12、erful to have _21_ students visit us and share the successes they have achieved. And those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to _22_ in the life of every child.As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I hav
13、e always known that music _23_ the soul. It can _24_ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the _25_ for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it. For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach _26_ students one afternoon a
14、 week. One of my most _27_ students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We _28_ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit.” It was a call and response song where I sa
15、ng the call and the students _29_ twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to _30_ her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she _31_ said or sang a word.One day late in the school
16、 year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in _32_ and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart _33_ started beating again, I looked over at the assistant te
17、acher to find her also _34_. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.Several years later, I passed Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big _35_ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had _36_ so many time
18、s in our music class. This precious little girl, _37_ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the _38_ to learn and grow.

There are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of t
23、ime where you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why arent you completely efficient? Its because time isnt the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions. Instead, people, even those who are h
24、ighly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have ample time
25、 and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extrem
26、ely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. Its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasnt the real problem during
27、 an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was insanely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any sta
28、ndards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe you have known it. 41. If someone cant work with 100% effi
29、ciency, the most important limiting factor is _.Aa schedule without gaps Bbreaks and distractionsCthe limited time Dthe limited energy42. According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.Awork without any rest Bfocus on many things at a timeCfind some more time in a day
30、 Ddo some exercise regularly43. After a few weeks off, what was the change of the writers life?AHe had a longer daily to-do lists with over twenty items.BHe stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.CHe found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.DHe pushed most of the th
31、ings later and later in his schedule.44. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.Aprove what the real limiting factor is Bshow us how busily he needs to workCexplain how important a healthy body isDtell us what an odd experience he has45. What is the best title of
32、 the passage?AAre You Really Lacking in Time? BHow Can You Work Efficiently?CWhat Makes Your Energy Limited? DWhen Should You Do Exercise?BAs the queen prepares to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, one of her closest relatives and oldest friends has been allowed to give a deep description of the family
33、 life of the royals. There have been hundreds of other books declaring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors, but this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the royal family and has shared their lives-not only throughout the Queens reign but also through that of her fathe
34、r, King George VI.The Final Curtsey was written by Her Majestys cousin and childhood playmate, the Honorable Margaret Rhodes. It tells in detail the story of Mrs. Rhodess relationship with the royal family over eight decades. The book, showed with delightfully informal and never-before-seen pictures
35、, has been written with the full knowledge of the Queen, who has read and approved parts of it.Mrs. Rhodes lives on the royal farm in Windsor Great Park, in a house given to her by the Queen in 1980. She tells how it was offered out of the blue one day when she and the Queen-whose 60 years on the th
36、rone next year will be marked with many national famous people-were out riding. She suddenly turned around and said, “ Could you bear to live in the suburb?” Therefore Mrs. Rhodes is now still living here.Born in 1925, the youngest daughter of the 16th Lord Elphinstone and his wife Mary, the Honorab
37、le Margaret Rhodes has led an extraordinary life. She was the childhood playmate of her cousin, the Queen; she was a wartime MI6 spy; she was a lady-in-waiting to her aunt, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, from 1991 until the latters death in 2002. At the Queens 80th birthday in April 2006, Margare
38、t gave an interview to the BBC in which she proved that, in her own opinion and despite several false reports, the Queen would not abdicate(退位). Now, at the age of 86, she has written a charming autobiography that paints a first-time close portrait of the private world of the royal family.Elsewhere
39、in the book she reveals how the Queen Mother was a fan of the TV shows Two Fat Ladies and Dads Army. Perhaps more surprisingly, she was also a fan of the poet Edith Sitwell and the Poet Laureate Ted Hughes, who was a regular and favoured guest.Life at Birkhall, the Queen Mothers home of the edge of
40、the Balmoral Estate, is described along with sometimes noisy dinners. Mrs. Rhodes recalls: “At the end of the meal, Queen Elizabeth would start a series of toasts. As well as Hooray for with glasses held high, there was even more of Down with with glasses almost disappearing beneath the table.”46. C

