When she finished reading, I looked into her light blue eyes.“Grandma,” I asked, “will you ever die?”“Unfortunately,” she said.“Do all people have to die?” I asked.
32、“Yes,” she answered.“Why?”I asked.“How could you enjoy every second of life if you knew you could live it forever? You never know how much you love something until you lose it.” I gave her a kiss on the cheek, telling her that I would love her forever.The next night I sat on my parents bed watching

Matthews parents still lived

49、 up his own airline company.2 Chinese teens admire their skills in getting such important posts. But have you ever thought that you could have the same success?3 Burdened with heavy school work, many high school students in China are told to lock themselves in their studies and forget about other th
50、ings.4 But actually this is not wise.5 Everyone is different and there is no need to follow the life paths of our ancestors(祖先). Sessions had dreamt of being a politician since he was a child. Halstead is crazy about airplanes and took every chance to learn about them.6 So why not think outside the
51、box, as these boys did? Consider your interests when planning your own path through life. Doing this can be more exciting and makes it easier to succeed. Interest is our best teacher.7 But dreaming is not enough. A good education is a steppingstone to a successful career. It helps broaden your horiz

69、句话和At night I went home exhausted,often near tears可知作者第一天上课把大量的时间都用在了管理学生上,而且开始的那段时间每天上完课,作者常常感到精疲力竭、几乎都含着泪水,这说明她刚开始的教学不顺利,故选C项。52D句意理解题。根据第一段第二句中but可知,some wonderful,serious students who would do well wherever they were in life与后面的others worked hard to push themselves to the limit是相对的,由此可知其他的一些学生需要
70、很努力才能做好,不像前面提到的那些好学生,故选D项。53A细节理解题。根据马修的回答“Because at home no one listens to me”和该回答后面一句可知,马修家里人太多,没有人和他交流,故选A项。54C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中马修妈妈的话中的“You taught him to believe in himself”可知,作者使马修变得自信了。55C推理判断题。文章的第一段中的What gave me the idea I wanted to teach?表明作者对自己教学选择的怀疑,再根据倒数第三段中的After my second year of teach
