It was a terrible mess with hundreds of booklets all over the 4 in front of me! “Oh no,”I thought.The man got down and started trying to pick all of the booklets up.I couldn’t 5 how many people passed by without even 6 in the least.I thought,“I’m not going to be one of those people.I’m going to help him.” So, 7 it was the end of my lunch break from work and I would be 8 if I stopped to help him,I didn’t mind in the least.IfI explain what happened I’m sure my 9 wouldn’t mind too much.So,I10 beside him and helped him pick them all up.Then I asked if he would like a 11 in carrying a box to where he was headed.He said that would be much 12 .So,I carried one box.I tell you,the box I had to carry was very 13 as I’m quite petite (娇小的)but I didn’t 14 .I just helped him with a big smile 15 my face.We got there and he thanked me very much for helping him 16 .He even gave me one of these lovely booklets.What a good way to spend my 17 helping someone!

Those can be signs of good stress.For example,you may do a better job on your book report if the anxiety inspires you to prepare well before you get up and read it to the class.If you’re feeling tired because you have too much going on,you might feel better if you drop something.Sometimes lots of activities-even if they’re all fun- can make you feel stressed by keeping you busy all the time.There are also relaxation exercises you can use.The easiest one is to inhale (吸气)slowly and deeply through your nose,and then exhale slowly through your mouth.Do this two to four times,but don’t take in too much air too quickly because it can make you feel lightheaded.The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life.Think about which things are the most important,and do those first.That means making good decisions about how to spend your time.Eat well.If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food,and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff,you’ll probably be less stressed out!1.What would you feel when you are under stress?A.Angry and frustrated.B.Excited and restless.C.Sleepy and exhausted.D.Afraid and guilty.2.Which of the following won’t cause stress in a kid’s life according to the passage?A.Being called on in class.B.Having to give a report.C.Preparing for a book report.D.Doing too many activities.3.According to the passage,what should you do if you feel stressed?A.Do lots of activities.B.Get some sleep right away.C.Find something to eat.D.Do deep-breathing exercises.4.The passage is mainly written for .A.teachersB.kidsC.reportersD.advertisers( B )(2015内蒙古赤峰高三最后一模)【科普知识类】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 not 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 ratings.It seems that people perform as well as we expect them to.The Self-fulfilling Effect is also known as the Pygmalion(皮格马利翁) Effect.This comes from an old Greek story.The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion,later turned into the musical My Fair Lady.In Shaw’s play,Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl,Eliza Doolittle into a duchess(女公爵).But,as Eliza herself points out to Higgins’ friend Pickering,it isn’t what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess,but how she’s treated.The implication(含义) of the Pygmalion 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 remain as he is.Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”5.The underlined word “rating” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “”.A.programB.classificationC.correctionD.regulation6.The experiment was made in order to .A.give each pupil a proper assessmentB.try out a new teaching methodC.pick out the most excellent pupilsD.learn if expectations affect performance7.According to the Pygmalion Effect,if you want a man to finish a hard task in a short time,you should say “”.A.It is as easy as pieB.I’m sure you can make itC.It doesn’t matter if you failD.I will help you any time8.What’s the passage mainly about?( )A.Shaw’s play Pygmalion.B.The Self-fulfilling Effect.C.An improved teaching method.D.A new scientific experiment活页综合提升练(十四)Ⅰ.完形填空语篇解读:送人玫瑰,手留余香。

高三英语限时练习四完形填空（时间：10分钟）One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 21 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole —such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils —there have been several serious 22 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 23 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 24 that the most able groups are 25 and are bored while the least able are lost and 26 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 27 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have 28 it a few years later. Because they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 29 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 30 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.21. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of22. A. errors B. situations C. systems D. methods23. A. vocabulary B. culture C. grammar D. literature24. A. wide B. similar C. separate D. unique25. A. kept out B. turned down C. held back D. left behind26. A. surprisingly B. individually C. equally D. hardly27. A. extra B. traditional C. basic D. regular28. A. needed B. forgotten C. practised D. left29. A. restored B. absorbed C. prohibited D. withdrawn30. A. wasting B. focusing C. exploiting D. sharing语法填空（时间：10分钟）The word “pub”is the short form for “ public house” in Great Britain. It31 (suppose) to be the Englishmen’s favourite meeting place, 32 they can get together with friends over a pin of beer and talk about football, horse racing 33 business. Pubs are usually open from 11 a.m. to midnight.You may notice that the pub is the Englishmen’s meeting place. It is not quite respectable for 34 woman to go into a pub alone. She must have a man go with 35 . Perhaps that’s partly the reason 36 pubs depress me---they are intended 37 (main) to provide for make interests.Most Englishmen have 38 favourite local, where they can escape 39 the pressures of family life or work, and if they are lucky, they can tell their troubles to a pretty bar-girl. Indeed manymen dream of retiring from their 9 to 5 jobs and 40 (buy) a little country pub, where they imagine they will be the host of a seven night a week party.