US for 17 years,I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.I was shocked when the monitor shouted,stand up!The entire class rose as I entered the room and I was somewhat puzzled about how to get them to sit down again,but once the embarrassment(尴尬)was over,I quickly regained my calmness and admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement.My students kept diaries.However,as I read them,the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said,Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today.Perhaps her next lecture will be better.Greatly surprised,I read diary after diary,each expressing a similar theme.Didnt I teach them anything?I described the entire Western philosophy(哲学)and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class.I complained.How should they say I didnt teach them anything?It was a long term,and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students.I thought a teachers job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions.My students thought a teachers job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!However,I also learned a lot,and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a 第 4 页 共 8 页 better American teacher,knowing how to teach in a different culture.36.We can know that on the first day the writer _.A.felt she didnt teach them much B.was very confident in her students C.felt very confident in herself at first D.was disappointed at her students performance 37.At the beginning of the lesson,the writer got puzzled because of _.A.cultural differences B.students admiration C.students embarrassment D.the same experience 38.The writer learnt from their diaries that the students wanted to _.A.raise interesting questions B.know about background C.draw their own conclusions D.know more exact facts 39.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The writer got used to the life in China.B.The writer doubted about her ability of teaching.C.The writer had taught in many western countries.D.The writer became better at teaching foreign students.B CHINA Coal mines claim(使失踪)more lives A COAL mine blast(爆炸)in Jixi,He Longjiang,left more than 100 miners dead on Thursday.Ten mines in Jixi were ordered to stop production.The government has tried to shut down thousands of small,illegal(非法的)mines in the country that do not meet safety standards(标准).MIDDLE EAST Bombers continues to kill PALESTINIANS killed 32 Israelis in three major attack between Tuesday and Thursday.There were two suicide bombing(自杀性爆炸)and a militant(武装的)attack on Jewish settlement.They led to one of the highest Israeli death tolls(死亡人数)in such a short period over the last two years.CHINA Young people stand tall The average height of Chinese young people has risen by 6 centimeters compared to that of 20 years ago.This year far exceeds(超过)the words average growth speed.A survey on health conducted by a panel(调研组)of Chinese students found the results.According to the world average level,youths get taller by 1 cm every 10 years.CANADA Talking about world issue(援助)The Group of Eight(G8)the US,Japan,Germany,Britain,France,Italy,Canada and Russia 第 5 页 共 8 页-will hold a summit(峰会)on June 26 and 27 in Kananaskis,Canada.The G8 are the richest and most powerful countries in the world.G8 leaders and some African presidents will discuss strengthening global economic growth and helping Africa.Kofi Annan,United Nations Secretary General,will also

poor African countries.B.To make these eight countries much more powerful.C.To help some African president to strengthen their economic growth.D.Kofi Annan will have an important speech on world issues.C Its common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university.Even parents who dont speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because its the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your childs world.As a parent youll probably continue to support your child in different ways,but the main job of raising your child is over.Its a huge change for everyone involved.There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier.Plan carefully for your childs departure and think about how you can help.Many parents take their child to university for the first time.If you decide to do that,be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye.Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye but that might not show.Be positive and cheerful about the choice the child has made to continue studying,and plan to leave once youve unpacked the car and looked around your childs new living accommodations.If you can,save your tears for the car-youll make things easier on your child and yourself.The more youve invested in being a parent,the more youll feel a sense of loss,so the sadness you feel now is a sign that youve been a good mom or dad.Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you.If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself,you should congratulate yourself.Its also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve（悲痛）.Dont expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away.But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time.Perhaps youve always wanted to learn a new language,go to yoga classes or take up swimming.You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends,who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves,and stick to your 第 6 页 共 8 页 agreement.Try not to panic if your child doesnt respond immediately remember,theyre starting a new and busy life.43.Why do parents feel sad when their child leaves home for college?A.Because the absence of their child makes them feel lonely.B.Because their children will start a new life in college.C.Because it means the end of love between parents and their child.D.Because they are no longer the main focus of their childrens life.44.The underlined word wrench in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of _.A.sorrow B.regret C.anger D.love 45.What does good parenting consist of?A.Supporting your child in different ways all the time.B.Congratulating yourself when your child goes to college.C.Preparing your child to stand on their own feet in the future.D.Investing as much as possible in the growth of your child.46.Whats NOT advised as the way to recover from your childs departure?A.Developing a new hobby or sport.B.Learning a new language.C.Spending more time with close friends.D.Staying in touch with your child.47.What would be an appropriate title for the whole passage?A.Staying in Touch with Your Child B.Preparing to Say Goodbye to Your Child C.Dealing with Your Child Leaving Home for University D.Life after Your Child Has Left Home for University D Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are theyll say,Success.The dream of individual opportunity has been present in America since Europeans discovered The New World in the Western Hemisphere.Early immigrants like Hector St.Jean de Crevecoeur highly praised the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land.His enthusiastic descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers.In Letters from an American Farmer(1782)he wrote,We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered（无拘无束的）and unrestrained,because each person works for himself We have no princes,for whom we toil（干苦力活）,starve,and bleed.We are the most perfect society now existing in the world.The promise of a land where the rewards of a mans industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion into the western lands.Our national historical story is full of illustration of the American success story.For instance,Benjamin Franklin was the very model of the self-educated,self-made man,who rose from modest origins to become a well-known scientist,philosopher,and statesman.In the nineteenth century,Horatio Alger,a writer of fiction for young boys,became Americans best-selling author 第 7 页 共 8 页 with his rags-to-riches tales.The idea of success impressed us:we spend millions every year reading about the rich and famous,learning how to make a fortune in real estate（房地产）with no money down,and dressing for success.The story of success has even affected our personal relationships:today its as important to be successful in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business.But dreams easily turn into nightmares.Every American who hopes to make it also knows the fear of failure,because the story of success implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots,the stars and the unknown crowd.Under pressure of the story,we become lost in status symbols:we try to live in the right neighborhoods,wear the right clothes,and eat the right foods.These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equal
