My name is Mrs. Murray. I am replacing your regular teacher,” she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. “I
18、 will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months.”The children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected.“Come on, someone say something,” she thought nervously. The children were too quiet.“This probably wont last long,” she thought, smiling kindly at
19、them. Grade Three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. “If you have problems, please come to me. I will help you.”The children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke.“How can I get them to accept me?” she wondered. Suddenly, she had an idea.“Your first homework
20、 will be to write a new song. To make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for Valentines Day. The winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party.”The children looked amazed, but pleased.“You may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrum
21、ent.” As if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly. “A love song?” a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher. “We each have to write one,” said a dark haired girl, “We never had to do that before.”“And perform it too!” a red haired boy responded,
22、laughing aloud. “I love it! Me, sing a love song?” “Want to know what the first prize will be?”Immediately, every hand in the room went up.Mrs. Murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica（口琴）.“What do you think of this?” She waited.“I am also a music teacher, so I will be able to help
23、 you write your new love songs.” added Mrs. Murray, smiling at her new students. Obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class. 52.

Helpful and clever.C. Faithful and honest.D. Patient and humorous. B Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten,
26、and I wished her every success. But part of me didnt. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can
27、often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, by contrast, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn. In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If youve spent enough time in the kitche
28、n to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信) their failures gave them. I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each
29、week I am aware that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a fancy w
30、ay. My younger daughter is a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point
31、 in subjecting (使服从于) her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul. My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do
32、 better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that its not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.55. Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail? A.

35、ailure will make you work even harderC A typical day at work for Cesar Millan might include putting on his running shoes and taking a four-hour jog with 40 dogsdogs large and small, young and old. Amazingly, most of those dogs belong to him. The rest are at the heart of his work; they are troubled d
36、ogs sent to Millan to learn good behavior. Obviously Millan, star of the TV show Dog Whisperer and author of the best-selling book Cesars Way, has a special gift for working with these animals. Growing up on a farm in Mexico, Millan knew he wanted to work with dogs. His first job, at age 15, was hel
37、ping a veterinarian(兽医). He was so good at calming scared dogs and handling all kinds of situations that people started calling him “el perrero”, Spanish for “he dog boy”. Since then, he has built a rewarding career around his favorite animal. “My grandfather taught me at an earl age not to work aga
38、inst nature”, he explains. In nature, dogs are pack animals. They form a group and follow one leader. Millans specialty is teaching people to be pack leaders for their dogs. Studying dogs on the farm where he grew up, Millan realized they need lots of exercise to be calm. He explains his approach, “
39、Exercise and discipline first, and then affection!” He says a lot of people get it backwards because they dont realize what dogs really need. Therefore, while he trains dogs, he teaches owners to understand that their pets need rules. Hes helped famous people like Oprah Winfrey and movie star Will S
40、mith and everyday people too. To find the right career, Millan encourages kids to do what they enjoy. “A lot of people dont realize Ive been working with dogs for more than 20 yearslong before my TV show or book.

44、y few seconds along Bay Area freeways are just too bright and too distracting(令人分心的). And they may be right.A Swedish study published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention concludes that digital billboards hold the gazes of drivers longer than two seconds. Previous studies have shown that anythin
45、g that takes a drivers eyes off the road for that length of time increases the risks of a crash. “This study proves what is common sense when it comes to digital billboards,” says Mary Tracy, president of Scenic America, a national nonprofit group that seeks to limit billboards. “Bright, constantly
46、changing signs on the sides of roads are meant to attract and keep the attention of drivers, and this study confirms that this is exactly what they do.”The Federal Highway Administration allowed digital signs for the first time in 2007 after concluding they did not pose a major danger. But a follow-
47、up report is pending (待定的) and could be released this year. California has no law banning the billboards, and is one of 39 states that allows them. “We would need to review more research, so its too early to call for a ban,” says Jonathan Adkins, executive director of the Governors Highway Safety As
48、sociation. “There is a role for digital messaging, such as conveying emergent information and other safety messages.”There are more than 1,800 digital billboards nationwide, more than double the number five years ago. Although no evidence shows an increase in accidents because of the Bay Area signs,
49、 many drivers are opposed to them.“Monstrosities” is what Merlin Dorfman of San Jose calls them, while insurance agent David Whitlock says he has found them a major distraction. “Theyre much too bright at night,” he says. “When a digital billboard switches from a bright color to a darker one, your e
50、yes cannot adjust fast enough, and you end up losing sight of the roadway.”Officials with sign companies could not be reached for comment(评论), but Bryan Parker, an executive vice president for Clear Channel Outdoor, told USA Today last year that “theres no doubt in my mind that they are not a drivin
