       I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class．Having taught in  26  for 17 years, I had no  27  about my ability to hold their attention and to  28  on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue．

       I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “  29  !”

       The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat  30  about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly  31  my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect --- perhaps  32  their admiration．I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement．

       My students  33  diaries．However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually  34  by a strong sense of sadness．The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today． 35  her next lecture will be better．” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a  36  theme．“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical  37  for all the works we will study in class,” I complained．“How  38  they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

       It was a long term, and it  39  became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as  40  of my students．I thought a teacher’s job was to raise     41  questions and provide enough background so that students could  42  their own conclusions．My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide  43  information as directly and clearly as possible．What a difference!

       44  , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a  45  American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture．

30．A．puzzled           B．sure               C．depressed        D．worried

       The earth is getting warmer．The planet is suffering．But what can you do about it? Reduce the amount of waste you generate．Use cleaner energy sources and go greener today, starting with these steps:

1．Get a reusable water bottle

       Americans buy about 25 billion single-serving plastic water bottles each year．That's an average of 83 bottles per person per year．Plastic bottles take plenty of resources to produce, including fuel for transportation and petroleum to make the plastic．Even recycling bottles uses energy．

2．Eat less meat

       You don't need to become a vegetarian to help save the planet．Eating meat just one day less a week can reduce your negative impact on the environment．More water, energy and land are required to produce meat than to produce grain．

3．Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs

       Most households use standard incandescent （白炽的） bulbs．But compact fluorescent （荧光的） light bulbs, or CFLs, use 66 percent less energy than standard bulbs, produce just as much light, last up to 10 times longer and don't need to be replaced as often．If every household in the United States replaced just one incandescent light bulb with a CFL bulb, it would equal removing one million cars from the road．

4．Buy organic and local food

       Did you know that only 1 percent of pesticides （杀虫剂） applied to crops reach the pests they target? The rest enter the environment．Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides．Organic farming can use 50 percent less energy than traditional farming methods．Buying local food saves on the fuel used to transport food grown elsewhere, thousands of miles across the country or around the world．

5．Recycle your electronics

       Everyone knows the importance of recycling glass and plastic, but what about cell phones, computers, CDs and batteries? Electronics are responsible for about 40 percent of toxic （有毒的） heavy metals such as lead and mercury．Check with your city's recycling facilities to see if they take electronics．

72．The readers of this passage are called on to ______．

       A．help reduce global warming         B．use water in a wise way              

       C．donate money for charity     D．keep a balanced diet

73．What is an advantage of CFLs according to the passage?

       A．They use more energy but produce more light．

       B．They can last longer so don't need to be replaced often．                       

       C．They cost less than standard incandescent bulbs．                             

       D．They are as energy-efficient as incandescent bulbs．

74．Which of the following figures is correct according to the passage?

       A．Every year an American buys 63 plastic water bottles on average．                 

       B．Eating meat one day less a week helps cut environment costs．                                  

       C．99% of the pesticides used on crops is effective in practice．                               

       D．Electronics account for half of poisonous heavy metals on the earth．

75．Which can be the best title for this passage?

       A．Why is the earth getting warmer?  

       B．What can we do about pollution?      

       C．How can you lead a greener life?   

       D．Who is to blame for global warming?

We had just finished thirteen miles of hiking in the snowy mountains. We were tired and our muscles  21   as we made our way back to New England.

“You are the only passenger here to say thank you or say something   38   to me tonight and I really appreciate your kindness.”

The   39  of belonging to an elite group of people in first class disappeared as we heard her words. Our seats in luxury offered us more than a comfortable ride. We were   40  that, without kindness, we would be flying in no class.
