These were teens and adults up to the age of 40. We learned new steps together. We laughed together and we shared a love of music and fellowship. I had one pupil, Dan, who didnt appear to get much out of the class. I never had eye contact with him. When I left the class to travel down the stairs to reach the main floor of the building, he moved worriedly as a blind person might do in unfamiliar condition. One day his parents met me shopping downtown and told me that they were so grateful that I was teaching the class. They said that my class was the high point of their sons week. Were they just being polite? A week later, a snowstorm held me up and I was later than usual pulling into the school parking lot. Ahead of me by one row of cars, and over to one side, was my student, Dan and his worker. I could see his face as he moved toward the building. He was excited. I watched Dan run toward the building in anticipation of（期待着）his weekly treat, my class. I cried as it hit me that though I could not see in class all that Dan got from the class, it surely meant a lot to him. Dan did indeed love the class. He was getting enjoyment out of it. Today when I teach courses at the College to students, I remind them that children can stand on the sidelines and seem to be uninterested and yet they can be learning at the same pace as those who are in the middle of the activity. When I teach this, I think, yes and this is true for those with disabilities too! Teach with the wonderful enthusiasm and you are bound to reach your students. Do your job with a love for others and you will be successful no matter what your job involves.21. The writer found her working with disabilities _. A. boring B. confusing C. satisfying D. challenging22. The writer has learned from Dan that _. A. a teacher is sure to reach his studentsB. kids with disabilities need more loveC. students learn in different waysD. a students makes achievements out of a class23. What can we learn from the passage? A. The writer was doubtful when hearing what Dans parents said.B. Dan didnt get much out of the dancing class.C. Dan received more attention in the writers class.D. The writer was impatient with Dan at first.24. What may be the best title for the passage? A. A student with disability B. Learning with DanC. Enjoying a lesson with children D. Sharing love with studentsBDennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a “gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.“Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton, N, J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential American market for gap years as a “sleeping giant.”“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” said Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine “assured the reasons I went into health care,” said Dr. Sinar, who returned to practice medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “And I listen better than I did before.”George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University, certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.25. Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he _.A. had lost his old jobB. wanted to refresh after 26 years workC. had a desire for travellingD. became interested in historical research26. The phrase “sleeping giant” (in 2nd paragraph) indicates that _. A. its too early for people to accept the concept of gap yearB. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seenC. its difficult to foresee the gap year marketD. more American people will accept the gap year policy27. Whats George Garritans attitude toward the “gap year”?A. Positive.B. DoubtfulC. Uninterested.D. Uncertain.28. Whats the passage mainly about? A. How an adult plans a mid-career gap year. B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults.D. Why a gap year is challenging for individuals.CIf you want to express something so unbelievable that it must have been a special effect, you have a new word to add to your vocabulary. Its “Duang”, an onomatopoetic (拟声词) word which doesnt relate to any particular Chinese character and refers to a special effect. A video parody (恶搞) adapted from a shampoo commercial featuring Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan spread quickly online, leading Internet users to invent the new word. The video begins with Chan flashing his black, smooth hair, which would have been perfect except that it was not his real hair. Next, a self-satisfied Chan admits, to the repetitive, rhythmical sounds of “Duang”, “I refused to approve of this product when they first came to me because of my thin hair, but the director insisted, saying special effects could be used to make my hair look healthy on the screen. Now you see, its all special effects. Its not real.” The original advertisement became the target of punishment by the government for over- spreading the effects of the shampoo after it was broadcast in 2004. “Duang” has now become one of the hottest topics on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like Chinese social network site among those crazy ones imitating Jackie Chans speech in different situations. The actors Weibo account was flooded with comments containing the word in this sweeping online trend. The video came at a time when the famous movie star has been under public attention after trying to save the ill image of his son, Jaycee Chan, who was released from prison this week. Data from Baidu, the major Chinese search engine, also proved the phrases popularity as it has been searched more than 586,000 times within two days.

We were planning to drive down together to North Carolina to be with my father who was badly ill.As I waited at the stop light experiencing this forced slowdown, I noticed Sharpers Florist over to the left. It was the same place where I had experienced many things floods of memories went through my mind as the light seemed a blessing. I noticed the wine store straight ahead where my father and I had been many times before, picking out the beer of the week. We both liked German beer.The light finally became green and I made my left turn and drove through the poor section of our hometown. I remembered how each thanksgiving my family would be together. I also remembered how my father would take some time out of each thanksgiving to make sure there was no one hungry in the neighborhoods surrounding where we lived. I can remember as a young boy going with him to deliver some food. I was scared. I had never been into this part of town this deeply before.My father seemed unfazed (不受困扰的) by this and went about his business. The people we went to seemed to know him and gratefully accepted what he came to offer. My father seemed able to give away the food in a way that honored those he was giving to. This was not an arrogant act. He would stop at each place and talk a little, which I can remember totally pissing me off (使厌烦). I wanted to get the hell out of there. My father wanted to be sure everyone had food. If there were people he found who didnt have food, he would take the time to go back and get more. Thats the kind of man he was.32.

Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good mariners yourself doesnt give
