My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this       .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and       . All the students were working        a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no        of stopping. I walked down the row and found        was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my       , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on        I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to       .
After another ten minutes, the students were        to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna      hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to       . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the        of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and        your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼詞). “Friends, we gathered here today to        the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is        by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in       . Amen!”
She turned the students        and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the        of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student        and said, “I Can’t,” Donna        pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

試題分析：本文通過作者參加的一個(gè)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生對(duì)自己有信心的項(xiàng)目告訴我們：要把自己不能做到的事情埋到地下，我們就會(huì)對(duì)自己有信心，就可以做到很多自己不能做到的事情的。
小題1:B 名詞辨析。A工作；B計(jì)劃，安排；C觀察；D課程，事業(yè)；根據(jù)前一句My job was to make classroom observations
and encourage a training program可知我的工作就是推廣這樣的一個(gè)讓孩子對(duì)自己有信心的計(jì)劃。
小題2:C 動(dòng)詞辨析。A檢查，核對(duì)；B注意到；C觀察；D等待；根據(jù)第一句My job was to make classroom observations可知我的工作就是進(jìn)行課堂觀察，這次我來頂了Donna的課堂上來觀察她是如何鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生的。故使用watch表示長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地看。
小題3:A 固定搭配。Work on從事于；在她的課堂上所有的學(xué)生都在從事于一個(gè)任務(wù)：在紙上寫下自己不能做的事情。
小題4:D 名詞辨析。A風(fēng)景；B感覺；C痕跡；D跡象；這個(gè)孩子已經(jīng)寫了半張紙的“I can’t”，但是還是沒有停止的跡象。說明孩子們對(duì)自己的信心不足，認(rèn)為自己有很多不能做到的事情。
小題5:C 代詞辨析。因?yàn)檫@是老師所布置的任務(wù)，所以每個(gè)人都在寫一些句子描述自己不能做到的事情。
小題6:A 名詞辨析。A好奇；B懷疑；C同情；D擔(dān)憂；我發(fā)現(xiàn)的學(xué)生都在寫自己不能做到的事情，這樣的安排引起了我的好奇心。
小題7:C 連詞辨析。我本來想和老師一起來看看會(huì)發(fā)生什么樣的事情，但是我沒有想到的是，老師也在紙上寫她不能做到的事情。上下文之間存在著轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系。故使用but表示轉(zhuǎn)折。
小題8:B 動(dòng)詞辨析。A插入；B打斷；打擾；C談話；交談；D請(qǐng)求；Donna所寫的是：我無法讓John的媽媽來參加家長(zhǎng)會(huì)；沒有被別人打斷，是我感覺最好的時(shí)候。因?yàn)镈onna是老師，在上課的時(shí)候，不喜歡被打斷。
小題9:D 動(dòng)詞辨析。A教育；B展示；C強(qiáng)迫；D指導(dǎo)；要求；又過了10分鐘，所有的學(xué)生背要求把那張紙折疊交到前面。所有的學(xué)生都把那張紙放在一個(gè)空的盒子里。
小題10:A 動(dòng)詞辨析。A增加，加入；B寫；C生成，制作；D折疊；Donna老師把自己的那張紙也放進(jìn)了這個(gè)盒子里。
小題11:C 動(dòng)詞辨析。A哭泣；B祈禱；C挖；D玩耍；根據(jù)上一句Donna got a shovel from the tool house可知她拿出了一個(gè)鏟子，準(zhǔn)備把學(xué)生所寫的這些不能做到的事情都埋掉。故C正確。
小題12:B 名詞辨析。A北面；B下面，底端；C頂端；D邊緣；這個(gè)盒子被放在了洞的最下面，然后很快就被埋掉了。
小題13:A 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)下一段第一句Donna delivered the eulogy (悼詞)說明老師在悼念這些被埋掉的東西，所以學(xué)生要低下頭，就好像是在葬禮上一樣。
小題14:D 動(dòng)詞辨析。A保持；B感謝；C原諒；D紀(jì)念；這是老師的悼詞：朋友們，我們聚在一起來紀(jì)念“I can’t”�！癐 can’t”已經(jīng)被“I can”所取代。永遠(yuǎn)都生活在回憶之中，不會(huì)再回來了。
小題15:D 動(dòng)詞辨析。A記得；B懲罰；C去除；D取代；這是老師的悼詞：朋友們，我們聚在一起來紀(jì)念“I can’t”。“I can’t”已經(jīng)被“I can”所取代。
小題16:C 名詞辨析。A安靜；B心靈；C和平，安寧；D記憶；本句表示這些不能做到的事情都永遠(yuǎn)地存在于回憶之中，不會(huì)再回來了。
小題17:D 固定搭配。Turn down拒絕，調(diào)低；turn up出現(xiàn)，調(diào)高；turn off關(guān)閉；turn around使…轉(zhuǎn)身；老師讓學(xué)生們轉(zhuǎn)身朝教室走過去。
小題18:B 名詞辨析。A出生；B過去；C損失，失去；D開始；他們一起慶�！癐 Can’t”的過去。希望以后再也沒有這樣不能做到的事情了。
小題19:C 動(dòng)詞辨析。A喚醒；B提醒；C忘記；D道歉；如果在這個(gè)時(shí)候，有學(xué)生忘記了自己已經(jīng)把“I Can’t”埋掉的時(shí)候，老師會(huì)指著paper tombstone，告訴他們“I Can’t”已經(jīng)死掉了，我們沒有什么不能做到的了。
小題20:A 副詞辨析。A僅僅，只是；B幾乎不；C嚴(yán)肅地；D生氣地；當(dāng)學(xué)生說自己不能做某件事情的時(shí)候，老師只是指著paper tombstone，告訴他們“I Can’t”已經(jīng)死掉了，我們沒有什么不能做到的了。

