题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 36 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 37 right to our children.
When I see a child 38 to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third grader. His 39 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 40 answered questions — he might be wrong.
I tried my best to build his 41. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned （安排）to our classroom.
She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, 42 her.
One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 43 the problems with painstaking neatness. Pleased with his progress, I 44 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 45 . He’d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 46. From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.
"Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling beside him and gently 47 the tear?stained face from his arms. "I’ve got something to48 you." She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
"See these 49 , Donnie," she continued. "They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 50 ? That’s because we make mistakes too.But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you 51 learn to do, too."
She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said, "I’ll leave one of these pencils on 52 desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 53 teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
The pencil became Donnie’s 54 possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 55 him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.

Mary’s parents always 40 their alarm clock for seven o’clock so that none of them would be 41 .

Writer and power chair adventurer Mary Laver has not walked for twenty years. Yet the cheerful and positive 60 year old is not only refusing to let her disability get her down ---- she is also planning to cross the length of Britain in a power wheelchair.
Getting ready for the trip is not easy. She has already run into many problems - not least officials and organizations who view her as a health and safety risk. One police officer wrote to Mary requesting:
1. The proposed route through our area with road numbers.
2. The dates and times each day that this will be taking place.
3. The location details of the proposed overnight stops.
4. The names and mobile phone contact details of the Support Crew.
Another police officer asked her to travel off road! As Mary told me, this was unacceptable - as a power wheelchair user with limited movement she needs to be "gettable".
There are other problems in her way though - she is, after all, in her 60’s and has severe rheumatoid arthritis(风湿性关节炎). However, unlike many other people with arthritis, she is no longer in pain.
"When you are in a power chair and it is going at eight miles an hour, believe me it feels fast … to me it is the Formula One(一级方程式赛车) chair of electric wheelchairs."
At the end of the interview, I asked Mary if she had a message for any other power chair users who wanted to do a challenge, and her reply was simple："Just do it!"
What is Mary Laver planning to do？
A. Travel to write a power wheelchair adventure.
B. Travel across Britain in a power wheelchair.
C. Prove she can do what a man can in driving.
D. Try a fast Formula One power chair sport.
Why did a police officer write to Mary requesting the four points?
A. He tried to stop her. B. Mary’s adventure is valueless.
C. The power chair is too fast. D. He wanted to ensure her safety.
The underlined word “She needs to be gettable” in the passage probably means “_______”
A. She’ll have a try whatever difficulties she may have.
B. A road for a power wheelchair user is a must for her.
C. Mary has to jump off her wheelchair once on the road.
D. With rheumatoid arthritis, she need some field help.
When Mary said “Just do it !” at the end of the interview, she meant “_______”
A. Be brave though disabled. B. Fear no challenges at all.
C. Take action right away. D. Make it whoever you are.
— Mary, let’s go to the lecture by Hawking, which is said to be very interesting.

A. can B.
may
