People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community.

25、I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed

26、into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.“No,” I said.“We are going to volunteer at a childrens shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she

27、explained.When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldnt stop crying. The majority of t

28、he children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and no

29、dded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be gratef

30、ul for what I had. Today as I strive to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget. 51. The author admired her mom for _. A. her kindness to others B. her excellent teaching C. her quality of honesty D. her positive attitude

31、 to life52. According to Paragraph 3, when she was asked to go out with her mom, the author was _. A. excited B. angry C. surprisedD. worried53.

32、uffered from mental illness54. The underlined word “reinforcement” in the passage is closest in meaning to “_”. A. truthB. helpC. comfortD. support55. What lesson did the author learn from her experience? A. To value what you take for granted.B. To play with children is fun. C. To love others is to

33、love yourself.D. To do as what your parents do.(B)An experiment was carried out at British school into the performance of new pupils. At the start of the year, the pupils were each given a rating, ranging from “excellent prospect” to “unlikely to do well”. These were totally untrue ratings and did n

34、ot reflect how well the pupils had previously performed. However, these ratings were given to the teachers. At the end of the year, the experimenters compared the pupils performance with the ratings. Despite their real abilities, there was an astonishingly high connection between performance and rat

35、ings. It seems that people perform as well as we expect them to.The Self-fulfilling Effect is also known as the Pygmalion Effect. This comes from an old Greek story. The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaws play “Pygmalion”, later turned into the musical “My Fair Lady”. In Shaws play, Pr

36、ofessor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle into a duchess. But, as Eliza herself points out to Higgins friend Pickering, it isnt what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess, but how shes treated.The implication (含义) of the Pygmalion

37、Effect for leaders and managers is massive. It means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you. The performance you get from people is no more or less than what you expect, which means you must always expect the best. As Goethe said, “Treat a man as he is and he will

38、 remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”56. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “_”.

According to the Pygmalion Effect, if you want a man to finish a hard task in a short time, you should say, “_”. A. Im sure y

41、ou can make itB. I will help you any time C. It is as easy as pieD. It doesnt matter if you fail(C)Future history books might record that we were robbed of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we fail to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a birds-eye view of

42、 the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, you are moving so quickly that you do not see the countryside clearly. Car drivers are forever thinking about going on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the great motorways that attr

43、act them, or what?And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: “I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.” You mention the place names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul and someone is sure to say “Ive been th

44、ere” meaning, “I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved,

45、is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend (终止) all experience; the present stops being a reality: you might just as well be dead.The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: h

46、e arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his cars and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers. 61. What does the author think of

48、 of seeing the world B. joining the navy can realize our dreams C. travelling by sea hardly helps us enjoy the scenery D. what he gained after joining the navy63. Why does “the present” mean “nothing” when we travel at high speeds? A. Because we change our aims all the time. B. Because we are eager

49、to go to another place. C. Because we are looking forward to the future life. D. Because we cannot enjoy the experience we have had.64. What will the author most probably advise us to do? A. To go hiking in the mountain.B. To travel at a high speed. C. To travel by car or train. D. To go around the

50、world.65. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Different travelersB. The use of eyes C. Ways of travelingD.