阅读理解（时间：20分钟）ALast year, a report by a committee of education experts said that a lot of American students cannot write well. The report noted the concerns of business leaders and teachers. The experts said that more students should have to pass a writing test before they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now to include a writing part.Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies have developed computer programs. These can grade students writing more quickly than a person can. Writing tests can also cost less to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as e-readers. They use artificial intelligence to think in a way like teachers. In the State of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost no difference between the computer grades and those given by the human readers.The entrance test commonly used by business schools, the GMAT, already uses e-readers. The GRE and TOEFL tests might start; officials are deciding. The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language.Systems are also being used to grade writing in college classes. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writing against those already examined.How do teachers feel all about this? Many say machines can never do the job as well as people can. A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes. But these teachers say it can never really understand what a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems are meant to judge knowledge more than creativity.41. From the first paragraph we can conclude that _________.A. American students’ writing ability is being improvedB. American students’ writing abili ty is not satisfactoryC. business leaders and teachers are not worried about American students’ writingD. all college entrance tests will include a writing part42. What do the teachers think of the computer system?A. They think highly of the computer systems.B. They think that computers cannot grade writing as well as people.C. They believe that computers can understand a writer’s idea well.D. They are glad computers will spare their effort to correct student’s school work43. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of e-readers?A. Saving much of teachers’ timeB. Saving a lot of money.C. Being fair and objectiveD. Appreciating humor and beauty44. According to the passage, which of the following tests has been graded by using the computersystems?A. the GMATB. The GREC. the TOEFLD. all of the above45. The best title of this passage might be _____.A. Computer-graded WritingB. Human-graded WritingC. How to Improve Students’ WritingD. Advantag es of E-readers.BGene technology to benefit peopleAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.46. What does “these two killers” in the sec ond paragraph refer to ?A gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.B. The two murderers who killed the cloned babyC. The two diseases of cancer and heart diseaseD. Hereditary diseases and cancer47. What’s the main idea of the third pa ragraph?A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out48. In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.49. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit peopleB. Telling people the advantages of gene technologyC. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peopleD. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity50. Which of the following worries people by using this technology?A. Scientists have already successfully cloned sheep.B. Most couple will normally give birth to babies.C. A good number of babies will be clonedD. The government will take action to control it.CA peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it.However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if t hey don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “ everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer——just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self- confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.51. What is the passage mainly about ?A. Peers have a good effectB. Children give in to peer pressureC. Peer pressure is hard to resistD. Peer pressure52. The underlined word “shoplift” in Paragraph Three probably means “__________”.A. do some shoppingB. carry goods for shopsC. steal in shopsD. take the lift upstairs in shops53. The writer will not agree that ____.A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure.B. peers have an effect on one anotherC. Peer pressure can be got rid ofD. Peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them54. The writer intends to _________ by writing the passage.A. tell people to follow other’s opinionsB. warn people to stay away from their peers.C. tell it is hard to walk away form per pressure.D. persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressure.55. All of the following questions are answered in the passage except ___________.A. What does a peer mean ?B. Why do young people have extremely strong peer pressure?C. How do peer pressure influence our judgment?D. How does peers influence each other ?参考答案完形填空21-30 BACAC CDBDA语法填空31 is supposed 32. where 33. or 34. a 35. her36. why 37. mainly 38. their 39. from 40. buying阅读理解41-45 BBDAA 46-50 CABAC 51-55 DCADB完形填空部分解析国外好多中小学的外语教学出现了误区。

Although 41 after a day’s hard work, I was excited to chat with Paul and 42 his rich experience in marketing. As we entered his house 43 the main door, Paul started singing his favourite song, I have a dream. I was in no 44 to listen to his song.

