notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.I m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil,five houses later,the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did.Surely it can t be the same pencil?The pad is more modern,but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.试卷第 6 页，总 12 页“I m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.”I say to her,walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil.“You still use a pencil.Can t you afford a pen?”My mother replies a little sharply.“It works perfectly well.I ve always kept the stand in the kitchen.I never knew when I might want to note down an idea,and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”Immediately I can picture her,hair wild,blue housecoat covered in flour,a wooden spoon in one hand,the pencil in the other,her mouth moving silently.My mother smiles and says,“One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline,and I had a brilliant thought,but the stand was empty.One of the children must have taken the paper.So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”This storywhich happened before I was born reminds me how extraordinary my mother was,and is,as a gifted mathematician.I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work.Later,when my mother is in the bathroom,I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.Sure enough,on the back of the smallest one,are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years,rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard,invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.41Why has the author s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?ATo leave messages.BTo list her everyday tasks.CTo note down maths problems.DTo write down a flash of inspiration.42What is the author s original opinion about the wooden stand?AIt has great value for the family.BIt needs to be replaced by a

trouble.Cnot making good use of time as her mother did.Dnot making any breakthrough in her field.44What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The mother is successful in her career.试卷第 7 页，总 12 页AThe family members like traveling.BThe author had little time to play when young.CThe marks on the breadboard have disappeared.45In thauthor s mind,her mother is_.Astrange in behavior.Bkeen on her research.Cfond of collecting old things.Dcareless about her appearance.The term“graffiti”is an Italian word meaning scratching or scribbling(乱涂).It entered the English language in the 1850s,specifically to describe the casual wall writing that experts found in Pompeii and the Roman tombs.Originally a term used only in ancient scribbling,the word has undergone considerable expansion of meaning in the past 75 years so that it now refers to any written message on a wall.Graffiti are characterized by their casualness;if they were more formal,they would be known as inscriptions(铭文).The first piece of graffiti was found on one of the walls of the city Pompeii,which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 ADIt was one of 1,600 pieces of graffiti uncovered in Pompeii during a dig in the 19th century.Not surprisingly,there is much evidence of graffiti writing on the pyramid and temples of ancient Egypt.It is likely that ever since people have had walls and materials to scratch or paint with,they have been engaged in this simplest form of communication.The writing of graffiti gives people a unique opportunity to achieve some kind of public audience.Thus short poems,declarations of love,pieces of political and revolutionary polemic(论战),and criticisms of institutions and people form a significant part of graffiti.Apart from its usefulness in terms of self-expression,graffiti is also a valuable source for historians.There is always the possibility that historical events may be recorded by the presence of graffiti.Perhaps the most interesting example of this is the graffiti relating to the gladiatorial(角斗士)contests held in Pompeii.Graffiti can also give us a unique view into the daily life and customs of a people,for its casual expression encourages the recording of details that more formal writing would tend to ignore.In the late 1970s,graffiti became popular.A thought written on a toilet wall in Wolverhampton can now be read in Chicago or Adelaide.In its own way,this is probably the most fascinating example of McLuhansconcept of“the global village”.We now have a worldwide toilet wall.试卷第 8 页，总 12 页46According to the

From now on,never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead,realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds,and the power to grow them,are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind.Success is a choice and not a chance.You were born a winner.You 试卷第 9 页，总 12 页were born rich.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem.Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,and thus over your life.People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives.They are the perennial(长期的)victims and martyrs.They are leaves tossed(摇摆)by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.Successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause,we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.One generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people,you are definitely going to achieve success.On the contrary,the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding,planting,and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory,born from setbacks.In short,
