Rosa Parks(1913-2005)
On December 1,1955,in Montgomery,Alabama,Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger.Her simple act landed Parks in prison.But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott(抵制).It lasted for more than a year,and kicked off the civil-rights movement.“The only tired I was,was tired of giving in,”said Parks.

Nelson Mandela is respected and admired around the world.To South Africans he is a superstar.He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races,even though he spent 27 years in the prison of the South Africa’s white,racist regime(政权).
Mandela,who won the nation’s first all-race elections after the fall of apartheid(种族隔离)in 1994,retired in 1999.But even now,he is as popular as ever.
His popularity has inspired an entire national industry.His portrait(肖像) has appeared at many places,including on some goods.His face has appeared on a South African coin;a district of a city was named in his honor and some business leaders hope to build a giant statue that looks like him—the Statue of Freedom.
His popularity is similar to that of John F.Kennedy in the U.S. or Winston Churchill in Britain,but few politicians today have achieved his level of admiration,said Tom Lodge,head of the Political Science Department of the University of the Witwatersrand.
“Sometimes it isn’t completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political career.He’s a very,very clever man.”
However,he is far from perfect.
Most articles about his birthday,which appeared in every major South African newspaper on the day,briefly mentioned that Mandela did have shortcomings.
Then they returned to their flowing praises.
“Through the ages,the human race has had its icons(偶像)—men and women who rose above ordinary people to inspire their generations,” The Mail and Guardian Weekly said.“In our generation,the gods presented us Nelson Mandela.”

Way back in 1953,high school mathematics looked like a big problem for me and several of my classmates.When we reached the 9th class,we got Mr Iyer,the strict maths teacher who was also our class teacher.He always stuck to his discipline.We had to arrive on time and pay undivided attention to his lectures,and dared not neglect(遗漏) any of his homework.
Even so,as our class teacher,we got to know him better.Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the midterm exams approached,he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why.“There’s too much to do,”we signed.“We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our review before the exams.”
“Nothing is impossible,” Mr Iyer told us.“This classroom is on the second floor.Do you have a problem reaching here ”
We reacted with blank stares.
“No,you don’t!” he said,answering his own question.“You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level.No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps...You simply take one step at a time.Any task can be solved if you focus on the next action to be taken.The rest will take care of itself,if you keep at it.One step at a time.That’s the secret.”
Then,he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard:“The longest journey starts with a single step.”Having heard his staircase analogy(比拟),we saw him in a new light.
Most of my classmates scored distinction in maths.And I went on to become an English teacher.To this day,whenever I pass on Mr Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students,they brighten up at the view of a lighter academic burden.
32.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Maths was difficult to most of the author’s classmates.
B.The students thought Mr Iyer was not a good teacher.
C.Mr Iyer was serious about his job and strict with the students.
D.Mr Iyer would punish the students neglecting his discipline.
33.What does the underlined word “fidgeting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Excited. B.Nervous.
C.Hard-working. D.Calm.
34.Why did the students react with blank stares
A.They thought reaching the second floor had no connection with the worry.
B.They were too tired to understand any words Mr Iyer said in the class.
C.They were surprised that Mr Iyer would talk about such an unbelievable problem.
D.They had no interest in any subjects that were no good for their exams.
35.The staircase analogy tells us .
A.one can reach his goals very easily
B.the goals can be reached step by step
C.there is only one step between success and failure
D.task can be solved under the guide of the teacher

Dear Mr Smith,
How are you As a exchange student,I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in next term,as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others.My roommate often held parties at night,made much noise.Besides,his friends are always visiting him,that disturbs me a lot.So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem.If you think in my position,I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is to get a room of my own,one not in the same building and as near to the school campus as possible.I would be gratefully whether you could do me the favor.

参考范文
There was a problem with the parking place for bikes in our school.
One day,I found that the entrance to the parking place was crowded with a lot of students who wanted to park their bikes there.There was only one entrance and it was small and almost blocked.So my fellow students and I had a discussion about how to solve the problem and wrote a report.Then,we went to meet the headmaster in his office and gave the report to him.To our delight,he accepted our report and agreed to our advice.
Soon afterwards,a second entrance was opened to the parking place.Now it is easy for us to enter and leave the parking place.