If you enjoy a child’s story or have kids of your own then please browse (浏览) this site to find some great stories and how to read them.The Cat in the Hat---Dr. SeussIn the first book featuring the character (The Cat in the Hat, 1957), the Cat brings chaos (混乱) to a household of two young children on one rainy day while their mother is out. Bringing with him two creatures appropriately named Thing One and Thing Two, the Cat performs all sortsof tricks to amuse the children, with mixed results. The Cat’s tricks are vainly opposed by the family pet, who is a conscious goldfish. The children (Sally and her older brother) f inally prove good ones, capturing the Things and bringing the Cat under control. He cleans up the house on his way out, disappearing seconds before the mother comes back.The Famous Fire---Enid BlytonThe Famous Fire is Enid Blyton’s most popular and celebrated series of children’s books. The sequence (顺序) began life in 1942, when the first book, Fire on a Treasure Island was published and it has won great praise from both fans and critics. The series has gone on to become amongst the best-loved stories ever to have been written for children.Tom and Pippo in the Garden---Helen OxenburyIn 1988Helen Oxenbury created a series of books featuring Tom, a naughty young boy, and his beloved stuffed monkey, Pippo. Ms. Oxenbury remarked that Tom was very much like her son “when he was a little boy”. Like Tom, her son would often blame his misdeeds on his trusted buddy, the friendly family dog.The BFG---Roald DahlThe story is about an orphan girl named Sophie. One night when Sophie cannot sleep during the “witching hour” and sees a giant blowing something into bedroom windows down the street. The giant sees her, and although she tries to hide in the bed, he reaches through the window and carries her away to his home.56. It can be inferred from the The Cat in the Hat that ________.A. the goldfish likes to keep company with the catB. all tricks performed by the cat are not amusingC. Sally has to clean up the house before her mother comes backD. the cat finally takes control of the Things57. From the book Tom and Pippo in the Garden, we know ________.A. Pippo is a naughty dog causing trouble in the familyB. Tom likes to keep a pet dog at homeC. Ms. Oxenbury complained about her son’s dishonestyD. Pippo always gets the blame for everything that goes wrong58. According to the book The BFG,“the witching hour” may refer to a time________.A. when magic things can happenB. when a girl can’t fall asleepC. when a person dreams a nightmareD. when a child can be taken away59. For whom is the passage most likely intended?A. Children.B. Parents.C. Teachers.D. Writers.BThere are four types of persons who go to work part-time. These include retiree s who want a bit more income or socialization, parents who want to spend more time with their children, college and high school students and temporary agency workers who want more experience. Many people enjoy the advantages of working part-time, but benefits are rarely offered to part-time employees.Most people are hoping for health insurance and retirement benefits when taking a job. Traditionally, companies only offer benefits to employees who work 30 hours or more a week. This is only a 25% reduction in hours, so it doesn’t free up a lot of time for the employee who needs part-time hours. Even when a part-timer is offered health benefits, he is rarely offered paid time off and retirement benefits. Dental benefits are almost never offered to part-time employees.Many businesses hire part-time employees for the simple reason of saving money. If they work less than a certain number of hours, the employers don’t need to pay for benefits. There are companies, however, that are beginning to offer benefits to part-time employees. This includes benefits for health, paid time off and retirement plans. Some companies have begun to offer this in order to take in high quality, trained professionals who just want part-time hours. If a company wants a qualified employee, it will have to compete with other companies. People who may only want to work part-time may be forced to take a full-time job to get the benefits. Companies who offer benefits to part-timers have an advantage by offering more choices to their employees in terms of hours.Con ducting an Internet search is probably the quickest way to find companies that provide benefits for part-time employees. Many large corporations like Starbucks, Barnes & Noble and Whole Foods offer benefits to part-time employees among other things. Look for companies that offer a team approach to their employees. Employees are given choices and part of decision-making in the business. Businesses that allow employee input are more likely to offer benefits to part-timers.60. People prefer to work part-time mainly because they __________.A. don’t want to spend more time on workB. have so many household and social affairsC. hope to