1、It is a very usual ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) thing for a person to have a good friend. My good friend is Diana. She is a rich and proud (骄傲) girl. She often thinks that she is too good for anyone.
One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a cake, I got it. We talked and joked. From then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than Diana. However, I also began to feel a little uneasy.
After a few days, I went to see Diana with some snacks and at that time Vivien came and sat with me. She gave me a sandwich. She also gave one to Diana, but Diana didn’t get it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude.
"Never mind," Vivien said , " I’m used to (习惯) it."
After school, I tried to catch up with Diana. When we walked home, I tried to correct her attitude (态度), but she would not listen to me. She said, “Go and join your ‘dear’ Vivien. I know you make new friends and forget the old ones.”
For the next few weeks, we did not talk to each other. Then, one day, Diana came to Vivien and me, saying, “I’m really sorry about what I did.

4、By my eight ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h grade, I was a kid who felt unsafe, unloved and pretty angry at life. In other words, I behaved badly in school. However, my teacher, Ms. Simon, of course, thought that I was blind to this problem because she always reminded me, “Henry, you are the worst behaved child in this school”
Needless to say, the eighth grade was probably the worst year of my life. Good thing was that I was allowed to go to the ninth grade. But Ms. Simon’s words were always ringing in my ears.
The first day I entered the ninth grade, my teacher, Miss Brown, began to call our names. And it wasn’t long before she came to my name. “Henry,” she called out, looking from her list to where I was sitting. She looked at me carefully for a moment, and then said, “I’ve heard a lot about you.” Then she smiled and added, “But I don’t believe a word of it!”
To be honest, that moment was a turning point, not only in my education, but also in my life. Suddenly, unexpectedly, someone believed in me. For the first time in my life, someone saw potential(潜力) in me. Miss Brown often gave me little jobs to do. She invited me to stay after school to work on my reading and math. She challenged me to let her down. So I studied really hard that even my own father couldn’t believe that I was changing.
What made me the difference between the eighth grade and ninth grade It was that risky, because there was no promise that I would honor Ms. Brown’s trust.
Everyone likes the end product of teaching, especially when it produces excellent men, the sports star, the successful business persons, the smart lawyer. But how many of us want to deal with the person at the beginning of the process

1.In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don’t understand, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat it. If you don’t know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know. Then he or she knows what you need to do.

7、Going to a frien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you , you need to get on time. If your friend tells you to come around 3.00 p.m., that means you can get there a little later after 3.00 p.m. But usually it is a good thing to arrive at the right time.

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet
When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr or Mrs Smith. This will show them more respect (尊重) and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.
It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and they will invite you again.
【小题1】If your friend asks you to get to his house around 4.30 p.m., it is polite to arrive at ___.

The best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason, we can get good results (结果).
In studying we must have patience (耐心). If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We shouldn’t read the next one till we have understood the first one.
When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.
We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers, parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we’ve leaned can be used well and made better.
Though there are many ways for studying, yet the above mentioned (提到的) will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.

12、When something ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my mistake; the bus was late.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming(责备) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming(克服) problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility(责任心) or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept that the person is not reliable(可靠的) and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges(挑战) and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop paying attention to “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
【小题1】According to the passage, winners .
A.have responsible and able workmates
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C.blame themselves rather than others
D.deal with problems rather than blame others

B.find a better way to overcome the problem
C.tell him to find the cause of the problem
D.ask a more able workmate for help
【小题3】When problems happen, winners take them as .
A.excuses for their mistakes
B.difficulties to greater power
C.chances for self-development
D.challenges to their workmates
【小题4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Winner’s Secret B.A Winner’s Problem
C.A Winner’s Chance D.A Winner’s Achievement
13、George Dennehy w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as born with no arms. He never dreamed he would become a musician. But that is what he has become. He was born in Romania.

Early on, George’s parents saw musical abilities in him. “When I was 8 years old, my mum took me to have cello (大提琴) lessons,” he said. Though he didn’t really enjoy it, he seldom missed any lessons.
His first teacher helped him be able to play with his feet. Soon he was very good at it. At the beginning of high school, when the cello became “not so cool” to play, George began to play the guitar. “It was a lucky thing to learn the cello first,” he said. This made playing the guitar not so hard.
Playing music hasn’t been an easy road. He was shy at first. “I did face different challenges and didn’t know if I was going to make something of myself,” he said. But these doubts didn’t stop him. Every time he got on stage to play music, he could see how the audience (观众) admired his abilities. This made him feel confident of himself and encouraged him to continue his career.
George said that the secret of his success was being able to overcome (克服). “No matter what situation you’re in, anything is possible. It is so easy to give up sometimes, but we shouldn’t do that. We believe there is more that is meaningful for us,” he said.

15、It is true th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the whole world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
【小题1】People with little education usually ____.
A.spend a long time in school

17、Many chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dren act in TV shows. They work several hours every day, so they can not go to regular school. How do they get an education
In Hollywood, many TV shows are made. About forty teachers give lessons to the children in the shows. They teach wherever their pupils are working. The teachers’ job is very important. They are responsible(负责) for making sure that the children work only the permitted(允许) hours each week. They are also responsible for making sure that children learn the required subjects. They make sure, too, that the children get enough rest and play, along with their education.
Children actors are required to attend classes twenty hours each week. California law says they must be taught from September to June. If they do not make much progress in school, they are not permitted to continue working in TV shows. TV children are usually good pupils, and most of their teachers like this special kind of work. Their classes are held in some wonderful places. Sometimes the “classroom” is a Mississippi riverboat, and sometimes it is the inside of a spaceship. Often the pupils become famous TV or movie stars.

Since then, the young science lover started to try to find the healthiest free-range (散养) chickens. And she ended up breeding a type that now bears her name.
The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) gave the 2015 Angela Award to Gracie Goodpasture. Her interests don’t end with chickens and eggs.

20、As a volunteer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another one for Grades 4, 5 and 6. The third one was for me.

The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. Though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.
I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.
