25、icular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very vividly (清晰地) a sign over her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratoryin this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized (强调), not the last seven.” In

26、 other words, I guess, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would

27、be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit (有益于) the students.56. Whi

28、ch of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer? A. A patient teacher. B. An honest teacher. C. A strict teacher. D. A hard-working teacher.57.

When the teachers arm was broken, she _.A. gave her students the usual amount of homework B. gave her students less homework C. asked her students to check the homework themsel

30、ves D. gave her students more homework59. Whats the writers opinion of discipline? A. It makes the students dislike their teachers. B. It does good to the students in the long run.C. Its too much for young children. D. It does more harm than good to the students.BWe can make mistakes at any age. Som

31、e mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒)my luck?”“And Paul-why didnt he pick up that he was friendly just because I had a ca

32、r?”When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Yo

33、ure a lucky dog.”thats being friendly. But“lucky dog”?Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful f

34、or ”is another noise that says one thing and means another . It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up(包藏) in this phrase is the thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving

35、 people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones got a date for Saturday night? Good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture(姿态)?The look in his eyes

39、kingB. take a good look at the person talkingC. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyesD. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his postureCMr Parker was born in a small village. His father was so poor that he couldnt send him to school. The boy had t

41、vely(勇敢的). So he became a general when he was fifty. He was honest and friendly to his soldiers and often punished those who tried to pocket a portion of the soldiers pay(克扣军饷). And his soldiers liked him very much. Once Mr Parker heard from a soldier. In the letter the young man said the food in th

42、eir military camp(军营)was very bad and he wished the general could go to find out the reasons. The old man went there at once without telling anybody. He went in the kitchen and examined everything carefully and found it was very dirty. Then he went in the soldiers bedrooms and found there were a lot

43、 of fleas. He became angry and asked the soldiers, “What do you think of your food, young men?” The soldiers saw their officer standing by the general and said nothing. Only a new soldier said, “Very bad, sir!”“What did you have for lunch today?” asked Mr Parker. “A fried chicken, some fish and pork

44、, a cake, six eggs and I had three cups of wine(酒).” “Really?” Mr. Parker called out in surprise. “Its the Kings(国王)lunch, I think!” “So do I, General,” said the young man. “But its my birthday today.

48、n city, or a faraway village the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aeroplanes, transistor radios, oil-powered engines, etc, are almost everywhere. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.Scientific tests have sho

49、wn that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.One recent report

50、about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration , what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise.

55、ghts and feelings with them, and ask for their advice for your problems( you dont have to follow it). Communication builds closeness. Trust is your key to freedom. The way to build trust is through honesty and responsibility. Honesty means you dont lie or manipulate(作假). Responsibility means that yo

56、u are reliable(可依赖的) and make good choices to use good judgment. When your parents trust you, its a lot easier for them to say “Yes.”These guidelines(指导方针) work both ways.

57、good toward each other(never when you are angry). Then , explain to them what they did, how it makes you feel, and what youd like them to do instead.Unfortunately, these guidelines dont always work.

87、rests”. When my interest changed from space to the sea, I never expected that my friends would be so surprised and puzzled. Yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea do

88、es seem rather strange. To explain, Id like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you inc

89、lude research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many thing

90、s in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile environment. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have special equipment. The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man in the deep sea will be much like those of a man out in space.高考资源网独家精品资源,欢迎下载!高考资源网Ks5uK&S%5#UKs5uKs%U高考资源网高考资源网高考资源网