have more money, time and experienceD. only expect to make more friends61. From the second paragraph we can learn that part-timers _______.A. can enjoy as many benefits as full-timersB. prefer retirement benefits to health insuranceC. often retire without enjoying any benefitD. often enjoy fewer benefits than full-timersCIf you are looking for an animal to take the title of “most violent fish in the sea”, then the tiger puffer (河豚) fish would have to be a strong contestant. Not only is it deadly poisonous --- though that doesn’t stop people trying to eat it --- but it is also able to scare off enemies by inflating itself to become much larger than normal, when it is young it even chews on its own brothers and sisters.Tiger puffer fish attach their eggs to rocks near the bottom of the sea, often at the mouths of bays. Then the larvae (幼鱼) move to the entries of rivers and lakes once they have grown a little. Then, having put on a lot o f weight, they head out to sea. There’s no innocent childhood for the puffer fish, as Shin Oikawa of Kyushu University in Japan and his colleagues found out when they put the larvae of tiger puffer fish in the lab and monitored them for two months. They found that the larvae went through three steps in which their metabolic(新陈代谢) rates increased dramatically when they reached body weights of 0.002g, 0.01g, and 0.1g. When a larva went throughone of these steps, its behaviour also changed. For instance, once a larva had passed the first level it would have grown its first tooth and could start attacking larvae that had not yet reached that stage. Similarly, any larva that had reached the 0.01g or 0.1g levels would start attacking lighter larvae.The research ers noted that the baby fish had a “relatively small mouth”, so rather than swallowing their brothers and sisters whole, they would bite pieces out of them. Despite this limitation, the fish caused plenty of deaths --- up to 12 per cent of the deaths that happened in the lab each day.Those fish that grew fast enough to be able to chew on their fellows had an advantage. The extra food accelerated their growth and development. Tiger puffer fish are likely to be faster and swifter, so they can deal better with enemies.As the name suggests, puffer fish can inflate to make themselves seem much larger than they really are, thus scaring off enemies. They do this by filling their stomachs, which are extremely elastic(弹性的), with water. If that’s not enough of a threat, the ti ger puffer fish --- like most of the other puffer fish in the family --- carries a deadly toxin(毒素). Eat one puffer fish and the poison wi ll paralyse (瘫痪) your muscles, including the muscles responsible for breathing, so death is usually caused by a lack of oxygen. Famously, the fish is a delicacy in Japan, where highly qualified chefs produce dishes that contain the safe level of the poison. Interestingly, the puffer fish does not go to the trouble of producing the poison itself. Instead, it hosts bacteria (细菌) that produce the stuff. It obtains these bacteria from its diet, so the youngest adult fish are not poisonous.64. All of the following statements account for the violence of puffer fishexcept that_____.A. they are very difficult to catchB. they can become larger to threaten enemies awayC. they kill their younger companions as they grow upD. they are deadly poisonous65. We can learn from the second paragraph that puffer fish _____.A. can only grow to a weight of 0.1gB. do not change their behavior as they grow upC. like to find a safe place to hatch the next generationD. begin to grow teeth when they reach the third level66. Where does the poison in the puffer fish’s body come from?A. Its i nner organs.B. The air it breathes in.C. The diet it eats.D. The bacteria around it.67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Puffer fish can only produce poison when they face danger.B. People like eating puffer fish even though they are poisonous.C. The larvae are more aggressive than adult puffer fish.D. Young puffer fish taste better than adult puffer fish.第四部分：任务型阅读Children who grow up with self-control and the understanding of others’ needs will be happy and successful adults in the future, according to Dr. Cleen Kelly Mast, an expert on children’s health. The key to raising a successful child comes from realizing what true happiness is.For a person to be truly happy, he or she should learn to form the habits of self- discipline and generosity. Parents must help their children reach this point by emphasizing the developmentof virtue and the advantage of forming good habits. “We have wonderful support systems through our schools,” Dr. Mast said, “but they are just support systems. The school cannot make up for what is lacking at home.” According to Dr. Mast, family life is well suited to educate children i n virtuous living and the development of what she calls a “fine-tune” conscience, which brings happy feelings.So how can busy