Even I was scared to death by a word my mother said. It all started when my elder brother came home with a heavy bag of cherries（樱桃）a friend gave him. In order to spend a pleasant afternoon, my sister suggested we have a petition to see who could eat the most cherries in as short a time as possible and be the winner. We all jumped at her idea, and the petition began in no time. Our action had to be fast and we must know how to bite in the middle of the cherry to chew and spit the seed out losing no time. I realized that this wasnt a good game to play. And I suddenly found that I have swallowed more than one seed down to my stomach. Then Mother came and laughed and said to me, tonight when you sleep, a cherry tree will grow out from your head.I was jittery and scared . I believed every word she said at that age. I was rather frightened that night thinking how I was going to make it to school the next morning if I had a tree on top of my head or how I would leave this world just like that because of the cherry seeds in my stomach. I couldnt sleep the whole night. Well, the next morning, I woke up to my surprise , and discovered nothing had changed. My head was normal as it was. But one thing remains unchanged until this day. My love for cherries stays forever.46.Why did they start the cherry eating petition? A. Because they wanted to challenge their friends. B. Because their mother asked them to do that. C. Because they wanted to have a happy afternoon. D. Because they just wanted to please their brothers.47.The underlined word jittery (Para 2) probably means_. A. pleased B. disappointed C. lucky D. nervous 48.From the mothers words we can learn that_. A. She was just joking. B. She wanted to help the writer C. She didn t know what to do D. She was too strict with her children49.Why did the writer believe her mothers words? A. Because her mother asked her to do that. B. Because she was too young at that time. C. Because her brother had the similar experience before. D. Because she wanted to have a good relationship with her mother.50.In this passage the writer wants to _. A. Introduce a kind of fruit to readers B. Show her anger to her mother C. Show the reason why she hates the fruit D. Tell an interesting story of her childhoodBIt is not always a good thing to praise children because “empty” words may make them unhappy. Words such as “well done” may make them doubt their own abilities, a leading psychologist (心理学家) Stephen Grosz has warned. He says that words such as “youre so clever” or “youre such an artist” could also hinder their future development at school. He says that such empty praise causes children to be unhappy as they may say they cant live up to these expectations. Instead he advises parents and teachers to praise children less frequently and use words like “trying really hard,” Mr. Grosz said, “Empty praise is as bad as thoughtless criticism (批评). People often pay no attention to childrens feelings and thoughts.” He also mentions research showing that children who are heavily praised probably perform worse at school.Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 pupils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. Afterwards, some were told, “You did really well you re so clever.” But the researchers told the other group, “You did really well you must have tried really lard.” Both groups of children were then given more difficult questions and those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others.He says that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher tell her, “You have drawn the most beautiful tree. Well done,” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same teacher said, “Wow, you are really an artist.” In his book, Mr. Grosz writes, “How could I explain to the teacher that I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter?”As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Mr. Grosz. I praise them when praising is proven right. I want them to know if I praise them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.51. The underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 1 probably means”_”. A. allowB. preventC. encourageD. control52. Which of the following praise does Mr. Grosz like most? A. You are so clever! B. Well done, darling! C. You are such an artist! D. You must have tried hard!53. The example of 128 pupils is given to show_. A. teaching children is a difficult job B. childrens growing interest in math C. the disadvantage of praising children strongly D. children are being cleverer and cleverer54. Hearing what that teacher said, Mr. Grosz _. A. realized the importance of praise B. was very proud of her daughter C. didnt know how to thank herD. was not really satisfied55. What does the author mainly tell us in the text? A. Too much praise can sometimes hurt children. B. Praise makes good men better and bad men worse. C. Parents should spend more time with their children. D. Many children can t live up to their parents expectations.C Moby Dick is an amazing book. I like it thinking its one of those classics you really should read. For me the charm of this book was in the way Herman Melville wrote about whales and the whaling industry. He seemed to view whales with such awe, wonder and worship. As you read this book, you are buoyed(鼓舞) along by his enthusiasm for the splendor and gloriousness of whales. He gives the highest honor to the profession of whaling and highlights the extreme danger the men would have undergone. What I introduce to you first of all is Ishmael, a simple young man looking for adventure on a vessel. He wants to see the world. Through circumstances he meets harpooneer(渔叉手) Queequeg, and the two bee firm friends. They decide to start a whaling voyage together. Their captain will be Captain Ahab, who mysteriously is not present for the loading of the vessel. He also does not appear on deck for several days after their voyage starts. They are not just hunting any whales. They are after Moby Dick the white whale. Many men have gone after him and suffered for it. Ahab himself had tried for him and lost his leg to the whale. The most part of the novel tells his mission of revenge. Herman has real enthusiasm for his subject which draws you in and makes you want to know more. Each character is developed with considerable depth, especially Captain Ahab. You can get into his mind, think what he thinks, feel what he feels.Published by Pengine Popular Classics, this book boasts a whopping(巨大的) 536 pages. It es with a short introduction telling you who Herman Melville was and why he wrote this book, which may be interesting to some.

(请注意问题后的字数要求. ) For many teenagers, a job is a way to earn a little extra money. For me, it is more than that.At the age of 16, I was offered my very first job as a shopgirl in a clothing store. On the first day, my manager was training me how to fold and organize platform after platform of clothes. The work seemed overwhelming, and everything had to be done in an accurate way. I got so impatient because I couldnt get it right the first couple of times. After about ten tries, I had the clothes folded (折叠) perfectly. Then it took me thirty minutes to get them all looking uniform. Now, I fold and organize clothes every day, and Im able to do them well. Through this experience, Ive learned to be patient. Helping customers and establishing connections with them is one of the things I love most about my job. About two months ago, I helped a woman who was looking for a dress. She told me exactly what she was picturinga blue dress with long sleeves and a lace (花边) neck. We didnt have any such dress, and when I explained that to her, she wasnt very happy. Instead of getting annoyed, I tried getting to know her a bit better and asked what the dress was for, so I could find other items in her size that could work. We shared our love of the Netflix fashion show, and she ended up buying $200 worth of new clothes, having found other items she liked. This experience has taught me to be more open with strangers.Every job has its share of frustrations (挫折) and challenges; to do well you must learn to deal with them. Ive learned this from my own experience, and it has helped me in other aspects of my life as well. 71. What was the authors first job? (no more than 5 words)_72.
