Before long

17、, the entire class was smiling. “Really?” she heard whispered. “I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!” and, “I didnt know others liked me so much,” were most of the comments.No one ever mentioned those papers in class again.

19、nd father were waiting there, “We want to show you something,” his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket, “They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.”The teacher carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and

20、 refolded many times.

25、ork on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help.

26、 doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them.

31、, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.As a writer,

32、I know about winning contests and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesnt win the contest again? Thats the

33、strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Dont you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent we

34、eks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them.

35、y “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools

36、 or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting my daughters experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if

37、 asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.32What do we learn from the first paragraph?AA lot of amusements compete for childrens time nowadays.BChildren have lots of fun doing mindless activities.CRebecca is much too busy t

40、ontest.35The underlined sentence probably means that the author was _.Atrying not to let her daughter enjoy her own lifeBtrying to get her daughter to do the thing as the author wishedCmaking sure that her daughter would win the contestDhelping her daughter develop real skills for writing 第二节 (共5小题；