parents help children fine-tune their conscience? Dr. Mast suggested parents stop blaming and criticizing their children and teach them the skills of self-discipline through concrete actions.However, a good example from parents is not enough. Children must become engaged in their own development. Parents can help children achieve that by m aking them realize that they are responsible for their actions, and they can stop protecting their children from painful experiences as well. Good discipline is not just making children resign themselves to parents’ requests. “Parents must encourage them with more than ‘Because I said so’,” said Dr. Mast. Besides, orderliness and organization is quite important for children to achieve self-discipline.Parents need to work on developing their children’s habits of generosity and kindness to others. “Help your child and yourself think about kind thou ghts of others, while pushing out negative thoughts,” said Dr. Mast. She also suggested parents find their children’s nature by analyzing the way they react to situations or to others. And it is also considered helpful to have them develop the habit of reviewing the day nightly, with a focus on correcting their own particular faults.But life is not all work and no play. All have the right to enjoy life. As parents, it is your duty to help your children form good habits and let them have fun while working hard, whichTitle Help Children (71). _______ Habits That Make ThemSuccessfulTheoryThe key to raising a successful child comes from realizing what true happiness is and children should learn to form the habits of self-discipline and generosity.Schools are just support systems, which cannot make up for what children (72).________ to learn at home.Help children to be self-disciplin edParents should stop blaming and criticizing, set a(n) (73). _______ to their children and help them acquire the skills of self-discipline.Children should realize that they are responsible for their own actions and learn how to deal with (74). ________ situations.Good discipline is not just making children (75). ______ the requests of parents.It is very important for children to learn how to keep things in(76). ________ and organized.Help children to be (77). _____ and kindIt is suggested that parents find the nature of their children through their (78). ________ to situations or to other people.Developing the habit of reviewing the day every night is of great (79)._______ to correct particular faults.Conclusion It is a duty for parents to help children form good habits, which leads to (80). ________ the success of thechildren in the future. 限时训练1 4。

Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide."Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty,or swift.Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.I genuinely love teenagers.I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.41.

But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.46. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ______.A. more interestingB. unusually poplarC. more detailedD. more formal47. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ______.A. show disbelief in themB. are ready to face up to themC. remain cold to themD. are willing to get away from them48. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A. A new type of robot.B. National hatred.C. Family income planning.D. Street accident.49. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____.A. have become the only ones of its kindB. exploit the weaknesses in human natureC. appear at different times of the dayD. attract differentpeople50. What is the advantage of the Jerry Springer show?A. The show exposes the dark sides of society.B. The show pours poisonous waste into society.C. Jerry sums up the whole idea of the show.D. Jerry talks abou the improvement of society.CCan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.51. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. people can not change their skin colour without any painB. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safelyC. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he likedD. scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene52. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatmentB. Europeans and Africans have the same geneC. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancerD. there are two kinds of genes53. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.A. find the different genes of humans’B. prove the human s’ skin colour is determined by the pigment geneC. find out the reason why the African s’ skin colour is darkD. find out the ways of changing peopl’s skin colour54. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that ________.A. they are born light-skinned peopleB. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gen for melanosome productionC. they have fewer activities outsideD. they pay much attention to protecting their skin55.
