Peanuts to This

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice:flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
小题1:What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A.Controversial.B.Ridiculous.
C.Boring.D.Puzzling.
小题2:Why was the author confused about the task?
A.He was unfamiliar with American history.
B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C.He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D.He was new at the school.
小题3:The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.
A.annoyedB.ashamed
C.readyD.eager
小题4:In the end, the author turned things around _______.
A.by redoing his task
B.through his own efforts
C.with the help of his grandfather
D.under the guidance of his headmaster

It was just a windy January day here in the North East of Scotland. When I left home for the office where I worked in the next town, the weather forecasters said, “Windy and cold, but no rain.” However, by the time I was about to leave work in the early evening, it was pouring!
My office was close to the bus stop so that there was no problem; I just shot out the door and onto the bus. Unfortunately, once I got home to Montrose, I had about a mile to walk from the bus stop to my home.
As I stepped off the bus that night to walk home, I struggled to get my tiny umbrella to go up in the strong wind. It was obviously designed for a very light shower. Then, suddenly and to my amazement, I heard my mum’s voice.
“Quickly! Come under here, before you get soaked! ”
I nipped(跑) under my bigger umbrella and stared at mum in surprise. “What on earth are you doing here in this weather?” I asked her. My mum was eighty-three that year, and although fit and healthy, she did not usually like going out in strong wind and heavy rain. “You said to come round for tea tonight, but I came early before the rain got too heavy. Eric told me that your car was in for a service and I saw your big umbrella lying on the chair. Eric was on the phone, so I just picked it up and came out so that I could meet you and you would not get soaked!’’
My mum passed away the following year. This simple act remains in my mind, and reminds me how completely my mum loved me. She would not have gone out in the wind and rain for herself, but, at eighty-three, she never gave a second thought about the bad weather so I would not get wet.
小题1:We can learn from the text that   
A.the author’s office was not far from her home.
B.the author’s mum enjoyed good health at 83.
C.the author was completely wet that night.
D.the author opened the umbrella easily then.
小题2:On hearing her mum’s voice the author was much surprised because   .
A.her mum seldom enjoyed going out in such bad weather.
B.her mum did not tell her she would bring her an umbrella.
C.she had planned to go to her house for tea that day.
D.she did not actually realize how much her mum loved her.
小题3:Eric failed to pick up the author in the car for the reason that    
A.he was busy with his work.
B.the car was being repaired.
C.he was fixing the new phone.
D.he did not expect it to rain.
小题4:The best title for the passage can be   
A.I Love Mum.
B.Nice to Meet Mum in the Rain.
C.To Keep Me from the Rain.
D.Mum’s Voice in the Rain.

One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.
“He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go ’” Diaz says.
As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.”
The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, “Why are you doing this?”
Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then you must really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me…..”
Diaz says he and the teen went into a diner and sat in a booth.
“The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi,” Diaz says.
The kid said, “You know everybody here. Do you own this place?”
“No, I just eat here a lot,” Dias said. “But you’re even nice to the dishwasher,” he said.
Diaz replied, “Well, haven’t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”
“Yea, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.
When the bill arrived, Diaz said, “You’re going to have to pay for this bill because you have my money and I can’t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I’ll gladly treat you.”
The teen returned it immediately. “I gave him $20…. I figure maybe it’ll help him.” Diaz says he asked for something in return--- the teen’s knife--- “and he gave it to me.”
Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, “You’re the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch.”
“I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It’s as simple as it gets in this complicated world.”
小题1:What did Diaz do to the teen?
A.He gave the teen a new walletB.He treated the teen to dinner

小题3:For what Diaz did, his mother showed an attitude of _______.

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits (品质) in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What's worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches. (The course I'm teaching here is Public speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
小题1:To compete with American students it's very important to     .
A.be quite confident
B.be polite and friendly
C.have more discussions with them
D.understand what they think about
小题2:A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who     .
A.gives a silly or simple answer
B.tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C.shows no interest in the course
D.is considered to have no opinion of his own
小题3:The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if       .
A.he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B.the students bargain with him
C.he pretends to know what he doesn't
D.he has to give a speech
小题4:We learn from the second paragraph that       .
A.we should also remain modest in America
B.modesty doesn't help you much in America
C.Americans also like modest people
D.modesty can help you through an American graduate program
小题5:What can we infer from the passage?
A.American students are ready to accept the grades from the teacher.
B.The writer teaches in Europe for a living.
C.Students are encouraged to present simple questions.
D.One’s ignorance will give away in time.

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you  36  find in any neighborhood, these two  37 each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their own houses.

Finally, one morning Spotty   43  to take “no” for an answer any longer. He followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say,"  44  me! It’s urgent!”
Then Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a   45  spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie   46  but one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg-hold trap.

Spotty had obviously 53  with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎)with him at night to keep him warm and touching him gently with its nose to keep his  54  up.

Goals can help you do,be and experience everything you want in life.Instead of just letting life happen to you,goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed.By setting goals you are taking control of your life.It’ s like having a map to show you where you want to go.Think of it this way.There are two drivers.One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map.She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns.The other driver has no goal or destination or map.She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver,but she drives without an aim around,never getting anywhere,just using up gas and oil.Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them.Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals.Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident.Goals aren’t difficult to set―and they aren’t difficult to reach.It’s up to you to find out what your goals and ideals(理想)really are.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down,we are more likely to achieve.Written goals can be reviewed regularly,and have more power.Like a contract with yourself,they are harder to neglect(忽视)or forget.Also when you write your goals in a particular way,you are able to make yourself continuously alert(警觉)to situations that will further your goals.
小题1:The writer gave the example of two drivers to show__________.
A.how stupid the first driver was
B.the importance of having a map and right direction
C.how stupid the second driver was
D.the importance of setting goals
小题2:According to the passage,successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because
_________.
A.the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others
B.the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves
C.the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out
D.the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Goals can make you gain everything you want in life.
B.Only successful people can be happy.
C.If you want to succeed,you need to set long-term goals instead of short-term Goals.
D.When we put our goal down on papers,we are more likely to succeed.
小题4:Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Goals help you succeedB.How to succeed
C.Why we always failD.A research on setting goals
