I was somewhat bored early-adolescent make student who believed that doing any more than necessary was warred effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.In Mrs. Tottens eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson. Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would flan either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was scared near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time. I had pleted my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totters made her way from the beginning of the class. I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldnt function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer Id got for problem No. 14. I I didnt get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm“Correct. she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isnt always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third. I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.24. What does the underlined put in Paragraph I indicate?A. It is wise to value ones time.B. It is important to make an effort.C. It is right to stick to ones belief.D. It is enough to do the necessary.25. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher alwaysA. asked questions in a regular wayB. walked up and down when asking questionsC. chose two or three questions for the studentsD. requested her students to finish their usual questions26. The author failed to get the questions he had expected becauseA. the class didnt begin as usualB. several students didnt e to schoolC. he didnt try had to make his estimateD. Mrs. Totten didnt sat from the hack of the class27. Which of the following an be the beat title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable TeacherB. A Future MathematicianC. An Effective ApproachD. A Valuable LessonCShould we allow modem buildings to be built nest to older buildings in a historic area of a city ? In order to answer this question, we must firs examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area Not all historical buildings am attractive. However, them may be other reasons - for example. economic reasons - why they should be preserved. So. let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view. new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that then arc examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are normally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings. I believe that it is the duly of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what war there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the name risky choice.28. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.B. They are more pleasing than modem buildings.C. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.D. Some of them art not attractive.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the authorA. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.B. We should reproduce the same old buildings.C. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.D. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.30. By most things forward in the last paragraph. the author probably meansA. destroy old buildingsB. put things in a different placeC. choose new architectural styleD. respect peoples feelings for historical buildings31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain why people dislike change.B. To argue that modern buildings can be both in historic areas.C. To warn that we could end up living in caves.D. To admit how new buildings have mined their surroundings.DPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with mote money. Strange as it may stem, if youre unsatisfied. the issue is out a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires - not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you dont have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (1E)J) to enjoy life. Mom people are already swamped ( 淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many moms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (* t). a royal palace. Every new taste. every additional interest. every fresh enthusiasm adds a man. Here are several moms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and iced your spirit on them. they would make you a happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when youre hungry.Literature, classic literature. is a beautiful. richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person. for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Morans and Bachs shouldnt be absent. Real riches arc of the spirit And when youve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk. you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor. mean a IN in life. No matter who you arc, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life. the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.32.Tbe author intends to tell us thatA. true happiness ties in achieving wealth by fair meansB. big bows arc peoples most valued possessionsC. big louses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD. true happiness es from spiritual riche,33. It can be learned from the passage thatA. more money brings more happinessB. art is needed to make your house beautifulC. literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness34. What would be the best title ferrite passage?A. House of LifeB. Secret of WealthC. Rest and RefreshmentD. Interest nod Enthusiasm35.
