls，action figures，and stuffed animals in front of a mini-chalkboard when you were a kid．You read to them and taught them how to solve math problems．Maybe when older，you became an after-school （42）A and thought，"Hey，I'd like to do that full-time．"
The （43）B to become a teacher hits some people when they're young while （44）Bbecome teachers later in life．（45）C you want to study to be a teacher right out of high school or you （46）A from another career into teaching，the best teachers （47）D a few things in common．Of course，teachers have to have （48）B an undergraduate degree，and many districts require teachers to （49）D a graduate teaching degree．Many school districts have begun requiring a master's degree．However，（50）C education，good teachers also display some common （51）C that help to inspire and motivate their students．
Some teachers prefer to teach in a very structured style （52）A others prefer assigning group work，encouraging class discussions，and letting students do independent projects．Both types of teachers can be very well-organized as long as they have a reason for （53）C they do and they've carefully planned their lessons．If you're good at making material not only fun but memorable and if you can （54）B it in a brief way，then you probably have the organizational skills to become a teacher．
Great teachers know the （55）D that they teach inside and out．They can explain the history，current development，and （56）B trends of the subjects．Also，they understand the basic theories of their fields．Elementary school teachers need to have a（n） （57）A of various subjects，while middle school and high school teachers usually focus on a （58）C subject area and they develop in-depth knowledge of that subject．
If you decide to become a teacher，you should （59）C yourself to learning everything that you can while in high school and college．You also should develop good study habits that （60）D you to remember information about your field．
