18、s.

I was somewhat 40 how I could get

19、them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly 41 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their 42 - perhaps even their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow （满面红光）which came from a sense of 43 .All my students 44 diarie

20、s. However, as I read their diaries, the rosy glow was gradually 45 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. Her next lecture will 46 be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 47 theme. “Didnt I teach

21、them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 48 for all the works well study in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didnt 49 them anything?”After a long term, I gradually learned that my ideas about 50 were not the same as those of

22、 my students. I thought a teachers job was to 51 questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions, while my students thought a teachers job was to provide 53 information as directly and clearly as possible.

27、of his left arm. “It took my wedding ring. I think it ate the ring up.” He told a newspaper by telephone from his hospital as he recalled his struggle with a man-eating animal.“I took my horse for an evening swim in one of the farm dams. There are lots of crocodiles and hippos （河马）in the area and th

28、ey move around all the time, from dam to dam and into the river and out again. I was on the lookout for hippos and didnt see any. It slipped my mind that there might be-crocodiles,” he said.He was standing in the water about 5 metres away from the shore when he felt a biting jolt（摇晃）in his left hip.

29、 He thought it was a hippo but quickly realized it was a crocodile.“I started to fight immediately. I hit the crocodile with my left arm and then it went for my left forearm. It pulled me under the water for a few seconds. I realized if I didnt stand up my wife would never find me again. What I didn

30、t realize at the time was that the crocodile let me go because it had taken part of my left arm off,” said Pieter.With his right arm, Pieter then grabbed the rope of his horse, which took him to safety. He walked 200 metres to his house and his wife took him to the nearest hospital.“Im lucky I didnt

31、 lose too much blood. The biggest problem with a crocodile bite is that it can be septic （受感染的）. Crocodiles never brush their teeth,” said Pieter.56.

33、many hippos. BAn idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by

34、all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her orig

35、inal program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the

36、first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose

37、 in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting

38、all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom

39、they would not otherwise have shared a word.59. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.60. Why was it difficult for New Y

40、orkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgrounds.D. They lacked support from the local government.61. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large commu

41、nities with little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.62. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean .A. exchanged ideas with each othe

42、rB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experience D. used the same language63. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by .A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the nu