While reading a story on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy is ruining their life plans, I couldn't help but think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment –my husband and I probably won't be able to buy a house until we're in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans. But why should it be different? Being young people in America, shouldn't they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won't be able to have children for at least a decade because they can't afford to buy a house yet.
I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury, not a fertility requirement.
A 26-year-old man in the story is disappointed that he can't afford to get a Ph. D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
Yes, it's sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people's expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing. Their parents probably see their home values rise along with their investments. "So we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what living well means," says Kobliner.
This recession will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful—for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day—than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.
小題1:What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?
A．They expect everything to be easy for them.
B．They complain that the economy is ruining their life plans.
C．They are unwilling to face all of the challenges.
D．They are burdened by student loans.
小題2:Which of the following is NOT one of the complaints of the 20-somethings?
A. They can't have children for at least a decade for they can't afford to buy a house.
B. They have only a one-bedroom apartment to live in.
C. They can't buy a house until 40 and are burdened by student loans.
D. They despair of not being able to afford to get a Ph. D. in literature.
小題3:What's Kobliner's attitude towards the 20-somethings with high expectations ?
A．Unbearable.B．Opposing.C．Doubtful.D．Understanding.
小題4:What is the best title for this passage?
A．Young people afford to continue their education
B．Young people can't afford to buy a house
C．Young people's high expectations lead to despair
D．The 20-somethings' high expectations

How do you design a pay plan that motivates people to do their best work? A new study by three Harvard researchers suggests a novel answer: Shortly after you hire new workers, give them a raise.
"Previous research has shown that paying people more than they expect may elicit reciprocity(相互作用) in the form of greater productivity," notes Deepak Malhotra, a Harvard business-administration professor who worked on the study. What he and his colleagues found, however, was that the connection between more pay and extra effort depends on presenting the increase "as a gift—that is, as something you've chosen to do purely as a nice gesture, with no strings attached."
Malhotra and his team studied 267 people hired by oDesk, a global online network of freelancers, to do a one-time data-entry project for four hours. All of the new hires were people in developing countries, for whom hourly wages of $3 and $4 were higher than what they had been making in previous jobs.
The researchers split the group up into three equal parts. One group was told they would earn $3 an hour. A second group was initially hired at $3 an hour but, before they started working, they got a surprise: The budget for the project had expanded unexpectedly, they were told, and they would now be paid $4 an hour. The third group was offered $4 an hour from the start and given no increase.
Even though the second and third groups were eventually paid the same amount, the second group worked harder and produced more—about 20% more—than either of the other two. People in the second group also showed the most stamina, maintaining their focus all the way through the assigned task and performing especially well toward the end of the four hours. Interestingly, the more experienced employees in the high-performing group were the most productive of all, apparently because their previous work experience led them to appreciate the rarity of an unexpected raise.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, Malhotra points out that higher pay, in and of itself, didn't promote productivity: People who made $4 an hour from the beginning worked no harder than those who were hired at $3 and were then paid $3.
To get the most impact from their pay plans, he adds, companies might consider not only what to pay new hires, but when to pay it.
"The key thing is how you present [the reason for an increase]," he says. Doling out extra money could promote productivity most "if you make it clear that the pay raise is something you're choosing to do just because you can. Our theory is that people will reciprocate. If you do something nice, they'll do something nice back."   
小題1:Which of the following is true about the research?
A．None of the participants earned more than $4 an hour in previous jobs.
B．89 of the participants got a $1 wage raise for their high productivity.
C．It was so important that the budget for it was increased in the process.
D．Stamina shown in it was positively related to the amount of money paid.
小題2:What does the underlined word “stamina” most probably mean?
A．The quality of being intelligent or clever.
B．The quality of doing something difficult or dangerous.
C．The physical or mental energy needed to do a tiring activity for a long time.
D．A particular method of doing an activity, usually involving practical skills.
小題3:Why did the second group produce more than the other two groups?
A．Because they thought they were better paid than the other groups.
B．Because they were experienced employees from developing countries.
C．Because an unexpected raise reminded them of their previous work.
D．Because they felt they were nicely treated and tried best to repay it.
小題4:What can we infer from this passage?
A．No pains, no gains.
B．It matters not what we give but how.
C．Honesty is the best policy.
D．Actions speak louder than words.

