In the last five years，since Liesl's first book，Rump，was published，she has had the pleasure to meet and interact with many fine educators across the country．These teachers are wise and fully invest in their students' success．The teachers she has met know that the job is not the tests．It is the child．
Then Liesl met a fourth grade teacher who told her about a girl Angie in his class who had connected with Rump in a deep and powerful way．At the start of fourth grade，Angie was reading below average level and struggled in other areas as well．Perhaps even more troublesome than her low reading level was Angie's lack of confidence．But as the teacher read Rump aloud to the class，Angie felt an awakening．The teacher noticed．He asked Angie to tell how she was feeling about this book．
Angie explained that she felt like she was like Rump，caught up in a mess and not sure how to get out．As she followed his journey and watched him grow and clean up his own messes，she wondered if she might be able to do the same．Could she overcome her own troubles
Angie's teacher wrote to Liesl about this experience，and Liesl was touched that something she wrote could have such a deep effect on a child．She was even more touched by the teacher's devotion．The teacher noticed this child's experience with Liesl's book and he took the time to talk to Angie about it and help her．That is care．That is education：to guide children to self-awareness and the belief that they have potential and talents．
Liesl didn't believe Angie's issues would be solved overnight．Just because Angie felt confirmed by a story Liesl wrote，she was not suddenly a great reader or student．But at least a seed of confidence was grown．
注意：1．续写词数应为 150 左右；

Two years ago，when Liesl's third book came out，Angie's teacher got in touch with Liesl again．Liesl was going to come to Angie's town on her book tour．The teacher told Liesl that he was going to bring Angie，who was totally different from the past，to meet her．Liesl will never forget that night．Liesl hugged Angie tightly．They talked，they laughed，and they cried，while Angie's teacher watched from the sidelines，smiling at this moment．He made it happen．Liesl wrote a book，but it was he who put it in that girl's hands and heart．

1 / 6课时分层作业(三)
Ⅰ．阅读理解
A
My hands were shaking uncontrollably．I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper．I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life．During college and at my first few jobs，I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting．Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember．
Then in my mid-thirties，I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters．At every meeting，we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award．You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker，but nothing seemed to work．
It wasn't until recently，when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons，that I decided I must speak out．Science has made this country a place where dreams come true—this is why we all need to protect science．In addition，as a science writer，I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives．
So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April—Earth Day．Despite the body shakes and fear，I persevered．That day，I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort．
Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me．At almost forty，I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible．The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures．
1．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in paragraph 1
A．Strength． B．Confusion．
C．Preference． D．Struggle．
2．What happened to the author when in Toastmasters
A．Things got worse for him．
B．Nervousness remained with him．
C．He became a polished writer．
D．He began to feel more competitive．
3．What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day
A．He must rise up to defend science．
B．It was a good chance to learn science．
C．It was a project organized by Toastmasters．
D．He couldn't have people attacking his fellow scientists．
4．What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech
A．Frustration can be a stepping stone to success．
B．Love motivates us to achieve the unachievable．
C．Science can lead us to make wonderful changes．
D．Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort．
B
The home of the future won't be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today．But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams．No two homes will be the same．People will be able to buy “house kits”containing a basic house structure，with movable walls，doors and windows．They will put together the different parts to create the home they want．
Many jobs that we do today will disappear，others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created．Skilled workers such as builders，gardeners and electricians won't disappear because machines can't replace them．Teachers will still exist because students need human contact．But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home．The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today．
Space holidays will develop in the future，but these holidays won't be for everyone because they won't be cheap．Short space trips will develop first，and then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation．By the end of the next century，there will be holiday centers on the moon with leisure facilities for families．
Paper won't exist in the future．Instead，there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again．This will develop in order to save natural resources．E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper．
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future．This isn't going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes(爆炸)．We will have to explore the universe and find another home．At some point in the distant future，either we stay on the earth and die with it，or we leave and move to another planet．There won't be any other choice．
5．Homes of the future will ．
A．be completely different from those of today
B．be very similar to our homes
C．be movable as you want
D．all be different from one another
6．Space trips and staying in space hotels will ．
A．become a very common way to spend a holiday
B．be the cheapest holiday choice for families
C．still only be for very rich people
D．attract a lot of people
7．E-paper will replace traditional paper because ．
A．it won't waste natural resources
B．young people like it
C．it will be cheaper to produce
D．it will be convenient to carry
8．We will have to move to another planet ．
A．if we want to live a better life
B．if we want to save the human race
C．when the earth explodes
D．when the earth is too crowded to live on

Dear Sir or Madam，
I'm writing to apply to be a volunteer for the Chinese painting exhibition to be held in the local art gallery．
I think I am qualified for this job，because I have learned Chinese paintings since boyhood．Besides，I am fluent in both Chinese and English，which helps me introduce Chinese paintings．If I am lucky enough to be chosen as a volunteer，I can show visitors around the art gallery and get them to know more about the Chinese paintings．
I would be very grateful if you could offer me the opportunity．Looking forward to your reply．
Yours，
Li Hua
Ⅰ．[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。一次偶然的机会，作者为了科学而去发表公开演讲，这使得他自己战胜了对公开演讲的恐惧心理；同时他也悟出了一个道理：激情可以燃起心中的火焰，实现自己不能实现的成就。
1．D [词义猜测题。根据画线词前文“During college and at my first few jobs，I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting．”可知，在大学期间和工作之初，一到开会或者是公开演讲作者就会紧张。由此可知，公开演讲是作者一直感到困难的事情。画线词nemesis与struggle(难事)意思接近。故选D项。]
2．B [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker，but nothing seemed to work．”可推知，作者仍然没有改变自己紧张的状况。故选B项。]
3．A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It wasn't until recently，when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons，that I decided I must speak out．”可知，让作者想在地球日发表自己的观点是因为他必须站起来为科学辩白。故选A项。]
4．B [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“At almost forty，I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible．The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures．”可推知，作者感悟到激情能够点燃内心的火焰，实现自己曾经无法实现的事情。故选B项。]
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来的家、职业、太空旅行和可重复利用的电子纸等。
5．D [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“No two homes will be the same．”可知，没有两个家是一样的。由此可知，未来的家彼此之间都是不同的。故选D项。]
6．C [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Space holidays will develop in the future，but these holidays won't be for everyone because they won't be cheap．”可知，太空度假将在未来发展，但这些假期不会适合所有人，因为它们不会便宜。由此可推断出，太空旅行和住在太空旅馆的人仍然是非常富有的人。故选C项。]
7．A [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Paper won't exist in the future．Instead，there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again．This will develop in order to save natural resources．”可知，纸在未来不再存在，取而代之的是人们可以反复使用的电子纸。这是为了节约自然资源而发展的。由此可知，电子纸取代传统纸张是因为它不会浪费自然资源。故选A项。]
8．B [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“At some point in the distant future，either we stay on the earth and die with it，or we leave and move to another planet．”可知，在遥远的将来的某个时候，我们要么留在地球上，和它一起死去，要么我们离开地球，搬到其他星球上去。由此可知，如果我们想拯救人类，就必须搬去其他星球。故选B项。]