She wants to remind the Queen of remembering the Queen Mother.D. She wants to present her life and the world of the royal fa
45、mily in a private but real way.CIt was a cold night in December. Two beggars were sitting on a busy street corner in the downtown section of the city. The cold wind made them huddle together for heat and comfort. They watched helplessly as scores of people walked by, some ignoring them on purpose an
46、d others too caught up in their own cares to even notice their existence. Every so often, a kind-hearted woman or a small child would drop a few coins in the hats which lay in front of them on the icy sidewalk. Some people, feeling particularly generous, would even pull out a bill or two from their
47、wallets and drop them into the beggars hats and then continued their walking.Today was not a bad day for begging. The men were able to collect enough for a decent meal at the coffee shop down the street and a few candles to light up their shelter in the alley behind the train station. As the crowd b
48、egan to die down, they started to pack up their bundles and head for their evening shelter.Just as they were getting ready to leave the street corner, they noticed a man walking toward them. He was obviously a wealthy man-they could tell that from the finely tailored business suit he was wearing and
49、 the gold watch chain that adorned(装饰) his left pocket.The first beggar looked at the second and whispered with excitement, Hes coming our way!The two tried not to look directly at the man as he stepped closer to them, but they couldnt help gazing up with anticipation as he reached into his pocket a
50、nd took something out.Thunk was the only sound they heard as what looked like a piece of hard candy, wrapped doubly in tissue paper hit each of their waiting hats. The rich man turned and continued on his way, not making a backward glance.How insulting! said the first beggar, as soon as the rich man
51、 was out of sight. He could have easily left us a few coins or a spare bill, but he played a joke on us with a piece of rock candy.He looked at the wrapped offering with disgust. Who does he think we are-children? Theres no way we can even eat this-we have no teeth.The beggar picked up the object wi
52、th the very tips of his fingers and threw it into the gutter. He watched as it floated a few yards in the stream of muddy water and disappeared into the drain at the end of the street. Then, he gathered up his things and walked away.The second beggar looked down at the morsel in his hat, then at his
53、 departing friend. His first impulse was to toss the donation in the trash can under the street light. But his second thought made him change his mind.I havent had anything like this for ages, he thought. I cant chew it, but I can suck on it for a while, and the sugary juices will stay in my mouth f
54、or a long time. How nice of that man to offer me something so sweet.He opened the paper eagerly, then paused as his hands touched the white tissue paper inside. Maybe I should save it for another time, he thought. It wont spoil, and I could eat it later when Im really hungry.The beggar paused for a
55、moment, then he said aloud, He wanted me to have it anyway. I might as well enjoy it now.With that, he unfolded the white tissue paper, but to his surprise, there was no hard rock candy inside. Instead, into his fingers fell a shiny white pearl worth thousands of dollars.50. The first paragraph serv

The two beggars started to leave the street corner when _.A. darkness fellB. they felt too coldC. few people passed byD. the wind began to blow hard52.

58、he second beggar left overB. the coins the second beggar collectedC. the rock candy the rich man gave the second beggarD. the donation from the rich man55. What can we learn from the story?A. He that can have patience can have what he willB. Patience is the best remedy for every trouble.C. He who la
59、ughs last laughs bestD. Every dog has its day.DFrom bankers to factory staff, employees in the West face a cold prospect of losing their jobs as a global recession(衰退) starts to bite. For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural di
60、fferences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since t
61、hey will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group.“In the Confucian mindset, the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the sense of collective(集体的) responsibility. While in the West, its more about individual survival,” said Michael Benoliel, as
62、sociate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU).In contrast, local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousand, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups, job cuts will pr
63、obably be less severe.Japans jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kongs was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differe
64、nces in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad.56. The underlined word “prospect” in the first paragraph most probably means _.Aweather Bscene Cfuture Dplace57. Compa

Ive learned a great many things, but these are the lessons that I wish Id lea
70、rned earlier:61. _There was a time when everyones opinion was mine as well. Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of anothers. This most likely came from a need to please others. Remember that your opinion matters just as much as the next guys, whether they make more money tha
71、n you or are less popular than you. Everyones opinion holds the same weight.62. _Drama, chaos, and emotional unrest these were what took up most of my time as a teenager. If I had heard someone said bad things behind my back, Id be angry and go crazy. Looking back on those tantrums now, Im not too s
72、urprised. After all, when you have little self control, anything is possible. The lessons here is, remain aware of how you react.63. _Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe? In my world it felt like it. I just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be
73、 wrong. But in the end, it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration. Is there really a point to arguing? Unless its absolutely necessary, Ive learned that its better to hold your breath on things you cant control at all. Arguing to change someones mind
74、is one of them.64. _Im not saying every parent wants whats best for you (there are outliers), but in general, parents do what they do for you in your best interest. My parents used to make me do the dishes, cook dinner, sweep the floors, mow the lawn, take out the garbage the list goes on and on. An
75、d at every turn, Id whine and complain. Id eventually end up doing it. Now, I honestly see the value in having learned those skills. I can efficiently cook and clean up after myself.65. _Whenever Id lose a friend, get an awful grade, or disappoint my parents, I stewed in my own muck. Waiting for the
76、 bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution. Fortunately, I know now that you dont have to be stuck in bad situations. You can go out and create better ones. It all depends on perspective; on how you see the situation. Viewing everything as a learning experience makes life more pleasurabl
77、e, even during the hard times. You arent stuck. You can move on.Im glad to have learned these lessons the way I did. Each experience helped shape me to become a better person. I dont know if any young people are reading this, but if they are, Id like to say this: “Listen to life and its experiences.