During the last fifteen years of my mother's life she suffered with Alzheimer's disease (老年癡呆). Until then she had been a bright, cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask, “Who are you?”  I would answer, “I'm your son.”  “Where do you live?”  She would ask. “In California”, I would tell her. “Isn't that interesting,” she would say, “I have a son in California.”
She seemed simply forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease, but later on she would go through periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time.   
Hoping to please her and put her mind at ease I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a child. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn. I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some response. She shook her head and said, “I want to go home.”
Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.
Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have gone in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your guidance.               
小題1:What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs?
A．The author’s mother suffered with serious Alzheimer's disease.
B．The author’s mother forgot who’s his son.
C．The author didn’t know how to cure his mother.
D．The author’s mother couldn’t find her home.
小題2:What is not the symptom of the author’s mother ? 
A．cheerfulB．confusedC．forgetfulD．uneasy
小題3: What’s the meaning of the underlined word “pictured”?
A．photographedB．a(chǎn)ppearedC．describedD．painted
小題4:What can you infer from the third paragraph?
A．The author care much about his mother.
B．The author’s mother was fond of pet lambs.
C．The author saw a little girl playing with a pet lamb.
D．The author’s mother didn’t like her usual home.
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Take Mother Home.
B．Everyone will suffer with Alzheimer's disease.
C．A story about a son and a mother.
D．Where Is Home?

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming 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 focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility 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 don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague 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 and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
小題1:According to the passage, winners       .
A．blame themselves rather than others
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．have responsible and able colleagues
D．deal with problems rather than blame others
小題2:The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．improveB．a(chǎn)cceptC．a(chǎn)void D．consider
小題3:When problems occur, winners take them as ______.
A．excuses for their failuresB．chances for self-development
C．challenges to their colleaguesD．barriers to greater power
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．A Winner’s Opportunity.B．A Winner’s Problem.
C．A Winner’s Secret.D．A Winner’s Achievement.

Last year, for a nationwide teacher conference, I was asked to make a presentation about my classroom. I immediately        to offer to the conference photo collections and mementos （紀(jì)念物）that would prove how meaningful teachers’ work was in the world of classroom.
So, for weeks, I looked        the drawers, boxes, and cupboard, hoping to find just the right prints that would tell of the spirit of my school and my community. All through September, I sought photos of lessons activties and accounts I had put away        in my house. I asked my colleagues to help me find images or objects that would        our most famous community members. By mid-October, I had made a list of them. But, I had also found something       , something much more dear, and very rare.
I found photos of Craig, a high school senior, who gave up two weeks one summer to help little kids draw pictures at a camp. I found notes from Calvin whom I had taught for almost six years, and remembered how he always made sure every classmate felt accepted. I found a resume written by Carrie who        herself without the help of parents, and who took night class, and never        one. I found a copy of Macbeth in Portuguese, which belonged to an exchange student who read it first in her own       , before reading it in ours. Thus she could be sure she wasn’t missing anything important in the       . I found all my students, the students who had made me laugh, the students who had        me with their courage and kindness, the students who had        me to question what I knew of the world outside my own world, the students who had inspired me to expect more from them and from myself.
There I was, standing at my filing cupboard reviewing        —not those I had taught, but the many I had learned.
I came to teaching,        most teachers do, hoping to touch the hearts and minds of my students. What I never expected was how        they would touch mine.
Today I walk through the door of my classroom ready to teach, but also        to learn from the young people who are excited to teach me about them —their insights and interests, problems and anxieties, hopes and expectations.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Self-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations. Self-confident people trust their own abilities, have a general sense of control in their lives, and believe that，within reason, they will be able to do what they wish., plan., and expect. Having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything. Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met，they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.
People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. They generally do not expect to be successful. They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments（贊美）paid to them By contrast，self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. They tend to accept themselves；they don't feel they have to conform in order to be accepted.
Many factors affect the development of self-confidence. Parents' attitudes are crucial to children's feelings about themselves，particularly in children's early years. When parents pro- vide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. If one or both parents are much to critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage children's moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate.
Surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others， especially parents and society. Friends' influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of one's self. Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends.
