My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 21 those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again 22 at the pier (码头) waving good-bye to my father as his 23 pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of 24 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of
25 in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing 26 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my 27 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 28 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the 29 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.
30 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, 31 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 32 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 33 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability (无能) to 34 a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 35 into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a
chance to 36 another part of the world. My mo ther greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a 37 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 38 pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 39 attitude.She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so 40 all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my
hero.

Smiles
It amazed me ------every time I saw Joe he was smiling ．It didn’t matter whether he had to 36 at a stop light , or if he were the seventh person in 37 at the bank , and the teller closed her window just 38 he got there ．Joe always smiled ．It made me wonder why he always seemed so 39
Having observed Joe with other people , I also noticed something else ．Joe 40 people how they were doing , and really seemed to listen to their answers ．He was 41 if someone was hurt , and had kind words , and 42 to help in any way he could．
It made me think ……what if I tried to smile more ? An 43 of sorts began when I went to a grocery store ．I 44 as I went up and down the aisles( 过道)…… and people I didn’t even 45 smiled back at me ．Some even 46 ! The little kid in the cart who was giving his mother a 47 time saw me smile and stopped talking…and , you guessed it --- he made a little 48 attempt at a smile ．The man in the handicapped cart 49 a person to reach something…… I could get that for him ．The smile even 50 to him , and he thanked me and smiled at me ．
As I 51 home, I was smiling ．I thought about what I had just 52 , and when someone passed my car and gave me a gesture , I smiles at him ．He looked 53 ．Now I know a smile is a 54 thing , but what if we were all to try to smile a few more times each day ? I couldn’t believe how great I felt． 55 in my life had changed ---but maybe it had ．For what I learned was that such a small thing could lift not only my spirits, but those around me as well ．

What is Math Anxiety?
Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite 36 to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer 37 ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of 38 the lines? Fear of being judged 39 ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures(使现出) up fear of some type. The fear that one won't be able to do the 40 or the fear that it's too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of 41 . For the most part, math anxiety is the 42 about doing the math right, our minds draw a 43 and we think we'll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the 44 the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety to grow for many students.
Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?
Usually math anxiety stems(起源于) from 45 experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias(恐慌症) have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often 46 poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math 47 . Many of the students I've encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much 48 , the math is quickly forgotten and 49 soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept —the division of fractions(分数). You probably learned about reciprocals(倒数) and inverses. In other words, ‘It’s not yours to reason why, just invert(反转) and multiply(乘)’. Well, you memorized the rule and it 50 . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone ever use pizzas or math manipulative(巧妙处理的) to show you why it works? If 51 , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures —52 if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good 53 will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students 54 they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important 55 to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面： 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。 那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点： 1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读

高考英语完形填空考试解 题三大角度 完形填空题型有着极为深远的理论背景。在19世纪物理学重大发现“场理论”的启发下，德国心理学家柯勒等人提出了“格式塔心理学”，强调人类认知过程中的宏观性和整体性。1953年，美国语言学家Wilson Taylor基于上述理论，首次提出完形填空这种题型，旨在测试考生利用已知信息恢复不完整语言材料的自然倾向强度，进而考查考生的语言能力。 作为选拔性考试，高考必须具有较高信度、效度和必要的区分度以及一定的难度。完形填空的重点在于综合考查考生的词汇和语法等基础知识以及阅读和写作等语言运用能力，正好满足了高考的需求。自从1987年首次出现在高考英语试卷中以来，完形填空题型历来都属于高考英语中能力要求最高、试题难度最大的一类题型。
研究历年的各套高考完形填空题，可以从具体的题目之中看出该题型中若干对我们解题非常有帮助的共同特点： 一、从所选文章的角度 体裁上，以叙为主，叙议结合。高考完形填空题的选材多为具有一定故事情节的记叙文或是叙议结合、以叙为主、富有哲理的论说文，这是和高考考生的语言水平紧密结合的。高考是各级各类英语测试中相对较简单的一种，因而采取了常见体裁中较简单的记叙文作为题目载体。因此，短文一般按照时间线索行文，内部逻辑清晰层次分明。 题材上，选用真实世界中的语言材料，考查考生使用语言进行信息获取和社会交际的能力，对心理问题、校园生活、奇闻轶事等热点话题继续关注，并兼顾高考的公平性原则，不涉及特定地域或人群色彩较浓的不具有一般性的话题。
难度上，基本与现行高三教材相当。字数上，完形填空短文词数在240——320之间。 二、从所挖空格的角度 首先，该题型所选短文一般无标题，但首句通常不设空，目的是让考生熟悉语言环境，迅速进入主题，对文章有宏观和整体性的把握，建立正确的思维导向。正文中通常挖去20个词，平均每14词挖一个空格，通常不会出现两个空格前后相连或同一句子挖空超过三个的情况。 其次，挖去的词汇以实词为主，虚词为辅。语言分为形式和内容两方面，而完形填空题多重视考查语言的内容，这是与承载具体信息的实词紧密相关的。在高考对具体语法规则不断淡化的趋势下，常与语言形式即具体语法条目相关的虚词数量不断下降，目前仅在3个空格左右。

高考英语完形填空专项训练 一、考点分析 根据德国学者J·Trier的理论，“词可以在一个共同概念的支配下结合在一起形成一个语义场”。语义场中词与词之间的语义关系是相互依存的。意义上相关的词汇出现在同一语篇中，构成以某一话题为中心的词汇链。简言之，任何一篇文章必然是围绕一个话题来论述的，因此，行文中词语的同现或复现现象就不可避免。词汇的复现现象具体指的是某一个词以原词、词形变化后的词、同义词、近义词、反义词、上义词、下义词等形式重复出现在语篇中。根据这个原则，某个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现的相关词，同学们可以依据这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。现在就以高考真题为例来为同学们呈现如何利用词汇复现规律这一技巧帮助我们在完形填空中做出正确选择。 If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them.

First Impression To help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’ s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened. As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.
