Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.21·cn·jy·com
I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.【21cnj*y.co*m】
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long."21-cnjy*com
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much do I owe you?" she asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."
?26. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.
A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time
C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the destination on time
27. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.
A. wanted to do her a favor B. shut off the meter by mistake
C. had received her payment in advance D. was in a hurry to take other passengers
28. What can we learn from the story?
A. Giving is always a pleasure.
B. People should respect each other.
C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D. People should learn to appreciate others' concern.
C
For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?
Until the 1960s Finland’s school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7- to 16-year-olds. Compulsory education begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool as well.
Most of Finland’s schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to a university and receive a master’s degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.
All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union.
29. What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s?【21教育名师】
A. They changed the school system.
B. They lengthened preschool education.
C. They encouraged students to go to private school.
D. They learned modern education from neighboring countries.
30. We can learn from the text that ______________.
A. the children in Finland are educated equally
B. the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of six
C. the school system in Finland is better than that in Singapore
D. the school equipment in Finland doesn’t meet international standards
31. The author mentions Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea to show________.
A. Asian countries are successful in school education
B. the school system in Finland has been very successful
C. students in these places are better than those in European countries
D. the educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world
32. What can be the best title for the text?
A. What Differences European Schools Have
B. What Good Schools Provide Students with
C. Why Finland’s School System Is Successful
D. Why Finland’s School System Has Changed

Adrian's "Amazing Race" started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn't hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.【21教育】
Later on, Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn't take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace （节奏）was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn't always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.
The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06 ---- being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.
But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother."If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results." She often said.

Attacking school fears
There are real fears and imagined ones. Most school dangers are imagined. 36 Many students have learned to fear teachers and classrooms, textbooks and tests. So first let’s determine what the fears are, and then attack them in a good problem-solving way.
Fear of failure
Most students have plenty of ability to meet school demands. Most assignments and courses are within reason, more likely to be boring than difficult. 37 Once you have had a few successes, you will begin to overcome this fear.www.21-cn-jy.com
Fear of teachers
This is clearly an unreal fear. Look around at your fellow students. Some of them will be teachers. As you can see, there is nothing special about them. 38 You can get to know them better out of class. Visit them and chat with them.
Fear of talking in class
Anyone can make a mistake, but an hour later people will not even remember a mistake was made. 39 Also keep in mind that your performance in class is almost never the main part of your grade.
40
This fear can help you watch for real danger. The future can be dangerous. But to let it keep you from trying new things would be to give up life. Your own experience shows that most of the time things work out all right. The more things you try out, the more you will feel at home.
A. Fear of starting out
B. Fear of potential danger
C. Rarely is it lack of ability that makes people fail.
D. This is because they are much more concerned with themselves.
E. So don’t hand over power to teachers that they don’t really have.
F. However, school institutions have made most people think otherwise.
G. Often something else is the real problem, not what you first identified.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg 61 (recent) surprised Chinese students when he spoke to 62 in Chinese. In a talk at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes. 63 his Chinese was far from perfect, students and faculty cheered his effort.
Clayton Dube is the head of the U．S.-China Institute at the University of Southern California. He praises Zuckerberg's effort and thinks more American CEOs should learn foreign 64 (language)．2·1·c·n·j·y
“To speak Chinese 65 (mean) you begin to think as Chinese people do. You begin to understand how Chinese speakers have the world _ 66 (organize), and how they understand things. And that is a vital step if you're going to be culturally qualified.”【21·世纪·教育·网】
Zuckerberg's talk raises a larger question: Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English 67 the world's international language? Chinese already has the most native speakers of any language. And, China may soon pass the United States as the world's 68 (large) economy.
The study of 69 Chinese language is increasing in the United States and around the world In 2009, about 60,000 _ 70 (America) college students were studying Chinese. That is three times as many as in 1990.

Recently，our school has held meaningful discussion on if it is reasonable for middle school students to have classes on weekends. Some of our classmates believe we should have classes on weekends because we can make fully use of free time to review the lessons we had learnt. Some others are against the opinion, said we had better to have a good rest on weekends so that we can work effectively during the weekdays. The rest agree with neither of the opinion. They have the view that keeping the balance between work and play are important for us. They suggest one day of the weekend must be used to learn our lessons and on the other day, we should do something interested or have a rest.

Dear Cindy,
How nice to hear from you! In your letter you asked me how to keep healthy. I would like to offer you some advice.21世纪教育网
As we all know, we teenagers grow very fast, so we need plenty of nutritious foods, such as fish, beans, fresh fruit and vegetables. You should not take in too much meat or too many sweets. Also, physical exercise is needed instead of studying all the time. For example, you can play basketball or swim after school. What is more, having enough sleep is of great benefit. Therefore, I sincerely suggest that you should have at least eight hours of sleep everyday and get rid of staying up too late. Only in this way can we keep fit.
Yours,
LiHua
