As he checked off the days leading up to the party，I noticed the way I had adopted to help my quiet child prepare for social events backfired ： the rising number of checkmarks felt more like a drum beating l
11、ouder and louder than a nice way to get into the party groove (状态）. In order not to raise the pressure too high, I decided to contribute something that was easy to purchasefruit. That big day came. On the way to school，I reminded Jeremy to make a purchase of some grapes. He chose the ripest bunch of
12、 red grapes, but insisted none of his classmates ever be able to detect he had something to bring to the party. Then as planned at the school gate I said a quick goodbye and ran to inform his teacher about the red grapes in his backpack and managed to be out of the classroom before 1 could be spied
13、by my son. As I entered my own classroom a few minutes later, I set aside my worries and proceeded (继续）with my regular morning check-ins.

14、t students feel more comfortable about sharing thoughts and opinions with others. So, what happened to Jeremy on that day? His caring teacher performed magic in class.

17、o improve teachers ability.C The majority of astronauts（宇航员）from America have been men. At the start of the space programme there was strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978
18、, NASA began the first training programme for women astronauts. Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and studied engineering at university
19、 and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space. During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research. She was, in many w
20、ays, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel. Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space. They hoped that she would be able to communicate with student
21、s from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good communicator and she immediately
22、established a very good relationship with the news media(radio, television and newspapers）. It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communic
23、ating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is partly because of the excitement over McAuliffes place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect on people. 8. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _. A. Judy was against t
24、he idea of having women in space at first B. Judy helped to launch three new satellites at the age of 35 C. Judy was the first woman selected for astronaut trainingD. Judy carried out a programme during her second space travel 9. Christa McAuliffe was chosen for training because _. A. she was popula
25、r with the news media B. she expected to give history lessons in space C. she was an excellent teacher and communicator D. she made the students in space very excited 10. The reason why there was great interest in Flight STS-51-L is that _. A. both Christa and Judy got PhD degrees in the same year B
26、. a young secondary school teacher was on the flight C. students were going to learn more about space travel D. it was the first time for women to travel in space 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Two Astronauts B. Flight STS-51-L C. Travelling in Space D. The Training Programme D
27、 Americas businesses are getting older and fatter, while many new businesses are dying in infancy.A study last month by the Brookings Institution found that the proportion of older firms has grown steadily over several decades, while the survival rate of new companies has fallen. In addition, young
28、people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past.A new report from the National Association of Manufacturers shows a major cause: The cost of obeying government regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion (12.26 trillion yuan) annually, or 12 percent of the GDP, and this cos
29、t falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses.Its risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. Governments are imposing various new rules on a seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in California, compulsory paid sick
30、days for even hourly employees. These regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for larger companies.This is partly an unintended issue of resourcesestablished companies can cope with new costs more easily
31、but its also deliberate. For instance, big insurance companies got a seat at the table to help write Obamacare, but less politically powerful firmslike medical device manufacturersgot squeezed.Mature, successful corporations can employ ex-lawmakers with connections, distribute campaign contributions
32、 and even write regulations for themselves. They are also more likely to want to protect steady revenue streams than revolutionize their industry.Major companies that have been so ill-managed they would otherwise collapseairlines, car companies and banksstagger（蹒跚）on because politicians ride to the
33、rescue with bags of taxpayer money.The genius of our unique system of government is the determination to protect and defend the rights of the individual over the rights of the nation. As such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy（寡头政治）that protects big business at the expense of small business, an
34、d the established over the new, is opposite to American ideals.Income inequalitywhich is directly caused by faulty government policyis being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. But lets be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winners and
35、losers through regulations and financial aids.Politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and thats as it should be, but the force of government should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificial monop
36、olies（垄断）by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy. Policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that could be our bright future die in infancy.12. We can learn from the passage that _.A. over several decades, new companies have grown steadily
37、.B. mature, successful corporations prefer to maintain their stable incomes.C. less politically powerful firms also have their voice in making regulations.D. The cost of obeying government regulations falls equally on all businesses.13. We can infer from the last three paragraphs that _.A. the state
38、 economy may depend on those innovative businesses.B. the rise of a well-connected oligarchy is contrary to American ideals.C. income inequality is what the government should take action to resolve.D. the government picks winners and losers through the law of free market.14. It can be concluded from
39、 the passage that _A. big insurance companies have better relationship with Obama.B. most of the ex-lawmakers work in mature, successful corporations.C. larger and older firms have a command of resources of various aspects.D. politicians like providing financial aids to the companies of worse operat
