My name is Mrs. Murray. I am replacing your regular teacher, she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. “I will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months.The children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected.“Come on, someone say something, she thought nervously. The children were too quiet.“This probably wont last long, she thought, smiling kindly at them. Grade Three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. “If you have problems, please come to me. I will help you.The children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke.“How can I get them to accept me? she wondered. Suddenly, she had an idea.“Your first homework will be to write a new song. To make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for Valentines Day. The winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party.The children looked amazed, but pleased.“You may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrument.As if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly.“A love song? a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher. “We each have to write one, said a dark haired girl, “We never had to do that before.“And perform it too! a red haired boy responded, laughing aloud. “I love it! Me, sing a love song? “Want to know what the first prize will be?Immediately, every hand in the room went up.Mrs. Murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica口琴.“What do you think of this? She waited.“I am also a music teacher, so I will be able to help you write your new love songs. added Mrs. Murray, smiling at her new students. Obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class. 56. The children remained silent at the beginning because _.they missed their former teacherthey were surprised at the situation they didnt know the teachers namethey were not allowed to speak in class57. We can learn from the passage that _. children in the class liked to write their own love songsmost children in the class were good at performing musicit was the prize that made the students accept their new teacherthe students in this class are not as active as other Grade Three students58. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Murray?Kind and curious. Helpful and clever.Faithful and honest.Patient and humorous. B Why do so many of us watch birds with great interest? Perhaps the easiest answer is that birds seem to be the commonest, most attractive and easiest observed wildlife around us. No matter where you are, at home, on a mountain-top, in mid-ocean or deep in a city, there are birds around for you to watch. When you go birdwatching, you should always make sure that your clothes are suitable for the weather and for the habitat you are visiting. As a general rule, it is better to pack a little too much clothing than risk getting cold and wet. In really hot weather, a hat of some sort is sensible. For cooler weather, a practical outfit would be jeans, a roll-neck sweater. Dont worry about the equipment while birdwatching. It is perfectly possible to see and enjoy birds without any special equipment, but a whole new world opens up to you once you have your first binoculars. Distant birds stop being little dots against the sky or water, and take on shapes and colours, and feathers of bird will have a real beauty of their own. Binoculars allow you to identify birds correctly, and give you a wonderful chance to spy on them going about their daily lives. However, never look directly at the sun using binocular, because direct sunlight can hurt the eye. Using binoculars is one way to bring birds closer to you, but another way of improving your birdwatching is to get nearer to them. If wild creatures dont know you are close to them, they will continue to behave naturally, and perhaps pass close by you. Fortunately, birds have no sense of smell-so we dont have to worry about the wind blowing our scent to them and frightening them. But all birds have good eyesight, much better than ours. Birds also have good hearing: their lives and their ability to find food depend on these senses. So what does the birdwatcher need to do? Always move about quietly, do not give the birds advance warning of your arrival or they will move away. Do your best to avoid sudden movement. Always remember to put the birds interests first. When you have finished looking, dont just stand up and walk away, scaring birds in all directions. 59. The underlined word “binoculars refers to _. something that can protect your eyesglasses used for looking at distant objectbooks on birds of different shapes and coloursspecial equipment for birdwatcher to keep warm60. Why does the birdwatcher have to move quietly? Because birds dont like to make any noise.Because birds are unable to see slow movement.Because birds can smell mans scent if he moves quickly. Because birds may hear the sound of the sudden movement. 61. According to the passage, what does a birdwatcher need to do?Keep a certain distance from birdsBring a little more clothes with himBehave naturally while watching birdsTake interest in the birds he is watchingC A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable (能胜任的) of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties(机能), or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate(评价) of his ability. Older people may be handicapped(阻碍) by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age. A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which shows this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic？ He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try，and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected. One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected (refused) the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His newfound confidence encouraged him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic.This experience made him realize that m
